Analysis Of The Lady Of Taktse By Jigme Tenzin

In “Those Winter Sundays”, Robert Hayden introduces us to the theme of love unlike in any other poems. The theme of love in this poem is different from any other contemporary love themes because here, Hayden doesn’t talk about the amorously affectionate emotion between young lovers like Romeo and Juliet, but the deep familial love between a parent and a child. This kind of love is not pretentious. Their love is not exhibited by kisses or hugs; while it may go unnoticed it is always in existence. Hayden showcases the love between the parent and a child as the most selfless and strongest love of them all. Hayden defines an unspoken love and offers us a glimpse into an ordinary father-child relationship by the use of literary elements such as sound, point of view of the speaker and imagery with vivid description that includes details that appeal to the senses.

Around midnight on a “bleak December” night, a “weak and weary” man is reading while “nearly napping”. He reads as a means of nullifying the sorrow he feels “for the lost Lenore”. Suddenly, he is jolted alert by some visitor tapping at his chamber door. The lonely man tells himself “ ‘Tis some visitor” “and nothing more”, but as he widely opens his chamber door, he finds “darkness there and nothing more”. Staring into the darkness, the narrator dreams about the impossibilities of his lost love, and even whispers her name; ‘Lenore’. Upon returning to his chamber, a stronger tapping, at the window, is catching his attention. Courageously exploring the noise, he is amused and relieved when a raven flies in from

To his Coy Mistress, I would say they are all tragic poems as The Lady

This poem was about very religious. In this poem she talks about her admiration of

warmth about her as if this were a kind of love, the caresses of love, and her mind slipped over onto thoughts of the boy she had been with the night before and how nice he had been, how sweet it always was, not the way someone like June would suppose but sweet, gentle, the way it was in movies and promised in songs. (1875).

As the foreign element in the poem, she already emanates a curious vibe of exotic fantasy displayed from her "strange" language (23), such an impression then leading to her positioning as the Other whom which the knight fails to comprehend. But she is also mystical in that her very being is subjected to unfixable definition. The lady is attributed to be both “belle dame” and “beldame”, her dual identity presenting as a “macaronic pun” (Williams 214), as a bilingual mix of words operating within the same context. While “belle dame” in French depicts a pleasant beautiful maiden, the English version “beldame” contradictorily points towards the figuration of a malicious old hag. Thus, the lady’s name itself already signifies a kind of perplexing fluidity. Her true nature can never be clearly captured by the knight, akin to how one can never grasp flowing water within the palm. Right from the start, she is already portrayed as an elusive Dionysian entity which cannot be readily subsumed within the Establishment’s fixed Apollonian codes of understanding. The knight regards her brows as washed out with “feverish dew" (10). Dew holds a refreshing quality and symbolically represents the vitality of renewal. However, this pristineness is quickly being transmuted into that which enacts agony and

This poem by Charlotte Mew tells a story in which a farmer marries a very young girl who could not be less ready to marry. The maid in this poem is abused throughout the poem by her so called husband who does not treat her even as a human. Her marriage arranged at a young age the girl is forced into adult duties and actions much too early. This cause many issues to her mental health and her trust towards other humans. The farmer, as the narrator, uses several similes throughout the poem comparing the maid to a rabbit. This shows how he views her and why he treats her like he does in the poem. The six uneven stanzas allows Mew to express her intentions not limited to another's style. This allows for amazing line placement throughout the poem, and the only form she follows throughout the poem is iambic tetrameter. There is no rhyme scheme allowing Mew to have freedom like the girl so much desires. In “The Farmer’s Bride”, Charlotte Mew uses irregular rhyme and form with iambic tetrameter, as well as thorough imagery and comparison to show the broken marriage in this poem.

When they arrived they were greeted with roses by the governor. The rain had finally stopped and it was supposed to be a beautiful day with blue skies. The nice weather

Love can be quite a difficult topic to write about, expressing one’s intimate and innermost emotions requires a great level of dedication and honesty. If done correctly, the outcome is truly stunning. John Donne’s “A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning” and Katherine Philips’s “To Mrs. M.A. at Parting” are two masterpieces of this genre. These poems depict the concept of true love so meticulously that the reader cannot help but envy the relationships presented. Perhaps the reason that these works are so effective is due to the fact that they are incredibly similar to each other. Although some differences are present when it comes to structure and gender concerns, the poems share the same theme of love on a spiritual level and show many parallels in meaning.

So she cut off her nose and her legs and offered them up.” Based on the stereotypes for females today to be pretty, polite and skinny, this girl in the poem was having her identity taken away while she was trying to

The summer winds dance through the cobbled streets and tickle the auburn branches, the olive leaves swaying delicately in reply. Burrowed within its protection dwell the many appalling crows that, without the vigilant eye, mask the rare white dove. The dove, whose soft lulling coos could revive the ears of the deaf as Juliet’s tender voice heals my sorrow.

The poem Perhaps by Vera Brittain captivates, as well, it portrays being genuine sincere. The writer reveals so much emotion and feeling with her words, which is clearly able to predict based upon the poem. When read, this poem shows compassion as well as hidden sorrow in every stanza. The words written in this poem perfectly align beautifully to make an extraordinary and insightful piece of literature. Brittain is an exceptional writer and this shows all throughout the poem with her use of punctuation, imagery, allegory, and many other literary aspects.

The last line, “a heart whose love is innocent,” reflects that the woman is truly pure and has a good heart. This line leave the reader feeling very peaceful knowing that this maiden is pure and true in her innocence.

Spenser initiates his pastoral in the month of January with an eclogue that asks the reader to bend their notions of normative “masculine” traits through Colin Clout when he says, “enamoured of a countrie lasse called Rosalinde...” and so wrought over her he is not only “robbed of all former pleasaunce,” but “breaketh his Pipe in peeces, and casteth him selfe to the ground.” In an epoch where men stereotypically portray women as the “emotional” gender and marriage as a means of sociopolitical advantage, the reader is thrust into a lonely winter’s day and, through a dramatic monologue, gives issuance to overhear a young shepherd boy in the pangs of love. Additionally, although the general connotation of the breaking of his pipe is seen as the

Certain Lady is a poem that expounds about a lady who has continuously been hurt by the man she loves, because even though she loves him very much, he keeps telling her about his adventures with other women. The lady talks of the many deaths that her heat has had to endure to demonstrate the number of times that she has been betrayed by the man that she loves, yet the man only talks of his conquests, which he revels in sharing with her. The man fails to see beyond his adventures; that is he does not see the love that the lady has for him and what she is continually forced to endure.
