Analysis Of The Poem ' Sharda '

Cummings and Pablo Neruda present the theme of their poems by having their two speakers addressing the women they love. The two speakers cope with the idea of prospective change in two completely different ways: Cummings’s speaker faces the end of his relationship as a situation that hurts him but in the end he accepts it, while Neruda’s speaker doesn’t care about his lover’s past as the only thing he wants is to make a couple with her. Thus, there are both similarities and differences in the poetic devices used in the two poems, while the tone of the speakers’ voice differs too, as in the first poem is sad and melancholic whereas in the second poem is confident and

The sweet aroma of the apple pie wafted through the kitchen door and flooded the whole house. The sun shined brightly as the waves crashed on to the beach and the sand was burning hot. The birds chirped and animals awoke as nature was alive for the first time since the winter. These details are all specific memories that are related to these pieces of writing. “Once More to the Lake” by E.B White and Forgetfulness by Billy Collins are deep and meaningful texts. In the essay by E.B White, the main character is a father and goes to the lake with his son. During the trip, the main character feels like he is living a dual existence with his son and remembering memories from his childhood. On the other hand, in the poem Collins, writes about

` E.B White, author of famous stories like Charlotte’s Web, once said ,"The middle track was missing, the one with the marks of the hooves…”. He continues on with this phrase, trying to connect the reader to the concept that change comes with time. In “” Once More to the Lake” by E.B White and ” Forgetfulness” by Billy Collins, both writersauthors strive to make the reader understand how nothing can stay the same throughout the tests of time. In White’s story, he narrates an experience of going to the lake that he used to visit when he was young. He takes his son with him, and at first, sees himself in his son, but eventually succumbs to the repercussions of time, proving that he is closer to death than previously thought. Additionally, the poem ”Forgetfulness” address the same topic. Billy Collins, the author, describes experiences that display memories being forgotten over time. Collins, therefore, tries to show the reader that memories tend to fade, or change, over one’s lifetime. Therefore, using diction and figurative language, E.B White and Billy Collins help one better understand that the true tragedy of time is the change that comes with it.

Moving on, the poem “Forgetfulness” by Billy Collins and E.B. White’s essay “Once More to the Lake” both use important figurative devices to describe the theme of how

Pablo Picasso, born Pablo Ruiz, was destined to become an artist at a very young age. Born in Malaga, Spain on October 15, 1881, the young artist began to follow in the footsteps of Jose Ruiz Blasco—his father. Many say that Picasso's love for art was

When you read a long poem, sometimes as a young ready, you lose interest. The longer the poem, the faster a reader gets over it. I believe Neruda does not want his readers to lose interest. He wants his readers to understand the meaning behind his art. The reason I say this, is because of his word choice in his poems. The

Due to his relationship with ego, the Egoist at first ignores actuality. Only upon harmonizing with nature, and subsequently renouncing the personal ego, can he enjoy life. Neruda introduces The Egoist’s narrator with the passionate lamentation, “O heart lost / inside me, in this man’s essence, / what bountiful change inhabits you!” (22-24). Neruda introducing a persona and first-person perspective establishes a shift for the poem; it now contemplates the self’s effects on a personal rather than universal level. Although one might expect losing their separateness to traumatize, Neruda once again subverts expectations by expressing the loss’ beauty as bountiful change. Moreover, Neruda’s enjambment separates this passage into three distinct sections: the cause, the ego’s death, and its liberating effects. Before losing his self, the Egoist embodied “the culprit / who has fled or turned himself in” (25-26). The Egoist’s past highlights the illusory self’s ultimate folly; the inevitable self-absorption accompanying it. Some, like the Egoist, spend their entire lives trying to inflate their egos via fruitless activities like crime, believing they will

Federico Garcia Lorca was born in 1898 and died in 1936, he lived through one of the most troubling times of Spain's history. He grew up in Granada, Spain, and enjoyed the lifestyle and countryside of Spain. His father was a wealthy farmer and his mother was a school teacher and encouraged his love of literature, art, and music. He was an extremely talented man. A respectable painter, a fine pianist, and an accomplished writer. He was close friends with some of Spain's most talented people, including musician Manuel de Falla, and painter Salvador Dali. Lorca was a very liberal man who lived un dictatorship for most of his life. However, in 1931 Spain turned into more of a democracy, and was called "The

Neruda then states, "I do not dare, / I do not dare to write it, / if you die" (YEAR, 4-6). Neruda repeats the "do not dare" to

Neruda begins his sonnet in a most unusual manner. He states in the first few lines ways in which he does not love his companion. He does not love her as if she were “the salt-rose, topaz, or arrow of

When I was a little girl at early of my age, I spent a wonderful time with my grandma near a sea in my hometown during the last two months of her life. That was the first time we saw the smile back to her face since we got the news that she got intestine cancer. Back to that time I was deeply impressed by how being around the sea was capable to change people’s emotion in such a positive way. The poet, Pablo Neruda, in his poem “The Sea” illustrates how the sea teaches a trapped man a lesson on how to be released from struggling to find freedom and happiness. The three crucial poem-writing elements, sound, structure, and figurative language make the power of sea more vivid just like a picture we could see and have physical feelings about. And when we try to get a deeper understanding of the poem, it is the sound that we hear first.

The first way I noticed that Pablo Neruda uses form to establish a grief-filled tone in his poem is by repetition, specifically, of the word “night”. The word is present through his entire work. Nights are linked to darkness, and darkness is neurologically linked to depression. In 2007, some neuroscientists at the University of Pennsylvania conducted a study with rats which concluded that light deprivation produces depression in rats. So it is scientifically correct to say that this repeated darkness adds to the grief-filled tone. His first word in both the title and line 1 of the poem is “Tonight” (1) which derives from the word night. After this,

At the mere age of seventeen, Pablo Neruda wrote ’Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair’ and it has since become one of his most famous collection of poems. Once, in an interview, Neruda stated that he could not understand “why this book, a book of love-sadness, of love-pain, continues to be read by so many people, by so many young people” (Guibert, 2015). He also mentioned that “Perhaps this book represents the youthful posing of many enigmas; perhaps it represents the answers to those enigmas.” (Guibert, 2015). Neruda was one of the first poets to explore sexual imagery and eroticism in his work and become accepted for it. Many Latin-American poets had attempted the same, but failed to become popular with their critics. He merges his own experiences and memories with that of the picturesque Chilean scenery to present a beautifully poetic sense of love and sexual desire. The collection hosts quite a controversial opinion, however, amongst critics and readers alike, with the risqué themes running throughout the poems. Eroticism being one of the most evident and reoccurring themes.
