Comparing The Haunted Palace And Fire And Ice By Frost

Analyse (tell me how the poet creates this image - choice of words, literary devices, implication etc)The idea of a freezing, harsh climate is emphasized with "winter's city" and "winter's leaves". The poet uses words like "death" and "terrible" to highlight the freezing, barren winter.

This poem matters because it talks about how humans are ruining the world. The fire, or human desire, will take over because humans are becoming greedy and selfish, fulfilling their own desires even if it means the world falling apart. The ice, or hate, will take over

Once more, the poet anticipates his own death when he composes this poem. But in each of these quatrains, the speaker fails to confront the full scope of his problem: winter, in fact, is a part of a cycle; winter follows spring, and spring returns after winter just as surely. Age, on the other hand, is not a cycle; youth will not come again for the speaker. In the third quatrain, the speaker resigns himself to this fact.]

To analyze the poem better I took each word as if it symbolized a certain characteristic. In lines three and four, "From what I've tasted of desire I hold those who favor fire" it led me to believe that Frost was trying to use desire as a metaphor to fire. Desire, can usually be used a negative or a positive manner depending on the context it's use. In the poem I think that Frost is using it in a negative sense, because he is uses words like end, perish, and destruction in the poem. Negatively the word desire can mean the drive to win or receive something at any cost, the urge for power, which is very destructive. In lines six and nine "I think I know enough of hate to say that for destruction ice is also great and would suffice". Saying that ice is a metaphor to hate. The word hate is worldly known to have a negative condensation. Hate is also

Poetry has a role in society, not only to serve as part of the aesthetics or of the arts. It also gives us a view of what the society is in the context of when it was written and what the author is trying to express through words. The words as a tool in poetry may seem ordinary when used in ordinary circumstance. Yet, these words can hold more emotion and thought, however brief it was presented.

Poetry is a very powerful mechanism through which writers can tell their readers something about themselves or the world around them. The language used, as well as other elements within “Traveling Through the Dark” by William Stafford and “Woodchucks” by Maxine Kumin, display the speakers’ psychology and what sort of relationships they have with the animals, as well as their deaths in their respective works. The speakers have arguably polar opposite opinions towards nature and have different reactions and emotions to their dilemmas. However, these two poems do have some similar aspects.

The world has several great poets and numerous mind-blowing works, each with its own way of portraying its own message using symbolism to represent lessons of everyday life. Jane Flanders wrote the poem named “Cloud Painter” she shows the world from an artistic way, using a painter and his canvas to help the reader picture the true meaning behind the words and images created. Robert Frost takes on the same idea, but uses a less complex example so that it makes his work easy to understand while not revealing the actual meaning of the poem. Frost and Flanders are just two of the many poets that use nature as a way of explaining the very lessons in life. Each poet has a different way of presenting similar images but from a different perspective. Poems are short stories that have a meaning behind them without revealing them in obvious ways. Although some are confusing and may use a different style there are a few that present the same message even if they are written by a different poet. “Cloud Painter” written by Jane Flanders uses the clouds and other subjects of nature. Such as trees and the hills. to help the reader picture the true meaning behind her poem. Robert Frost's poem by the name of “Nothing Gold Can Stay” also takes the nature route to convey the point of his poems words and their Each has a unique way of creating an idea that most can relate to emotionally and physically.

The two poems that will be analysed are: There’s a Certain Slant of Light by Emily Dickinson, and Black Rook in Rainy Weather by Sylvia Plath. Dickinson’s poem effectively captures the feelings and images that she efforts to portray. The setting of this poem is of the author in her home and it is the middle of a grey winter afternoon. Dickinson describes the light peering into her room, thus her poem is entitled There’s a Certain Slant of Light. This piece relays a dark tone and illustrates specific feelings or lack thereof. Contrarily, Black Rook in Rainy Weather transmits a tone that is slightly more enlightening. Plath paints a picture of herself on a walk when she stumbles upon a black rook on a tree branch and contemplates the events in her life. Both poet’s strongly present their emotions as well as evoke sensations in the readers themselves.

First, I will introduce the poem “Returning to dwell in gardens and fieldsⅠ”. The first sentence “My youth felt no comfort in common things, by my nature I clung to the mountains and hills” opens the gate with recounting the past, claiming that he has disgusted the secular officialdom and loved the almighty nature since he was young. Therefore, this sentence reflects the poet would not get in cahoots with the secular noble. The second sentence “I erred and fell in the snares of dust and was away thirteen years in all” implies that the poet regretted about the past and deeply introspected his career. Thirty years represents a very long time and by saying this, the sentence reflects that is too late to regret. The third sentence “The caged bird yearns for its former woods, fish in a pool yearns for long ago deeps” uses metaphor to make a vivid image to readers. Fish in the pool and birds in the cage are all yearning for freedom, like the poet yearns for Mother Nature instead of officialdom. What he wants is just freedom, as we all

Poetry is a literary medium which often resonates with the responder on a personal level, through the subject matter of the poem, and the techniques used to portray this. Robert Frost utilises many techniques to convey his respect for nature, which consequently makes much of his poetry relevant to the everyday person. The poems “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’ and “The mending wall” strongly illuminate Frost’s reverence to nature and deal with such matter that allows Frost to speak to ordinary people.

“The relationship between the energies of the inquiring mind that an intelligent reader brings to the poem and the poem’s refusal to yield a single comprehensive interpretation enacts vividly the everlasting intercourse between the human mind, with its instinct to organise and harmonise, and the baffling powers of the universe about it.”

“Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words,” Robert Frost once said. As is made fairly obvious by this quote, Frost was an adroit thinker. It seems like he spent much of his life thinking about the little things. He often pondered the meaning and symbolism of things he found in nature. Many readers find Robert Frost’s poems to be straightforward, yet his work contains deeper layers of complexity beneath the surface. These deeper layers of complexity can be clearly seen in his poems “ The Road Not Taken”, “Fire and Ice”, and “Birches”.

Poems are one of the oldest forms of literary expression often times including complex themes. The poem “Come in” by Robert Frost is no exception. The poem provides us with his experience going into the woods, which represent death. The theme of the poem is a description of Frost’s encounter with his personal feelings and emotions, in which he uses “the woods” as a symbol to express what he is feeling. In the poem “Come In”, Robert Frost’s symbolism via birds, and light, imagery of the woods, constant use of metaphors and similes, line breaks, rhyme, and overall sad tone, illustrates the darkness of his thoughts, feelings, and general experiences in his desire to

Here is the interpretation and analysis of the poem based on the sections that respect the grammar and meaning of its sentences:

Within Byron’s work, he writes about his wish to ‘mingle’ his soul with the mountains, the ocean and the starts and he echoes thoughts regarding the relationship between human beings and the grand or terrifying aspects of nature. Within Shelley’s work he discusses the boundaries between mind and nature and the way in which they are blurred. In this particular piece, he identifies with the vast and overpowering aspects of the alpine landscape. Shelley’s visionary landscape is grim and harsh. In the absence of God, the poem seems to suggest mountains have meaning solely as the result of the animating power of human imagination. The piece also acts as a symbol of political freedom. The links between sublime landscapes and ideas of liberty were forged in the 18th century.
