This book report is an analysis of the Egyptian Love Poem [ My god, my Lotus…], from the book, The Norton Anthology of World Literature, Volume A. Egyptian Love Poems date back to 1300-1100 B.C.E., they were written on papyri, potsherd, and flakes of limestone. Papyri are a sheet-like material that was made out of pithy stems from a water plant.

In the poems “Pamphillia to Amphilanthus” and “I… and Your Eyes,” there are similarities and differences. The poems are both about love. The poems have different perspectives on how they view love. The poems have the same subject, but in contrast have differences of how the subject is viewed. The poems’ styles and theme also have differences and similarities.

During both Tales we also incorporate two statements from the Art of Courtly Love. The Art of Courtly Love, it states “Love is always increasing or decreasing” and “Real jealousy increases the act of love.” This is also used in our modern age of relationships. Through marriages and anniversaries, there is loving increasing. While when two lovers begin to separate it is when love begins to decrease. In a negative view, we can see when a lover previously in a relationship became jealous, they can become jealous-hearted. These statements on love we experience regularly today, is also present in both

In this essay I will be commenting on the presentation of relationships in two poems. The first poem is ‘Les Grands Seigneurs’, in which the speaker remarks on her life before marriage, where she was adored and worshiped by men, and how it has changed after marriage. ‘My Last Duchess’ is a dramatic monologue in which the speaker comments on his late wife and her character, suggesting that she was unfaithful to him and hinting that he may have murdered her because of this.

Love is a special emotion that most individuals strives for. Part of a human’s nature is to love and long for another individual. This feeling has existed since the beginning and will continue to exist until the end. The term “love,” however, is very broad. To understand more easily what the term means, the Ancient Greeks came up with three terms to symbolize the three main types of love. The three classical types of love are very important to understand, as they will continue to exist until the world ends. The selected poems read reflect three classical types of love.

In this poem, she expresses her love, through heart smoldering words, which could be felt through her speech act of exhortation. She appeared optimistic, about the continuity of her friendship and love with her lover. Her disposition in this literary act, unveiled her temperament. She favors romance and sexual intrigue. Her style of thought here, is intuitive and realistic because she talks about a tangible subject matter. She touches and holds the love she feels for her man friend with her words. This poem also appeals to the reader’s intellect and emotions because of her soft and emotional tone. Her words are not ambiguous or obfuscating. They have clear meaning, and are written in plain tense, which makes it easy to read and understand. Her poem is also built on comparison; she compares being lovers and friends, to memories shared, love made, tears shared and the significance of her romance with her lover. The poem lacked some rhyme scheme and imagery, however, it is divided into quadrant stanzas and follows a repetition of syntactical structures. Both capitalization and punctuations are present. This is a great poem that expresses the symbolic meaning of love and friendship. She teaches that, love is not based on sexual intercourse or transient things, but upon the love that we have,

There are numerous fundamental feelings that structure the building squares of our lives. These feelings help to shape the individuals that we are. These emotions are enthusiastic necessities to eventually keep us euphoric. No bit of writing these emotions more apparent than the Odyssey by Homer. All through the course of this book there is one major enthusiastic subject: love.

Love is such an abstract concept for the human mind to figure out. Along with the love of a mother for her child, there are many types of sensual love or brotherly love; friendship is frequently described as a type of love, as well. This abstraction can also be distorted and made to fit into categories that would normally be associated with negativity and abuse not "love." Think of why a woman will continually go back to an abusive spouse with the irrational reason that "he loves me." If he loved you, he wouldn't beat you…Would he? In a poem, the confusion seems only to extend, as writers will describe a beautiful event that is tainted by a

If I should stay, I'll only be in your way, so I'll go, but I know I'll think of you every step of the way. Now everybody asks me why I'm smiling out from ear to ear. They say love hurts but I know It's gonna take a little work Nothing's perfect, but it's worth it after fighting through my tears this is the year for new beginning. The authors of the poems, “A Simile” and “Moon Rondeau” compare the steps of a relationship by using symbolism, analogy and imagery.

Both the Song of Songs and Sappho’s love poems stem from the core concept of the overall intimacy and indescribable nature of love. Both reach to describe love by comparing to the beauty of nature and the underlying feelings presented by nature; however, the two differ in their specific context of love. The Song of Songs covers what would be today called the “honeymoon phase” where the love is sweet, perfect and what the world envisions, whereas Sappho takes the melancholic side of love, focused on entrapment, and overall heartbreak. These differences create completely different stories of love, one of life long happiness, and one of chasing love.

Kooser’s theme in this poem is about love can overcome sickness or the strong love inside the family bond nothing can block the love away. Love is one of the element to make human’s relationship strong. Love is unconditional, valuable, and unpayable. Love can only occur sincerely from the bottom of our

A poem is a piece of writing that partakes of the nature of both speech and song that is nearly always rhythmical, usually metaphorical, and that often exhibits such formal elements as meter, rhyme, and stanza structure. In her poem, “Variations of the Word ‘“love”’,” Margaret Atwood introduces to her audience the word “love” from many different perspectives. Google defines “love” as “an intense feeling of deep affection”, or “having a deep feeling or sexual attachment to (someone).” But “love” is not something that can easily be described. Atwood goes on to present and portray the word through different illustrations, beginning with cliché examples and ending with her own personal scenarios. The author’s tone and metaphorical language effectively conveys her perspective of “love”.

Love can give you both meaning and destruction. In the novel Kokoro author Natsume Soseki writes a novel showing the meaning of feeling, love , and freindship. In the novel there is a narrator who is not named and a man named Sensei; as the book progresses one sees the narrator becoming attached to Sensei in a overly attached way. One goes through seeing the narrator following Sensei everywhere and slowly them becoming good friends. The narrator ended up giving Sensei his life in which Sensei saw as a depressing mass that overwhelmed him day by day. The narrator ends up falling in love with a women name's Jason and he has competition with a man named K. The narrator becomes jealous of K and can not handle his feelings for Ojosan. Thus creating a dynamic that both intrigues the narrator but also develops the narrator but also the friendship he has with Sensei. In passage two one see’s the narrator’s love for Ojosan first hand. This passage shows that Sensei has insecurities which restrain him from marrying Ojosan. Soseki utilizes word choice, dialogue, and symbols to show the complexity of his insecurities in their relationship.

Passionate lovers so their affection for their partners and that is my key theme in this poem; looking at how they do this. I will also be exploring the relationship between Romeo and Juliet and how it compares to the relationships in the poems have chosen.
