Elizabeth Love Husband

Poetry is oftentimes associated with the subjects of love and romance. Poets throughout the ages have used this medium to express their deepest emotions in the most eloquent of ways. Whether the poet is a man or woman is irrelevant. Poets of both genders have succeeded in expressing a heartfelt love to another with a poetic language that speaks volumes in a relatively short amount of text. Two poets from two separate eras each wrote a poem with just such a theme. Anne Bradstreet in “To My Dear and Loving Husband” and Edgar Allan Poe in “Annabel Lee” created magic by writing these poems that express a love for another that transcends time and place.

Survival stories are constantly broadcasted across the nation. People who hear these stories always think of the horrors of the situation and grieve for those who did not make it through. But people are often not found contemplated the thought of survival being a selfish choice. Are survivors selfish for choosing themselves instead of the people around them? The truth is that the answer to this question is complex.

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”.

She says that she loves him to the depth and breadth and height, which indicated that her love is long lasting. The image “by sun and candlelight” that Barrett Browning creates, is that her love may be ordinary like the sun, but its continuous since the light keeps shining day and night, which is why she uses the candlelight to represent the light she has for him is still on at night. Another image that Barrett Browning conveys is “I love thee freely, as men strive for Right, I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise”. This line shows that her love for him is of her own free choice and she compares it to the nationalists that fight for their countries, indicating that their love is as strong as a person’s love is to their country. Barrett Browning also says, “I love thee with the passion, put to use/In my old greifs… and with my childhood’s faith” here, the poet redirected her emotions from her past concerns onto her love. She states that her she loves him with her childhood’s faith, which could mean that she loves him with unquestioning confidence, just like a naïve child might.

Hence, she appraises the responder of how Robert Browning, her lover, has given her a new life and hope “in all her green” for the future. The pleasure and ecstasy she experiences due to his passion are further expressed through the repetition of “Say thou dost love me, love me, love me”. This conveys her excitement and deep infatuation with Robert. It also suggests the joy Robert has given her. Therefore, EBB communicates to the responder how influential true love is and how it can change one’s life forever.

The narrator does not value his wife’s poetry and therefore does not feel connected to her. The narrator remembers the first time his wife showed him the poem she wrote about Robert, and the narrator says, “I can remember I didn’t think much of the poem. Of course, I didn’t

Imperialism is when a strong nation takes over a weaker nation and dominates it economically, politically, and culturally (Imperialism). Many empires sought to expand their rule over other countries or territories. The empires had five main motives for using imperialism and they are: Economic, Exploratory, Ethnocentric, Political, and Religious (Cleary). Having an imperial government made the countries find ways to maximize their profits. Dependent colonies provided raw materials to European factories and markets after the Industrial Revolution (Cleary).

"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense." (Austen, Chapter 24) In the book Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, in a society where marriage is based most commonly on status and wealth, and not love and prosperity, Elizabeth struggles with figuring out what true love is. What is true love?

Her mother died during a time of need in her family. Her father was a large slave owner who lost a large portion of their money when slavery was abolished. She lost a brother, Edward, during the time period she was very sick and was forced to move home to her father. Lastly, she lived a forbidden love causing her the most grief. Her love with Robert Browning was forbidden by her father. Before they eloped and moved away, Elizabeth and Robert wrote 574 letters to each other, explaining their love for each other in words. During this time period Elizabeth wrote a set of poems called Sonnets from the Portuguese, this included Sonnet 43. She felt the best way to express her love, until she could directly speak with Robert, was to write them in the form of poems or more specifically sonnets. With this, the true meaning and understanding of Sonnet 43 is revealed to the audience. She wanted to love a man with all of her heart, but did not know how to express that, so she wrote sonnets

When we think of love we think about a feeling between two people that enjoy being together and saying the words “I Love you”. But love is much more. Love is renewed, unconditionally, never ending, and secure. True love will stand under any situation because it is renewed over and over again. Robert Bunn, A Red, Red Rose represent a love that is renewed and lasting. In this poem, Roberts Bunn characterizes his love, declares his love, and promises his love; which provides assurance of love although he is miles away.

Although it appears that her love towards her husband eclipses everything else, Elizabeth ends this poem with the acknowledgement that it's God's will if this perfect love continues after death. This recognition of God's supremacy, typifies the fervent, Christian beliefs which colored and shaped her ideals of love. This poem to me, symbolizes the purest form of love between husband and wife. Although you could argue that it is written from a selfish perspective, in that she only speaks of her love, her feelings-you have to bear in mind that in Victorian society, women lived their lives solely through their husbands.

Browning stated many times that she does love thee but can't explain her love for him but saying it in her romantic ways of her love to thee. She detailed " I love thee to the depth and breadth and height" (Line 2), which possible means she love him from head-to- toe. In this line she is explaining that there isn't one aspect in which she doesn’t have feelings for. She continued by pointing out her nonstop feeling of love by describing that she loves thee by "Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight" (Line 6). Her feeling of love for thee is an external feeling. I think it means her love is like a bright light that always there and even if it is the sun that offering the light for the day or it the candle that offering light for

For she had praised him in one of her poems. Thus, was the start of their written love. 574 letters were written and were transacted back and forth. Robert being the first whom transferred “his love for her poetry into love for her” (Evans 88) reached out to share his confession through a letter. It has been said actions speak louder than words, however, this was not one of those cases. For example, in “Sonnet 43” Elizabeth continually used the phrase “I love thee” the intense immensity of her infatuation could not alone be read but be felt, some were even touched. Furthermore, her love was “to the depth and breadth and height” in short to infinity and beyond was the amount her love for Robert

William Shakespeare's 18 Sonnet, more popularly known as the "Shall I Compare Thee" sonnet, is about a lover who is speaking to his beloved. Most sonnets serve this same function; to profess love from the sonneteer to some individual whom he loves. In these poems, the lover always uses the most amazing adjectives to describe the woman, or sometimes the man, that he loves. The poet describes every component of his beloved, such as her hair and her lips and her eyes. Although not a sonnet, Robert Burns' poem has the same function; it is a love poem from the unnamed narrator to the

Poetry in Elizabethan time was based on courtly love conventions which included conceits and complements. Themes such as the unattainability of the lady, sleeplessness, constancy in love, cruelty of the beloved, renunciation of love, fine passion of the lover versus icy emotions of the beloved, praise of the beloved’s beauty and eternalizing her as being subject of the poem; these all are
