Essay on Pied Beauty

Alliteration is a procedure which points out how word sounds in connection to one another. Alliteration was used to produce a tuneful action. For example, “The delicious singing of the mother, or the young wife at work, or the girl sewing or washing” Whitman Walt (1819-1892, p 750).The author meant that no matter the task at hand everyone went about it with happiness and satisfaction in fulfilling their daily task. It contributed to the tone of the poem by making it a joyous and happy moment despite the fact that each individual

The most use alliteration is in the third stanza. Frost personifies the horse with human qualities; “My little horse must think I’m queer” (5). Frost uses exaggerations like “To watch his woods fill up with snow” (4) and “The darkest night of the year” ( 8).Frost does use hyperbole but stating that “the wind was easy” in (12), typically wind is not easy thing but Frost plays it up with imagery to convey a majestic surrounding. I really enjoyed this poem and could instantly picture the imagery he was trying to convey. Frost does such a great job with his writing that even after the first paragraph, I felt as if I was sitting on that horse. What I love about this poem is regardless of where you are or who you are; this poem can take a little piece from everyone. I feel as humans, we always teeter on the brink of making irrational or impulsive decisions to escape our current reality, but at the end of the day we all know we have family, jobs and obligation’s that hold us back from exploring our inner

What are the rhythm patterns that Frost uses in the poem (include the scansion and technical methods: alliteration, assonance, and consonance)? Frost uses both masculine rhyme and end rhyme. The masculine rhyme is the rhyming sounds that contain only one syllable such as wood, stood, and should. The end rhyme pattern that Frost uses is, A, B, A, A, B C, D, C, C, D E, F, E, E, F and G, H, G, G, H. (Arp & Johnson, 2009). There are lines of this poem that show the alliteration method, two examples are found in line 6-“then took the”, and line 8- “wanted wear” Assonance also

A few of the literary devices that i can see being used are assonance, consonance, and alliteration. I for one love the things that happen in poetry or writing when the writer knows how to make good use of these things, the words tend to flow like a gentle breeze through trees. This alone is a large part of what makes this poem appealing to me.

The authors use of alliteration helps to provide specific tones to the words Oliver chooses to use. These tones then go on to provide more accurate connotations that prove their significance in the poem. For example, when Oliver wrote "the dark burred faintly belching bogs" the repetition of the "B" sounds give an accurate description of what an actual swamp may sound like. Words like "belching" and "bogs" are not words commonly associated with things like beauty and ease. This the helps to signify the readers of the difficulties the speaker is experiencing. Another

Alliteration is a key aspect to how the reader experiences the poem; it especially gives interest toward alliteration of the letter T. This alliteration begins in the very first line “Tell all the Truth but tell it

The subjective element of beauty involves judgment, not opinion. Many people feel beauty is only something seen by the eyes. St. Thomas Aquinas views beauty in both the supernatural and natural orders. Aquinas lists the attributes of beauty to be found in nature. These are; unity, proportion, and clarity. We will see how these attributes of beauty are seen through the eye and felt by the heart.

Passage one in the description of the Caddagat garden alliteration is used to describe the condition, smell and beauty of the day and the garden. ‘soothed by the scent’, ‘soft spring sunshine which streamed’, ‘revelled in rich’ and ‘lapfuls of the lovely’ all have the alliteration of a different sound, the first two quotes being the ‘s’ sound to making it more flowing and smooth is then followed by the ‘r’ sound to put more expression on the start of the words and the sentence its self. This is then finished with the ‘l’ repetition to put forth the rolling off the tongue in some form of pleasantry to the reader. The second passage then uses ‘bold, bad’ with popping of the ‘b’ to send a sense of urgency and extremity on the situation and emotions that are being expressed, this is the same with ‘don’t dare’ and the use of the alliteration in the ‘d’. (Did you like that bit Mrs.Burrows?!). This is then followed with the ‘s’ in the words ‘sex is sufficient’ putting a strong confirmation on the words and their meaning behind it. This is also continued into passage three with the ‘a peasant, a part’ and ‘flood, fire’ with the view focused on that starting letter of ‘p’ and ‘f’.

In this story there is a lot of alliteration used and this alliteration to show the entertainment in the story. One example is the sentence “But hard as he hammered down, it hurt him not more than to nick the nape of his neck, so it split the skin;” Almost every line in this part of the story used alliteration in every sentence which created a mood that kept people reading and now looking deeper into this stuff I could see that this creates a rhythm for this story.

There is alliteration all throughout the poem but a few examples that stand out are, “Today, the road all runners come,” which has the alliteration of the “R” sound and, “Smart lad, to slip betimes away,” which has the alliteration of the “S” sound. Some examples of personification are, “Eyes the shady night has shut,” and “After earth has stopped the ears.” These are good examples because the night has no eyes to shut and the earth does not have ears. Finally, the examples of metaphors are, “It withers quicker than a rose,” because it compares the life of the laurel plant to the life of a rose and, “Townsman of a stiller town,” because it compares a stiller town to a graveyard of

This is where I got frustrated with trying to understand the poem. I personally think of nature I think of peace and tranquility and I originally thought that the poem had a peaceful vibe to it. However, I started to analyze the poem while looking at the “Glossary of Traditional Symbols in Western Literature”. This glossary helped me break down some of the ideas to get a better understanding. The first word I decided to look at was the world blackbird, when you break the word down, the word black basically means sad and really bad things and the word bird means freedom, the complete opposite of sorrow and death. After I had looked at each part of the poem and then looked at it as a whole I notice two different tones to the poems story. The poem start off talking of aging, death, and obstacles, then it transitions to accomplishments, calmness, harmony, and purity. To conclude, I believe that every poem can have more then one type of tone and it is important to keep an open mind while reading

the first few lines, there seems to be similar word patterns. Not every poem needs rhyme as

There is a rhythm throughout the poem with strong rhyme, this pattern is like heavy breathing you have when you try to go to sleep it could also represent the rhythmical counting of sheep.

This does allow the reader to focus on how the horse is shaking his harness bells. “The only other sound’s the sweep” (10). In this line the “O” and “S” sound is being repeated. The reader was able to understand how this line was meant for what the speaker heard during his stop. “The woods are lovely, dark and deep,” in line 13 the “D” sound is being repeated to emphasize the scenery of the woods. By using the words “dark” and “deep” the reader is able to understand the big idea of how the woods must have looked through the speaker’s eyes. Frost was able to grab the reader’s attention to each subject from his use of alliteration throughout the poem.
