Poem Analysis: Embrace Of Terraithe

What would you do if you could rewind time? Paul Verlaine, who was elected “Prince of Poets” by the French literary world, would probably want to rewind time if he could (Biography n. pag.). He was identified as “a major influence on the burgeoning symbolist movement and Decadent movement” (Biography n. pag.). The subjects of his poems are “living, sorrow and grieving, time and brevity, love, heartache and loss, landscape and pastorals, and nature” (Biography n. pag.). In December 1880, the publication of a new collection of poems, Sagesse (Wisdom), subsequently comes to be seen as a major work of Verlaine, as one of his most beautiful (Biography n. pag.). It comprises more than forty poems, some religious, other profane, and some which can see Verlaine’s remorse and loneliness (Biography n. pag.). “The sky above the roof’s…” is one of the collection of poems, Sagesse (Wisdom), using the visual imagery illustrating the nature.

In 1913, the Johnsons abandoned the farm and moved to nearby Johnson City. The family house, while comfortable by the standards of the rural South at the time, had neither electricity nor indoor plumbing. Lyndon, like his father, wanted more for his future. In fact, when he was twelve, he told classmates, "You know, someday I'm going to be president of the United States." Later in life, Johnson would remember: "When I was fourteen years old I decided I was not going to be the victim of a system which would allow the price of a commodity like cotton to drop from forty cents to six cents and destroy the homes of people like my own family." The climb out of the Texas Hill Country, however, would be a steep one. School, at first, was a one-room,

The Lord spoke to Mo`-ses somewhere in the wild Of Mount Si`-nai inside where they knew, Of Is`-ra-el’s whole congregation beguiled, In the first day & month, & year two. “This visit came after the exodus from E-gypt-land, saying, “Now is the time To count the entire congregation, the sum Of the children of Is`-ra-el’s prime. “To name ev’ry one of their father’s house, by Ev’ry male in each clan by their names.

I notice that Kay Ryan develops the meaning of the poem from literal to metaphorical. She does this throughout the stanzas. The first stanza says, “They are not imaginary but accessible only intermittently.” She uses language that leads the readers to believe that this poem is literal. In the second stanza, this is where the meaning of the poem shifts from literal to metaphorical. She says “Seasonal, shall we say, in the way of the exquisite high parts of Yosemite”. After reading and examining this stanza, the meaning of the poem opens up and changes from literal to metaphorical. What if “These places” weren’t actual places, they were a state of mind. This makes sense because a feeling or a state of mind is not imaginary, it’s real and certain feelings are accessible only occasionally, hence the word “Seasonal”. Plus, if the

They taste rotten when entering my lips, their tails stick to my mouth like ticks.

As Grendel is introduced in the poem, the quote immediately tells the reader that Grendel is an outcast compared to others. As a natural instinct, people assume a flaw is a flaw and there is something bound to be wrong with the individual, because he is not like the rest of the others, he is different. However, less emphasis is placed on the quote which helps to justify why the creature is as it is, The quote, once analyzed, helps to explain the creature itself from how it was brought up and the background behind all its actions. It so happens to be a trait that was carried throughout each generation. Having been a part of the Germanic culture, the role of Grendel plays a major role when it comes to picking and choosing one's destiny.

The Vacuum by Howard Nemerov talks about a widower and his late wife, and how he uses the vacuum as a symbol for her death. The poem expresses deep sorrow and sadness that derive from the loneliness of the speaker, after his other half’s passing away. Nemerov attempts to take his readers on a grief-stricken journey, by strategically employing figurative language (mainly personification, metaphor, simile, and alliteration), fractured rhyme schemes and turns in stanza breaks in the poem.

In the middle of Missouri you’d think you would probably find lots of farmland, fields of corn or wheat, cows; Old MacDonald pretty much living down the road, but that is no longer the case. Anywhere you are lucky enough to find land, the grass is shriveled up, dead and crunchy beneath your feet. Now all of the barns are filled with families rather than farm animals; more and more people are traveling to live here since the coasts are shrinking and they’ve got no place to go. I imagine they miss their old lives by the beach, I bet the coasts have a much sweeter smell than the dryness of the land here. Sometimes I see people at the edges of the river, probably reminiscing about the place they used to call home, but none dare to touch the murky

Winner of the 2006 Ester McCoy Award as well as being named a MacArthur Fellow in 1998, Mike Davis has written over twenty published books as well as hundreds of chapters, excerpts and college journals throughout his career. Urban theorist, historian and political activist, Davis has made quite the name for himself in the urbanist community, especially on the West Coast and Southern Califonia where he has taught classes at multiple universities including UCR and UCI. (URI.edu). Davis echoes and often cites the work of other great minds: Lewis Mumford, Garret Eckbo and, of course, Karl Marx. Also in 2006, Davis published "A Planet of Slums," a nonfiction novel centered around the world 's dramatic population growth coupled with economic recessions resulting in cities made of dirt instead of dreams. These megaslums are literally taking the space of any rural areas left while also figuratively destroying the concept of the modern metropolis. In addition to merely running out of space for our ever growing Crude Birth Rate, Davis also blames the IMF and the World Bank for the economic states of these megaslums.

This very well-known poem ‘Sanctuary’ was written in the early ‘50s by Judith Wright. Judith was a prolific Australian poet, critic, and short-story writer. She was also an uncompromising environmentalist and social activist campaigning for Aboriginal land rights. She believed that the poet should be concerned with national and social problems. The poem ‘Sanctuary’ was written as a great expression of environmental concern from her. The poem begins with a shocker. Sanctuary, implicitly, is a place of habitation which is safe. However, the first lines of the first stanza, “The road beneath the giant original trees sweeps on and cannot wait” represents a contrast. Here the road is used metaphorically to symbolise today’s modern developments taking place at the cost of all round natural destruction. The poem then unfolds the gloomy mood of the poet in the description of dangerous driving in the night on the road through the Sanctuary to the city: “only the road ahead is true.” In the last line then she is simply sarcastic: “It knows where it is going: we go too.” In fact the road never knows where it is going, but we know where we are going! The poet subtly asks: do we know where we are going by destroying our own habitation, native forests, plants and animals?

The Syrian Refugee crisis is not a foreign concept as of late. Syria’s civil war has created one of, if not the worst humanitarian issues this world has ever seen. These issues are made prevalent in the song “Borders” by M.I.A, and also in the poem “Home” by Warsan Shire. Both lyrical pieces have a rhythm about them that unveil all the tragedies that have unfortunately become a reality. Although the presentation of the message is not quite the same, M.I.A exploring the crisis with an upbeat rap song and Shire through a videoed poem, both project the crisis in a way that clenches the heart and reminds everyone that these are real people facing real problems, and humanitarian valiance is vital.
