Poetry Analysis of Third Eye by Muhammod Darwish

In the first stanza my view of the man did not change, he was simply a strong man that was comparable to a tree. In the next stanza she softens his appearance, making him seem both strong and graceful, saying that he is “unassailable savor of the airy-fairy of the ballet.” Again my view did not change too much from the first time I read it. In the third stanza when I first read it, I thought of the man as a soldier who had just come off a battlefield, “has meddled in the more serious business of the battle-field,” but the second time I read it I thought of him also trying to find a girl because he, “snuffles the trail of the female and the comfortable passing odors of love.” The fourth stanza was simply a criticism of him stating that while he was handsome he was not intelligent. In the fifth stanza when I first read it I did not really think much of it, just a man going through his day, but the second time I thought more about the word THINGS and felt that it referred to people. The writer states that he is “ pushing THINGS in the opposite direction to that which they are lethargically willing to go,” meaning that his attitude is so strong that it pushes others into doing things the way he wants them done even if that is not what they had originally planned. In the sixth stanza I think it implies that the man is your average man that pushes his ideas on

Essentially a monologue set within a frame, this poem creates two personae. The anonymous author gives a brief introduction and conclusion. The Wanderer, an aging warrior, who roams the world seeking shelter and aid. The Wanderer’s monologue divides into two distinct parts, the first being a lament for his exile and the loss of kin, friends, home, and the generosity of his king. In nature, he finds absolutely no comfort, for he has set sail on the winter stricken sea. Poignantly, the speaker dreams that he is among his companions, and embracing his king, only to awaken facing the gray, winter sea, and snowfall mingled with hail.

In this free-verse war poem, the idea of 'journey' extends itself to cover both the physical and emotional aspects of the subject matter of the poem. Repetition and word

Kabul is a beautiful poem, written by Saib-e-Tabrizi, that is an ode addressing the city of Kabul. Throughout the poem Tabrizi describes the beauty of Kabul. The theme is Kabul is beautiful. The literary devices in this poem are similes, personification,and allusion. These three literary devices portray theme and describe how beautiful Kabul really is.

The poem describes the life of a man during the Vietnam War, a conflict involving the United States and local Vietnamese who supported a communist regime, and how unexplainable sporadic events saved his life. He gives thanks to an unknown force that saves his life multiple times throughout his tour in Vietnam because the instances are what some people consider luck and others and act of a higher being or deity. Throughout the poem he expresses his gratitude towards the entity that watches over him but later he questions the existence of a god because why would one allow there to be a war in the first place and then send

The paths taken in each person’s lifetime can associate with any factor or situation that one may come across. For example, one could come across a path that stands for tradition and the effect of traditional beliefs on a society like the one represented in “Dead Man’s Path.” Another example could be a path that stands for the power of love and the effect of unselfishness that makes one continue with life like the one represented in “A Worn Path.” An additional example could be a path that stands for overcoming doubts of beliefs as these may uphold or tear one apart like the path represented in “Young Goodman Brown.” No path is easier than another and they all hold a spectacular significance in each person’s life. Therefore, in this independent

It is presumed that journeys are uplifting experiences, with the implication that new knowledge and greater insight allow travelers to gain wisdom and solidify a coherent view of the world. Yet, experiences through journeys can result in new knowledge clashing with preconceived beliefs, potentially disabling the traveler’s epistemology. Furthermore, a traveler cannot ignore this conflicting knowledge and return to his prior self at the conclusion of his journey. These themes are explored in Robert Gray’s poems

The explication of the beginning of the poem is so bizarre. The first verse of the poem talks about the speaker’s loneliness. The speaker woke up from the sleep and he is trying to tell about his dream to his old friend. However, He addressed the darkness as his old friend and started to describe it which he had done before. Also, He is saying that when he was sleeping a vision left its seeds and it was deeply rooted in his brain. In this poem silence is the taboo, what he wants to speak about he cannot. The speaker is mentioning to all enlightened people in this poem. Its theme is man's inability to communicate with man.

In this second temple, there was a green jade eye. This eye took you outside of your body and on a spiritual experience. Afterwards, many people laughed from pure joy.

The anonymous manuscript of The Wanderer the depicts ever cycling thoughts of an Anglo-Saxon man dug in his thoughts as he struggles with the loss of an epic hero. The Wanderer, a name fit for a someone confident, in search of something. However, this poem instead showcases a solitary man who dwells on his past rather than looking into the future. Referred to as “grasshopper,” – a title better fit for the elegy – which symbolizes the man’s clear loss of agency as he now lives sulking as instinct. The speaker explains his journey as a comparison to a journey or battle against the world but is rather a journey or battle against his own. The speaker describes a frigid wave bound escapade but is rather explaining his travels to illuminate his lone cold heart (emotionless). As clearly stated within the elegy, the speaker reminisces about old times because he wishes to have back his friends or someone to confide in. But as he already acknowledges, those are now all just memories that he must accept and let pass as these escapades with time become lessons of life. Though named The Wanderer, the elegy instead constructs the reoccurring cycle of unalterable emotion and loneliness as the speaker uses natural symbolism argue for fate but then realizing his life is determined by his relationship with God, not by friends or materialistic things.

This poem is about peace, and how the world would be full of peace. The poem also indicates to take care of others who around and help them for better lives. Furthermore, it illustrates the way we should care about the peace and who is the peace matter. It also presents a question for people to think about how a world without peace would be. In addition, this poem helps people to think about ending the war that we see around the world. It also, encourages people to come hand in hand and improve the world. The speaker in this poem is personae which is creating by a writer rather than defined (Yordon, 2002).

In the poems “The Wanderer” and “The Dream of the Rood,” anonymous authors give way to the idea that an Almighty God will solve every problem a person has by doing two things: 1) drawing upon the memories of a warrior who has lost everything near and dear to him due to war, and 2) entering the dream of a man who has been exiled and isolated. Each piece takes its reader through the trials and tribulations that one may not relate to in this era, yet the reader is still there alongside the character wanting them to find peace with their world and themselves. Initially, it is believed that the characters will overcome their hardships and achieve the happiness they seek. However, as the reader delves deeper into the character’s story, there is an overwhelming sense of incompleteness. What actually happens at the end of each piece is not written in stone - telling us the story is not whole - nor has a conclusion been reached. The intrapersonal thoughts being shared with the reader reveal the obstacles that keep an overall wholeness from occurring.

He returns to his room and waits for his wife to return from her day’s adventures. But later that night he ponders what he really learned: that om has three letters, that mani is a jewel and padme (as the word the Tibetans pronounce "peme" is written) a lotus, and that hum (the Tibetan’s "hung") is an inherent contradiction. The next morning, when he boards his plane to Newark, he has passed his final judgment on the blind man: though he may be a great practitioner of Buddhism, he is a silly, superstitious man, and has grown far too fond of pretty words.

So how is the persona transformed ? Well just like butterflies that go through a metamorphosis, he now understands that you can spiritually feel connected. He comes to terms and values that “men work together even if they are apart”. “Together” and “apar”t is juxtaposed to one another revealing his new “awakening” and engagement of the world around him as he can now hear the “birds”. We along with the persona understand, learn and value that there is a common bond of experience to be shared with other humans turning the poem from one of melancholic acceptance, to one of realisation and happiness, revealing that unexpected discoveries can lead an individual to new perceptions of the world.
