Tavi What Is The Power Of Love?

Since the beginning of human existence love has earned a meaning of pure bliss and wild passion between two people that cannot be broken. Through out time the meaning of love has had its slight shifts but for the most part, maintains a positive value. In the poem “Love Should Grow Up Like a Wild Iris in the Fields,” the author, Susan Griffin expresses that this long lost concept of love is often concealed by the madness of everyday life and reality. In the poem, Griffin uses many literary elements to help convey the importance of true love. The usage of imagery, symbolism, and other literary techniques really help communicate Griffins’ meaning

Love is not always an easy adventure to take part in. As a result, thousands of poems and sonnets have been written about love bonds that are either praised and happily blessed or love bonds that undergo struggle and pain to cling on to their forbidden love. Gwendolyn Brooks sonnet "A Lovely Love," explores the emotions and thoughts between two lovers who are striving for their natural human right to love while delicately revealing society 's crime in vilifying a couples right to love.

What is Love? Does anyone really know the meaning of the word? Does it have a different meaning to different people? In Kipnis’s essay “Love Labors”, Laura Kipnis touches on many different aspects of love. This is a touchy subject simply because love brings out many different opinions and beliefs. Kipnis argues over the fact that in order to have a good relationship and love someone people have to be able to meet certain requirements, which are mutuality, communication, and advanced intimacy.

With the rapid thoughts swirling in her head, the lady waiting for her telephone call constantly shifts her emotional mindset. “I wish he were dead. I wish he were dead, dead, dead. . .This is silly. It’s silly wishing people were dead just because they don’t call the very minute they said they would.” (3) This dramatic, yet natural, shift shows the essence of humanity inside of her. Emotions are snowflakes in a blizzard. There are so many, each so closely related to one another, that they become hard to distinguish. Vengeful moments, lonesome moments, treacherous moments- they all can be broken down to the simple emotions of pain, fear, sadness, and the constant struggle to keep it in balance with happiness. Going from an extreme of, “I wish he were dead,” to rationalizing oneself and saying “this is silly” shows how drastically fast the emotional process can change. As messy and incoherent as these feelings can be, love is the most intricate and tangled of all. The shifts that occur in love are so radical that they are often unnoticed by the person until they can step out of themselves and see it. As this conversation happened inside of her head, she did think of herself as crazy or unstable. Love was the glowing ember that illuminated the ashes of erratic behavior. Love is all emotions mixed together, which is why there is such a fine line between love and hate, and why the numerous sentiments one experiences throughout a day are in continuous

His subject, the one that embodies and is subjected to his theme of love, is loved by many and perhaps even all as she could be the personification of love itself. Her destructive and chaotic presence leaves traces on everyone’s lives yet they see through the bad qualities to find the true essence of what it means to love and be loved, cherishing the good despite the bad. Though her touch is careless and her actions are clumsy and hardly thought out, she means well and only wants those around her to be happy; this shows a balance in life and love that keeps people in an overall stable existence with each other. This is further supported with

Love, if it is healthy or not, is still one of the major feelings that make us excuse another person’s actions. That is because of the aching, longing, soul binding sum of experiences that keep us tethered to this other person. Robert Graves captures all of this nearly perfectly in this five-stanza poem. Symptoms of Love is exceedingly relatable for many, and it can be taken from many perspectives. Letting go of the illusion that we had control in the first place and seeing both sides of the road of love gives us a deeper appreciation for love.

In this passage, Jane breaks free from the bonds that hold her down and repress her, and for the first time the reader realizes Jane’s true personality and individuality (Anderson).

Tom’s dark eyes sparkled like Christmas trees. Although unable to use his hands, he was not about to let his disability prevent him from realizing his dream, and straddling Booker’s legs, he lowered his body so his forearms rested on the mattress on either side of the dark-haired officer’s head. He could feel Booker’s naked flesh quivering between his calves and his heart filled with a reverently tender love that was rarely expressed in life except by the poets and the dreamers. It was a once in a lifetime, blow your mind experience that few couples ever encountered during their years together. But Tom knew for them, the depth of emotion would never fade. They belonged together; Booker was the yin to his yang, the night to his day, the stars to his moon. When apart, they functioned just fine, but together, their souls entwined and they became a living, breathing, cohesive entity of intense love. Yes, they argued, but even their disagreements were bound by a fiery passion. Theirs was a partnership envied by many, and experienced by few. They were the lucky ones.

The story shows how love impacts a person’s behavior and what they begin to accept in these kinds of situations. Terri shares her experience with her mistreat ex-husband. Her ex-husband’s name was Carl he was a badly person with her. But no matter what he was doing Terri still believed Carl loved her because he said he did and other actions besides the mistreated from him to her, and that made her believe he did. She did not even reply to him saying, “I love you, don’t you see? I love you, bitch” (2) as he pulls her across the entire house. “People are totally

Elizabeth clasps her shaking fingers together as she stares unblinkingly at the picture hung up on the opposite wall. All she feels is a crippling, bone-breaking pain; yet at the same time, she is numb. A part of Elizabeth wants to break free of this icy ocean that surrounds her drowning form, but a stronger, louder part welcomes the numbing pain; for it is all she has left of John. It’s been well over a year since he has been gone and she still wakes up at three in the morning, nearly sobbing, with the bittersweet taste of a memory with John, her John, on her tongue. She loved him, she loves him, she will always love him; that will never change and she doesn’t want it to.

The science of love When do you know if you fancy someone? What does love do to your brain chemicals, and is falling in love just nature's way to keep our species alive?  We call it love. It feels like love. But the most exhilarating of all human emotions is probably nature’s beautiful way of keeping the human species alive and reproducing. With an irresistible cocktail of chemicals, our brain entices us to fall in love.

The first relationship that Carver introduces is Terri and Carl. In a conversation with friends, Terri describes her relationship with Carl as being unhealthy and abusive. Not only is he abusive with Terri, but also with himself by shortly committing suicide after they broke up. In this conversation, Terri defends Carl’s love for her despite his behavior towards her. For instance,“It was love,’ Terri said. ‘Sure it was abnormal in most people’s eyes, but he was willing to die for it. He did die for it’ (Carver, 4).” Although some individuals would not consider this to be love, Terri fought others to prove that Carl did indeed love her. The author shows the theme Nature of Love in Terri and Carl’s relationship by fighting for something that she believed was true about love. As a result, this defined Terri and Carl’s idea of how they show love to each other.

Perhaps the most beautiful thing about humans is that emotions and thought seem to go hand in hand. One either distances or comforts the other. When together, these two things can create a mirror into human nature, or shatter what people see in themselves for another. The stability of the heart is something precarious and not fully understood, but it is through works as “The Broken Heart” by John Donne that we can see this stability; understanding it and seeing it in ourselves for what it truly is. Works like Donne’s poem use varied imagery to put into words many of the feelings people experience when in Love; feelings often shunned or ignored because they baffle any who try and understand them. But his clear words, each giving a stage for Love’s form and character, clarify these sentiments; and in that way, the words convey Donne’s own attitude towards the nature of Love, and our nature to Love.
