When birds fly, or “lose the run”; they slip out of the physical world and into an unknown realm. The speaker recognizes that there is something strange that occurs when something is no longer grounded, when “tern prints on snow…almost lead somewhere, but then break off and stutter” (Groarke, 56, lines 18-20). The birds that were on the earth have left without a trace; they are the only beings that are capable of breaking free from the barrier that the sky has created. Flight, therefore, directly suggests “a refusal to connect to the world…and suggest new aesthetic departures” (Collins, 214). In this way, it seems as though Groarke has been able to answer the question she poses in ‘Quill’ in the affirmative: the feather and blood of a bird, or birds in general, possess mystical power that no other being

Consequently, these grim images turn the vision of Victorian bird imagery upside down, and reveal that Jane is not a traditional Victorian woman, and these bird images depict the affinity Jane has with birds, and the conviction to be free once she finds the strength and bravery she needs to take flight on her own. Furthermore, throughout the story, Jane experiences ‘a rushing of wings’ (17) this ephemeral visitation recurs throughout the novel, which signifies the start of a major change in Jane’s

Keats was a key figure in the Romantic era in the first part of the 17th century which, according to René Wellek 's classic definition, sought to substitute 'imagination for the view of poetry, nature for the view of the world, and symbol and myth for poetic style. ' Therefore, Keats ' 'Ode to a Nightingale ', written in 1819, has an affiliation with the natural world, through both the metaphors he uses and his meter and rhyme. The fact that the poem is an Ode to a nightingale shows that Keats is addressing the bird in particular and therefore it asserts the link that is found in Romanticism between humans and the natural world. M. H. Abrams states that Keats wrote this poem, whilst reminiscent of a Horation Ode, as what came to be known as a Romantic Meditative Ode which is 'the personal ode of description and passionate meditation '. It is clear here that what Keats is passionate about in this poem is 'the country-green '. Keats coined the term negative capability to describe 'passionate mediation ' in a letter to

I am getting an image of you fishing and you are getting so bothered as if you have been there forever but not a single fish has taken a nibble on your bait. And you just get so impatient that you started throwing rocks at your bobber. And I feel as if that just symbolizes your walk with God. You sit there and listen but you never sit there long enough, as if you stop listening right when he is about to tell you the best information you could hear. And I just feel like you have realized this and you don’t know how to fix this,” Dylan says as my heart shatters. The man whom I have managed to not talk to at all has just said the most influential thing I have ever heard in my life. He just summed up my entire walk with Christ in one metaphor about something that I don’t even do. It was to hard for me to listen to the rest of the people talking through my tears and sniffles because of the mystery man that had made me feel like God is actually listening and I don’t have to walk around just thinking but not

There are many different themes that can be used to make a poem both successful and memorable. Such is that of the universal theme of love. This theme can be developed throughout a poem through an authors use of form and content. “She Walks in Beauty,” by George Gordon, Lord Byron, is a poem that contains an intriguing form with captivating content. Lord Byron, a nineteenth-century poet, writes this poem through the use of similes and metaphors to describe a beautiful woman. His patterns and rhyme scheme enthrall the reader into the poem. Another poem with the theme of love is John Keats' “La Belle Dame sans Merci,” meaning “the beautiful lady without mercy.” Keats, another nineteenth-century writer, uses progression and compelling

The Romanticism art movement praised imagination over reason, emotions over logic, and literature over science. The Romanticism artists were known for replacing the classical 18th century literature heroes with much more complex and passionate characters. Romanticism focuses on self-expression and individual uniqueness that does not lend itself to be defined nor controlled by society. The landscape on Romanticism was commonly displayed in cool rich colors and untamed peaceful surroundings. In Romanticism, nature was used to represent the extension of the human personality, the capability of feeling love, serenity, and sympathy.

The Romantic era began in 1770, with its peak being from 1800 to 1850. With emphasis on the imagination and emotion, Romanticism emerged as a result of the Enlightenment period, which heavily placed values upon reason and order. Thus, Romanticism depends heavily on “the practical accomplishments of the prior un-Romantic era— a relationship between material wealth and scientific knowledge on one hand, and personal, spiritual, or emotional transcendence on the other, that twenty-first century Americans continue to manage.” The simplest explanation for what is Romantic is “‘anything but the here and now’ or whatever is not realistic” (“Romanticism”).

“Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget What thou among the leaves hast never known, The weariness, the fever, and the fret.” (Keats) In “Ode to A Nightingale,” John Keats is the narrator who is in a state of drowsiness and numbness when he sees a nightingale and then goes on to explain his encounter with the bird. Although the surface level meaning of the poem is a man expressing his thought to and about a bird, there is a deeper meaning that can be seen when you investigate the literary devices used. Keats uses imagery, tone, and symbolism to display the theme of pain and inner conflict between life and death.
