Spenserian stanza

This verbal-visual collage tries to show the destruction and violence present in the poem in contrast with the gentle yet mysterious section of the poem. I saw the clear difference between the two since the first section of the poem mentions “armies with trumpets” as well as “Zeppelins, helicopters, rockets, and bombs”. I then contrasted this part of the poem with the more mysterious and soft side of the poem that was defined with quotes like “lost in the clouds” and “I am standing staring at the

Slide 1. The Portrait of Erasmus - This portrait is said to be “perhaps the most eloquent humanistic portrait in art history” - Erasmus is standing against a dark, abstract background in profile - In the background, the faint dark greenish/ greyish drape which shows this dull color scheme that is used and how simple this composition is - Erasmus is looking down into this piece of paper and he is actually writing commentaries on the Gospel of Mark (this is written in basel) - Erasmus’ head is slightly

Some of the themes that this poem shows are the omissions of introductions, conclusions, and continuity and the fragmentation of experience. The modernist ideals can be seen in the form and the theme of poem. The poem and the ideals reflect the general anxiety and confusion of the time. The excerpt from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," by T.S

The poem if I had my life to live over, revolves around life and living. The poem is being spoken directly to another person. An older individual offering an adolescent advice about life readily comes to mind. I central idea in the poem is to live life. The poet uses tone, imagery, and device to show the central idea. In the poem, the poet uses tone to make the main idea more clear to the reader. When the poet writes, they do it in the regretful way, that is shown by the choice of words used in the

Dark to Light This poetry anthology is a collection of poems, from many different poet’s viewpoints of dark to light. I chose dark to light as my topic. I chose this topic because I believe that many people find themselves in a dark place where is hard to come out from. However, there is always a light that helps people through the dark times in life. Dark can come from war and suffering from many different things. The light represents a life saver and a symbol of hope to keep pushing forward

A writer may use poetry as a way to release his or her emotions without directly stating how he or she may feel and why. Poets use elements of literature such as metaphors and symbolism to draw the attention of their readers to specific meanings that lie within the poem. For example, Sylvia Plath -a noted poet of the mid-20th century- grossly uses metaphors and symbolism to denote her own emotions. Metaphors grab attention by connecting two opposing components while symbolism is used to convey deeper

In our life, we already read more and more poems talk about “love”, it was common for everyone to know what about the love. When I first read Billy Collin’s “Aimless Love”, this poem was bringing something new to me. Within the poem, he used imagery and allusion, or just use the plainly words to described.

“When we’re not together, my soul feels hollow. My heart feels numb, my emotions become shallow. Like a rainbow without colors, like poetry without rhyme… being away from you are my life’s darkest times. I miss you.”-Anonymous. This quote is telling us how they feel about someone they miss and it could also be used to describe how the wife feels in “The Wife’s Lament”. “The Wife’s Lament”tells about a sad ,lonely, wife that is missing her husband. In the story you can tell she is sad because of

Near the end of the nineteenth century, many poets had established their own set of characteristics. Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson are definitely no exception, though they incorporated some unique elements. These poets possessed similar attributes, though they were very different in methodology. Dickinson and Whitman both went against conventional poetry guidelines. One main aspect that differentiates them from other poets is the lack of rhyme. Both poets often refrained from any sort of rhyme

some language features to appeal to my imagination such as personification to emphasise the idea of humankind in conflict with nature. In the first stanza, Owen mentions "our brains ache in the merciless iced east winds that knife us" this suggests how painful war is from the exposure to the extreme cold. Owen uses the word "merciless" to suggest
