.... (line 4). The image of him standing alone on the barren snowy landscape with weeds as his only companions, creates a lasting picture in the mind of the reader, of a man just beginning to reveal his inner “darkness”. As the second stanza begins, the speaker has reached the borderline of the quickly darkening woods, and it seems as though he has paused in his walking, as if to stop and ponder his own vacancy and loneliness. In lines five and six, Frost alludes to what may be the cause of the speaker’s inner vacancy: “The woods around it have it – it is theirs/All animals are smoth .....

.... the poem indicates to the reader that Whitman is staunchly enthusiastic towards the first battle: The tumultuous escort, the ranks of policemen preceding, clearing the way, The unpent enthusiasm, the wild cheers of the crowd for their favorites…War! Be it weeks, months, or years, an arm'd race is advancing to welcome it. As we can see, like most Americans, Whitman was proud of the engagements to come because at the time, war was only viewed by those who had never seen the ugly side of it. Like a diary of prose, "Drum Taps" follows the war and the attitudes that accompany such an e .....

.... breath. In the turmoil of all this. His true affection for Ophelia found no bliss. He could never share his thoughts, Revenge made him overwrought. All this pain caused him to plot, He made the plan to end his lot. But this scheme avenging death, Took also Hamlet’s last breath. Hamlet should have taken heed, And become king indeed. He never had a chance in Shakespheare’s plan, A tragic hero, just another great dead man. .....

.... of “swell the ground,” but any excess is checked neatly by the astonishing “plump” appearing as a verb and wonderfully solid and nutty to touch (line 7). The last three lines in the first stanza move heavily and lazily to that most summary of the sounds; the distant buzzing of bees, “later flowers for the bees” (line 9). The low sibilants and thrice repeated the sound of “mm” of the last line bring hearing activity into play, along with the sight, taste and touch are mobilized by the stanza, so that all senses are united in the act of vigorous response. The rhythm mounts slow .....

.... this idea is, again, empty rhetoric. A variation on this interpretation is that the speaker wants not only sex, but also to develop the spiritual aspects of their relationship--the two go together. In this view, his high-flown speech (especially in the first section) expresses the extremeness of his commitment to her. From this perspective, the speaker's final proposal about the lovers' taking control of their own fate (taking that control away from time) could be meant sincerely. Throughout the class discussions, it became clear that this poem offers a particular view of gender relations .....

.... describes the summer month "that brings the Rose" taking "Jamshyd and Kaikobad away", and so forth and so on ad nauseum. Again, in the fifty-third stanza: "You gaze To-Day, while You are You-how then/ Tomorrow, You when shall be You no more?" The poet seems to be in an incredible hurry to get this life going before some cosmic deadline comes due, and more than willing to encourage any of the laiety he encounters in the course of the poem to do the same. Another recurring motif throughout the poem is the time- honored act of downing a few drinks. It appears that either "Wine", the "Cu .....

.... the poet, yet the father is unable to show this love, he feels the obligation to be the emotional rock of the family, his role as the father. Harrison’s father had great love for him, however Harrison resented the way that he put him down, however the father was proud of the son but had no way of conveying this emotion. In later life Harrison did not think of his father as an illiterate wreck, who had no chance of glory. The father could not keep the same social ground as the son and this was what divided them, he could understand the beauty of literature. The fathers emotions on the lose .....

.... evident when he talks of the "wintry bed" (6) and "The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low/ Each like a corpse within its grave, until/ Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow" (7- 9). In the first line, Shelley use the phrase "winged seeds" which presents images of flying and freedom. The only problem is that they lay "cold and low" or unnourished or not elevated. He likens this with a feeling of being trapped. The important word is "seeds" for it shows that even in death, new life will grow out of the "grave." The phrase "winged seeds" also brings images of religions, ang .....

.... Love should be attained by use of the heart. This theory is the premise of Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love." The Shepherd in his poem offers the world to his Love and everything with it. He is an old man and hopes to win the girl's heart. Notice the word ‘hopes.' If these delights thy mind may move, Then live with me and be my love. And so the last two lines of the poem end. Putting these lines at the very end of the poem emphasizes the unsure gestures of the Shepherd. His age also brings up another very interest .....

.... is a combination of mystery, terror, and of wrath. The contrast of the Lamb and the Tyger also resembles the idea of when a beautiful thing like love can turn into an ugly thing like hate. The Tyger is obviously a representation of evil and of darkness. In Blake’s words, it is also apparent that the Tyger is somewhat of a puzzle, or an enigma, if you will. It is a mysterious beast with unknown origins. It seems that the Tyger is a result of something inhumane, whereas the Lamb is a direct product of Christ. According to the poet himself, the Tyger is somewhat “immortal” and out .....
