A Valediction Of Forbidding Mourning: The Truth About Mourning
Number of words: 860 - Number of pages: 4.... while in a love relationship of trying to convey a message to a loved one and they in turn have misinterpreted that message?"
The poem begins "As virtuous men pass mildly away, And whispering their souls to go." Here the persona is trying to convey to his lover that she should deal with his leaving as though it is a death. Not a death in which she should be sad, but of a death of a man that was a very good human being who will go peacefully and calmly to heaven. Also, that she has nothing to fear because in actuality he is not dying but just going away and for her to remember that they are v .....

Compare And Contrasting Two Robert Frost Poems Of Spiritual Views
Number of words: 919 - Number of pages: 4.... him as a creature of God.
Robert Frost and Wilbur Richard rely on good word choice to exemplify their common theme. Frost's "Take Something Like a Star" sticks with the word star to represent God. All of the adjectives that Frost uses to describe the star also go hand in hand with God. In the Poem "Love Calls Us to the Things of This World", Wilbur uses laundry on a clothesline to characterize the human spirit. Wilbur uses more nouns to describe the spiritual soul than Frost's usage of adjectives. Both Frost and Wilbur stress, however, theses everyday objects pronounce the power of G .....

E.E. Cummings
Number of words: 1403 - Number of pages: 6.... two ones; 'one' on the 7th line spells the number out; the 8th line, 'l', isolates the number; and 'iness', the last line, can mean "the state of being I" - that is, individuality - or "oneness", deriving the "one" from the lowercase roman numeral 'i' (200). Cummings could have simplified this poem drastically ("a leaf falls:/loneliness"), and still conveyed the same verbal message, but he has altered the normal syntax in order that each line should show a 'one' and highlight the theme of oneness. In fact, the whole poem is shaped like a '1' (200). The shape of the poem can also be se .....

"Gunpowder Plot" By Vernon Scannell
Number of words: 582 - Number of pages: 3.... people
dying. Later in the poem we learn that the man's brother had dies in the
war as the line reads : "I hear a corpse's sons -- 'Who's scared of
bangers!' 'Uncle, John's afraid!'
In the story the author uses a lot of comparisons, the first one we
come across is between fireworks and "Curious cardboard buds" where he
describes them as flowers that have yet to blossom and show their beauty.
Again later in the same verse he describes the fireworks as orchids, a
very beautiful flower that is very expensive, has a short life and it
used on special occasions, the same descri .....

Differences In "Ode On Grecian Urn" And "Sailing To Byzantium"
Number of words: 528 - Number of pages: 2.... This makes you think of
spring and vegetation and animals and life. Yates uses vivified examples such as
"An Aged Man is but a patty thing, a tattered coat upon a stick." (9,10) Yates
is describing a scarecrow or what you might call death. He also talks about a
maniacal bird in lines thirty and thirty-one. This is something that isn't dying
and will go on forever. These two images life and death help insure the
complexity of these poems.
The images of life and death is also repesented in Keats "Ode on a Grecian
Urn." "What leap-fringd Latin haults about they shap of deities or mortials .....

John Donne And The Psychology Of Death
Number of words: 1572 - Number of pages: 6.... there is the memorable poem beginning “Death be not proud” and he was also the author of two notable poems commemorating the death of Elizabeth Drury, the daughter of his friend and patron. . . . Generally regarded as the foremost of the metaphysical poets, Donne was always an uneven writer. His secular poems were original, energetic, and highly rhetorical, full of passionate thought and intellectual juggling. . . . His adroitness in argument and his skill at impersonating different states of mind make Donne’s poetry intense and often riddling (Ousby, 266).
Holy Sonnet #10 is certainly .....

Poetry: The Sky Is Filled With Laughter
Number of words: 118 - Number of pages: 1.... sun was hidden for many days
But once again the sky turned blue
And all the little children came out
To play, with the sky so blue
With its pretty picture of laughter
Haiku
I went on a walk
And saw all that I can see
From flowers to trees
The grass was bright green
And the flowers were b .....

Poem: My Heart Aches
Number of words: 368 - Number of pages: 2.... but to think is to be full of sorrow
And leaden-eyed despairs,
Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes
Or new Love pine at them beyond tomorrow.
Away! Away! for I will fly to thee,
Not charioted by Becchus and his pards,
But on the viewless wings of poesy,
Though the dull brain perplexes and retards:
Already with thee! tender is the night,
And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne,
Clustered around by all her starry Fays;
But here there is no light,
Save what from heaven is with the breezes blown
Through verdurous glooms and winding mossy ways.
I cannot see what flowers are at my feet, .....

The Lost Trees
Number of words: 485 - Number of pages: 2.... and nature
and the nature of how mankind conducts itself can have long-range effects
on the course of nature. For example, we now know how the destruction of
the rain forest in South America is affecting the percentage of oxygen
available around the globe. Man's wholesale destruction of these areas for
financial gain, despite the negative results, is a study of the nature of
man's inhumanity to man. Do we not all breathe, even those who fell the
trees?
Man is not completely in control, however. Nature's ability to
wreak havoc on the environment of all living things in the form of
eart .....
