Maxine Kumin And Her Poetry
Number of words: 484 - Number of pages: 2.... uses
plants to describe her feelings, as in; “scatter like milkweed” and “pods of the
soul”. These similes show what she sees and feels.
“The Longing to be Saved”, is a dream, where her barn catches fire. “In
and out of dreams as thin as acetate.” She visualizes herself getting the
horses out, but they “wrench free, wheel, dash back”.
In, “Family Reunion”, she writes that “nothing is cost efficient here”.
Vegetables are grown on the farm, and animals are raised to be killed. “The
electric fence ticks like the slow heart of something we fed and bedded for .....

Blake's "The Fly"
Number of words: 946 - Number of pages: 4.... "For I dance And drink and sing, Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing." Man is just as vulnerable as a fly, being a man can
be killed at any time in his life just like a fly can be killed any time in
his life. Also, "The Hand of God" can strike down a man the same a fly is
struck down by the hand of man. This view by Blake is quite depressing.
One can be carefree about their life, yet thinking is the most
essential part of man. "If thought is life And strength and breath, And
the want Of thought is death;" By having thought shows that we have life.
Blake is saying that we must .....

Merry-Go-Round: Critical Analysis
Number of words: 646 - Number of pages: 3.... three stanzas show the emphasised view of the cynical adult who is simply observing the children from a detached outside viewpoint. For example, "almost I see the marvel they see" is informing the reader that he is "almost" caught up in the enchantment as the children are.
McAvley's clever use of diction and imagery add to the enchantment of the merry-go-round as the children see it as a magical fantasy world. It is continually likened to another world. For example, the first stanza deals with the excitement and attraction of the merry-go-round with adjectives such as "bright-coloured" and .....

"Ode On A Grecian Urn"
Number of words: 725 - Number of pages: 3.... time and its events that we can even begin to understand the scenes it presents in their relation to our own experience. "The Sylvan historian, describes the panels on the urn that present ancient woodland scenes, they probably tell the history of a past way of life.
In the second and third stanzas Keats is talking about the music that is playing to the spirits, because he says "it's sweeter unheard." Also, that is must be young and very rich in love, because its love will never stop pursuit and will never fade away or leave. He is probably describing a love relationship between a man .....

Marking Time Versus Enduring In Gwendolyn Brook's "The Bean Eater's"
Number of words: 517 - Number of pages: 2.... for readers.
The isolated routine of the couple's life is something Brooks draws attention to with a separate stanza:
Two who are Mostly Good.
Two who have lived their day,
But keep on putting on their clothes
And putting things away. (5-8)
Brooks emphasizes how isolated the couple is by repeating "Two who." Then she emphasizes how routine their life is by reating"putting."
A pessimistic reading of this poem seems justified. The critic Harry B. Shaw reads the lines just quoted as perhaps desparing: "they are putting things awau as if winding down an operation and readying fo .....

Elements Of Romanticism In Wordsworth's "London, 1802" And Blake's "The Lamb"
Number of words: 1063 - Number of pages: 4.... to London, when I could not but be struck...with
the vanity and parade of our own country
From this account it can be deduced that the poem was spontaneous
in nature and originated from an internal response. The poem's use of a
realistic setting occurs in line 2 with the reference of England as a
"fen." This particular adjective e describes England as a "land wholly or
partially covered by water, mud, clay, or dirt."(Oxford English Dictionary).
From this line a realistic setting is produced. The narrator further
conveys a visionary experience through the extensive uses .....

Romantic Sonnet
Number of words: 1036 - Number of pages: 4.... of the speaker's state of mind. Included in
this traditional natural setting is the use of the sea as stormy, deep,
extensive, and dark which ties the speaker in with the setting as the scene
applies to the tone of the poem as well. Also characteristic of the Romantic
sonnet is the retreat from the neo-classical age and its significant historical
references into a new age where it becomes common to speak of "nothing." In
William Wordsworth's "Composed Upon Westminster Bridge," there is no deeper
meaning to be grasped other than the beauty of the day's dawning. The speaker's
vie .....

History In Langston Hughes's "Negro"
Number of words: 974 - Number of pages: 4.... and last stanza to conclude his poem. To thoroughly understand the
point that Hughes is making, one must take an enhanced inspection at
certain elements that Hughes uses throughout the poem.
In "Negro", Hughes gives the reader a compact visual exposé of the
historical life of blacks. He does not tell the reader in detail about
what has happened to blacks; therefore, Hughes allows these actual accounts
to marinate in the mind of the reader. Instead of saying that he[Hughes]
is a black man living in America, he simply says that "I am a Negro" (1 and
17). He does not create a myster .....

Song Of Myself: Divinity, Sexuality And The Self
Number of words: 1236 - Number of pages: 5.... in their strongly pleasurable sensualities. The thoroughly intimate encounter with another individual in section five particularly expresses Whitman as a being of desire and libido.
Whitman begins his synthesis of the soul and body through sexuality by establishing a relative equality between the two. He pronounces in previous stanzas, "You shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself," and, "Not an inch nor a particle of an inch is vile, and none shall be less familiar than the rest." Here, he lays foundation for the basic egalitarianism with which he treats all aspects of h .....
