Frost was a poet who sought to master his art. His poems he wrote were deceptively simple in appearance but saturated with meaning. In this particular poem Frost paints a simple picture that appears to be quite l

Granted Granted I have been granted a life. A life guaranteed to be fulfilled with love, praise and perpetual freedom. Life has its faults, altercations and unfairness, But learning from the pain, the misery and the dereliction; It gives us strength to forestall from future problems that may surpass us during our frantic frenzy of an illusion. Fretful we may become, waiting on

Gawain Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is filled with magic and symbolism. Morgan le Faye and Merlin are responsible for the magic of the Green Knight. There are three literal hunts (deer, boar, and fox), three symbolic hunts (the attempts to seduce Gawain), and three hits of the Green Knight's ax. The deer is timid, the boar is ferocious, and the fox is cunning and sly. The character

Poetry GOOD AND EVIL The conflict between good and evil is the poem's most important theme. The poet makes it clear, however, that good and evil don't exist as mutually exclusive opposites, but that both qualities are present in everyone. Beowulf represents the potential to do good- to perform acts selflessly and in the service of others- while Grendel, Grendel's mother, and the drag

Of Miles Davis Of Miles Davis By Willam Ford The poem is talking about the jazz great Miles Davis. In stanza one it says “The pop out eyes belonging to Baldwin but are sadder meaner , more direct In their accusations against us” In my opinion it is talking about a person who is holding in a lot of hurt and problems, and he is hiding his problems from the people who enjoys him.

Poetry of Carlos Williams The poetry of Carlos Williams is some of the most intriguing yet odd works of literature that I have ever encountered. Untraditional in nature, Williams awed me with his unique style and at the same time, left me shaking my head with a smile at some of his pieces. In the video we viewed in class, Williams said that he stressed simplicity and wrote his poetry wit

Good Mouse As stories are told, the words we remember them by move like cards of a card table. We cannot tell the same story twice as it is told in its purity. We can only reveal what has already been told and to us is already known within our souls. The knowledge which is remembered is beset into the air like sunshine on a sunny day, it is like the salt in the sea, and the love in ou

Incident The poem “Incident,” by Countee Cullen, is one that could be described as a piece of Lyric Poetry. This is because it is a short poem that focuses in on the emotion of the poem, not the speaker or the event as much. Cullen shows how the happy feelings at the beginning of the poem change drastically to the hateful feelings at the end of the poem. After reading this poem, I fou

Illiad Homer’s epic, the Iliad, cam be depicted as a horrible, bloody war or a celebration of heroism brought about by the great soldiers of the Achaeans and Trojans. Many people die in vain because of arrogant and emotional decisions made by men. The war also brings out the heroic qualities of the men fighting against each other. The Iliad is one of the greatest Greek writings of all

Impression As A Facade AN IMPRESSION AS A FAÇADE In the poem “Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson, the tragic irony of Richard Cory’s life which was sought after with empty desire by everyone is revealed when he takes his own life and quickly becomes nothing for everyone to see. This poem leaves much to the imagination as it also leaves much room for interpretation. This poem s

Journey of the Magi Journey to Christianity “Journey of the Magi” can be read and perceived on many different levels. The imagery, while when first read is easy to understand, may be researched to find deeper meaning. Since the poem was written in the year of Eliot’s own conversion to Christianity, the quest of the Magi for the Christ child can be seen as a parallel to Eliot’s ow

Khalil Gibran Kahlil Gibran was a poet, philosopher, and artist. He was born in Lebanon, a land that has produced many prophets.

James Joyce Each of us have our own way in dealing with the problems in our lives. Most of the time these problems set off our emotions. We tend to feel envious towards others. Each one of us handle the situations differently. But sometimes, the solutions aren't always the answer to those problems. James Joyce shows these problems. The way he shows us this is by showing how people in sit

John Donne And Metaphors The use of metaphors can greatly influence the effectiveness of an author’s message, when used correctly. John Donne turns this tool into an art form in his poetry as he weaves absurd relationships between two or more seemingly unrelated ideas. Not only does this make his poems much more entertaining but it also helps to express his ideas in a very vivid manner

John Keats-Ode To A Nightingale/Ode On A Grecian Urn John Keats expresses his feelings on many matters of the complex world in which he lived in two of his poems, “Ode to a Nightingale” and “Ode on a Grecian Urn”. Since the two have many similarities, as well as differences, coupling them can result in some overall conclusions. Within these two odes, Keats suggests that life in his time

Loves Of Youth In life we meet many people who touch our lives. Some of the people we meet pass in our memory as a leaf blowing across a field. Yet there are others who linger in our minds forever. In Edna St. Vincent Millay’s poem “What Lips My Lips Have Kissed and Where, and Why” there is an expression of sorrow for the loss of memory of those loves. In the beginning of “What Lips M

Knightly View In Geoffrey Chaucer’s medieval poem, The Canterbury Tales, the knight is the first pilgrim described in the General Prologue and the first to proclaim his tale. The Knight’s Tale exquisitely contains enriching language, beautiful imagery, and a “wealth of description of characterization (Fowler14).” Chaucer’s opinion of the knight is positively supported by the outstandingl

La Belle Dame Sans Merci “La Belle Dame sans Merci” “La Belle Dame sans Merci” wrote by Johns Keats means “the beautiful woman without mercy”. It’s the title of an old French court poem by Alian Chartier. I like this poem because Keats seems to be telling us about something that may have happened, or may happen someday to us. “You discover something that you think you really like

Lady Chapernell Lady Chudleigh’s 16th century poem To the Ladies, instructs a woman to reflect long and hard on the word “Obey” when vowing her heart, hand and life in marriage. She indicates that a woman will lose not only her autonomy, but must also forgo all rights to her own ideas, personality, and her sense of humor. In line 1, the speaker declares that the status of a wife and se

Lady Lazarus “Lady Lazarus” by Sylvia Plath is a well written autobiography of her life. She cleverly uses words to describe her innermost thoughts and revelations of how she perceives her life. In Protean Poetic, Broe states that Plath spoke of her later poems, “ I speak them to my self….and what ever lucidity they may have come from, the fact that I say them to myself, I say them
