... can never be entirely fulfilled. In the next line it is the "foster-child of silence and slow time," the urn exists in time because it is only throughout 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 a ...
... the [ice] stir cracks and crazes their enamel." He also compares this image to that of breaking glass and compares it to the "dome of heaven" shattering. I enjoy how he offers such different interpretations for the appearance of the bark. My personal favorite is the shattering of the dome in heaven. I think this creates a vivid image for the reader. He goes on to say that once the branches are bent, they never return completely upright again, but they are so flexible that they never break. “You may see their trunks arching in the woods/ Years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground." These are some of the natural phenomenon’s that Frost mentions to expla ...
... and simple form. All I have to offer you is me and my love, Though both are simple I promise they are true. Even as I write this, I think of how to describe to you. Something I hardly understand, But I must tell you how I feel. So I close my eyes, And let my heart guide my hand. Perhaps the tears that falls from my eyes, Will show you my love and how much it means to me. To me our love is everything. I believe love will find it's way and show us the answers To the questions being revealed, I promise you that I will always love you And I never mea ...
... humans. The poet feels the persecution and pain and fear of the Jews who stood there in this place of horror. Yevtushenko makes himself an Israelite slave of Egypt and a martyr who died for the sake of his religion. In lines 7-8, he claims that he still bars the marks of the persecution of the past. There is still terrible persecution of the Jews in present times because of their religion. These lines serve as the transition from the Biblical and ancient examples he gives to the allusions of more recent acts of hatred. The lines also allude to the fact that these Russian Jews who were murdered at Babi Yar were martyrs as well. The next stanza reminds us of anothe ...
... he attacks. Beowulf and Grendel fight and the monster's arm is ripped off causing a slow and painful death.Even though Beowolf didn't do this heroic and noble act for the reward ing Hrothgar gave him a sword and eight horses with golden cheek plates. The second act of Beowolf's conflict with grendel showing his nobility is not with Gredel himself but with Grendels mother. After Grendel was killed his mother was very angry and killed a knight in king Hrothgar's court the same way her son had. King Hrothgar was very disturbed by this and didn't know what to do. He called for Beowolf and told him of a dangerous swamp where Grendel and his mother lived. The king also ...
... the tiger, the phoenix-bird. Time is indiscriminate in its devouring. In the second quatrain, the lover grants to Time its own will: "And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time," acknowLedging priorly that in its fleet passage Time does "Make glad and sorry seasons. n For the first time one sees Time in other than a destructive capacity--in its cycLical change of seasons, some Time does "make glad" with blooming sweets. So the lover changes his epithet from devouring to swift-footed, certainly more neutral in tone. For now the lover makes his most assertive command: "But I forbid thee one most heinous crime. n The final quatrain finds the lover ordering Time to ...

... The man in the poem was in a war and being around the antics on a Guy Falkes night bring back evil, unpleasant memories of war with 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 expe ...
... to lose some-thing”(Angelou 12). Moreover,this poem is directed towards a female; whom Angelou wanted to make clear to her to avoid touching her “lover-boy”(Angelou 12).Furthermore, when she states, “I hate to lose something…….even a dime, I wish I was dead”(Angelou 12), we gather that something as small and worthless as a dime would make Angelou wish that she was dead. This remark signifies that the trauma in her life just bought thoughts of suicide. According to Compton’s Interactive Encyclopedia most suicides oc-cur when the bonds between an individual and society are broken. She also explains how she lost a “doll once and cried for a week ...
... would be very convenient for him to watch the snow as he continues traveling, however he finds it necessary to stop his wagon. This shows that the speaker is willing to pause his life in order to entirely absorb the tranquillity of the snow falling in the woods. The appreciative tone appropriately expresses his purpose for stopping. He wants to truly appreciate this moment. “The darkest evening of the year” (8) “The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake” (11) “The woods are lovely, dark and deep” (14) Most people would find woods that are quiet, dark and deep to be frightening. The positive appreciative attitude of this poem m ...
