.... line curves with the lushness 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 re .....

.... about old becoming young and birds and trees. 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." "Wha .....

.... The same object, the orange, was the coolness of the night yet was the warmth of the persona’s life. On the other hand, in This is Just to Say, the plums were eaten already by the persona. It was not offered to the persona during that time. It was not supposed to be eaten at that instant. The sexual relation in this poem was not obviously stated. It would seem that the poem was just stating a situation in which the persona ate cold, delicious plums placed in an icebox that were not supposed to be eaten because it was probably for breakfast. There was no warmth mentioned .....

.... and, thinking more abstractly, the author, Robert Browning in this case, represents the case as a whole. The decision the jury must make between what is actually right and what the lawyers imply to be right is the same one the reader of a dramatic monologue must make. Browning's Dramatic Lyrics is a collection of poems in which many are written in dramatic monologue. "Porphyria's Lover" is a poem from Dramatic Lyrics critics often cite when explaining dramatic monologue. Because of it, the reader is pulled between what the speaker thinks is right and what really is. Robert .....

.... he would not have had to consider at such and early age. Fortunato was a wealthy man who was admired in his community. I feel that is how Poe relates Forutnato to his step- father. Martha Womack quotes from Kenneth Silverman's book Edgar A. Poe: A Never-Ending Remembrance. "Allan much resembled Fortunato being a rich man, respected, admired, beloved, interested in the wines, and a member of the Masons." Womack goes on to quote from Silverman's book "Even the Allan name can be seen as an anagram in Amontillado." In the second paragraph of the story I feel this is .....

.... bird is on the Wing." The entire ninth stanza 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 .....

.... he was ordained, 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) .....

.... while the Trojan's are conspicuously quiet, sans Hector of course. It could almost be assumed that throughout time most of the knowledge of the battle from the Trojan side had been lost. Considering the ability to affect feelings with similes, and the one-sided view of history, Homer could be using similes to guide the reader in the direction of his personal views, as happens with modern day political "spin". These views that Homer might be trying to get across might be trying to favor Troy. It could easily be imagined that throughout time, only great things .....
