So she looked all around,
And no one she found,
Who had as much money as I.

Whitman's Live Oak, With Moss
.... for comfort. The
significance of the description is overwhelming. Whitman see's himself as a
rude, closed-minded, and lusty person, who spends a considerable amount of
time alone. However, Whitman views himself as a different person when he is
in the company of his companion. With the live Oak representing Whitman,
and the tender green Moss representing Whitman's companion, these two
separate entities form one. Happy, loving, and open-minded, the love
emanating from Whitman is a sign of true life.
As the .....

Blake's "London": An Analysis
.... by the environment, by other bodies, by health, or any
number of other restraints. The heart, which is to say the emotions , are
pulled this way and that by the influence of others. Even the soul,
according to predestinists, is limited by the supply or lack of divine
grace. Not so the mind; it is the only part of the individual which may
truly be said to be free.
Weakness is also illustrated in the repetitions in the first and second
stanza:
" I wander through each chartered street,

Philip Larkin's "Sad Steps" And Sir Philip Sidney Of Sonnet 31 From Astrophel And Stella: The Moon
.... the moon is omniscient. He further believes that
the moon “can judge of love”, and can solve his love troubles, as a “
lozenge of love” (Sad Steps, line 11) would. Sir Philip Sidney's attitude
toward the moon is quite serious, which is also the tone of the essay. He
takes the moon very seriously, as if it were divine. He adds character to
the moon, as if it were a person. He describes the moon's “love acquainted
eyes” (line 5) and remarks how “wan a face” (line 2) it has. This imagery
makes the moo .....

"My Papa's Waltz" By Theodor Roethke
.... - efef, and in the fourth - ghgh. The meter is trecet
iamb ( stressed unstressed - three times per line ).
The central image in the poem is the metaphor in which the beatings
are described as a waltz. The poet is led around the house, dancing - not
beaten around. Which is also brought throu by the meter - trecet iamb - the
beat of the waltz, thus the main image is shown through the meter as well,
giving the reader more of the feeling of a dance in contrast to the
'secondery images' which are more a .....

Poetry: Not Me
.... he had nothing to do.
He had all of the time in the world.
"Why not study?" said his mom, cooking the stew.
He thought of that during supper and hurled.
His mother soon tired of the grades he brought home.
She made him study each day after school.
He was grounded from TV, and from the phone.
He was shut in his room and force-fed gruel.
His grades slowly improved, thanks to his mom.
Although he didn't thank her at the time.

Crossing Brooklyn Ferry: One And The Same
.... apprehension that the distinguishing characteristics are few.
Whitman informs the audience that he has lead the same life as they, who
lead the same life as their children will and their ancestors did. The
poet questions the significance of a person's achievements by asking, "My
great thoughts as I supposed them, were they not in reality meagre [sic]?"
It would be hard for any person to measure their self-accomplishments on
the planetary scale which Whitman is speaking of. The second verse of the
poem in .....

Ozymandias (1818): An Analysis
.... record of himself for future generations, he wanted his memory exalted
above that of others, and even above the "Mighty" who would live after him.
He did not want to give up at death the power he had wielded in life.
The irony in this poem lies in the difference between what Ozymandias
intends -- to hold onto the glory of his works after time takes its course
with him -- and what actually happens. This great monument's "frown, / And
wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command" and the inscription on the .....

[9]But Clara was not satisfied. [10]Something great was there, she
knew; something great enveloped her. [11]But it did not keep her. [12]In
the morning it was not the same. [13]They had known, but she could not
keep the moment. [14]She wanted it again; she wanted something permanent.
[15]She had not realized fully. [16]She thought it was he whom she wanted.
[17]He was not safe to her. [18]This that had been between them might
never be again; he might leave her. [19]She had not .....

Compare And Contrast: "Strange Fruit" And "Telephone Conservation": Theme Of Racial Prejudice
.... The title suggests that the fruit is the unnatural black body
hanging from the tree which hangs like a fruit. This image makes it a
metaphor to give the whole poem an effect.
The authors intention is to make people understand exactly what is
going on. He also tries to make us feel guilty as we are the murderers
because we are white.
The poem 'Telephone conversation' is staged by a black man who is
looking for a flat but ends up phoning to a landlady who is racist but
tries to be polite i .....

Rich's "Living In Sin": An Analysis
.... the role of
housekeeper. With the absence of her lover, the woman takes sole
responsibility for maintaining a pleasant household; she alone makes the
bed, dusts the tabletop, and sets the coffee on the stove. The portrait of
her miserable life contrasts sharply with that of her lover. While she
struggles with the endless monotony of house chores, he loafs around,
carefree and relaxed. During her monotonous morning routine, the man
flippantly goes "out for cigarettes." Although he too notices the
pro .....

Robert Frost's Use Of Nature In His Poetry
.... there / Had worn them really
about the same" (line 9-10). It seems as if he is expressing an "inability
to turn his back completely on any possibility" (Barry 13) of returning
when the poems reads "Oh, I kept the first for another day!" (line 13). He
also knew that the possibilities of him actually returning to ever walk the
path not chosen were very slim. He made a decision and "took the other"
(line 6) path. It is obvious that these two roads in the woods symbolize
paths in life and choices tha .....

Romanticism, Poe, And "The Raven"
.... wrote of “The Raven”, “the
poet intends to represent a very painful condition of the mind, as of an
imagination that was liable to topple over into some delirium or an abyss
of melancholy, from the continuity of one unvaried emotion.” Edgar Allen
Poe, author of “The Raven,” played on the reader's emotions. The man in “
The Raven” was attempting to find comfort from the remembrance of his lost
love. By turning his mind to Lenore and recalling how her frame will never
again bless the chair in which he n .....

Samuel Coleridge's "Frost At Midnight"
.... they stirred and haunted me with a wild
pleasure…" But as this paragraph progresses, he begins to show the
loneliness in his life, "For still I hoped to see the stranger's face."
Though his mood begins to change there still is a calm and somber feeling.
In paragraph three, Colridge is holding his son, while appreciating
nature and what it will give to his child, "it thrills my heart with tender
gladness, thus to look at thee, and think that thou shalt learn for other
lore…" He also shows his appreciat .....

Analysis Of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Poetry
.... understood unless the reader knows what persons
Coleridge has in mind. They are, for the most part, poems in which
reference is made with fine particularity to certain places. They were
composed as the expression of feelings which were occasioned by quite
definite events. Between the lines, when we know their meaning, we catch
glimpses of those delightful people who formed the golden inner circle of
his friends in the days of his young manhood. They may all be termed, as
Coleridge himself names on .....
