- ... company. Byron was the first influence and inspiration to Browning’s first boyish attempts as a poet. Later after coming upon a copy of Shelly’s Queen Mab he fell under the fascination of this new poet. It was then that he started his formal career in poetry.

- 9606: The Use Of The Color White In Frost's Poem "Design"
- ... makes people think that it is innocent and pure when it is really not. Traditionally spiders have been associated with dirty and devilish acts.

In the second part of the first stanza Frost describes a witches brew with all the ingredients being white ... to him. The spider used his innocent mask to deceive the moth and then the moth being gullible, was pounced on by the spider. The deceiving spider then held up the moth for the entire world to see. The moth is also commonly thought of a gross bug, but they are not harmful. The innocent little moth was tricked and it cost its life. I feel that there is a deeper ... consequences. A traditional use of white is in a wedding ceremony, while a traditional use of black is at a funeral.

- 9609: Dulce et Decorum Est: Analysis
- ... Decorum Est: Analysis In the poem, “Dulce et Decorum Est” written by Wilfred Owen, we read of an experience which the poet had during his time as a soldier at the front during the First World War.
