- 2551: What is Poetry
- ... love is a good feeling, but we usually do not refer to it as “like the sunrise, perfect in every possible way.” This poem allows us to remember our own experiences of love, and the effect it had on our own hearts. We can also realize that maybe the love we felt in our own lives was not “in truth”. Maybe we realize we only saw love as a word, not ...
- 2552: I Knew a Woman: An Analysis
- ... stanza as well with "stroked," "Counter," "meekly," "sickle," "rake," "sake," and "make." In the first half of the second stanza, the letter "t" is used significantly: "stroked," "taught," "Turn," "Counter-turn," "Stand," and "Touch." The effect gained by using "t" is not as obvious or blatant as some of the other letters. Here, it provides a punch to the word, used, again, as emphasis. While the capitalization may seem to provide ...

- 2554: Dulce et Decorum est: Analysis of Military Life
- ... because of the gas, night and fog, but also "blind" in the sense of not having the foresight or understanding of what was next. The descriptions of these young men not only showed the psychological effect, but the physical aging that war has on a human being. While one could easily develop the basic "War is hell!" theme from this poem, Dulce et decorum Est" does more than any anti-war ...
- 2555: Sharpio's "Auto Wreck": The Theme of Death
- ... of death across to the reader. By bringing the scene of the accident to life and relaying the emotions of the spectators with language and several metaphors, the poem gains a realistic and sometimes transcendent effect. In some places in the poem, the words can easily be taken literally to convey scenery or an emotion, but they can also be taken so as to make the reader think about possible higher ...
- 2556: Analysis of the Poem "The Soldier" by Rupert Brooke
- ... with nature. Another line that evokes a feeling of peace and happiness is, "Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day." Without such strong images, the poem would probably not have such a great effect on the reader. Lines such as this one force the reader to see the land in the same light as the poet. Symbolism also plays a key role in this poem. Some of the more ...
- 2557: Essay Interpreting "One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop
- ... other life incidents. However, the speaker addresses her beloved "you," and then in the last line, herself. Language in "One Art" is simple, yet many literary devices are used. The last line repeated, to the effect of "The art of losing isn't hard to master" suggests that the speaker is trying to convince herself that losing things is not hard and she should not worry. Also, the speaker uses hyperboles ...

- ... the Hour of Lead-- Remembered, if outlived, As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow-- First--Chill--then Stupor--then the letting go--" The innovative diction in this passage creates an eerie atmosphere all by itself. The effect of this passage is reminiscent of the famous macabre monologue at the end of Michael Jackson's Thriller. Dickenson also excellently portrays the restlessness of the mourners in this following passage: "The Feet, mechanical, go ...
- 2559: Housman's "To An Athlete Dying Young"
- ... that the voice and view of death is one of the athlete's friends and not Housman presenting the story. Legggett, the author of The Poetic Art of A. E. Housman, says: Housman achieves the effect of the assertion of two contradictory attitudes--gaiety and grief, triumph and defeat--in a number of poems about death. Although the 'philosophy' of death in "To an Athlete Dying Young" has been discussed as ...
- 2560: "Babi Yar" by Yevgeny Yevtushenko: An Analysis
- ... people claim to bring "the union of the Russian people" (line 59). He makes a point of referring to these people as "anti-Semites" (line 57) because the Jews are Russians, too. The Nazis in effect have turned Russian against Russian - hardly a "union." In the last stanza, the poet calls for world unity which will only occur when anti-Semitism has ended. He is not a Jew, yet he equates ...
