- 2571: Element of God In Poetry
- ... sight of a beautiful painting or the sound of a beautiful song is godly, as if He, Himself, is painting through the hands of the artist, or speaking through the mouth of the singer.

- 2572: "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.

- 2574: Ozymandias (1818): An Analysis

- 2576: Beowulf: First Literary Superhero
- ... and all.(line 485-488) Had Beowulf attacked Grendel with a sword, the events would not have turned out the same.

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 ...
- 2580: An Analysis of Updike's "Player Piano"
- ... flicker is a phonetic intensive, closely associated with word flame'. Since the flame' is a symbol of life and light, it gives the reader a feeling that the piano is alive, further adding to the effect of personification in this poem. In the last line of the first stanza, there is consonance in "these", "keys", and "melodies". The repeat of the smooth "s" sound in these three consecutive words evokes a ...
