- 5912: Romantic Sonnet
- ... whose lives, ideally, should be the most simple. Also included in this simplicity are the innocence of the children and the simplicity of the tone, metaphors, and images in the works. In Blake's "The School Boy," the character of the poem is a young boy whose joy in life should be rising on a summer morning when the birds are singing and when he, in his happiness, can sing with them. Here, there is simplicity in the pleasure of the child and also in the life of the child himself. The boy's biggest problem in his life is having to go to school and having to curb his "youthful spring," which Blake compares to the cutting of a plant's blossoms (l. 20). In this poem, the simplicity and the innocence are not only key factors, but they ...

- ... of Education of Topeka, Kansas, decided on May 17, 1954, was one of the most important cases in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court.

- ... a winning race" (54). In Housman's words: The time you won your town the race We chaired you through the market place; Man and boy stood cheering by, And home we brought you shoulder-high. (Housman 967). Stanza two describes a much more somber procession. The athlete is being carried to his grave. In Leggett's opinion, "The parallels between this procession and the former triumph are carefully drawn" (54).

- 5917: Elizabeth Bishop and Her Poem "Filling Station"
- ... feature. The cans which "softly say: /ESSO--SO--SO--SO" create a wind-like blowing effect from the mouth. Each SO allows for a sort of visual metaphor to be seen-- cars or the personified "high-strung automobiles" as they pass on by. Not only are [oi] and [ow] sounds effectively used in this poem to create a unique tone but so is the use of the cacophony [k] sound. In ... in disarray and turmoil there can be that small part in us that still searches for hope and normalcy. We each need a "comfy" filling station.
