The poem describes a beautiful evening by the sea as the sun is setting. In the first eight lines (octave), the speaker notes the calm and quiet atmosphere, likening it to a nun in prayer. He hears the sounds of the sea which remind him of thunder. In the last six lines (sestet), the speaker addresses his daughter as they walk together. He says though she may seem carefree, her soul is still divine because she is constantly in God's presence, even if unaware, just as one is in God's presence when in nature.William Blake

Wordsworth wrote this poem during an evening walk with his daughter Caroline. In the poem, he describes the beauty of the calm and peaceful evening by the sea. He sees the sunset as a holy, sacred time, comparing it to a nun in prayer. Wordsworth senses the power of nature but also sees the divinity in both nature and his daughter, as she walks with innocence close to nature, just as he believes children are closer to God. The poem expresses Wordsworth's view of nature as revealing the divine and his loving relationship with his daughter.An Article on Keats' "Ode on a Grecian Urn"

The poem describes Kubla Khan's decree to build the pleasure dome of Xanadu, an earthly paradise. It had fertile grounds enclosed by walls and towers, with bright gardens and ancient forests. However, an untouched chasm represented the untamed natural world beyond man's control. From this chasm emerged a sacred river that meandered for five miles before sinking into a sunless sea, representing the fleeting nature of creative inspiration.William Blake PowerPoint

2) Many small losses occur every day, such as losing keys or forgetting names and places, and these should be accepted as natural occurrences rather than disasters.

This poem uses a sestina form with six stanzas of six lines followed by a three line stanza. The same six words end each line in a repeating pattern: tears, child, stove, house, almanac, grandmother. The poem depicts a childhood scene where the grandmother hides her sadness from the child, though an underlying atmosphere of grief is present related to the grandmother's daughter. Through images like the rigid house and tears in a teacup, the poem conveys the family's experience of loss and difficulty while also hinting at hope for the future.ONE ART by Elizabeth Bishop

Over the course of the poem, the speaker describes losing increasingly significant people and possessions, from small everyday items to loved ones and homes.

The poem contrasts the sounds of battle with traditional funeral rites and honors, highlighting how soldiers die without proper ceremonies. Owen employs literary techniques like imagery and personification to convey anger over the futility and slaughter of war, contrasting the violence of battle with the mourning of families at home. Through this somber sonnet, Owen strives to change perspectives on the profound impacts of war.Similar to Poetic devices and the magic of elizabeth bishop2 (20)

The Fish
Elizabeth Bishop
,油
1911
油-油
1979
I caught a tremendous fish
and held him beside the boat
half out of water, with my hook
fast in a corner of his mouth.
He didnt fight.
He hadnt fought at all.
He hung a grunting weight,
battered and venerable
and homely. Here and there
his brown skin hung in strips
like ancient wallpaper,
and its pattern of darker brown
was like wallpaper:
shapes like full-blown roses
stained and lost through age.
He was speckled with barnacles,
fine rosettes of lime,
and infested
with tiny white sea-lice,
and underneath two or three
rags of green weed hung down.
While his gills were breathing in
the terrible oxygen
the frightening gills,
fresh and crisp with blood,
that can cut so badly
I thought of the coarse white flesh
packed in like feathers,
the big bones and the little bones,
the dramatic reds and blacks
of his shiny entrails,
and the pink swim-bladder
like a big peony.
I looked into his eyes
which were far larger than mine
but shallower, and yellowed,
the irises backed and packed
with tarnished tinfoil
seen through the lenses
of old scratched isinglass.
They shifted a little, but not
to return my stare.
It was more like the tipping
of an object toward the light.
I admired his sullen face,
the mechanism of his jaw,
and then I saw
that from his lower lip
if you could call it a lip
grim, wet, and weaponlike,
hung five old pieces of fish-line,
or four and a wire leader
with the swivel still attached,
with all their five big hooks
grown firmly in his mouth.
A green line, frayed at the end
where he broke it, two heavier lines,
and a fine black thread
still crimped from the strain and snap
when it broke and he got away.
Like medals with their ribbons

The poem describes a boy's childhood experience picking blackberries that represents a rite of passage into adulthood. As a child, the boy excitedly picks blackberries, but later finds the fruit has rotted, representing how childhood innocence decays. The boy realizes that ambitions do not last, just as the berries did not keep. The personal well the speaker loved as a child now echoes darkness as an adult, showing how he has lost the naive perspective of childhood. In "Digging", the speaker admires how his father and grandfather worked the land but knows he cannot follow the same path, instead using his pen to understand his family lineage and accept his change.Parasystole Journey: Visiting Ancient Light Tribes During Shamanic Journeys B...
Parasystole Journey: Visiting Ancient Light Tribes During Shamanic Journeys B...Margaret E. Gill
油
What I have done during these journeys can be explained by using Michael Talbot's view, as described in his book, "The Holographic Universe". I have "plucked out scenes from the long-forgotten past." And in so doing, I have changed what happened.
Here is his explanation:
"In a holographic universe, even time and space could no longer be viewed as fundamentals. Because concepts such as location break down in a universe in which nothing is truly separate from anything else, time and three-dimensional space, like the [two] images of the fish on the TV monitors, would also have to be viewed as projections of this deeper order. At its deeper level, reality is a sort of superhologram in which the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. This suggests that given the proper tools it might even be possible to someday reach into the superholographic level of reality and pluck out scenes from the long-forgotten past."
This document describes my original contact with the Ancient Alien Light Tribes, in April of 1988. It is excerpted from "Paintings of the Rhombi Chronicles: a Series of Lucid Dreams and Journeys."

This poem by Emily Dickinson expresses the poet's desire to be left alone and not conform to society. She compares being a public figure to being a frog that croaks all day without response. Dickinson warns her "nobody" friend not to reveal their identities, or else they will be banished by "somebodies" to the crowd.Figures of speech

MYSTERIES OF NATURESimar3979
油
This poem explores the mystery and fear of nature through imagery of wells and the sea. The speaker recalls being drawn to wells as a child but also feeling awe and fear of their depth and unknown contents. Nature is portrayed as a "stranger" with an ominous, haunted quality that cannot be fully known or understood, even by those closest to it. The more one observes nature, the less it can be simplified or comprehended.Little Red Cap annotations - Carol Ann Duffy
Little Red Cap annotations - Carol Ann DuffyKatie-Ann Sheehan
油
This poem explores Carol Ann Duffy's "Little Red Cap" and how it represents her portrayal of problematic relationships in "The World's Wife". "Little Red Cap" tells the story of a girl leaving childhood and her first sexual encounter with an educated wolf man. Over time, she grows disillusioned by his repetition and takes his life, leaving the forest empowered and singing. The analysis discusses Duffy's metaphorical language, imagery, characters shifts, and the poem's reflection on lost innocence.The sound of poetry

The Ancient Mariner tells his tale of killing an albatross and being cursed to wander the seas as punishment. He is saved from drowning but appears as a ghost to the other sailors. He is only relieved of his agony when he tells his story to others to teach them that all of God's creations deserve respect. The wedding guest is so affected by the story that he does not join in the wedding festivities as planned.Challenging Terra Nullius of the Mind
