Love Poems
1,198 wordsMy clumsiest dear, whose hands shipwreck vases, At whose quick touch all glasses chip and ring, Whose palms are bulls in china, burs in linen, And have no cunning with any soft thing Except all ill-at-ease fidgeting people: 5 The refugee uncertain at the door You make at home; deftly you steady The drunk clambering on his undulant floor. Unpredictable dear, the taxi drivers' terror, Shrinking from far headlights pale as a dime 10 Yet leaping before red apoplectic streetcars - Misfit in any space...

Plaths Poems
1,034 wordsEven in her earlier poems, Sylvia Plath displays an unhealthy preoccupation with sex, madness, morbidity and obscurity. Discuss. There seem to be a number of common themes running through all of Plaths poems, which encapsulate her personal attitudes and feelings of life at the time she wrote them. Of these themes, the most prevalent are: sex, madness, morbidity and obscurity. The whole concept of sex to Plath appears to be a very disturbed and resentful one. This is conveyed strongly through the...

Pairing Of Masculine And Feminine Images
764 wordsRip Biggs English 380 Powerful Weapon Emily Dickinson's poem 'My Life had stood-a Loaded Gun-' is a powerful statement of the speaker's choice to forego the accepted roles of her time and embrace a taboo existence, a life open only to men. The speaker does so wholeheartedly and without reservation, with any and all necessary force, exulting in her decision. She speaks with great power and passion, tolerating no interference, and wills herself to maintain this choice for her entire life. The mix ...

Cut By Sylvia Plath
1,715 words"Cut" Sylvia Plath [CONTENT] Persona In terms of content the persona in "Cut" is Sylvia Plath herself.

Plath has experienced much melancholy and depression in her life. Scenario The scenario of the poem starts off in a seemingly domestic scene, perhaps pr...

Olga Poems About My Sister
8,772 wordsDenise Levertov Andre: Prior to the sixties you suppressed the direct autobiographical allusions. But now you seem to be pulling in more actual facts. Would you say again this is related to movements in poetry, such as confessional poetry Levertov: I'm rather antagonistic on the whole to what is called confessional poetry which seems to exploit the private life. I've even felt that some young poets, students, feel that they have to make a suicide attempt, that they must spend some time in a ment...

Images Of An Organic And Sunny Nature
573 wordsAn appreciation of "To Autumn" by John Keats "To Autumn", a vivid and sensuous description of the scenery John Keats encountered and marvelled at in the midst of his Sunday constitutional is something to be marvelled at itself. Not only is his choice of language effective in conveying this idyllic image to the reader, but its tone is incredibly optimistic. This might strike some as strange, considering this poem was penned by a terminally ill author. The poem's nature is diametrically opposed to...

Mrs Tilscher
1,207 wordsElizabeth Roberts 12 CDH Mrs James "Compare and contrast 'Death of a naturalist' and 'In Mrs Tilscher's class" Both poems are extremely similar, in that they are centred around the ideas of the transition from childhood to the adult world. There are most definitely more similarities than differences. 'Death of a naturalist' contains more references to nature than 'In Mrs Tilscher's class'. 'In Mrs Tilscher's class's seems to focus more on classroom life rather than life within nature. Carol Ann ...

Poem A Man
1,151 words"The Early Purges? by Seamus Heaney is about how we lose innocence. It is ambiguous and ironic. The poem recalls a particular incident of when young Heaney, as a boy, witnessed the farmhand killing kittens, and how the poet became used to this in time. Now, he writes, he has a similar indifference to the death of animals when, in fact, the young Heaney's reaction is the one the poet really approves of. "The Early Purges? deals with the issue of the state of humanity by appearing to endorse the v...

H.D. Written Besides A Few Imagist Poems
3,225 wordsBeyond the Image This study of Hilda Doolittle was prompted by my curiosity about a poet called H.D., who is well anthologized as an Imagist poet. Reading further, I discovered that H.D.'s work was far more extensive than first anticipated. Her part in the Imagist movement was only the beginning of a long career that ended with her death in 1961. It does not seem rational for a poet's personae to be frozen in the initial success of a specific genre of poems; indeed, excellent pieces written at t...
