.... to see the stranger's face." Though his mood begins to change there still is a calm and somber feeling. In paragraph three, Colridge is holding his son, while appreciating nature and what it will give to his child, "it thrills my heart with tender gladness, thus to look at thee, and think that thou shalt learn for other lore…" He also shows his appreciation of God and what he has given us. This is the first paragraph where I felt he showed consistent happiness and a faster-paced mood. Coleridge concludes his poem by showing his appreciation for all aspects of nature, not just the winter, "Therefore all seasons shall be sw .....

.... up everything living. The blankness sybolizes the emptyness that the speaker feels. To him there is nothing else around except for the unfeeling snow and his lonely thoughts. The speaker in this poem is jealous of the woods. "The woods around it have it - it is theirs." The woods symbolizes people and society. They have something that belongs to them, something to feel a part of. The woods has its place in nature and it is also a part of a bigger picture. The speaker is so alone inside that he feels that he is not a part of anything. Nature has a way of bringing all of her parts together to act as one. Even the animals .....

.... her renowned amongst the British during war- time and in my opinion, her recruiting poem; “Who’s for the Game” is irresponsible. It gives young men, and their families who would want to persuade the men to join the army, a completely false image of war. However, it is an army recruitment poem, and for the reason it was written, I believe it is a very powerful and manipulative piece of propaganda . This is down to the way the poem is seemingly directed at YOU, no matter who is reading it. It makes you feel that if you do not join the army, you will be missing out on an amazing event: “Who’ll give his country a hand? [rat .....

.... tumultuous escort, the ranks of policemen preceding, clearing the way, The unpent enthusiasm, the wild cheers of the crowd for their favorites…War! Be it weeks, months, or years, an arm'd race is advancing to welcome it. As we can see, like most Americans, Whitman was proud of the engagements to come because at the time, war was only viewed by those who had never seen the ugly side of it. Like a diary of prose, "Drum Taps" follows the war and the attitudes that accompany such an event. A further example of the author's excitement for war and take no prisoners attitude can be read in "Beat! Beat! Drums!" Beat .....

.... must tell you how I feel. So I close my eyes, And let my heart guide my hand. Perhaps the tears that falls from my eyes, Will show you my love and how much it means to me. To me our love is everything. I believe love will find it's way and show us the answers To the questions being revealed, I promise you that I will always love you And I never meant to hurt you. I know you love me, I can see it in your eyes and feel it in your touch, I promise I will never forget it. For out of everything in my life I have earned and acquired .....

.... second line he is tagged as a fiend. This leaves the reader feeling perplexed, yet still thinking of Lucifer as the enemy. At first it may seem as Lucifer has risen to the Earth, but it is further clarified that he has elevated himself above the "rolling ball". However, god imagined the world as planar, with heaven on a higher plane, and hell on a lower plane, not spherical as defined here. From his place in the stars above earth, Lucifer looks down through the clouds, and observes the sinners. He is talking about the denizens of the earth, for since Adam sinned in the beginning, all of his sons and daughters are also sinners. Per .....

.... in the story is certainly not having a “normal” spring break at all, as he is spending it grief-stricken over the death of his four-year old brother. If one examines this title on an interpretive level, the word “break” takes on a new meaning, as it could refer to the death of the child as breaking the heart or spirit of the family and the speaker. The situations and tones in the poems are very similar, in that all the poems deal with the speaker in the poem expressing deep emotion over the death of their departed loved ones. However, each poem is different in the events that occur and in the attitude they convey. The spea .....

.... not venture far from the pointat hand. While reading this great poem, you can clearly see that being old and alone will not stop Mr. Flood from living life to the fullest. In lines 9-13 of Robinson's masterpiece, Eben is having a ball at his party, no matter if he is the only one in attendance. “Well, Mr. Flood, we have the harvest moon Again, and we may not have many more: The bird is on the wing, the poet says, And you and I have said it here before. Drink to the bird.” He seems to carry on conversation with a friend, that is nowhere around .....

.... is trying to convince her as well as himself that his life has not changed through the years. He questions the realness and significance of the everyday events of life and finally concludes that they are unimportant and superficial. "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream." The second stanza takes on a more despairing tone. His air of carelessness begins to vanish. He realizes that everything he holds of value is quickly slipping away from him as, "Grains of golden sand [through his fingers.]" He reexamines his thoughts from the previous stanza and restates his philosophy as a puzzling question. " Is all that w .....

.... the reign of the greatest king on earth.One immediate image is found in the second line, "trunkless legs.". One good comparison may be when the author equates the passions of the statue's frown, sneer, and wrinkled lip to the "lifeless things" remaining in the "desart." Another is when Shelley compares the "Works" of with "Nothing beside remains." shows the reader that two things will mark the earth forever. First: the awesome power of mother nature is constant, everlasting and subject to no human works. Second: a mans actions are kept in the hearts of those he touches for eternity. Nature's commanding presence in the poem is .....
