.... and so on ad nauseum. Again, in the fifty-third stanza: "You gaze To-Day, while You are You-how then/ Tomorrow, You when shall be You no more?" The poet seems to be in an incredible hurry to get this life going before some cosmic deadline comes due, and more than willing to encourage any of the laiety he encounters in the course of the poem to do the same. Another recurring motif throughout the poem is the time- honored act of downing a few drinks. It appears that either "Wine", the "Cup" or "Bowl", and the "Grape" touch every stanza in the poem; the narrator seems to be an alcoholic. In the fifty-sixth stanza he dismisses .....

.... events supporting the stone’s cause, in which the overall constancy is maintained. This constant is the underlying strive of the stone to disrupt the stream enough to cause a response that will favor the stone’s well being, that is independence. Indeed the disturbances and splashing caused by the animals represents the actual reality of the revolts in Ireland. First, is the Easter rebellion of 1916 and following World War I there was constant fighting which leads to independence from Britain. The author’s personal view of the rebellion is neutral. He conveys this stating that the driving force of the stream cannot be sto .....

.... explains that the original “Melancholy” was composed of four stanzas, the first of which Keats’s decided to remove before the poem was published. According to Gaillard, the original “stanza did survive in Brown’s transcripts, but many critics have made only passing references to it, avoiding discussion of the structure, language, theme and imagery of the poem as a full four-stanza work”(19). Gaillard believes that the deleted first stanza’s inclusion is very vital to the symmetry and structure to the poem. He states, “With stanza one’s omission the poem ‘s original symmetry is destroyed, and we lose the .....

.... cherishing and caressing the man who stands at her side. Another line is "Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home." This line creates a feeling of tranquillity and a unity with nature. Another line that evokes a feeling of peace and happiness is, "Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day." Without such strong images, the poem would probably not have such a great effect on the reader. Lines such as this one force the reader to see the land in the same light as the poet. Symbolism also plays a key role in this poem. Some of the more obvious uses of symbolism are apparent in the line "And laughter, learnt of frien .....

.... fiercer, 'cause it is harmless, people consider it innocent. I think (I do not know if I was right?) the author intended to indicate that death is just like the earthquake-brings harms and sorrow. Earthquake is not so common, when it happens, people are scared of it. On the other hand, when facing the death, human always feel nervous and sad, all they think is the miserable separation, seldom of them think that people can still promote the form of love to a higher spiritual standard. Death is not so serious-it is a way that every human being must pass through. On the contrary, the movement of the sphere exists every day, it i .....

.... God. Why would Blake call us a Lamb then? Aren't we stronger than any other animal upon this earth? I think that God would tell us "No," for it is He who gives us life strength, as Blake says in the next few lines… Gave thee life & bid thee feed, By the stream & o're the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing wooly bright, What strength could man have without the gifts of God: life, food, clothing. We would have none! And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." John 6:33 William Blake saw that the individual man was so .....

.... imagery is with sight and sound. For sight they are “Close to the sun”, “Azure world”, azure mean the blue color in a clear daytime sky. “ Wrinkled sea beneath”, and “mountain walls”. The only one that was imagery of sight & sound was “like a thunderbolt he falls”. The figures of speech are “wrinkled sea”, which means the waves in the ocean. And one simile is “like a thunderbolt he falls”, it is saying how fast a eagle dives. The poems theme is how an eagle can fly so high and dive so fast. And how free an eagle is. I thought that this was a nice poem. I like the way he uses the words. I thi .....

.... the dewy grass; "Night is worn, "And the morn "Rises from the slumberous mass. "Turn away no more; "Why wilt thou turn away? "The starry floor, "The wat'ry shore, "Is giv'n thee till the break of day." The Chimney Sweeper (Innocence) When my mother died I was very young, And my father sold me while yet my tongue Could scarcely cry "'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!" So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep. There's little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head, That curl'd like a lamb's back, was shav'd: so I said .....

.... stress the importance of service. The Lilly tells Thel that she rejoices because God, who as the Clod of Clay says, “loves the lowly,” comes to her with a promise that, even though her life seems small and insignificant, she is not forgotten. She serves the lamb in nourishment and her perfume spreads across the grasses. Because of these and other services, she will someday “flourish in eternal vales.” The Cloud expresses a similar opinion when asked about the seeming futility and brevity of its life. The Cloud questions the veracity of both of Thel’s suppositions: “‘O maid, I tell thee, when I pass away, / It is to .....

.... everyday. This could possibly be where the term "sticking your neck out" could have come from. When people accept challenges, most do not want to accept the consequences as a result of being unsuccessful. Gawain was not like this. When the year passed he gallantly mounted his horse and set off for the Green Chapel. This showed that Gawain was brave. This was preceded by the warning "Beware, Gawain, that you not end a betrayer of your bargain through fear." Along this journey Gawain faces peril and self-reluctance in the form of the elements and the never-ending search for the chapel respectively. These feeling can be charac .....
