.... he befriended Percy Shelly, another promenent poet at the time, and became fairly obsessed with him. In 1824, after Byron had send over 4000 pounds to the Greek fleet, he sailed to join Prince Alexandros Mavrokordatos, to join his forces and fight with him. Byron contracted a fever and died on April 19th, 1824 in Missolonghi, Greece. Lord Byron's poem "Euthanasia" was published in 1812. It reflects how Lord Byron felt about his life. It is it tells you an almost direct summary of his life when you read it. In lines 5-8 Byron wrote: "No band of friends or heirs be there, To weep or wish the coming blow, No maiden with dishevell .....

.... of innocence. Therefore, one existing similarity is that they both concern the loss of innocence. Of his most well known poems are “The Lamb” from Songs of Innocence, and “The Tyger”, from Songs of Experience. Both poems contain many similarities according to their themes. "The Lamb" is an emblem of innocence, corresponding to "The Tyger" as the emblem of experience. In the poem "The Lamb", William Blake discusses many points questioning creation and religion. He describes the lamb as being an object of innocence and fragility when he says "Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing, woolly, bright; Gave thee such a .....

.... thinks he would do better if he took the one less traveled. "The paths are wanted wear." He is saying no matter what which one, he goes he will have to take a path (Frost 84). I should say this doubtfully because I know where I am going. "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." By taking this path Frost is saying he made the right choice to keep going and he didn't turn back. He took the path that people take less often (Frost 84). In "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening," Frost stops at the edge of a wood to think who's woods are he in. He just sits th .....

.... as having conducted a search for the modern Demiurge named Evolution in hope of learning the secrets of life, but when finally found him all he was rewarded was indifference, atheism, and laughter” (Thompson 327). The uncertainty lies in the Demiurge’s answer of indifference and atheism. This answer may inspire some fear but much of it resides in the face of Evolution, an element of nature. Another poem that conveys fear and uncertainty is “Into My Own.” In lines 1 through 4 Frost writes: One of my wishes is that those dark trees, So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze, Were not, as ‘twere, the mere .....

.... verse. Both midnight and December symbolize an end of something, and the anticipation of a transition to occur. The midnight in December could possibly be New Year's eve, a date with which most connect transition. With Poe's extensive vocabulary, he is qualified to bestow an ancient and poetic language in "The Raven" which eloquently depicts a surreal yet romantic picture of a man spending an evening in his chamber. The word "Seraphim" in the fourteenth verse, "perfumed by an unseen censer / Swung by a seraphim whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor" describes the way a scent spreads swiftly through a room. A seraphim is .....

.... the cares of modern life- it is primal and hot. A couple of lines later Eliot talks of "red sullen faces sneer and snarl/ From doors of mudcracked houses" (ll. 344-345). These lines too seem to contain language that has a primal quality to it. From the primal roots of ceremony Eliot shows us the contrast of broken ceremonies. Some of these ceremonies are broken because they are lacking vital components. A major ceremony in The Waste Land is that of sex. The ceremony of sex is broken, however, because it is missing components of love and consent. An example of this appears in section II, lines 99-100, "The c .....

.... He began to prepare himself to soon be in their company. Byron was the first influence and inspiration to Browning’s first boyish attempts as a poet. Later after coming upon a copy of Shelly’s Queen Mab he fell under the fascination of this new poet. It was then that he started his formal career in poetry. In the 1930’s he met the actor William Macready and tried to write verse drama for stage. Macready regarded him as, “more like a youthful poet that any man I ever saw.” (Lovett, ix) At that time he discovered what his real talent was. Taking a single character and allowing him to discover himself by revealing .....

.... morning it was not the same. [13]They had known, but she could not keep the moment. [14]She wanted it again; she wanted something permanent. [15]She had not realized fully. [16]She thought it was he whom she wanted. [17]He was not safe to her. [18]This that had been between them might never be again; he might leave her. [19]She had not got him; she was not satisfied. [20]She had been there, but she had not gripped the—the something—she knew not what—which she was mad to have. (336-337) This passage, from D.H. Lawrence's novel, Sons and Lovers, describes the thoughts of Paul Morel and Clara Dawes after t .....

.... Whitman views himself as a different person when he is in the company of his companion. With the live Oak representing Whitman, and the tender green Moss representing Whitman's companion, these two separate entities form one. Happy, loving, and open-minded, the love emanating from Whitman is a sign of true life. As the poem progresses on, Whitman uncovers the sadness of his life. Viewing praise as a hollow feeling, Whitman expresses his constant sadness in life. When I heard at the close of the day how I had been praised in the Capitol still it was not a happy night for me that followed; Nor whe .....
