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 .....

An Analysis Of Frost's The Road Not Taken
Number of words: 791 | Number of pages: 3.... will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As
much he may strain his eyes to see as far the road stretches, eventually
it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead. It
is the way that he chooses here that sets him off on his journey and
decides where he is going.
"Then took the other, just as fair, and having perhaps the better
claim." What made it have the better claim is that "it was grassy and
wanted wear." It was something that was obviously not for everyone because
it seemed that the majority of people took the other path therefore he
calls it "the road less travelled .....

The Theme Of Death In Poems
Number of words: 817 | Number of pages: 3.... yet she isn't passing by anymore, and to her this hundred
years seems as no time at all. Finally she accepts her death, and is able to
pass into eternity. To her death wasn't harsh like some see it, but a kindly,
gentle soul, taking her for a carriage ride to her final home.
A child experiences death much differently than an adult. Children
aren't quite able to see death as the sad even that it is. "First Death in Nova
Scotia" tells of a young boys death, and his cousins view of it. We are shown
Arthur's death through the eyes of a child. The little girl, our narrator,
describes the scene of her cousins funeral. Her focus .....

Emily Dickinson's Literary Devices And Techniques
Number of words: 620 | Number of pages: 3.... displays a writers creativity and intelligence to be able to pull up words which rhyme.
The use of paradoxes in Dickinson's poems is another technique which she takes advantage of in order to make her poetry interesting and enjoyable. Paradoxes are contradicting subjects or statements Dickinson demonstrates her use of paradox in several poems, the most notable being "Much Madness is Divinest Sense." In this poem I believe Dickinson is trying to assert that in madness, divinity can be derived. The same can also be said about finding divinity in madness. Two characteristics are opposite in meaning, but the adage of opposite .....

Elements Of Romanticism In Wordsworth's "London, 1802" And Blake's "The Lamb"
Number of words: 1063 | Number of pages: 4.... country
From this account it can be deduced that the poem was spontaneous
in nature and originated from an internal response. The poem's use of a
realistic setting occurs in line 2 with the reference of England as a
"fen." This particular adjective e describes England as a "land wholly or
partially covered by water, mud, clay, or dirt."(Oxford English Dictionary).
From this line a realistic setting is produced. The narrator further
conveys a visionary experience through the extensive uses of nature via
similes and metaphors within the poem. On lines 2, 9, 10, 11 it states,
England hath need of thee: she is a fen
Thy soul .....

E.E. Cummings
Number of words: 1403 | Number of pages: 6.... and 'iness', the last line, can mean "the state of being I" - that is, individuality - or "oneness", deriving the "one" from the lowercase roman numeral 'i' (200). Cummings could have simplified this poem drastically ("a leaf falls:/loneliness"), and still conveyed the same verbal message, but he has altered the normal syntax in order that each line should show a 'one' and highlight the theme of oneness. In fact, the whole poem is shaped like a '1' (200). The shape of the poem can also be seen as the path of a falling leaf; the poem drifts down, flipping and altering pairs of letters like a falling leaf gliding, back and forth, .....

T. S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men"
Number of words: 1263 | Number of pages: 5.... to physically and at the same time endlessly
suggestive in the meanings it set up because of its relationship to other images.
Eliot's real novelty was his deliberate elimination of all merely connective
and transitional passages, his building up of the total pattern of meaning
through the immediate comparison of images without overt explanation of what
they are doing, together with his use of indirect references to other works of
literature (some at times quite obscure).
Eliot starts his poem "The Hollow Men" with a quote from Joseph Conrad's
novel the Heart of Darkness. The line "Mistah Kurtz-he dead" refers to a Mr.
Kur .....

An Analysis Of "To A Friend Whose Work Has Come To Triumph"
Number of words: 424 | Number of pages: 2.... final line of the poem has a comparably different tone than the
first 13 lines. The last line, "See him acclaiming the sun and come
plunging down while his sensible daddy goes straight into town.", seems
more mocking of Daedalus' flight. It seems that Sexton feels that
Daedalus' flight was a wasted chance and was in no way adventurous. She
might also be comparing her friend to Icarus, seeing as he too failed his
initial task but accomplished something greater on a global scale. I
believe Sexton thought that Icarus' flight was not foolish or a failure,
but adventurous and a great personal success, even though his satisfa .....

Harlem By Langston Hughs: Analysis
Number of words: 442 | Number of pages: 2.... put up with. He talks about how prices of food are going up, tax increases, and jobs black could never get just because they are colored. In the first and second stanza the tone is one of anger and frustration, but in the last stanza however, it seems to be a threat or a warning to white society. The last several lines state, “ And wonder what we’re gonna do in the face of what we remember.
Finally, the poem, in some aspects reflects every day life in Negro America. Not all, but a good number of African-Americans live in urban areas and central cities. Harlem is one of those areas. In these communities life is very .....

Characteristics Of The Beowulf Poem
Number of words: 1056 | Number of pages: 4.... libraries; since his name is written on one
of the folios, Lawrence Nowell, the sixteenth-century scholar, may have
been responsible for Beowulf's preservation."(Raffel ix) An interesting
fact that is unique about the poem is that "it is the sole survivor of what
may have been a thriving epic tradition, and it is great poetry."(Raffel
ix)
The poem was composed and performed orally. "Old English bards, or
scops, most likely began by piecing together traditional short songs,
called heroic lays; they then gradually added to that base until the poem
grew to its present size. The verse form is the standard Old English
isochronic .....
