.... of Nature.Bryants whole poem is Idealisation of nature, by choosing but one sentence would be cutting the poem short.By both authors using the same romantic element is just another example of how they are similar. Thanatopsis and Because i could not stop for Death,are somewhat dissimilar , for instance when in Dickinsons poem when she says "We slowly drove he knew no haste," she is referring about death taking her away and she sees everything on this journey.william Cullen Bryant however sees Death a little different ,like in his poem when he says " There comes a still voice yet a few days . and thee you will see no more," .....

.... friend, whom played a major role in her life. By putting on the jacket, she tries to relive the past by, “...unwind(ing) it, paste it together in a different collage...�. In this poem, Maxine Kumin, uses plants to describe her feelings, as in; “scatter like milkweed� and “pods of the soul�. These similes show what she sees and feels. “The Longing to be Saved�, is a dream, where her barn catches fire. “In and out of dreams as thin as acetate.� She visualizes herself getting the horses out, but they “wrench free, wheel, dash back�. In, “Family Reunion�, she writes that “nothing is cost efficient here�. Veg .....

.... the landscape darkening around “the ground that is almost smoothed in snow� (line 3), and picture the inky blackness as it covers everything except for a “few weeds and stubble showing last� (line 4). The image of him standing alone on the barren snowy landscape with weeds as his only companions, creates a lasting picture in the mind of the reader, of a man just beginning to reveal his inner “darkness�. As the second stanza begins, the speaker has reached the borderline of the quickly darkening woods, and it seems as though he has paused in his walking, as if to stop and ponder his own vacancy and loneliness. In lines five a .....

.... for anyone in this situation is to convince yourself there isn't anything there. That is exactly what he did. He says it is a late night visitor and nothing more. Then he begins to explain out loud that he was napping, and the visitor came rapping and woke him up. He opens the door to look at who or what is there, but all he sees is the darkness of the night. At that point the man's mind went wild, wondering, fearing, and dreaming of what might lie beyond his front stoop. The only sound that was heard was the soft whisper of the name "Lenore", as if the man was expecting her to answer his faint plea. Jolting back into the chamber, the .....

.... in life. There are triunes in religion, (Father, Son, Holy Spirit,) science (energy, matter, ether,) spiritualism (mind, body, spirit,) and psychiatry (superconscious, conscious, subconscious) to name but a few, while nine is the number of months in a human pregnancy (divided into three trimesters). Sevens also occur frequently: there are seven cardinal virtues; seven deadly sins; seven ages of man; seven days in a week and seven seals in the book of revelation. Although the range of emotions is spread between the poems, they do seem to follow a linear course as the sequence progresses. You’re begins with the persona (whom we can assu .....

.... "s" sounds in this 28 line poem, with the word "she" being mentioned almost a dozen times (and "her" mentioned as many, stressing the importance of the person). The placement of these words is strategic, emphasizing the natural sound and feel to the poem as well as the natural softness to her disposition. In the third stanza, this is most obvious: "She played it quick, she played it light and loose; / My eyes, they dazzled at her flowing knees; / Her several parts could keep a pure repose, / Or one hip quiver with a mobile nose / (She moved in circles, and those circles moved)." Here, there are almost a dozen leading or strong trailing .....

.... to a place where the stars are visible, not the fires of hell. This rising from the underworld is summed up in the first line. It is later explained that he is doing so because he is tired of his ‘dark dominion." Ironically, the first line refers to Lucifer honorably, as a "Prince", while in the 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 .....

.... revivals, the people of New England began to question the old ways. What used to be the focal point of all lives was now under speculation and often doubted. People began to search for new meanings in life. People like Emerson and Thoreau believed that answers lie in the individual. Emerson set the tone for the era when he said, “Insist on yourself; never imitate� (McMichael 691). Emily Dickinson believed and practiced this philosophy. When she was young, she was brought up by a stern and disciplined father. In her childhood she was shy and already different from the others. Like all the Dickinson children, male or female, Emi .....

.... of her life. Anne Bradstreet’s poem An Author to Her Book explains Bradstreet’s anger towards her brother-in- law for publishingher personal poetry without her permission. In this poem Bradstreet uses a combination of a metaphore, a paradox, and other literary devices to express her anger. Bradstreet expresses her anger mostly through the extended metaphore which flows throughout the poem. This extended metaphore compares Bradstreet’s poetry to an ill-formed child. “Thou ill-formed offspring of my feeble brain,/ Who after birth didst by my side remain,/ Till snatched from thence by friends, less wise than true,/ Who thee abroad .....

.... to see the man as being intellectual. According to Poe himself, the reason for using "Pallas" in the poem was simply because of the "sonorousness of the word, Pallas, itself" (Poe, 1850). A less obvious symbol, might be the use of "midnight" in the first verse, and "December" in the second 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 .....
