.... up in one line of the poem what he would normally have written a paragraph or more on. For example, "Shake hands forever, cancle all our vows" sums up very concisely the idea of the break being forever, with no possibility of a reconciliation, whilst also adding to the ease of understanding and therefore also to the meaning of the poem. Another constraint of the sonnet is the length of the lines themselves. In a sonnet, the rythem is always iambic pentameter, which means that there must always be ten syllables per line, with each second syllable being stressed. Where the author breaks this pattern, it must obviously be for a good reason, .....

.... dieing happily. Along with their hopes, everyone also has their personal fears. The characters of the poem are also some very meaningful keys in showing the hidden meaning. The first stanza describes the crowd that has gathered to watch the enactment of our human lives. Lines three and four states "an angel throng, bewinged, and bedight in veils, and drowned in tears." Poe is stating that a group of angels is going to watch the spectacle put on for them, although they are already drowning in the tears from plays before. The orchestra that plays for them is another set of characters that have meaning. They represent the backgr .....

.... (lines 2-4) describe the emotional state of Milton. His blindness created a shrouded clarity within his mind. Line three, "And that one talent which is death to hide" is an allusion to the biblical context of the bible. Line three refers to the story of Matthew XXV, 14-30 where a servant of the lord buried his single talent instead of investing it. At the lord's return, he cast the servant into the "outer darkness" and deprived all he had. Hence, Milton devoted his life in writing; however, his blindness raped his God's gift away. A tremendous cloud casted over him and darkened his reality of life and the world. Like the servant, Milto .....

.... of the Scyldings,� and “protector of warriors.� Much of these people's respect come in response to Hrothgar's generosity to everyone. This generosity can be seen towards Beowulf, when the king gives his thanks for the heroic deeds of the warrior. Hrothgar rewards Beowulf with priceless material as he says to the warrior, “You shall lack no earthly riches I can offer you.� The people of the land also trust their king, who holds a strong belief in God. In the scene where Hrothgar celebrates Grendel's death, he holds the monsters hand as he says, “Let us give thanks at once to God Almighty for this sight.� The follower .....

.... of the blackbird. It is also a transition from the observer's perception to the blackbird's perception. In the second stanza, Stevens goes on to say that he was of “three minds, Like a tree, In which there are three blackbirds.� This was the first time he makes the connection between seeing the blackbird and him himself metaphorically being the blackbird. He makes this connection even more clear in the fourth stanza when he says that “A man and a woman Are one. A man and a woman and a blackbird are one." In the sixth stanza he goes back to being the poet observer as he watches the blackbird fly by his icy window. Again in the next sta .....

.... of permanence in an ever more apparently impermanent and fleeting world, he turns to those objects which he regards to as outside of the temporality he, as a mortal man experiences: the perpetuating, generationless song of the nightingale and the “cold Pastoral� ageless marble scenes on the Grecian Urn, considered by may to be among the “best� of his poetry. Ex: His best poetry is composed largely of representations of representations, meditations “on� objects or texts that are themselves reflections of other artists’ creative acts (Scott, xi). The product of these artists are indeed timeless and eternal, something Keats was v .....

.... and played always to win. Yet the harder he worked, the harder he'd fall. When his sports were done he had nothing to do. He had all of the time in the world. "Why not study?" said his mom, cooking the stew. He thought of that during supper and hurled. His mother soon tired of the grades he brought home. She made him study each day after school. He was grounded from TV, and from the phone. He was shut in his room and force-fed gruel. His grades slowly improved, thanks to his mom. Although he didn't thank her at the time. He averaged all B's by .....

.... ‘flame'. Since the ‘flame' is a symbol of life and light, it gives the reader a feeling that the piano is alive, further adding to the effect of personification in this poem. In the last line of the first stanza, there is consonance in "these", "keys", and "melodies". The repeat of the smooth "s" sound in these three consecutive words evokes a feeling of rhythm or harmony - pleasant sounds from the player piano. The next stanza starts with an internal rhyme: "My paper can caper". The simple rhyme suggests that the paper can leap and jump about like a child. The connotation of the word "abandon" adds to this suggestion of unrestrained .....

.... townspeople what are you thinking of? A rough plain hearse then with gilt wheels and no top at all. On this the coffin lies by its own weight. No wreaths please- especially no hot house flowers. Some common memento is better, something he prized and is known by: his old clothes-a few books perhaps- God knows what! You realize how we are about these things my townspeople- something will be found-anything even flowers if he had come to that. So much for the hearse. For heaven's sake though see to the driver! Take off the silk hat! In fact that's no place at all for him- up there unceremoniously dragging our friend out to his own dignity! B .....
