The narrator life is not wealthy, it can be understood by “you left us in tatters” and so she looks up with jealousy to her friend who has managed to change and to become a part of a higher society “high compa-ny” (11). Far more, there is a reference to not-knowing melancholy, and yet she defends that with “one’s pretty lively when ruined” (20), which contradicts with the melancholy tone of the poem, to some extent.
The recall of the conversation between the two girls comes to a climax when the narrator describes her fantasies as being like the other girl, she says, .....

Words: 1014 - Pages: 4.... jokingly refuses him her love. The themes of age, weather and
the seasons, and materialism all appear in the two poems. Though, both authors
use them differently to show how love should be attained.
Love should be attained by use of the heart. This theory is the premise
of Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love." The Shepherd in
his poem offers the world to his Love and everything with it. He is an old man
and hopes to win the girl's heart. Notice the word ‘hopes.'
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my love.
And so the last two lines of the poe .....

Analysis Of The Poems Of William Wordsworth
Words: 2657 - Pages: 10.... by
his father's death in 1783. William was sent from relative to relative,
all of whom thought of him only as a burden. It has been pointed out by
biographers that Wordsworth's unhappy early life contrasts with the
idealized portrait of childhood that he presents in his writings
(Wordsworth, William DISCovering).
Wordsworth went to college at St. John's College in Cambridge and
later wrote that the highlight of those years was his walking tour of
France and Switzerland taken with his friend, Robert Jones (Watson 1421).
He graduated in 1791 when the French revolution was in its third year, but,
even though he had showed no prior in .....

T.S. Eliot's "The Wasted Land"
Words: 1478 - Pages: 6.... between men and women that doesn't seem to communicate
a thing. Other author's had an influence on Eliot as well, like Henry
James and Joseph Conrad. All of these poet's had the common themes of
estrangement from people and the world, isolationism, and the feeling that
they were failing to articulate their thoughts (Bergonzi 7, 50, Cuddy 30,
Mack 1743, Martin 41, Unger 8) .
Henry James influence on Eliot's poetry is evident in the Jamesian
qualities he uses. For example, the opening verse of The Waste Land ends
with the Jamesian note, "I read, much of the night, and go south in the
winter" (Mack, 1751). Although Lafourge, Conr .....

Society dictates that she must take on the domestic drudgeries of life.
In the male dominant society, she alone must fulfill the role of
housekeeper. With the absence of her lover, the woman takes sole
responsibility for maintaining a pleasant household; she alone makes the
bed, dusts the tabletop, and sets the coffee on the stove. The portrait of
her miserable life contrasts sharply with that of her lover. While she
struggles with the endless monotony of house chores, he loafs around,
carefree and relaxed. During her monotonous morning routine, the man
flippantly goes "out for cigarettes." Although he too not .....

So various, so beautiful, so new
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,

Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night”

Words: 1690 - Pages: 7.... ends the poem by discussing the powerful community of women, who are able to share together the burdens and joys of motherhood. The way Harwood presents to us the women in this poem are that through childbirth they have been bought closer together and have become emotionally stronger.
