.... unhappiness of it. The speaker came upon a cure for his loneliness, solitude, and isolation when a host of golden daffodils came into sight. They were a strong contrast to the speaker. These golden flowers, with golden meaning valuable and precious, brought care and concern into the poem. The bright daffodils were crowded, cheerful, and energetic. When the speaker mentioned the daffodils dancing in the breeze, the poem became more lively and active. Throughout the poem, the daffodils were in such harmony with nature, being accompanied by the breeze, the stars, and the waves. The golden daffodils were so beautiful and eye-catching t .....

.... make love to her would be. Marvell tells his mistress that the act would be almost animalistic and intense. Throughout the poem, he uses the phases of time in an attempt to frighten her into having sex with him. All three stanza's in the poem represent a different time frame. The first gives his mistress a feeling of unconditional love. He leads her to believe he would give all he has to her as long as time will permit. During the second stanza, Marvell plays on her fear of getting old. He warns her that her beauty isn't everlasting and that she will end up unhappy alone if she doesn't give in. Marvell's use of optimum time, .....

.... of nature, but he goes on to use personification to characterize the strength and vigor the wind possesses. He gives the wind human characteristics by referring to the wind as “her� and “she.� For example, “Her clarion over the dreaming earth, and fill (Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air) With loving hues and odors plain and hill,� can be paralleled with a woman tending to her garden with love and devotion. Along with a heart-rending tone and personification Shelley uses imagery to describe nature. He refers to the clouds in the sky as “angels of rain an lightning� and the dead leaves of Autumn as “ghosts fr .....

.... Magazine. Undeterred, he pressed on with his poem `Endymion', which was published in the spring of the following year. Keats toured the north of England and Scotland in the summer of 1818, returning home to nurse his brother Tom, who was ill with tuberculosis. After Tom's death in December he moved into a friend's house in Hampstead, now known as Keats House. There he met and fell deeply in love with a young neighbour, Fanny Brawne. During the following year, despite ill health and financial problems, he wrote an astonishing amount of poetry, including `The Eve of St Agnes', `La Belle Dame sans Merci', `Ode to a Nightingale' and `T .....

.... the world's neglect of nature. His sonnet, 'The World Is Too Much with Us' deals primarily with his dissatisfaction with the world.Wordsworth criticizes mankind for misdirecting its abilities. 'Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers' (2:TW) Wordsworth also hopes that the world would find more of itself in nature, similar to his desire for his sister in his poem, 'Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey', to gain an interest in nature. 'For this, for everything, we are out of tune;' (8:TW) Wordsworth also makes reference to the Greek gods of the sea in this sonnet, who are associated with the pristine nature of the world. The .....

.... as though he had no control in his life. . . . I hold within my hand Grains of golden sand- . . . they creep through my fingers . . . O God! Can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? In the first stanza of his poem, Poe is speaking to a person who has seen him through some rough times. He is trying to convince her as well as himself that his life has not changed through the years. He questions the realness and significance of the everyday events of life and finally concludes that they are unimportant and superficial. "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream." The second stanza takes on a more despairing tone. His .....

.... compares the dead leaves to "ghosts" (3). The imagery of "Pestilence-stricken multitudes" makes the reader aware that Shelley is addressing more than a pile of leaves. His claustrophobic mood becomes evident when he talks of the "wintry bed" (6) and "The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low/ Each like a corpse within its grave, until/ Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow" (7-9). In the first line, Shelley use the phrase "winged seeds" which presents images of flying and freedom. The only problem is that they lay "cold and low" or unnourished or not elevated. He likens this with a feeling of being trapped. The important wor .....

.... not much. Then as Mr. Haughton says there are of course those types of people, who wish to enjoy the story for what it is, not trying to put too much interpretation into it. To them, I guess the interpretation of the story ruins the effect thus dulling the whole thing. And let’s not forget Mr. Haughton's Queens, the type who like to sit down and analyze the complete meaning of a book, ripping it apart page by page until they come into this complete feeling of self-actualization. Anyway, there are so many more types of reading styles out there, so many combinations. So the answer to the question as whether I am a Gryphon or a Queen, I w .....

.... there for one another. The poet uses visual and auditory images to mainly help the romantic, fantasy-like place. “The sea is calm, the tide is full� and “Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,� is an example of images that appeal to the visual sense. While “ Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land� and “With tremulous cadence slow, and bring...� uses an auditory sense. “Come to the window, sweet is the night air,� can apply to both senses. Sweet can mean angelic or precious to qualify to be an visual image, or it can mean almost like a melodious tune. Illusions are used in this poem as decepti .....

.... stanza, whereas, the article by Anselm Haverkamp mainly discussed the meaning of the poem and the feeling of melancholy. Both articles helped me to understand “Melancholy� better. They also convinced me that Robert Burton had an influence on Keats’s poem. In Keats’s Ode on Melancholy, Gaillard explains that the original “Melancholy� was composed of four stanzas, the first of which Keats’s decided to remove before the poem was published. According to Gaillard, the original “stanza did survive in Brown’s transcripts, but many critics have made only passing references to it, avoiding discussion of the structure, language, t .....
