That I might touch that cheek!” (II, ii, 2-25) this was Romeo’s words when he started talking about how madly in love he is over Juliet. He can’t even bring himself to leave because he wants to be with her forever. He also can’t stop describing how beautiful Juliet is. Love is the most precious thing in life as some people say love makes the world go round. Love is the most important thing for some people, and for others it is everything.
She said that she would continue trading love in the autumn of life (moments of suffering) to keep the individual alive peacefully. The poet tries to explain that love is real & pure and life is nothing without love. She has compared a life without love with a fractured bone which is useless. She ends up saying that love is everything & life without love is nothing. Generally the love poem revolves around the feeling of love, the pain, the good & bad experiences in love & the ironies of being in love.
How it cannot help you breath or heal a broken bone. The last poem from this work talks about their relationship ending. Their relationship has been great and she still remembers the time they spent together. However she knew that this would happen at some point, and even though it is sad to let him go she is ready too. The first poem from Fatal Interview talks about how much Millay is in love with this man.
In her 17’th century poem, “To my Dear and loving Husband” the female Puritan poet Anne Bradstreet showers her husband with accolades of their wonderful Earthly love that they share for each other. In the 12 line lyric she expresses the importance and duality of both an Earthly love between a husband and wife also being a service mankind's love for god. The overall organization of the poem is 3 quatrains of two rhyming couplets each. The six couplets help to convey the sense of a harmonious loving couple. The rhyming pattern they use is AABBCCDDEE almost exactly and the iambic pentameter (5 feet of one unstressed followed by a stressed syllable) give the poem a very comfortable and perfectly designed feeling.
The mighty Odysseus, possessing all of these traits, proves he is worthy of being called an epic hero throughout his wondrous journey on the way back to Ithaca. From the start, Odysseus had his goals set. Getting back home was noticeably the highest priority. Even as he was trapped on an island with the beautiful goddess Calypso, Odysseus expressed the importance of returning home. “Gracious goddess, don’t be cross with me!
Prior to this her life was shown as dark and deathly through the personification of the “mystic shape” that moves behind her. Love is shown as a saviour and a brilliant force that can transcend and give life to her darkest days. Barrett Browning’s sonnets were set in the wake of the Romantics, making the tone of the poems gloomy and filled with sorrow as well as the feelings of the force and intensity of
On the contrary, in Sonnet 43 the speaker’s (probably the poet) feelings are very passionate: her affection seems to have no limits. She is focused on the romantic/ideal love involving God and is in her own spiritual world. In Duffy’s poem, her feelings are hurt but she still loves the other person : “silver bullets of your kiss”(l.15). This metaphor contains an ambiguous mix of two lexical fields that oppose each other. “Bullets” reminds us that violence still remains from the fight and that the pain has not been forgotten.
Both "Life" and "On Time" associate this eternal life with a divine creator, a mirroring of both poets faith through their work. Milton's desire for the freedom of the afterlife is made quite apparent as well as his belief in a divine judgment: When everything that is sincerely good And perfectly divine, With Truth, and Peace, and Love shall
For instance beauty fading with time and also trust fading. A large variety of images fill the mind in each and every one of Shakespeares sonnets, but images cannot appear without the words that make them out to be. The vocabulary and diction that Shakespeare uses in both sonnets are especially effective in describing love, from star to every wandering bark to age in love, loves not to have years told, the words tell a different story about a common topic of love. Sonnet 116 does a softer, more delicate take on love whereas in Sonnet 138, the poem uses euphemisms, namely false- speaking tongue and And in our faults by lies we flattered be. Certainly not portraying love in its finest moment, neither is it a flagrant insult on the emotion.
Within my visual representation, the brightness of the flame is juxtaposed by the dark monochrome of the rain. This use of contrasting tones underscores the author’s struggle against society and nature’s will. The song conveys the otherworldly nature of love through the author’s promise to his love. The author promises to accompany his love, “Wherever you go, I’ll be with you”, despite that they are no longer together. The strength of his love is reinforced by his loyalty and dedication as depicted by ‘You were the first, you’ll be last’.
