This can be seen in the poem ‘Music’ where in particular, Owen’s use of pathetic fallacy reveals to us the narrators true feelings. Therefore we are able to see that one’s emotional state of mind is projected onto his perception of his surroundings rendering music, which is an entirely subjective and state-dependent phenomenon. Accordingly, we can see this through the metaphor, “Drunk their mellow sorrows to the slake”, that alcohol is like music as it is also very state-dependent. The assonance of long and soft sounds in “mellow sorrows” may be suggesting that these soothe his pain, however could also prolong his pain as well. Owen conveys the idea that by using music and alcohol to relieve your pain is an outdated method, which we can see through the archaic diction “slake”.
The poetic device helped express the authors feelings because he compairs beauty and night so you can get a better understanding of where the author is coming from.| She walks in beauty like the night| Emotion:What emotion was the author trying to express?I think the authour was trying to express love and therefore was at peace.| She walks in beauty like the night| Structure:How is the poem organized (lines, stanzas, etc.)?

In Sonnet 116, each quatrain is an idea, contained in a single sentence. The enjambment allows the ideas to continue, without breaking the regular rhythm. This flow of ideas allows Shakespeare to convey his positive outlook on love whereas Duffy portrays a negative view of love through her use of enjambment. This is due to phrases ending in the middle of
What is the central theme of the work? Answer: Instead of describing how perfect his love is or comparing her to other beautiful things, he says she is average and there is nothing special about her. At the last 2 lines of the poem, the volta changes the poem by saying that even though his love is average in beauty, his love for her is special and unique. So instead of praising her throughout the whole poem, he contrasts her average characteristics with his special love for her. 3.

The first point we will study will be the content of the poems, then the tone in which they are written in, then the rhyme scheme and finally the context of the poems. One of the differences between ‘The Soldier’ and ‘Does it Matter’ is the content, they both have very dissimilar contents. For example, ‘The Soldier’ is a very jolly poem; he describes some of the more positive aspects in it and describes war in a very optimistic way. He describes it very optimistically by hinting that the war would be over soon and England would be back to its happy normal self in no time, ‘And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England Given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;’ On the other hand the poem ‘Does it Matter’ creates a very diverse image to the one created by Rupert Brooke in ‘The soldier’, In ‘Does it Matter’ Siegfried Sassoon describes war in a very negative way and describes the negative aspects of it such as, losing your legs or going blind. ‘Does it matter ?—losing your sight?...
The poet gives the impression of repulsiveness when he speaks of his Mistress’s hair and breath (“Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.” “If hair be wires, black wires grow on her head.”) He uses a tone of honesty when describing her unpleasant voice (which he loves to hear) and the way she walks (“I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound;” “My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.” He uses nature’s beauty to describe her complete imperfection in comparison to nature. Nature is far more pleasing to the eye than she is (“My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips’ red; I snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;” “But no such roses see I in her cheeks;” ) Yet, the tone changes in line 13, when the poets’ words becomes endearing and words of adoration. He is content with the reality of what his mistress is. He is not blinded by love, but that does not make him love her less. He adores his mistress, flaws and all.
With that said, it’s the perfect gesture to show how much you care about someone. What’s a better way of saying “I love you” than by letting them experience the beauty in a kiss? The urge, the want, the need to kiss someone comes from what we call emotions. We kiss because sometimes words aren’t enough. We kiss because some conversations are at its best when we are silent.
Yeats’ tone helps enrich the reader’s conception of the poem’s theme. William Butler Yeats conveys tone through his choice of words and use of details. On the first stanza, the poem expresses a serene feeling as he writes, “when you are old and grey and full of sleep”. On the second stanza, the poet delivers a desperate yet sad tone as he admits his love. “But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you”, we find with this tone that the narrator is
The theme of transience and the enviably of death is quite a difficult idea to play with it as it can become emotional and lose its sense of clarity. However Shakespeare puts structure on this indistinct idea. His use of a straight forwarded rhyming scheme and structured meter conveys a sense of calm and peace allowing us to look t the subject more objectively. Furthermore the reassurance he offers us in his use of a rhyming couplet at the end really allows you take some comfort away at the end of the poem which resonates in your mind long after you have finished reading. This is a key feature in almost LL of Shakespeare sonnets and is often said to be one of the most enjoyable aspects of his works.
