Both poems address the idea of seizing opportunity and living life to its fullest, but from different perspectives – one positive and optimistic, one negative through pessimism. The poems are similar because they both speak of love and seizing opportunity. Herrick’s first stanza begins by stating, “Gather ye rosebuds while ye may/ Old-time is still a-flying” (lines 1-2). What these lines portray is we must seize opportunity as we can because time is always moving and doesn’t slow down for anyone. Through the visual imagery of “gathering rosebuds,” the rosebuds are a symbol for purity and innocence we can draw the conclusion that the speaker is telling the virgins they are innocent and pure, but soon they will bloom and that is when life should be lived to the fullest, for example by having sex, marrying and having a family.
“Nothing like that” (689). The Tinker, being the salesman that he is, finds away to soften her when he spots the chrysanthemums. “What’s them plants ma’am?” (690) Elisa is overjoyed with this outside interest in her flowers.

When the speaker says, “Fifty springs are little too room”, (8) the writing gives a tone and a sense of hurriedness to the reader. “About the woodlands I go/To see the cherry hung with snow” (7-8). These two lines are parallel to the first stanza. The speaker is declaring that he will go both in the spring and in the winter. The fact that the speaker is seeing the cherry trees more often helps Housman’s idea that a person should see his/her favorite items more than once in the short amount of time left.

He is portrayed as a very uptight man and he speaks with great eloquence, especially when in public. After Mrs. Slump invited them to go “plumming, her father replied: “we feared to taste the sacred seed lest we be constrained to dwell forever in the nether regions” (Coates 100). The small girl longs for the wild plums and has a hard time understanding why her parents have banned this fruit. She does not comprehend the reasoning for ignoring the Slumps invitations since she feels that it would be rather fun to pick wild plums and sleep outside with other children her age. In “Wild Plums,” the small girl is an incredibly reliable source because she is too young to distinguish the social barrier between her family and the Slumps.
Although Price’s essay is fleeting, its audience will surely grasp a good idea of how she views American culture. Right off the bat Price recognizes the intrepid aspects of hotels, businesses, and their clientele’s choice to promote the flamingo as a sign of “…leisure and extravagance.” (Price, line 19) The bird represented pizzazz, and was bright pink. Further in she also ties the ripple effect from the great depression. Those marketing techniques may have only been so successful, because America had a generation emerging from the great depression that grew tired of dim, dysphonic, and depressing colors. A combination of flashy pastels and an expanding middle class eager to invest in new technologies previously reserved for the wealthy shot that generation in to a new culture.
Juxtaposed to the negative imagery the overcramped housing evokes, the words ‘roses’ and ‘myrtle’ have connotations of beauty and innocence. This could relate to the wider meaning of the poem as, despite the patriot marching towards the gallows, he knows he is going to a better place, empty of corruption and evil. The use of pathetic fallacy represents the patriot’s despondent feelings. Furthermore, the rain could also be used to reduce the patriot’s dignity. However, the rain could also symbolise the patriot becoming innocent, similarly with the roses and myrtle, as the water could be considered to be washing the patriot’s sins away.
They wear flowers in their bonnets and they give each other flowers. They do it in my name” (Gaiman). The statement is wrong, as Wednesday called her attention towards a chilling fact, “…I agree millions upon millions of them give each other tokens in your name, and that they still practice all the rites of your festival, even hunting for hidden eggs. But how many of them know who you are?” (Gaiman). According to Neil Gaiman, people celebrate this goddess, but do the people who are celebrating know that she is a goddess and not just a Christian holiday.
