She views her earthly love as one of a spiritual union through salvation as she gratefully acknowledges the love from her husband. She prays his rewards are in such a way where others will admire and remember throughout eternity (l.10). This is an extraordinary way of professing a wife’s love, appreciation and affection for her husband; this poem demonstrates her earthly physical passion in this world and the competing tensions between “the flesh” and “the spirit.” Another prominent aspect of this literary piece is the use of metaphors and similes throughout the poem. The beginning words, “I Prize” (l.5) describe their love as sexy in that she gleefully rewards him with her unconditional love. In addition, these
In this essay, I will be showing a comparison between ‘Romeo and Juliet’ (Shakespeare), ‘To His Coy Mistress’ (Marvel) and ‘Sonnet 130’ (Also by Shakespeare). The first main comparison between these three texts is that they all show different types of love. ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is based on true love as both main characters fall in love with each other at first sight. Shakespeare shows their love by the soliloquy and the sonnet that he added to this text as the words and techniques used in them project a connection between Romeo and Juliet. ‘To His Coy Mistress’ shows an idea of a sexual and lustful love.
She wants us to feel it and I know this in the end of her poem when she writes “In the wonderful MAGIC OF LOVE” and because of this line I have no doubt in my mind that she was madly in love when she wrote this poem. Now in the poem “Love Poem” by John Frederick Nims he takes a much different (and more realistic) approach on how he perceives the idea of his love. As early as the first line he starts to criticize his girlfriend/wife by writing, “My clumsiest dear, whose hands shipwreck vases, At whose quick touch all glasses chip and ring.” In the first line he’s already calling her incredibly clumsy but tries to soften it up by calling her “dear” but by using the word shipwreck it’s almost like wherever she goes and everything
It is this being so tangled in you” (11-12) in the ancient Egyptian love song called “Love of you is mixed deep in my vitals” because the writer also conveys the same message. Overall, both modern and ancient artists exemplify situations of mature love since each need their lover in their lives to feel complete. Immature love is a situation where a person loves the idea of having “love” causing it to be an unrealistic desire. “Been here all along so why can't you see? You belong with me” (12-13) quoted from Taylor Swift’s song “You Belong with Me”, describes her desperation for her crush by trying to persuade him that she is the one for him.

Themes in ‘The Birthmark’ by Nathaniel Hawthorne Nathaniel Hawthorne develops a range of themes with his literary techniques such as, characterization plot development, and the use of poetic devices in the story “The Birthmark.” The themes of this story are; one should love unconditionally; no human can change the fate of another to make them perfect; and science cannot conquer nature. An important theme in ‘The Birthmark’ is, ‘love unconditionally.’ The character of Georgiana helps to develop this theme because of her devotion to Aylmer. Although the crimson birthmark on her cheek disgusts Aylmer and he makes that clear to her quite often, Georgina still loves him and stays devoted to him. She allows him to attempt to remove the birthmark with a risky scientific procedure that could cost her her life. This theme is expanded upon is by Hawthorne’s carefully played out plot development.
She was his lady and his love. Although their love was star-crossed from the beginning, it was always genuine and pure. "the god of my idolatry", is what Juliet called Romeo - she truly loved him. She offered him her lover's vow before he asked for it.
She portrays her personal voice through the use of sonnets, specifically Petrarchan. It is commonly used by males to woo their unattained love. Both composers portray love as idealistic, however it is interfered with by life. It is a universal theme shown through the different time periods. Nevertheless, Elizabeth Barrett Browning advocates that the strength of love can help overcome the obstacles.
In the poem “To Helen” the author used beauty as a form of diction to show his fascination towards the character. In the beginning of the poem the author used the word “beauty” to describe how the speaker saw Helen. The author as well used the word “Psyche” towards the ending of the poem to emphasize Helen’s beauty since “Psyche” means beautiful princess dear to god. The purpose was to emphasize and show the speakers’ admiration and obsession towards Helen. The tone in this poem is peaceful and graceful for when the author says ”Thy Naiad airs have brought me home” signifies that Helen’s beauty is peaceful and gentle and her air can just take him home.
