The To his coy mistress In Andrew Marvell's poem "To His Coy Mistress" mirrors the the idea of "carpe diem." The speaker is trying to persuade the woman he is pursuing to live for today. The speaker uses three tactics or allusions to convince his mistress to see the situation his way. These tactics or idealism,realism, and sythesis or what I like to call the "therefore method" to to exaggerate his feelings and sway his mistress to sleep with him. Idea, by definition, is an opinion or belief.
In John Clare's poem 'First Love' we see love as an instant attraction and he says it was a love 'so sudden.' It also highlights the aspect of unrequited love as the relationship between the poet and the person he loves has never even started. In fact he is hardly noticed as we can see from the rhetorical question 'And when she looked 'what could I ail?'' It is only in his own mind that she even perceived his love for her. ‘She seemed to hear my silent voice And loves appeal to know’ (L19, 20) This depicts love as obsessive and selfish.
Additionally Marvell sates that he hears ‘times winged chariot hurrying near’. By this he means that he is fearful that his lovers virginity is still there, but for how much longer? He may believe that sooner or later someone else may take such a precious and powerful aspect of his mistress away without any consideration. On top of that he is concerned that if they do not consummate their love now, it may be too late if they were to meet again in the future, (i.e. they may have aged
Character Essay The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock An insecure yet very opinionated character was Prufrock. A “seen it all” kind of attitude was through the whole poem, but there was still a simple love character beneath him that he was too shy to show. He expresses a lot of himself, though he lacks a sense of confidence. (40) “And indeed there will be time, to wonder, ‘Do I dare? And ‘Do I dare?’, Time to turn back and descend the stair, with a bald spot in the middle of my hair”.The poem starts out with verses of “what not to do with your love”, yet he fails to express the person he has feelings for but also fails to recognize himself in all this.
It's not till the end of the book when Kamala and Siddarthas son come into the picture and he finally suffers by losing them both. Siddartha needed to loose love in order to find enlightenment. Through love SIddartha finds his way to englightenment. All the time he had spent with kamala, and learning the art of love from Kalmala, made him start loving her. Siddartha did not beleive that he could or that he should love if he wanted to find englightenment so he left the village and continued on his own.
In the next quatrain, Keats perceives the world full of possibilities, waiting to be transformed into poetry. He describes the world as beautiful, a product of nature when he says, “night’s starr’d face.” Keats looks around at his beauty, but feels as if “[he] may never live never live to trace.” Keats’ reflection on death and his preoccupation of not being able to fully show his poetical gifts fears him. In the third quatrain, Keats expresses his fear of losing his love. He fears that his love for the “fair creature of an hour,” will be short-lived. Though he just met this woman for a brief amount of time, he “feels that he will never live to trace.” Interestingly, the four lines in this quatrain are noticeably shorter than the others.
Bradstreet also shows identity for the Puritan men that criticize her work because men had more talent and skill, which come in handy in the society, but she sees that it’s unfair. For the men in her community she talks in stanza five, denying her writings, claiming Bradstreet’s works are “stolen”, or else it was by chance”. She writes in her poem in stanza seven, “Men have precedence and still excel, it is but vain unjustly to wage war,” in the beginning of the poem, stanza two, “Fool I grudge the Muses did not part, ‘Twixt him and me that over fluent store". These lines show that Bradstreet felt that it was not fair because men and women had different roles. Ruiz 2 During the time women had to stay home and take care of the house hold things, meanwhile men did the labor, which Bradstreet wants men and women to have the same rights.

Of course this is not true or we wouldn’t all be here today. I remember shortly after becoming good friends with XXXXX, we were talking about life, and asked him about XXXXX. The first thing out of his mouth was “from the moment I saw her, I knew I wanted to be with her” which I thought was kind of corny but sweet and sincere As for XXXXX … I have a quote: Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind as William Shakespeare once said, so XXXXX I guess your love must truly be blind. (Pause) XXXXX, being beautiful is only the start of the many qualities you have that make XXXXX such a lucky guy today; you are a smart, loving, and caring woman. You really deserve a great husband… Thank
