Nick describes Gatsby’s memories of the romance and describes “romances that were not musty and laid away in lavender but fresh and breathing”. (Fitzgerald, 158) This phrase brings to mind clear images of flowers, because they are often “laid away already in lavender” to dry out over time. The use of “fresh and breathing” could also be used to describe a flower, and that during the time of Gatsby and Daisy’s initial romance their relationship was just blooming, and was very fresh and new to both of them. The language in this passage is beautiful and sensual. Fitzgerald describes “dancers whose flowers were scarcely withered” (Fitzgerald, 158) and “an air of breathless intensity” (Fitzgerald, 158), using the language as a parallel to the tone of the passage and the feeling of the romance between Gatsby and Daisy.
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.
Perhaps Browning tried to capture the whole essence and beauty of nature in her poem. Aurora Leigh was a young maiden brought from Tuscany to England. She was in awe of England. She was captivated by the beauty and richness of nature in England. She sought refuge in the hills of England.

Poets through the ages have been esteemed as possessing the ability to perceive the ordinary in extraordinary and innovative ways. Poetry captures the essences of human emotion and experience and imbues them with further significance by the literary techniques that typify poetry as the language of art. In her poetry, Gwen Harwood explores many thematic concerns that resonate with her readers regardless of their contexts. The universality of concepts such as memory, inspiration, childhood education and the cyclical, yet final nature of death are transformed by Harwood’s poetry to create fresh perceptions of the continuity of experience and provide permanence to these transient elements of humanity through language. The poetic techniques employed by Harwood effectively communicate distinctive aspects of her themes while allowing them to remain universal.
In order to emphasize this simplicity, Mishima focuses the reader’s attention on the setting of the novel by comparing Shinji and Hatsue’s relationship to different physical aspects of the island. Mishima establishes the setting in such a way, that it allows him to fully express the love between Shinji and Hatsue. In order to accentuate the purity and innocence of Shinji and Hatsue’s love, Mishima creates a near-utopia for them to live in: Uta-Jima (Song Island). He begins the novel with an overarching description of Uta-Jima by giving the reader breathtaking images of two locations on the island “with surpassingly beautiful views” (Mishima 3): one is a shrine dedicated to the god of the sea, and the other a “lighthouse near the summit of Mt. Migashi” (4).
