Anne knows that God is rewarding and gives gifts to the deserving of it. Even though all this destruction happened to her, her belief in God becomes stronger than ever. She says “In silence ever shall thou lie, Adieu, Adieu, all’s vanity” (line 35-36), and that we have no control over all the small things in this world, rather God is the one who gives us the gift of life that we should be thankful for. In Anne’s next poem, “ To My Dear and Loving Husband”, she describes the love she has for
Opportunity isn’t a tangible item that you can pocket and save for later, it comes around once in a lifetime. When the speaker addresses the “virgins” in, “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time,” by Robert Herrick, he uses visual imagery, an extended metaphor, and personification to express his optimistic outlook towards the idea of seizing opportunity, or “Carpe Diem.” In Andrew Marvell’s poem, “To his Coy Mistress,” the speaker describes the same subject, namely that life should be lived to its fullest but through a contrasting perspective of pessimism. that the listener isn’t living their life to the fullest. Through the use of auditory imagery and allusions, Marvell is able to portray his pessimistic attitude that one must seize every opportunity to live life to the fullest because it life can end any minute. 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.
In Wild Oats It explains that a person, over the course of time, comes to realise that his greatest desires of love, are unattainable, and second best things will have to suffice. The central purpose of this poem is to show that love is one of these great desires and despite flashes of promise it contains scarcely anything that is more than fragmentary. Larkin reveals this through tone and diction. Both poets seem to focus a lot on the physical side of love where lust and desire are involved however Abse makes it sound more sensual and even spiritual when he speaks of Eros in his poem. Larkin portrays this sense of objectification in his poem with regards to woman as he describes a woman as a ‘bosomy English rose’ and then follows on to call her ‘beautiful’ throughout the poem portraying the sexual lust involved with love.
These thing are what makes us who we are and makes each and every man and woman unique and build who they are, giving up these things is like giving up your, right to be on this earth. Brave New World is a stretch in that it shows the weakness of humans without Freedom and Individuality; these people have given up all their writes to have a feeling of pleasure and fun and self worth. The characters in this story are all they same, in the sense of capacity and also ability. No one really defers from each other, in fact there is no individuality to begin with, each person is created with the same concept as the other, so each and every person derives from the same ideas and
In most cases, this choice is a positive for both sides and it designate to the wedding, because each of us hoping for the best for the positive end of a romantic relationship… Entry#2: Do you believe love conquers all?

The metaphor "the blood flowing" represents the heart which is a symbol for love implying that without marriage there is no love and you have to have love to survive. This is also supported with "house" and "day" as a metaphor signifying the importance of marriage in life. Blumenthal concludes the poem by revealing that each partner takes turn in holding up the ceiling, which can go on "for many years without the house falling". This suggests that by sharing our problems
“And all the mountains tipt with radiant gold, but I reluctant leave the pleasing views” (Wheatley 2). Now by reading that it lets people know that nothing has happened yet, but it is bound to happened. It stating that all this that she writes, thinks, and dreams about is only a dream right now.

We walk our allotted time and do what we are destined to do. The poets remind us, using he metaphor of Gold and of the valiant heart of a beloved pet, that the glory of life; life itself (far, far, more precious than gold), lasts but a brief moment. To live one’s life avoiding all thought of its impermanence is like throwing a part of it away: a part of life that is meaningful – the part that encourages us to ponder on our end, on our impermanence and our mortality. The poets of this era all seemed to have this in common: a sincere and vibrant belief in the immortal soul, as well as in an afterlife. As a famous Rabbi once said - Shaul of Tarsus (aka the Apostle Paul): “if it is only for this life that we believe … we are the most miserable of all men” (Moses et al, nd BC – approx.
Just as physical beauty is a temporary attribute. True love is defined as becoming one with the other for eternity.Thus true love and infatuation are two separate things.True love is not plural either, there are no True Lovers, it is two people in True Love; two people with exactly the goal, maintaining the intimacy of the relationship. Of course, this was what Cyrano and Roxanne already had.They were always there for each other, it’s called devotion. As opposed to Ednas blatent disregard for her duties as a (supposed to be) devoted wife and mother. One thing that never diminished was Cyrano’s extreme devotion to his intimates, both Roxanne and this regiment.
Janie’s Undying Quest for Love All human hearts, at their core, desire love. What this love comes to mean can differ from person to person. How one is brought up can greatly influence their view on what true love is and, for some, leave them without happiness. In Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie finds true love only when she lets go of what society is telling her to do. Although her Grandmother taught her that love is settling with a wealthy man, Janie does not give up on her vision of love.
