This shows how there are many reasons to her loving her husband and that there is depth to their love, the use of the explanation mark ‘!’ at the end emphasis her delight in telling her lover how much she adores him. Browning uses metaphors to describe her love for her husband “depth and breadth and height” this suggests how she lovers everything about him and how her love for him is much wider than what meets the eyes. The direct address makes the poem seem more personal and realistic. This is direct address, a question addressing her lover which gives the reader the impression that he has asked the speaker how much she loves him. This is a rhetorical question and it implies a conversation the two.
It is told from the point of view of the wife/girlfriend of the soldier. As she slowly helps him recover from his physical wounds, she realises that not only does this require great patience and sensitivity but that his most severe wounds might be in his mind. It is these wounds that she hopes to heal by the end of the poem. Only when she has “widened the search” for the source of his pain does she “come close” to helping him. Duffy’s ‘Hour’ is about a woman and her depth of emotion for the lover that she can only see for one hour.
The view of love Beth Gylys presents in her poem “Marriage Song” is exceptionally meaningful to me. Gylys did not hold back in showing the truth about married lovers and their tendency to show each other the exact opposite of love. “Marriage Song” is a poem in which Gylys writes of married couples having affairs. However, it also shows how love can make people not realize their lives are passing them by. It is about how love is often unreal and true love is rare.
He continually juxtaposes images of the passion he felt for the woman he loved with the loneliness he experiences in the present. He is now at some distance from the relationship and so acknowledges, “tonight I can write the saddest lines,” suggesting that the pain he suffered after losing his lover had previously prevented any reminiscences or descriptions of it. While the pain he experienced had blocked his creative energies in the past, he is now able to write about their relationship and find some comfort in “the verse [that] falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.” Love and Passion Throughout the poem, the speaker expresses his great love for a woman with whom he had a passionate romance. He remembers physical details: “her great still eyes,” “her voice, her bright body,” “her infinite eyes.” He also remembers kissing her “again and again under the endless sky” admitting “how I loved her.” His love for her is still evident even though he states twice “I no longer love her, that’s certain.” The remembrance of their love is still too painful to allow
The reader can relate to these symptoms and the text could compel emotions relating to love from the reader. This constant reference to feelings and stereotypes in correlation to love emphasises the romanticism of the experience of first love. When John Clare states ‘My heart has left its dwelling place and can return no more’ he is directly presenting the experience of first love as a life-changing
I. Jim Morrison was an outstanding poet and a songwriter, whose strong lyrics, especially about the complexities of love, have touched many of peoples' hearts for the past fifty years, especially in "Love her madly," "Light my Fire," and "Moonlight Drive". A. Love Her Madly 1.) “Don't ya love her face Don't ya love her as she's walkin' out the door Like she did one thousand times before” (Morrison, Love, L.A.) a.)

The poems “How do I love Thee” and “My mistress’ Eyes are Nothing like the Sun” are beautiful Petrarchan sonnets with a common theme which is love. Both poets talk about his/her love for another person. Though they are Petrarchan sonnets, they both have their differences and similarities in their form, figures of speech and subject matter. ‘How do I love Thee?’ is a poem written by Elizabeth Browning in 1850 in which she explains her intense love for a man. This is a Petrarchan sonnet; made up of fourteen lines, contains an octave, sestet, and volte.
One can consider that “She was too kind” is the greatest poem ever because when one understand the history of the poem between the poet and Eliza, it can be determined that the poet used imagery, repetition and alliteration to convey the tragic love between Miss Savage and the poet himself. New Historicist theory developed by Stephen Greenblatt is another tool that can be used to interpret what the poem is about. The poet’s history and the critic’s history is intertwined as it is about Samuel’s love life. The poet was married to a woman named Ms. Morgan Herbert, who was a widow. When Samuel returned to Britain from his trip to New Zealand, he met Eliza Savage in person.
Keats has grown as an individual in his past life until he met his love, which led to the creation of his most popular odes. Beck had stated “to write something which is an entity in its self which all the meaning can be found by simply exploring the way words were in the poem” this is shown through Keats’ poems with the word ‘love’ in both La Belle Dame Sans Merci and Ode on a Grecian Urn. ‘And sure in language strange she said - I love thee true’ the effects of this line is to exemplify the differences of love. A language barrier does not stop the illusion of love, seduction and emotion involved. The repetition of the word ‘never, never’ in ‘Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss’ emphasizes the idea of reoccurring love that is constantly chasing.
