Come to the window, sweet is the night-air! In this first stanza the speaker is depicted standing at a window looking out at the sea. In this introduction he describes the sea in a very positive way. He uses adjectives such as "calm", "fair" and "tranquil" to create a harmonious mood. He seems to be addressing a loved one, whom he begs to "Come to the window, sweet is the night air!"
They painted outdoors mostly away from what many considered beautiful at that time. "Sunrise" by Claude Monet has been a favorite of mine because of the simplicity it conveys yet complexity received by the eye. He was mesmerized by the different light shown upon the subject at various times. At times he would return to the subjects to see the qualities of light at different times. In the painting "Sunrise" depicted is a river with a boat and the sun is just rising over the horizon, possibly dawn.
These stories were similar because both of the stories started off as an innocent pleasant sunny days, “With a clamor of bell that set the swallows soaring, the festival of summer came to the city. Omelas bright towered by the sea.” (Le Guin 258). “The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full summer day” (Jackson 263). Both stories contains a gathering in the story “The ones who walked away” “Old people in long stiff robes of mauve and grey, grave master workmen, quiet, merry women carrying their babies and chatting as they walked” (Le Guin 258), as well people were dancing, music and singing. In the story “Lottery” “Men were gathered in a corner telling stories smiled rather than laughing, the women were wearing faded house dresses and sweaters” (Jackson 263).
Whether it’s relaxing in the sun, sailing, scuba diving, or taking in a the local culture, the Bahamas offers whatever you are looking for in a vacation. The Bahamas, the tropical oasis you have always dreamed of. What makes the Bahamas so special? Could it be the gorgeous water? Is it the 00 islands?
Right from the beginning of the stanza there is a tactile image. Solway writes, “Back it comes through/ a screen of particles” (35-36). When he says, “screen of particles”, he is talking about the mist that is left over from him stirring up the water on his board. His word choice is perfect, because the reader can imagine the feeling of light mist on their skin. The reader also gets an auditory image when Solway says, “and settle in a rush of silence” (43), giving the reader that image of peacefulness and quietness.
This establishing shot creates a strong image of the city and the lifestyle on a dull day. Mel Brackstone This photograph as an intesnsity to bring the feeling of heat and summer. The lighting in this photograph is just so ethereal with the textures and the earthy tones it makes it seem so Australian. The contrast between the water and the dry sand is striking and you can almost feel the landscapes surroundings. I like this photograph has it reminds me of the hot days of summer which are the best times of the year.
Coney Island's three big luxury hotels, the Manhattan Beach, Oriental and Brighton Beach were the epitome of a gracious and leisurely age, a unique expression of their era. They were long rambling wooden structures, 600 to 800 feet in length with deep verandas (porches) reaching down their entire length. They faced the sea but were set back by wide green lawns decorated with beds of geraniums and lobelias, and had broad curving walks. These gracious hotels became more and more popular with each day. Evening entertainment included music and fireworks.
4 Analysis of The Summer I Was Sixteen The Summer I Was Sixteen, written by Geraldine Connolly, is a poem reminising a summer long ago. The poem talks about teenagers swimming in the pool on hot summer days, bar-b-ques on the beach, and parties at night with friends. It is a fun poem that is light hearted and happy. The poem was written in a carefree and content way that made it seem like the poet was happy about these memories and that nothing bad happened. The poem was written in three to four line stanzas that held many vivid details.
Wombing is an unusual verb used by Shakespeare to mean 'enclosing'; it is the final word of the first stanza but leads through enjambment to the 'wild seabirds' in the first line of the second stanza, as if the sea is about to give birth to the birds. In stanza two, which is six lines long, Nichols continues the theme of dreaming about the island as the fisherman set out to sea and the sun rises 'defiantly' (in contrast to London weather, of course). The images are again based in nature, and the colours in these initial stanzas are rich and beautiful: 'blue surf' and 'his small emerald island'. Stanza two ends, however, with the phrase that tells us how the man has to emerge from his dream 'groggily groggily'; these words set to one side to emphasise that the dream has ended and a different setting is being introduced. The repetition of 'groggily' also serves to portray the idea that this is a reluctant, slow awakening.
The poet uses many poetic skills to get across the ideas of dreaming and longing for a faraway place. One of the first skills Grace Nicholls uses is the use of the senses in the line ‘the sound of blue surf’; this helps the reader imagine the sound of the sea and the sight of the sea in their heads. The poet personifies the line ‘sun surfacing defiantly’. This allows us to
