The words in this poem were very easy to understand. One phrase that really stood out for me was, “Where thoughts serenely sweet express how pure, how dear their dwelling place.” Images: Did the poet create strong images? What could you see, hear, smell, taste, or feel? The poet did create strong images. I could visualize that the person he is talking about is the most beautiful individual ever.
He uses the phrase "What a world of merriment their melody foretells"(line 3) to exemplify the happiness and joy fullness of the bells. These bells are bright and soft, almost comforting. Poe also refers to heaven in the line "All the heavens, seem to twinkle"(line 7) to exaggerate the beauty and joy brought by these bells as he compares their noise to the twinkling of heaven. Poe also uses onomatopoeia in this section to help the readers actually hear the bells he is illustrating. He says "How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle"(line 4) to describe the delicate noise they make when they ring.

Even as he pulls on Prospero’s robes, he sings a beautiful little song. Ariel stands in for all that is delightful and good in the natural world, having loyalty where he should, but still cherishing the freedom of the natural world. Ariel is Prospero’s spirit servant.

As the poem opens, we are greeted with the image of a lady as she watches her child “chase pigeons” and “kick at the leaves piled high”, giving us every impression of a healthy and contented young boy, adding to the list of things that the mother should be satisfied with yet our central character isn’t. The reasons for her feelings are carefully depicted in her surroundings. An example would be the pot of Gardenias. When Gardenias are in bloom, they are rather pleasant to the eyes and the nose. However, after a while, when they begin to wither, they release an unpleasant smell.
The author sets the mood in a happy way when a calamity should be miserable. The poet uses similes to make the tone more joyful. “Dogs barked and the children sprouted like dandelions on my lawn,” is a perfect example which compares the dogs and children to dandelions. It means that they appeared very quickly just like how dandelions grow really fast. Dandelions are also known to be happy flowers so this sets the mood in a more soothing and calming place.
His wonderful novellas The Pearl, Cannery Row, The Red Pony, and Of Mice and Men not only introduce readers to a fascinating, realistic cast of characters, make the hills and seacoast of California and Mexico come to life, but also tell intriguing stories of the lives of real people. Steinbeck's characters are not the rich men and women of California's boom days, but are the homeless, the migrant workers, the poor fishermen, and the farmers. However, each of these people has a deceptively simple, but important story to tell, a story filled with love and pain. The stories tell us not only of the lives of the poor
It consists of the nude Venus and Cupid. The painting shows Cupid, stung by bees, complaining to mother, Venus, of the pain by small bees. Lucas had his friend, Melanchton, translate the text to him and gave him Venus’ response to her child as,”you are too small and your arrows are much more painful to victims.” The translation of the history allowed him to paint Venus and Cupid with strong sense of conflict. He showed Venus’ pale white body stand out in an attractive pose. Lucas’ vision of this painting defined his interests in the human body.
At the same time, it his songs relate to all of us. Maybe at one point in life we've been in his place. The song "Smile" is the one I related to mostly, because it talks how a smile from a really beautiful girl that you like, hypnotizes you and leaves you breathless. He has done a couple of
The speaker states that his spirits were instantly uplifted when he saw the daffodils "tossing their heads in sprightly dance", and still to this day whenever the speaker feels " vacant or in pensive mood" he remembers the daffodils and he instantly is happy again. Throughout the poem we see Wordsworth use simple language devices such as similes and personification to convey his ideas about the link between man and nature. In the first line of the poem he states "I wander'd lonely as a cloud / that floats over vales and hills". Here Wordsworth compares himself to a natural object. Wordsworth also constantly personifies the daffodils throughout the poem "I saw a crowd, a host" "dancing" "tossing their heads".
