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. He continues the first stanza by personifying a flower with the ability to smile – the bloom, and he states, “And this same flower that smiles to-day/ To-morrow will be dying” (lines 3-4).

It is a very simple and beautiful poem with an enchanting tone. This poem is an ode to spring and to the maturing of young girl into women, which was a perfect comparison and communicated the message of the poem very well. In this poem, the author describes all the different changes that take place as the spring season arrives. The grass is greener, the flowers are blossoming, the moon is pale, and the twilights are striking. These are all things that we associate with the spring season.
In the opening stanza, the composer clearly outlines that the poem has a carpe diem theme which is Latin for "Seize the Day." The line “Gather ye rose-buds while ye may” is a metaphor for living life to the fullest while the image of roses suggests a number of things such as being symbolic for sensuality and the fulfillment of earthly pleasures, Roses being vegetation they are tied to the cycles of nature and represent change and the unstableness of life. Like the "virgins," the roses are buds which are fresh, youthful and full of life, being youthful, like life however is challenging with many decisions to be made. The poem shows that life is short and life is such that one day one experiences joy which is suggested in the line “And this same flower that smiles today” and the next day death symbolized by the setting of the sun and the line “tomorrow will be dying”. Again this relates back to the thesis that change can happen rapidly or it could take years even
Loving for Lovedu Essay In Looking for Lovedu by Ann Jones, Ann Jones and her companion Kevin Muggleton set out to find the land of the Lovedu people, ruled using values of women. They both have different views on life and values. Muggleton believes that a trip is about the destination where the faster they get there the better. On the other hand, Jones feels that the journey is more meaningful, she wants to be able to “stop and smell the roses.” I agree with both of them. When I go on trips I always love the ride and the sites, boarding the plane, or whatever the case may be, but I also think it’s rewarding when you arrive at your destination.
The first stanza depicts a “melancholy” setting where “frail” violets excite the persona’s recollection of a poignant childhood experience. In correspondence with Elizabeth Lawson’s psychoanalytical assertion, ‘Harwood interweaves past and present’, the reoccurring flower motif of ‘spring violets’ arises in both memory and reality, epitomising the persona’s acceptance of the present’s ‘dusk and cold’ contrasted with the childhood memories of a ‘hot afternoon’. The persona’s period of transition is symbolised by the rich imagery of the sunset being “striped like ice-cream”. The use of simile is effective at both describing the dusk as well as alluding to images of childhood (i.e. ice-cream), reflecting the beginning of the persona’s introspective retreat into her thoughts.
“Rappaccini’s Daughter” Essay In the story, “Rappaccini’s Daughter”, Nathaniel Hawthorne uses light imagery to compare and contrast the the clean innocent soul of Beatrice, and Giovanni’s love for her, to Rappaccini’s evil science and its effect upon Beatrice. Hawthorne used light imagery to describe the love between Giovanni and Beatrice. The first time Giovanni hears her voice, he describes it as “rich as a Tropical Sunset.” Hawthorne conveys Giovanni’s love of simply hearing Beatrice’s voice through Giovanni imagining “perfumes heavily delectable” often only hearing her speak. The light and pleasurable imagery is used to illustrate the beginning of Giovanni’s infatuation with Beatrice—furthermore, as he looks upon Beatrice for the first time, she is described as “redundant with life, health, and energy.” Giovanni’s admiration of Beatrice’s qualities helps to enforce his obsession with her in his mind, and shows how he sees her as the as the essence of perfection. Toward the end of the story, Hawthorne reveals part of Beatrice’s soul through Giovanni’s recollection of many holy and passionate out gush of [“Beatrice’s heart”] Due to the fact that Beatrice’s innocence is “visible… to [Giovanni’s] mental eye, Hawthorne shows how much Giovanni cares for Beatrice by displaying that he has insight into her soul.
The Faerie Queene Edmund Spenser The Bower of Bliss and The Garden of Adonis by Ian Mackean So passeth, in the passing of a day, Of mortall life the leafe, the bud, the flowre, Ne more doth flourish after first decay, That earst was sought to decke both bed and bowre, Of many a Ladie, and many a Paramowre: Gather therefore the Rose, whilest yet is prime, For soone comes age, that will her pride deflowre: Gather the Rose of love, whilest yet is time, Whilest loving thou mayest loved be with equall crime. [Edmund Spenser (I552-I599): The Faerie Queene II.XII.75] The Bower of Bliss[1] and the Garden of Adonis[2] might look similar from a distance; their geographical form is certainly similar, and the tour on which Spenser takes us seems to follow the same kind of route. But their ostensible similarity, and their juxtaposition in two adjacent books of The Faerie Queene only serve to highlight their differences. The two gardens represent very different qualities of human life, and Spenser indicates the differences visually in his description of the gardens, verbally in the words he uses in these descriptions, and dramatically in the kinds of activity that take place in the gardens. The first distinction to be made is between the proportion of Art to Nature that has gone into the construction of the gardens.
