Partly, this is due to the fact that his works were “lost” until the 1800’s. To this day, they only exist in a single manuscript, the Cotton MS Nero A.x., which was in a private collection for a couple hundred years. When it resurfaced in the late 1800’s, this manuscript was noted for its poetic prowess and entered academic circulation. The man behind this, though, is entirely unknown – there isn’t even a widely accepted speculation. Hence, this is the reason for the
Forge, (interpreted as a verb and/or a noun) suggests that it is the act of completing a task or belonging to a sense of place. Whereas, The Forge is a combination of a definite article with that of a common noun. Also, these poems could also be both the poets answer as to why they are deciding to forge an identity as an Irish poet. The structures of these poems are extremely different, Montague divides his poem into five tercets whilst Heaney structures his into 14 lines: a sonnet, alas, it should be noted that this is not immediately recognisable because he does not follow the typical rhyme sequence a sonnet usually has. The Forge, is split into an octave and a sestet.
In 1501, Venetian printer Ottaviano Petrucci introduced to the music world the first collection of polyphonic compositions from moveable type. The book, entitled Odhecaton (Greek for one hundred songs) contained songs, sacred and secular, representing the compositional and more specifically contrapuntal masters of the time including Ockeghem, Obrecht, Josquin des Prez, and many of their esteemed colleagues. One composer’s work, however, was not included within any of Petrucci’s publications despite the fact that the previously named composers would have considered him a mentor in his field. Guillaume Dufay was indeed a leading light for composers during the 15th and 16th sixteenth centuries and whose life marked the beginning of the Renaissance period. So why was Dufay’s music seemingly ignored by many of his close successors?
Lawrence Morton, in a study of the origins of The Rite, records that in 1907–08 Stravinsky set to music two poems from Sergey Gorodetsky's collection Yar. Another poem in the anthology, which Stravinsky did not set but is likely to have read, is "Yarila" which, Morton observes, contains many of the basic elements from which The Rite of Spring developed, including pagan rites, sage elders, and the propitiatory sacrifice of a young maiden: "The likeness is too close to be coincidental". [10][11] Stravinsky himself gave contradictory accounts of the genesis of The Rite. In a 1920 article he stressed that the musical ideas had come first, that the pagan setting had been suggested by the music rather than the other way round. [12] However, in his 1936 autobiography he described the origin of the work thus: "One day [in 1910], when I was finishing the last pages of L'Oiseau de Feu in St Petersburg, I had a fleeting vision ...

Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself” was rewritten repeatedly, not reaching its final form until 1881, nor did it have the title "Song of Myself," until the 1881 edition, (Whitman’s, 2009). Previous editions were titled "Poem of Walt Whitman, an American" and simply "Walt Whitman," (Whitman’s, 2009). “The poem's shifting title suggests something of what Whitman was about in this piece,” (Whitman’s, 2009). “This poem celebrates the poet’s self, but, while the ‘I’ is the poet himself, it is, at the same time, universalized,” (Song, 2009). In the very beginning of Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself,” he says “I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you,” (Whitman, n.d.).
He labored in near obscurity for much of his life, only becoming recognized as a preeminent poet in the 1960s and 1970s. Only now is his work being
Poetry and Figurative Language Paper John Kearns ENG 340 April 3, 2014 Rick Hanson Poetry and Figurative Language Paper Select three poems from this week’s readings, and identify imagery, metaphors, rhyme and structure. • Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper in which you define imagery, metaphors, rhyme, and structure, provide examples from the readings, and discuss the importance of figurative language in poetry and how it communicates to the reader. Hart Crane, “My Grandmother’s Love Letters” (p. 295) Imagery: I picture it starting with an image of a dark night, then goes to that of a winter snowy day, then to a retirement facility. Rhythms: Figurative Languages: Simile Metaphors: stars to memory; sound of the rain to the pitying of laughter There are no stars tonight But those of memory Yet how much room for memory there is In the loose girdle of soft rain There is even room enough For the letters of my mother’s mother Elizabeth That have been pressed so long Into that corner of the roof That they are brown and soft And liable to melt as snow Over the greatness of such space Steps must be gentle It is all hung by an invisible white hair It trembles as birch limbs webbing the air And I ask myself: “Are your fingers long enough to play Old keys that are but echoes: Is the silence strong enough To carry back the music to its source And back to you again As though to her?” Yet I would lead my grandmother by the hand Through much of what she would not understand; And so I stumble. And the rain continues of the roof With such a sound of gently pitying laughter.
Written in free verse, this poem has twenty-two lines, with four stanzas. The first stanza is the longest, bearing eleven verses, the second and third are quatrains, and the last stanza is a tercet carrying just three verses. With no apparent structure, the poet creates rhythm using repetition. There are many anaphoras, beginning in the first verse with 'I shall', which is used throughout the poem and the majority of the lines begin the same, with 'And' being used the most frequently. Parallelism is used first when the speaker states she will wear a red hat that 'doesn't go and doesn't suit me' (line 2), establishing a melodic tone to the poem.
