Browning over-exaggerates the features and beauty of the nature of England almost making them come alive with her use of personification. The poem is very descriptive and also plays on all the five senses. She shows the sense of taste with the use of the word ‘sweeter’ in line 12, ‘ Made sweeter for the step upon the grass’ and also line 20, ‘Fed full of noises by invisible streams,’ the sense of hearing is shown using the word ‘noises.’ Browning also used the repetition to give the reader a sense of continuity. She shows that nature is evergreen and will be omnipresent in this world. This can be seen with the repetition of words like ‘the’ and ‘and’.
Just as she used time of day in The Violets, she uses seasons to symbolise a time in her life. Autumn symbolises her middle age. In this stanza she paints a grim picture of her innocence lost as she has become aware of age and death by saying “we stand, two friends of middle age by your parents’ grave in silence among the avenues of the dead.” The reason she has chosen to set this part of the poem at the grave of her friend’s parents because of her love for her own parents, and she deeply empathises with her friend’s loss. It is typical in her poetry that, when the present becomes too miserable, Harwood will transcend the current time and return to a happier memory. However in this poem she cannot find a happier memory and recalls a dream instead, “I dreamed once long ago, that we walked among day-bright flowers.” Her use of positive imagery such as the “day-bright flowers” lightens the mood and achieves the same effect of the memories in The Violets, as she stops thinking of death and causes the reader to forget the unhappy nature of the initial memory and be emotionally moved by the warmth of the following memory where she is “secure in my father’s arms.” In her poems The Violets, Father and Child and At Mornington Gwen Harwood demonstrates through her use of memories, her loss of innocence, the love for her parents and how quickly time moves.
He starts talking about the flowers and how beautiful they are, and this makes Elisa feel beautiful and valued. A stranger is noticing her “place”, her hard work. When he offers to take the chrysanthemums out of the garden, off the farm, some place to grow, she is elated. “Beautiful” (690). “Oh beautiful” (690).
In this poem, Blake’s character becomes overcome with nostalgia when he sees that his longed-for garden is no longer present. William Blake’s sorrowful poem, “The Garden of Love,” depicts many intellectual metaphors about a love that was lost, and hoping to be found. “I went to the Garden of Love” lets us know the setting of poem. New flowers sprouting in the garden represent a metaphor for “The Garden of Love” because it resembles the sprouting of affection. From here, we can figure out that the Garden of love is a metaphor for a woman, or Blake’s character’s love.

The first and last poems evoked sad but happy emotions towards the end of the poem. Her poems evoke emotion, through chronological order, sad then happy or happy then sad. The poem "I am the Ocean" is a different story all together. At first the poem appears confusting because it lacked clear direction and purpose. However, as I continue to read, it is apparent that she is referring to herself as all these different things such as the ocean which calls down the moon so she can rest in its light and dream.
The words were somewhat difficult to understand since this was written in the 1800s. The phrase “when thou art gone, I hate the sound (though those who speak be dear) Which breaks the lingering echo of the tone Thy voice of music leaves upon my ear.” Images: Did the poet create strong images? What could you see, hear, smell, taste, or feel? The poet created strong images of the bright, blue sky and the quiet stars. There was solitude that she created with her words that was very powerful.
When Evyn first saw Eleni, with her red lipstick, black pants, and high heels, she thought Eleni looked nothing like a college professor and a mother. Evyn made the assumption that she went partying every night. That is an example of her being judgemental. After her father, Birdie, reminded Evyn that her new combination lock was 5, 10, 15; she forgot, making her forgetful. An example of Evyn being unintelligent was when her so-called friends, Andrea’s group, calls her Evelyn and doesn’t talk to her unless it’s to ask about updates with Ajax, she doesn’t realize that they’re just using her.
She took it.” Hughes show that Mary is now living in the past while Bill can’t get over the fact that she looks so old and was determined to let her know he was doing well. Hughes uses the words “old and young” to show the contrast between not only their ages, but the amount of time that past. Hughes uses “Space and people. She lost sight of Bill.” Shows that the connection between Bill and Mary was lost again without them getting everything out. Only after the bus door closed she could speak but it was too late, he didn’t hear her.
Did these devices help create imagery or communicate the author's feelings? The poet used simile when using the word like to compare her to a night of cloudless climes and starry skies.” That showed the importance of his feelings for the woman and he also uses rhyme to alliteration to make the poem flow. Emotion: What emotion was the author trying to express? The author is trying to express the way he feels about the woman. He compares her to nature and describes her as soft.
