He is saying that the sun is better looking than her eyes. Almost the entire poem says bad things about his mistress but at the end, in lines 13 & 14 “And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare” he contradicts himself by saying that he is in love with her no matter how insignificant she is. These are all good examples to show why this poem is an anti-love poem, even though at the end of it he says he loves her no matter what she looks like or how ugly she is. This shows many exaggerations the author used to make the poem
Nick see’s this as he points out that “there must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams” and also understands that this is “not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his (Gatsby’s) illusion. By having the narrator, the person whose eyes the reader views the situation through, say this and point out the unattainable fantasy of Gatsby’s dream, he is highlighting this symbolism to the audience and stressing the connection with the American dream. The achievement of Gatsby’s dream leaves a sense of disappointment as it is not as
It is funny that the two have done nothing of the sort in reality. The speaker implicitly requests the lady not to worry because at least that kind of canonization might happen in the future. Those foolish people will regard the hair and bones as things for doing miracle by the lovers; to the man, the miracle is a different one. He does regard that his beloved is a real miracle, however. He is writing the present poem to tell the truth to those who will read and know the reality of those future times when people will make nonsense myths out of such incidents.
Not only do lines 1-4 compare the beauty of the youth to roses, but it also describes the uncertainties of a person’s life. Like the death of a rose that just bloomed, people can die before what others believe is their time to go. Herrick uses the first stanza to persuade readers to do what they want to do now rather than later because they may never get the chance again. In the second stanza, Herrick compares a setting sun to death. Every morning starts a new day, and as the sun rises it brings everthing closer to the end.
Other noticeable things are what you feel, smell and believe it or not taste. But all those things come together and make this beach the most wonderful place. There is not much to dislike at the beach, except maybe a bad case of sunburn and everyone hates bad sunburn. Going to the beach is like the first warm day after a long and frigid winter. Overall a trip to the beach can be a calming getaway from the stress and the everyday pressures of life.
“The Lottery” teaches the reader the danger of blindly following tradition. “The Lottery” takes place on a beautiful mid summer’s day, which usually represents the height of life. Since this story is about a tradition and the dangers that come with following tradition, it is ironic that the setting is during the summer. Readers are under the assumption that this story will be sunshine and rainbows, however, as they progress, the story takes an unexpected twist that readers do not expect. Perhaps one of the most powerful elements about tradition is the capacity to encourage stubbornness among those who practice it.
The effect of the long stanzas on responders reflects the passing of time and the flooding memories. Memories triggered by the meeting a childhood friend and the realisation that the person can transcend death because of memories, love, family and friendship. Love and friendships enshrined in memory will protect the persona against time and mortality. No change has occurred in the persona’s stubborn and determined nature — “I could walk on water” to “in airy defiance of nature”. However, she now realises that “no hand will save her”, but the poem ends in peace and acceptance, as death will be followed by eternity - “waters that bear me away forever”.
Daisy and Tom have a child and a lovely house together. Although Daisy is not in love with Tom as she once was. She has just fallen out of being in love. As the summer was ending, the nature dying, and Gatsby’s dreams crumbling, so was Gatsby’s life. Towards the closure of the novel, Gatsby was waiting for Daisy to call him as he lay out in the pool.
Elle comes across another man who treats her well, supports her decisions and hopes for the best for her. Unfortunately Elle does not see this in him because her focus and dream is still her ex-boyfriend. Similarly, in Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby, the American dream becoming impossible is depicted through two characters, Gatsby and Myrtle. Gatsby and Myrtle are both holding on to the dream of being with their lovers and do not update or modify their dreams. The lack of updating their dreams leads to disappointment when their dreams do not come true.
The past is the past and clearly Gatsby is unable to accept that fact. He is creating his own love for Daisy and falling for her more, bringing him to his downfall. Gatsby knows that, "when he kisses this girl, and forever weds his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind will never romp again like the mind of God" (110). Daisy feels similarly for Gatsby but, "there must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams-not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion" (95). Gatsby is creating his own persona and is in his own world, obsessing
