In the first stanza, the poem opens by portraying the warm days of early autumn in their finest, representing a mother’s pregnancy and the birth of a new life. Newly-born autumn and the “maturing” sun are personified as “conspiring… how to load and bless / With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run” (3-4), closely associating young autumn with the aging sunlight while alluding to the Christian belief that the father God, through his son Jesus, blesses those who take the path of the righteous with the “fruits” of joy and peace. It is curious that Keats would use the word “conspire” with such positive intentions on part of autumn and the sun, suggesting a sort of kind-spirited wittiness that is common among the nymphs and mythical creatures of Greek and Roman lore. Keats goes on to write that autumn and the sun “bend with apples the mossed cottage-trees” (5); one would not expect something as short and stumpy as an orchard tree to grow something as rich as apples, providing an implied sense of irony and an appreciation that life “knows no bounds,” as one would put it. Keats expands this idea of growth being a merciful bounty by using the olfactory and gustatory imagery of providing “flowers for the bees” (9) and “fill[ing] all
When the speaker says, “Fifty springs are little too room”, (8) the writing gives a tone and a sense of hurriedness to the reader. “About the woodlands I go/To see the cherry hung with snow” (7-8). These two lines are parallel to the first stanza. The speaker is declaring that he will go both in the spring and in the winter. The fact that the speaker is seeing the cherry trees more often helps Housman’s idea that a person should see his/her favorite items more than once in the short amount of time left.
The use of words after the midnight storm and the sunrise on the third day - rolling of the clouds, the glittering of the stars, the coming out of the sun over the snow covered valley, the description of the snow - point to the picturesque. Psychological penetration is displayed in the thoughts and actions of John Oakhurst when the party halts on the first day. It draws a connection between the reader and the character and the gloomy natural scene gives a clue to
Spring Hail Analysis Spring Hail is a poem written by Les Murray. A literal interpretation of the poem tells the story of young boy and his pony and their journey through the aftermath of a storm. The repeated refrain “this is for spring and hail, that you may remember: for a boy long ago and a pony that could fly” allows a hint of nostalgia to seep into the consciousness of the audience while reading the poem and allows the audience to understand that the poem is a recollection of past events. The lilting voice of the poem and lack of rhyming scheme also means the poem can be easily taken as simply a vividly written narrative. But further contemplation reveals the poem to be a lyrical analogy.

Another example would be how on measure 128 the beginning of the piece is repeated but in a minor key, right after the long fermata, it changes in to a major key B flat major. At bar 35 the key D+ now modulates in to the dominant key A+, then after at 60 the key changes in to A-.After measure 66 there are different variations of the 4 note motif Beethoven likes to use the subdominant key in this case G+ in a special place, and you can see that he uses it very well close to the beginning of the coda. Like parts of a forest illuminated by the shifting sunlight that peaks through a cloudy sky, this proto-Impressionist piece repeats its quiet yet enchanted melody, with variations in pitch and length. The constant triplet figure in sixteenths in the beginning is found throughout the majority of the
Yet another chapter in How to Read Literature Like a Professor, that I could relate to this novel was “Flights of Fancy.” Freedom and escape is often known to be symbolized by something physically flying within a story. Flying also can symbolize returning home or returning to our roots. In this particular novel, ducks are what are flying. At one point, Holden asks his cab driver where the birds go during the winter and the driver replies that they fly away from the cold. He says that that is their problem.

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.
