The majority of the poem is made up of half rhymes, where the consonants are similar however the vowels are not. Only one couplet rhymes perfectly in the first stanza and it is the one that introduces the first taste of the. This couplet is found on lines 3-4 and state “At first, just one, a glossy purple clot/ Among others, red, green, hard as a knot.” The decision to exactly rhyme these two words invites the reader to compare them, comparing the hard and unripend berries to the soft and ripened berries. The only other full rhyme is found on lines 23-24, “That all the lovely canfuls smelt of rot. /Each year I hoped they'd keep, knew they would not.” This rhyme is when Heaney becomes cynical of the berries and learns that all things must die.
These second couplet is more like a sentence broken down in two lines that continue to give meaning to the next lines. So the rhyme scheme on the first stanza of “Fragile” is structured as ABCCDD as rhyming couplets. On the other hand, “Message in a Bottle” rhyme structure ABCDEFG makes the stanza as a whole rhyming. Something that
The last version of the poem contains two five-line stanzas, and the prior has only two three-line stanzas. From mixed symbols in the prior version, Whitman uses one stanza for the first character , the spider, and the second for the soul. We could see that the author added a lot. For example, even though the free verse structure has no metrical pattern, it contain patterns of another kind, such as repetition to impart emphasis, balance, and rhythm. Whitman's poem uses mark'd twice (lines 2 and 3), filament three times (line 4), O my soul twice (lines 6 and 10), and till three times (lines 9 and 10).
The remaining 6 lines is called the sestet and can have either two or three rhyming sounds, arranged in a variety of ways. The exact pattern of sestet rhymes (unlike the octave pattern) is flexible, and that's where the poems differ when it comes to their rhyme scheme. Milton's Sonnet 1 ends with the rhyme scheme C D C D C D, whilst On the Grasshopper

A HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE ORIGINS OF IRISH HIGH CROSSES The Cross of the Scriptures, one of the more famous high crosses of Ireland CONTENTS 1) Introduction 2) Previous Literature: a chronological summary 3) Critical Analysis 4) Conclusion 5) Bibliography Introduction High crosses can be found in their greatest numbers in Britain and Ireland, although the best examples, in terms of surviving high crosses, are to be seen in Ireland and are often therefore termed Celtic crosses; however this is an incorrect name commonly labelled upon these monuments. These free-standing crosses which embellish the ancient monasteries of Ireland are often viewed as Ireland’s biggest contribution to Western Art in the Middle Ages. The crosses of Ireland and Britain are practically the only elaborate free-standing monuments of the early Middle Ages in all the west of Europe. Following the fall of the Roman Empire there was a lack of monumental work on any large scale, at least as the evidence suggests. The construction of the cross is quite simple and whilst there are numerous pieces of elaborate design, these monuments generally all comprise a base, a shaft, sometimes with a ringed head, and a capstone.

The ABCB pattern simply means that the ending of the 2nd line rhymes with the ending of the 4th line, such as loitering and sing, found in the first stanza. Further, the poem is written largely in ‘iambic
Blake uses a quatrain, which is a rhyming scene that has four line stanzas. The timing of the day was also a factor, and perhaps the most important reason, for the poem’s complete differences. Wordsworth wrote his poem in the morning hence the line “The beauty of the morning”, and at this time of day it would have been silent and had a certain amount of tranquillity. On the other hand, Blake wrote his
Irish Culture The three cultures I was really happy to learn I was related to were Italian, Irish, and Indian. The three big I's. So I did some research on all three of them because I could only do one topic. Out of all three of them I found Irish to stand out to me better than Italian and Indian. So this is what I found.
