She portrays her personal voice through the use of sonnets, specifically Petrarchan. It is commonly used by males to woo their unattained love. Both composers portray love as idealistic, however it is interfered with by life. It is a universal theme shown through the different time periods. Nevertheless, Elizabeth Barrett Browning advocates that the strength of love can help overcome the obstacles.
Some of that language includes, “Kingdom by the sea.” It is important to understand that Poe’s really wants people to be thinking happy and sweet thoughts. With the way in which Poe describes “Annabel Lee” it makes it easy to understand how the angels of heaven could be jealous of the couple and try to destroy
She feels love is supposed to make you feel safe in the way religion can bring security and bring happiness to people. In this next line she also explains her idea of love in an almost cliché manner, “When love lights the way, there is joy in the day/And all troubles are lighter to bear/Love is gentle and kind (like a lamb), and through love you will find/There’s an answer to your every prayer!”. I compare this poem to Blake’s “The Lamb” because she speaks of love in such an innocent, almost “too good to be true” and naïve type of way that you almost want to tell her that it doesn’t work that way all the time. There aren’t any “hidden messages” or underlying hints that she wants her readers to figure out. She wants us to feel it and I know this in the end of her poem when she writes “In the wonderful MAGIC OF LOVE” and because of this line I have no doubt in my mind that she was madly in love when she wrote this poem.
Let me count the ways.” (Line 1 Sonnet 43) The use of first person, authenticates that both poems are written for a personal response, this however cannot be seen in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ apart from when the characters speak. The use of alliteration in ‘Sonnet 43’, confirms that the poem was written for Browning’s lover. The repetition of “I love thee...” Shows it’s a personal poem for her true love. However, ‘Valentine’ could be interpreted as an open poem to allow the readers to understand the experiences Duffy has faced. The use of “...we are, for as long as we are.” (Line 16 and 17) Shows that Duffy is inviting her readers into the poem to help reflect upon how she feels.
Philip Larkin and Dannie Abse have very different and contrasting attitudes to relationships. On the whole, Larkin presents the concepts of love and marriage as very superficial and meaningless, whereas Abse appears to be less such nihilistic and more open and positive about such topics. Throughout Wild Oats, Philip Larkin uses various literary techniques, such as imagery, structure and symbolism to convey certain aspects of love and the passing of time. Larkin's poetry often relates to the social and cultural views upon love and marriage in his time. In Wild Oats It explains that a person, over the course of time, comes to realise that his greatest desires of love, are unattainable, and second best things will have to suffice.
On the contrary Charge is patriotic with Tennyson celebrating the courage and obedience of the soldiers – this can be seen in his use of ‘glory, honour/noble’. This positive representation of conflict could be linked to Tennyson’s role of Poet Laureate under Queen Victoria’s reign. Futility mimics a sonnet but the form is disrupted as Owen splits the poem in to two seven-line stanzas. As a sonnet is traditionally associated with love, Owen could be suggesting that the effectively with conflict their can be no love. An alternative interpretation could be that Owen uses the structure to show how conflict has cut short the life of the soldier – in the middle of his life.
He uses the phrase "What a world of merriment their melody foretells"(line 3) to exemplify the happiness and joy fullness of the bells. These bells are bright and soft, almost comforting. Poe also refers to heaven in the line "All the heavens, seem to twinkle"(line 7) to exaggerate the beauty and joy brought by these bells as he compares their noise to the twinkling of heaven. Poe also uses onomatopoeia in this section to help the readers actually hear the bells he is illustrating. He says "How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle"(line 4) to describe the delicate noise they make when they ring.
She sought refuge in the hills of England. She was very appreciative. She thought it was wealth. She thought of the undulating land as blessed or sacred as can be seen in parenthesis in line 14, ‘As if God’s finger touched but did not press.’ As a result of Browning’s Evangelist childhood, her poems were filled with biblical allusion. 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 written in sonnet form, which is important because sonnets are traditionally love poems. The Soldier by Rupert Brooke is a love poem for the England. The soldier is written in a voice that doesn’t represent just one soldier but the voice of all soldiers fighting for England. The repetition of using England a total of six times in the poem makes it more patriotic. The most important of the poem was his use of “under an English heaven” even after death the bond with England is strong.
An unwordable love for Papa Love is a kind of emotion comes from your heart that makes the life become more interesting. So, have you ever tried to use the words or sayings for expressing the love towards someone or even your parents? And how can you make that relationship become better?
