One of the main influences on Owens’s poetry was his meeting with Siegfried Sassoon, though Owen soon fashioned his own style and approach to the war. The characteristics of Owens’s poetry are the use of the rhyming of two words, alliteration, and assonance. Alfred Tennyson was born on 5th August 1809 in Somersby, Lincolnshire and died on the 6th October 1892 to later be buried in the poet’s corner in Westminster Abby. Tennyson was often regarded as the chief representative of the Victorian age in poetry, succeeding Wordsworth as poet laureate in 1850. Wilfred Owens’s poems are inspired by the horrors of his own experiences in World War One from 28th July 1914 to 4th November 1918, the day that he died 1 week before the armistice.
Keats in his poem “Ode to a Nightingale” uses precise diction to illustrate his morbid view on the body, seeing it as a decaying shell while in Whitman celebrates the body in “I Sing the Body Electric” through the use of repetition. Keats composed “Ode to a Nightingale” in 1819, shortly before his brother Tom died from tuberculosis with the realization that he in all likelihood had the infection and would suffer the same fate as his brother. The sorrowful acceptance of his death is evident in “Ode to a Nightingale”. The entire poem (except for the eighth line) is written in iambic pentameter.

My Ada, in that peaceful hour, A silent gaze was my farewell” (Poe “Tamerline and other poems”).
------------------------------------------------- Hugh Selwyn Mauberley: Introduction Ezra Pound’s 1920 poem “Hugh Selwyn Mauberley” is a landmark in the career of the great American modernist poet. In the poem, Pound uses two alter egos to discuss the first twelve years of his career, a period during which aesthetic and literary concerns fully engaged Pound’s attention. The poem reconstructs literary London of the Edwardian period, recreating the dominant feeling about what literature should be and also describing Pound’s own rebellious aesthetic beliefs. The poem also takes us to the catastrophe of the early twentieth century, World War I, and bluntly illustrates its effects on the literary world. The poem then proceeds to an “envoi,” or a send-off, and then to five poems told through the eyes of a second alter ego.
