faculties are diminished and we can no longer easily withstand the normal blows
of life. He regards his body as a temple- a "Bare ruined choir[s]"- where sweet
birds used to sing, but it is a body now going to ruin.
In Sonnet 116, love is seen as the North Star, the fixed point of
guidance to ships lost upon the endless sea of the world. It is the point of
reference and repose in this stormy, troubled world, "an ever-fixed mark That
looks on tempests and is never shaken;..."

The Flea: Analysis
Number of words: 815 - Number of pages: 3.... as sex. It is the authors comment that they have intercourse within the flea but that is more than the two of them do together. Saying to her that this would not be adultery suggests that she has a strong faith and is ethically bound to abide by the principals of her religion. His argument is to put down the religion by saying even the flea is mixing our blood, so why shouldn't we? That suggests that the flea is one of God's creatures and so it should follow the principals of God as well because it was created by God, so the mixing of their blood isn't wrong .....

pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,” is an example of images that

land” and “With tremulous cadence slow, and bring...” uses an auditory

senses. Sweet can mean angelic or precious to qualify to be an visual
image, or it can mean almost like a melodious tune.
Illusions are used in this poem as deception for the girl that the

Number of words: 1236 - Number of pages: 5.... self would likewise find itself a voice. A number of passages strongly resonate with Whitman's sexuality in their strongly pleasurable sensualities.

Number of words: 1109 - Number of pages: 5.... his mind. Line three, "And
that one talent which is death to hide" is an allusion to the biblical
context of the bible. Line three refers to the story of Matthew XXV, 14-30
where a servant of the lord buried his single talent instead of investing
it. At the lord's return, he cast the servant into the "outer darkness"

casted over him and darkened his reality of life and the world. Like the
servant, Milton was flung into the .....

America, as seen by the French, was a land of golden opportunities available to every child regardless of social standing. It was the basis for our country to survive.
