The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock: The Pitiful Prufrock
Number of words: 1293 - Number of pages: 5.... a suspended moment of realization of one man's life, "spread out against
the sky". The imagery of the patient represents Prufrock's self-examination.
Furthermore, the imagery of the "etherised patient" denotes a person waiting for
treatment. It seems this treatment will be Prufrock's examination of himself and
his life. Prufrock repeats his invitation and asks the reader to follow him
through a cold and lonely setting that seems to be the Prufrock's domain. The
imagery of the journey through the city is described as pointed to lead the
reader (and more accur .....

paste it together in a different collage...”. In this poem, Maxine Kumin, uses

“The Longing to be Saved”, is a dream, where her barn catches fire. “In
and out of dreams as thin as acetate.” She visualizes herself getting the

Housman's "To An Athlete Dying Young"
Number of words: 1631 - Number of pages: 6.... the race
We chaired you through the market place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high. (Housman 967).
Stanza two describes a much more somber procession. The athlete is being
carried to his grave. In Leggett's opinion, "The parallels between this
procession and the former triumph are carefully drawn" (54). The reader
should see that Housman makes another reference to "shoulders" as an
allusion to connect the first two stanzas:
Today, the road all runners come,
Shoulder high w .....

Dickinson's "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" And "I Heard A Fly Buzz When I Died"
Number of words: 622 - Number of pages: 3.... the Ground- The Roof was scarcely visible- The
Cornice in the Ground-" (913). Although the poem does not directly say it,
it is highly probable that this grave is the woman's own. It is also
possible the woman's body already rests beneath the soil in a casket. If
this is at all accurate, then her spirit or soul may be the one who is
looking at the "house." Spirits and souls usually mean there is an
afterlife involved.
It isn't until the sixth and final stanza where the audience obtains
conclusive evidence that "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" believes in
a .....

"The Princess, The Knight, And The Dragon" By Malarkey - Poetry Analysis
Number of words: 347 - Number of pages: 2.... The princess is directly contrasted by the characters of the maid and
the knight. Where the princess follows her code of noble action and is
punished, the knight and maid undertake unchivalrous actions and are
rewarded. Both the maid and knight follow the natural instinct that is
ignored by Miranda. Faced with the same threat the maid and the knight
both react in a logical manner. They see that there is little chance of
being in any way triumphant over Faggon, and violate the code of nobility
for something that is more important to them, their lives. .....

Ozymandias
Number of words: 630 - Number of pages: 3.... It is ironic that the words inscribed on the pedestal "Look on my works. . . and despair!" reflect the evidence of the next line, "Nothing beside remains," that is, there is nothing left of the reign of the greatest king on earth.One immediate image is found in the second line, "trunkless legs.". One good comparison may be when the author equates the passions of the statue's frown, sneer, and wrinkled lip to the "lifeless things" remaining in the "desart." Another is when Shelley compares the "Works" of with "Nothing beside remains."

Differences Between 18th Century Literature And Romantic Poetry Seen Through The Works From Alexander Pope And John Keats
Number of words: 1307 - Number of pages: 5.... her engagement to Lord Petre. Most of
Pope's efforts here were written with time. Now, Keats has romantically
serenaded his reader with descriptive lust and desire, which can be compared
with popes' efforts by the difference in eighteenth century literature and
romantic poems, their descriptive natures and ideas they portray to the reader
through their writing.
Pope has written an eighteenth-century poem which he calls, "An Hero-
Comical Poem." This poem has exalted an over all sense of worthlessness for
common rules. The mentioning of Achilles and the e .....
