.... fear of the Jews who stood there in this place of horror. Yevtushenko makes himself an Israelite slave of Egypt and a martyr who died for the sake of his religion. In lines 7-8, he claims that he still bars the marks of the persecution of the past. There is still terrible persecution of the Jews in present times because of their religion. These lines serve as the transition from the Biblical and ancient examples he gives to the allusions of more recent acts of hatred. The lines also allude to the fact that these Russian Jews who were murdered at Babi Yar were .....

.... in the two poems. Though, both authors use them differently to show how love should be attained. Love should be attained by use of the heart. This theory is the premise of Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love." The Shepherd in his poem offers the world to his Love and everything with it. He is an old man and hopes to win the girl's heart. Notice the word ‘hopes.' If these delights thy mind may move, Then live with me and be my love. And so the last two lines of the poem end. Putting these .....

.... "The whitest pouring of eternal light." She was like a small shaft of light pouring into the dark room of his life. A reoccurring image is found quite often throughout the poem which adds a crisp flavor to the piece. The word "gold" is used frequently. This image refers to the princess. It reflects and portrays everything about her. She is gold; a rich, precious gem, unavailable to the poet. The continued reference to this image symbolizes everything he lacks, but yearns for. The poet elevates the princess to the value of gold, depicting exactly how out o .....

.... war is...you shoot a fellow down you'd treat if met where any bar is..." In this Hardy speaks how war twists the mind, and also makes you kill people you have no personal vendetta against. In Reconciliation, Whitman shows the devastation of war. In a war, you kill someone and even if you win, you lose. Whitman describes a man mourning over the death of his foe. He rejoices over the ultimate death of war "Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage must...be utterly lost." He also feels great remorse over his so called enemy's death "For my enemy.. .....

.... place. “The sea is calm, the tide is full” and “Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,” is an example of images that appeal to the visual sense. While “ Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land” and “With tremulous cadence slow, and bring...” uses an auditory sense. “Come to the window, sweet is the night air,” can apply to both 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 man is trying t .....

.... 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 .....

.... unfairly ruled citizens of Ireland, who are poor because the do not have their own country. He then tells how no outcome of the war would do any harm to Britain, The Irish were the only ones with something to lose. And, that nothing would make the Irish forget the war. They would never be as happy as they were before they fought. Yeats’ then writes “Nor law, nor duty bade me fight, Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,” which was portraying that the Irish were not forced to fight, but it was a custom for a country to fight for there motherland. The pilot then .....

.... 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." shows the read .....
