After Us

AAFTER US In this poem, the poet uses a surplus of imagery to allow the reader to fully see what she is trying to get us to picture. In the first line, she talks about how rain, which can be destructive or helpful, is seeping into a room where books and other material things reside. In the lines to follow, she writes about how everything that flourished under the sun, turned away to try and find the light that they so desperately need. This shows the destructive side to rain because it paints the picture of a dark day with rain falling and silencing all activities that happen during the day. In the second paragraph, the poet writes about a portrait, which has sketches of boats and barns and this creates the image of a perfect utopia where everything is peaceful and nothing has disturbed it. The paragraph that follows this peaceful picture, is where the foreboding and evil rain begins to make its appearance again. She writes about how everything that was ever thought of or invented or t

Fire and Ice

FFire and Ice

The speaker weighs up two different scenarios for the end of the world. Some people think the world will end in fire, whereas others think ice is more likely. Based on the speaker's experiences with desire, he or she tends to agree with those who believe fire is the more likely scenario. If the world were to end twice, however, the speaker feels that, based on his or her knowledge of human hatred, ice would be an equally powerful method of destruction—and would do the job sufficiently.

Thank You!!

The Poet

 TThe Poet The Poet is one among the essays of Emerson that was published in the first edition in 1844. In this essay, Emerson speaks about what a true poet is and how a true poet is able to express the thoughts and puts the words, what many people cannot do. In the epigraph, Emerson explains the qualities of a poet who penetrates deeply into the true nature of things around him. Later on the essay has been categorized into four paragraphs, giving the clear picture of what a true poet and his feelings is all about. In the first part of the essay, Emerson says that a poet represents humanity and that he could be called as the ‘Man of Beauty’ as the poet acknowledges interdependence between the material and spiritual world. Emerson says that the poet is more close to nature and unlike many of us who stay away from nature, a poet could feel and understand and explore and in turn expose the hidden secrets of nature to us. Emerson says that poetry is not something that was found some time b

Neglect

NNeglect In the sonnet "Disregard" by R.T. Smith, Smith writes in a passionate tone as he utilizes symbolism and an analogy to recount a story and pass on the difficulties of misfortune. The speaker interfaces his experience of losing an apple tree and the outcome of his experience to the lament and blame people go through when they think about their slip-ups and laments in the wake of losing a friend or family member. Upset on the grounds that the apple tree that he disregarded is presently gone, the speaker utilizes symbolism by inquiring as to whether what he will recollect will be "the fragrance of apple branches smoking in the wood oven" and afterward proceeds with his second thoughts saying " I ought to have hacked the dead appendages right on time." Through the speaker's considerations, he portrays the way toward adapting; we have positive recollections however we likewise consider what we fouled up to whatever we lost. Rather than confronting w
