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...

The Divine Comedy

TThe Divine Comedy

In Dante's Inferno, he winds up lost in the woods and understands that he has kicked the bucket. Virgil helps him on his excursion, going with him all through Inferno and Purgatorio. He experiences the abhorrences occurring inside Inferno and goes through its nine circles. We will investigate every one of the circles of hellfire and decide their particulars and contrasts, just as take a gander at Dante's Inferno—Satan himself. Purgatorio is a piece of The Divine Comedy wherein Dante and Virgil travel through the seven patios of the mountain, every one of them addressing a destructive sin. In Paradiso, the principle character, with the direction of his dearest Beatrice, travel through the nine divine circles of Heaven. Rather than Inferno and Purgatorio, in the last piece of the sonnet the hero experiences temperances, not sins.

Thank You!!

Song of Myself

SSong Of Myself “Song of Myself,” the longest poem in Leaves of Grass, is a joyous celebration of the human self in its most expanded, spontaneous, self-sufficient, and all-embracing state as it observes and interacts with everything in creation and ranges freely over time and space. The bard of the poem, speaking in the oracular tones of the prophet, affirms the divinity and sacredness of the entire universe, including the human body, and he asserts that no part of the universe is separate from himself—he flows into all things and is all things. The “I” of the poem is quite clearly, then, not the everyday self, the small, personal ego that is unique and different from all other selves. Rather, the persona who speaks out in such bold terms is the human self experiencing its own transcendental nature, silently witnessing all the turbulent activity of the world while itself remaining detached: “Apart from the pulling and hauling stands what I am, . . . Both in and out of the game and wat...

A Farewell

AA Farewell  Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem “A Farewell” beautifully describes the fact that death is something which will come to everyone, be it rich or poor. No one on earth can escape death. We all feel that after we die people will be sad and mourn. Yes it is true that the people we love will be disheartened but their life will be the usual and the nature will also remain the same. Nature continues the way as though it was unaffected by our death. Rivulet for example at last merges into the river, becomes one with the river, similarly death which is a natural process makes us one with God. The line “Thy tribute wave delivers” reminds of a funeral which is carried out after the death of a person. The poem is expressed in a negative and depressing tone and expresses the fact that the moment an individual dies even his or her family is no longer interested in keeping the body with them. Lord Tennyson’s poem has a deep meaning because it explains the timidity of our existence. It exp...
