Explanation Of The Poem 'Lights In Thy Corod'
lights in thy corse— ye shaketh me—
I desire more, thy cypress roses shaketh me,
Thou're the windeth and suns poetry.
Creating w'rds to enlighten thee, f'rging the oblivion into the chasms of thy chest
We wast moo intwin'd in the bidding courageous affairs
Death holdeth tongues of serenity losing mine soul
Haunting the dusteth and the eth'real
Fireth that kills us lust f'r lust blood f'r kisses of raindrops
Gouging me into thy breasts. i wanteth to englut the left o'er of thou.

lights in thy corse— ye shaketh me—
I desire more, thy cypress roses shaketh me,
Thou're the windeth and suns poetry.
Creating w'rds to enlighten thee, f'rging the oblivion into the chasms of thy chest
We wast moo intwin'd in the bidding courageous affairs
Death holdeth

    “Grief is an artist of powers as various as the instruments upon which he plays his dirges for the dead, evoking from some the sharpest, shrillest notes, from others the low, grave chords that throb recurrent like the slow beating of a distant drum. Some natures it startles; some it stupefies. To one it comes like the stroke of an arrow, stinging…

    In ‘to his coy mistress’ a contrast and juxtaposition is used between stanzas as in the second stanza there are many references to death in phrases such as ‘turn to dust’, ‘all my lust’ and ‘grave’s a fine place’. These morbid associations used to scare his mistress ‘into action’ create contrast with the next stanza, which is written, in an upbeat tone which gives more of a sense of vitality – the associations with nature and the phrase ‘youthful hue’ give a more life affirming tone.…

    Thomas maintains a strong emphasis on life and death throughout the poem. He draws a strong correlation between the two in the very beginning of the poem by likening them to explosives. The stem of a blooming, blossoming flower is the fuse, gradually getting smaller and smaller, until the spark reaches the bottom and ignites the explosive, ‘blasting the roots of trees,’ killing us off when we mature and come of age. Again this connection is strengthened when he claims the very stuff we are made of, ‘clay,’ is also used to make the ‘hangman’s lime,’ the material hangmen and undertakers use to cover bodies when they decay. By repeating this concept over and over in each stanza Thomas sets the foundation for his poem and moulds everything else around it, making the poem’s objective clear and firmly planting what he wants to convey to the reader in their memory.…

    People have individual strengths, weaknesses, and individual capabilities, all of which are dependent upon human nature. While these characteristics are often difficult to alter and influence, humans, nevertheless, wish to change them. They are never satisfied with their appearance, never content with their lives, forever attempting to change, but in the end, always find themselves at the starting point, realizing that they, in fact, have not changed at all, for they have not accepted what they want. The citizens in David Wagoner’s narrative poem, “The Man Who Spilled Light” are no different. How do they face change which they cannot accept?…

    Throughout the entire poem, the speaker continuously asks questions debating what makes life worth living. The speaker’s confused mental state is expressed through rhetorical questions. The narrator asks, “Oh cold reprieve, where’s natural relief?” Here, the narrator wonders where he may find an escape from life, from the grief he was told to pursue. The answer is actually from within him. This results in a poem with dialogue between the narrator’s conscience and heart; the heart being the Echo. The Echo’s answer of “Leaf” leads the narrator to reflect on the death of leaves; leaves bloom beautifully and change into various colors. Making “ecstasy” of the flower’s dying process. He wonders, “Yet what’s the end of our life’s long disease? If death is not, who is my enemy,” but then the Echo calls itself the foe. Though leaves age beautifully, people do not, for aging is a disease of life that cannot be escaped.…

    "Thus have I politicly begun my reign,/ And ‘tis my hope to end successfully./ My falcon now is sharp and passing empty,/ And till she stoop she must not be full gorged,/ For then she never looks upon her lure./ Another way I have to man my haggard,/ To make her come and and know her keeper's call,/ That is, to watch her as we watch these kites/ That bate and beat and will not be obedient./ She eat no meat today, nor none shall eat./ Last night she slept not nor, tonight she shall not./ As with the meat, some undeserved fault/ I'll find about the making of the bed,/ And here I'll fling the pillow, there the bolster,/ This way the coverlet, another way the sheets./ Ay, and amid this hurly I intend/ That all is done in reverent care of her,/ And in conclusion she shall watch all night./ And if she chance to nod I'll rail and brawl/ And with the clamor keep her still awake./ This is a way to kill a wife with kindness,/ And thus I'll curb her mad and headstrong humor./ He that knows better how to tame a shrew,/ Now let him speak- ‘tis charity to show."…

    Death pervades The Whitsun Weddings and in Ambulances is reflected on in terms of the significance of our response to seeing an ambulance stop. Passers-by view them as ‘confessionals’, secretive, mysterious places where we confront our deepest nature. They are impersonal and unpredictable, resting ‘at any kerb’ and reminding us of our mortality because ‘All streets in time are visited’. The contrast of the mundane reality of a visit to the shops with the ‘wild white face’ (note the alliteration and assonance denoting an interruption from the norm) shows how anyone can be randomly caught up in another’s loss, before the patient is dehumanisingly ‘stowed’ and it is this that leads in stanza 3 to the onlookers understanding the tenuousness of their own lives, ‘the solving emptiness’ which is infinite. Whether religious or colloquial, ‘Poor soul’ is not, therefore an expression of sympathy but of self-pity, ‘at their own distress’.…

    Nor heaven peep through the blankets of the dark, curtains that blow like no other wind. How is’t with me I feel an unruly creature has come upon me, have I not been deprived of my feminine instinct? O, the guilt pays no sympathy to my heart, pulling and tugging on the strings that keep my heart whole.…

    This is a short, fun poem from the middle of Walt Whitman’s career. Even though it’s only ten lines long, it picks up a lot of the big themes in his writing, and it has a lot of depth, which you don’t necessarily see at first. This particular poem showed up in The Broadway, A London Magazine . In the magazine format, it appears in a group of five poems with the title "Whispers of Heavenly Death." In spite of that creepy association, though, this poem shows Whitman in his prime. In just ten lines, you can tell that he’s full of the energy, imagination, and excitement which have made him so popular for so many years.…

    My heart dances, but not for joy, not joy. This entertainment may a free face put on, derive liberty from heartiness, from bounty, fertile bosom, and well become the agent. ‘T may, I grant. But to be paddling palms and pinching fingers, as now they are, and making practiced smiles as in a looking glass, and then to sigh, as ‘twere the mort o’th’deer- O, that is entertainment my bosom likes not, nor my brows!”…

    The tone, at the beginning of this poem is wistful and heavy hearted. She looks out over her yard “where the new grass flames as it has flamed often before” (2-4). A metaphor of her life as it has been in the past when her husband lived; alive and colorful. The seasons where life was blooming, starting each season new and fresh. But this time it is different, like “the cold fire…
