Henry David Thoreau “It’s both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply”(d.j). “The Moon” is a poem about a man who fell in love with the moon. The man has a faulty life, but his love for the moon helps him look past the life he hates. The man describes his love for the moon in a passionate way, and his love for her makes him lose sight of the problems within his life. He sees the moon’s light as a sign that darkness is beauty and that even though he has many issues in his life, his love for her never alters. “Indeed, Indeed I Cannot Tell” is a poem about a choice between hate or love. In the poem there’s a man that cannot decided wether he feels hate or love towards a certain person. At first he is sure that he cannot love the person and that the person absolutely disgust him. As time passes confusion starts to built up and his feelings are very perplex, but he soon comes to realize that the feeling of hate he had was just a disguise for his hidden love towards the person. Henry David Thoreau uses contradictory tone in both “The Moon” and
“Indeed Indeed I Cannot Tell” to convey that love will always overshadow hate. Furthermore, Henry David Thoreau’s use of contrast in tone portrays that during a time of secrecy, scandals, and mischievous actions, love will always neglect the dreadful moments in life. “The Moon” is a dramatic poem about a man that expresses his amorous feelings towards a
woman. The man has many problems in his life and the woman does not bring any luck, but her light gives him hope. Hope that even though he is going through many moments of secrecy, scandals, and mischievous moments that everything will eventually get better. Henry David
Thoreau does this by personifying the moon as a lady and showing that his love for her helps him see all his bulky abundant problems seem small and limited. His love for the moon, lady, helps him realize that life is valuable
