Romanticism In Cody Simpson's Song Flower
Before the Romanticism era, God and heaven was the ultimate source of inspirtation for many litteary and visual artworks. However, during the 18th century when romantiscim gained popularity, the romantics emphized the mans close connections to nature. This still hold true today in Cody Simpson’s song, ‘Flower.’ As evident by the title, Cody’s nature aspect are about flowers. For him, the nature symbolizes his love and effections for the girl he has feelings for. It is evident in “I know I'll never be the apple of your eye /But I could pick you a flower/ If you'd like” (1-3). When analyzing this quote, it seems as if Simpson knows that his love for this girl will not be reciprocated,and the only thing he can do is pick the girl for this girl.

    The Romantics looked to nature as a liberating force, a source of sensual pleasure, moral instruction, religious insight, and artistic inspiration. Eloquent exponents of these ideals, they extolled the mystical powers of nature and argued for more sympathetic styles of garden design in books, manuscripts, and drawings now regarded as core documents of the Romantic Movement. Their cult of inner beauty and their view of the outside world dominated European thought during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.…

    Romanticism In Music

    The period of music that affects me more than others is romanticism. Starting from the humble beginnings of the French Revolution where reason and regard to the rights of individuals were at its peak of either falling or ascending. With the recognition of the newly found freedoms it’s not a surprise that the style of music and literature evolved. Enter Romanticism where the distinction between music was grand, where music had character, and where true life experiences could be told. That liberty is one of many reasons why I enjoyed this period.…

    The poem is an extended metaphor and uses symbolism and personification to animate the words. The poet refers to himself as a “tall, ugly weed” amongst “flowers”. He uses the weed to represent his desire to stand tall and free rather than be stuck in a pot. The weed and the flower are presented with the same obstacles, but the flower is pampered and prized and looked after. The poet declares that he would always prefer to be the weed, which is free and independent, over the flower that is beautiful and cherished but is someone’s property. The poet also alludes to his distrust of people in general in the lines “where they’re praised, handled, and plucked by greedy, human hands”.…

    Romanticism, commonly known as American romanticism, is writing in which feelings and intuition are valued over reason. It had a great influence over literature, music, and painting in the early eighteenth and well through the nineteenth centuries.

In this essay, I will discuss the romantic qualities of “The Devil and Tom Walker” by Washington Irving, “Thanatopsis” by William Cullen Bryant, and “The Pit and the Pendulum” by Edgar Allen Poe.…

    Paul Kelly’s song “Sweet Guy” highlights the reality that concealed behind what may appear to be a picture perfect relationship are the pains and suffering that one must endure. Through the first verse we are presented a very misleading first impression, a picturesque romance filled with love, care and passion. The boyfriend, the “sweet guy” is depicted as caring, kind, loyal and loving whilst the girlfriend is portrayed as being helplessly infatuated, able to “give up the world”. Together these planted assumptions compose the façade of this perfection; it is soon discovered that the actual relationship is fragmented beyond salvation.…
