In the poems “Helen”‚ and “To Helen”‚ by Poe and Doolittle‚ both authors recognize Helen’s physical beauty‚ a quality that she is most known for in the ancient world.

Throughout the poem Doolittle describes Helen’s features as “white.” While normally the color white is associated with goodness‚ innocence‚ and purity‚ this changes completely when doolittle decides to include the term “wan” beside it in the second stanza.

However‚ this is not always the case‚ in fact‚ numerous poems can share the same theme or imagery while speaking of completely diverse things.
