    John Donne’s Poetic Philosophy of Love For the enormously complex and vexed John Donne (1572-1631)‚ the one in whom all “contraries meet‚” (Holy Sonnet 18)‚ life was love—the love of women in his early life‚ then the love of his wife (Ann More)‚ and finally the love of God. All other aspects of his experience apart from love‚ it seems‚ were just details. Love was the supreme concern of his mind‚ the preoccupation of his heart‚ the focus of his experience‚ and the subject of his poetry

    ANTHEM FOR DOOMED YOUTH ANALYSIS 1. The Body of Poem “Anthem for Doomed Youth” By: Wilfred Owen What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?       Only the monstrous anger of the guns.        Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle Can patter out their hasty orisons. No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells‚       Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs‚— The shrill‚ demented choirs of wailing shells;       And bugles calling for them from sad shires.

    burning and desperate desire for love‚ and the lack ‘‘quality time’’ spent between parents and their children shine throughout different elements of petry in these three poems. Firstly‚ ‘‘My Papa’s Waltz’’ is written with a wistful and bitter tone‚ as the young boy achingly reminisces his childhood. Words like ‘‘romped’’‚ ‘‘battered’’ and ‘‘scraped’’ clearly demonstrate a negative connotation and are purposely used by Rothke to suggest that the boy in the piece of poetry is a victim of physical violence

    Love in all its forms‚ from blessed matrimony to crippling betrayal‚ has been the poet’s canvas‚ marred by violent‚ disconnected‚ bold strokes‚ with a lot of detail but no form. How can one define something that is so unique for the individual beholder‚ and yet common themes run deep and have become metaphors more easily attributed and immediately understood than the word ‘love’ itself. The first point of note is the familiarity of the language used by John Clare in the nineteenth century

    Poetry Analysis/ Discussion Mirror I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions. Whatever I see I swallow immediately Just as it is‚ unmisted by love or dislike. I am not cruel‚ only truthful- The eye of the little god‚ four cornered. Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall. It is pink‚ with speckles. I have looked at it so long I think it is a part of my heart. But it flickers. Faces and darkness separate us over and over. Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me‚ Searching my reaches
