1700’s authors such as John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley were born. These two famous authors influenced many other authors to come. John Keats (1795 – 1821) and Percy Shelley (1792-1822) were both good friends during their time‚ which could be why they wrote their poems on similar topics for example both “Ode to the West Wind” by Percy Shelley and “To Autumn” by Keats were both written on nature and how they perceived it. The first time reading “Ode to the West Wind” by Percy Shelley

In his poem "Ode to a Nightingale‚" John Keats uses powerful‚ distinct symbolism and imagery. The nightingale‚ for instance‚ is interpreted by many to be a symbol of Keats ’ poetic inspiration and satisfaction. This symbolism can be seen by the vivid descriptions Keats hives the nightingale. However‚ the nightingale is definitely not the only item of symbolism in "Ode to a Nightingale." In a short piece of art‚ Keats apparently has mastered using many different items‚ phrases‚ and brilliant‚ descriptive

Many people in today’s world are suffering due to their enhanced focus on their limitations‚ while neglecting their numerous talents‚ which causes great emotional suffering. In John Keats’s Odes‚ he developed a humble acceptance of both his limitations and talents through the immense suffering that he endured throughout his life. This view was also shown in The Breakfast Club where a brilliant young man‚ Brian Johnson‚ was upset by his inability to create a lamp in shop class so he contemplated committing

In his English sonnet “When I Have Fears” (pg. 17‚ Vendler)‚ John Keats attempts to put into words the human emotions felt when dealing with death. I believe that Keats wrote this poem to describe the natural order of emotions he went through while thinking of his own mortality. The tone of the sonnet takes a “roller coaster” course throughout the poem from one quatrain to the next. With careful examination one can see that Keats used the first quatrain to describe a state of utter confusion‚ the

Ode to the West Wind is a poem addressed to the west wind. It is personified both as a "Destroyer" and a "Preserver". It is seen as a great power of nature that destroys in order to create‚ that kills the unhealthy and the decaying to make way for the new and the fresh. The personification of the west wind as an enchanter‚ as a wild spirit is characteristic of Shelley’s poetry. Shelley’s personification of the west wind can be called "myth poesies"‚ another kind of metaphor. The poem is divided

“Father of English Criticism‚ a. BEN JONSON THE FIRST ENG CRITIC‚ DRYDEN THE FATHER OF CRITICISM: Jonson is known as the first English critic but Dryden as the father of English criticism. It was Dr Johnson who conferred the title of ‘The Father of English Criticism’ on Dryden. Saintsbury‚ T.S. Eliot and many other modern critics support Dr. Johnson’s views. Of course by saying that Ben Jonson is the first critic of England Dryden’s position has not been degraded. That remark is based on

High above the broad valley of the Mississippi reposes an expansive and indestructible mansion. The view it possesses is extraordinary. In autumn the valley blazes with gilded trees‚ swept with scarlet. The winter’s display is scarcely less lovely‚ for the valley’s forest is wrapped in the finest lace‚ while in the spring and summer‚ it alive with song. Along the brim of the valley lies Summit Avenue‚ lined with a collection of the stateliest homes in the Mid-west. But the grandest of them all

Autumn Taine Autumn woke up in one of Austin’s shirts. She got up and headed to the bathroom. She traded her shorts for some of her yoga pants. She left Austin’s shirt on. She went to the kitchen to start breakfast. By the time she had cracked the first egg‚ arms wrapped around her. They might have been Jason’s - no‚ Jason would never grab her like this. Neither would Austin. She tried to scream‚ but a firm hand closed around her mouth. Fear spread through her body like acid. The person dragged

This sonnet is an attempt by Keats to link the natural life cycles of birth‚ life‚ death‚ and rebirth to the four seasons and from there to the nature of human existence. Taken literally‚ the poem is essentially a very eloquent description of the four seasons of spring‚ summer‚ autumn and winter‚ applied to the "mind of man" or the human demeanor. If interpreted in a more metaphorical sense‚ the poem takes on a distinctly different meaning. Keats opens the sonnet by establishing the fact that "There
