How does Sheers use nature to probe life’s wounds? In his collections Skirrid Hill‚ Owen Sheers sees nature as a support to the complexities of life‚ serving to comfort‚ explain‚ or simplify them as a cathartic force. As noted in the epigraph of the collection‚ ‘skirrid’ derives from the Welsh word ‘ysgyrid’‚ meaning divorce or separation. This motif is seen in various poems that are concerned with personal separation or separation as a result of a transitional state‚ such as the passage from

In this posting‚ I want to look at the work of the American scholar Owen Fiss. Fiss’ work is useful as it gives us a useful way of thinking about the role of the judge in the common law system. In particular‚ his work outlines the limits on judicial law making‚ and the role that judges play in a democratic polity. Fiss has argued that: “[the] [j]udges “capacity to make a special contribution to our social life derives not from any personal traits or knowledge‚ but from the definition of

The two poems‚ “To Lucasta‚ going to the Wars” by Richard Lovelace and “Dulce et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen are both devoted to the subject of war. Lovelace’s poem was written in the 17th century and as well as almost all the poetry of the period has romantic diction. The war is shown as something truly worthwhile‚ glossed and honorable for a man. The protagonist is leaving his beloved for the battlefield and his tone is pathetic and solemn. He calls the war his new mistress and asks his beloved

Alexander Pope uses this to his benefit when he depicts the crime in The Rape of the Lock. By alluding to Milton’s work‚ Pope is able to comically refer to the cutting of a lock of hair as a tragic and epic event. In doing this‚ he paradoxically assumes that the crime is not one of personal fault‚ but one fated to happen by God‚ just as in Paradise Lost. “What dire offence from amorous causes springs‚ / What mighty contests rise from trivial things‚” (Pope‚ ll. 1-2). These

Wilfred Owen’s poetry has expressed his outrage of war and the sheer pity of the pointless sacrifices of young soldiers made in battle. The patriotic view of war and religion are questioned repeatedly in his poems. He also ponders the purpose for the existence of the human race. Techniques such as juxtaposition‚ similes and metaphors are also employed into the poems of “Anthem for Doomed Youth‚ Dulce et Decorum et Est and Futility” to create the atmosphere needed for each poem. This atmosphere creates

Swift said that he wrote Gulliver’s Travels to ’vex the world ’. Discuss the purpose of Augustan satire‚ with reference to works by Swift and Pope. This essay will strive to prove that the ‘Augustan Age’ was the first example of a literary community using satire to directly challenge cultural‚ social‚ political and challenging intellectual issues. It is quite usual to find in satiric works of the 18th century an unusually direct assault from the writers against contemporary government officials

Though Pope Urban II promised a heaven for the Franks and expanded Christianity‚ I believe that his message was frightening rather than inspiring. I have come to this conclusion because in an ideal mind‚ a pope‚ a man of the church is thought to be pure and pious. However‚ Pope Urban II is in fact acting as a political leader‚ scheming and plotting against the Turks‚ under the façade of a pope. In his appeal to the Franks‚ Pope Urban II begins his speech in an ominous and foreboding tone. This
