Analysis of a Poem When You are Old‚ by William Butler Yeats‚ represents and elderly woman reminiscing of her younger days. A past lover whispers to her as she looks through a photo album. Basically‚ Yeats is showing that as the woman gets older‚ she is alone‚ but she does not have to be lonely. She will always have her memories for companionship. "When you are old and grey and full of sleep‚ and nodding by the fire" (l.1-2) depicts the woman in her age‚ needing to nap more frequently

“Love is always patient and kind; love is never jealous; love is not boastful or conceited‚ it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage‚ it does not take offence or store up grievances. Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing‚ but finds its joy in the truth. It is always ready to make allowances‚ to trust‚ to hope and to endure whatever comes.” -1st Corinthians 13:4-7 What is love? A person tends to have likes‚ preference and desires of his or her heart that differs him or her from other human

Do you ask yourself why sometimes? Why do we fall for those who cant catch us‚ and ignore those who love us. Why do we cry over those who only mean to cause us pain‚ and waste our time on someone who is just trying to bring us down. We cannot force ourselves to love‚ just as we cannot force another to love us. We can only be someone who is capable of being loved. Who you need to be with isn’t always the hottest person or the the one that everyone would die to be with. Maybe sometimes the people that

Half past two –U A FANTHORPE This poem is written by U. A. Fanthorpe. It looks like a child has written it. The boy was told to stay behind until half past two but this has no meaning because he doesn’t know how to read time. There is repetition of doing something wrong pointing to the punitive nature of educational system. Children are always being punished for doing something wrong. Adults never have time to sit and talk and explain to the kid so that he doesn’t repeat the mistake again. Kids

Lit – Poems What Thing Is Love? (George Peele) George Peele was an English dramatist‚ born in 1556. He led a reckless life and died of small pox. The poem ‘What thing is love’ was written in 1580’s and is in some ways against love. According to him love is more of a sting then hurt but yet a pretty thing. He says that one should not love as women can hurt you with love – Love’s dwelling is in ladies’ eyes‚ From whence do glance love’s piercing darts (Cupid’s arrows i.e. Roman God of love)‚ That

The poems I chose‚ “Havisham” and "Love After Love"‚ are comparable‚ with their common subject of how a person responds to the end of a relationship‚ but they are very contrasting in the paths they take. The persona in “Love After Love” talks about returning to yourself and loving who you are: without the need for someone else‚ “You will love again the stranger who was yourself” as if you lose yourself in a relationship so much that you need to learn how to look after yourself again. Whereas “Havisham”
