Washington Crossing the Delaware Both the poem by David Shulman and the painting by Emanuel Leutze cover the same topic of Washington crossing the Delaware River; they are both different works‚ yet they have more similarities. The poem and the painting both include the weather and the surrounding terrain such as the rough water from the painting and the “stinging cold” from the poem. However‚ the poem offers more background to the actual event than the painting. An example is the mention of Washington

Written in loosened iambic pentameter and consisting of five six-line stanzas rhymed ‘abcbdd’‚ the poem’s reflective and melancholic mood reflect the time of the poems first appearance.

Love and Time The song Live Forever by Sequoyah Prep School and the poem To His Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell both talk about love. More specifically‚ they deal with love and its relationship to time. They show how important it is to let love grow over time‚ instead of rushing it for sex. It is almost like a garden‚ and it has to be well kept. The concept of love versus sex is very prevalent. It is obvious from the first line that the singer is more intent on love. He speaks about doing everything

‘In Memory of C. Tallis and R. Turner’ In this essay I will discuss the effects of W. H. Auden’s poem ‘In Memory of W. B.

As death in battle is usually seen as a rather honourable fate‚ the language is respectful towards
