The Loss of a Loved One The poem “A Song of Despair” by Pablo Neruda and the song “Over You” written by Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton are two works of literature that show how one feels and how one laments after losing someone he or she deeply loves. In the case of “A Song of Despair”‚ the persona Pablo Neruda had created is lamenting over the loss of his woman‚ while “Over You” is about Blake Shelton’s (one of the song’s composers) personal loss of his brother.

main goal is not merely to join a specific group. They seek to distinguish and separate themselves from the people who used to be their peers‚ the people who are now seen as beneath them. Poets‚ as a group‚ are not exempt from the societal trend. Pablo Neruda explores the selfish tendency of poets in “Sweetness‚ always” while also offering a solution to the issue and calling those selfsame poets to action.

Sonnet 69 was written by Pablo Neruda in the 20th century. As I was reading the original sonnet‚ I was filled with inner joy and love.

four poets that I have recently studied: Pablo Neruda‚ Carol Ann Duffy‚ e.e cummings and Theodore Roethke.

Personal Reaction No man is an island. Just like a line in a song‚ “Walang sinoman ang mabubuhay para sa sarili lamang”. It means that no one can survive only by themselves.

Without them life is worthless. Man is not only a political and rational being but man is a gregariously social being. Man is a gregariously

from Neruda’s great poem occasioned by the Spanish Civil War‚ “I Explain Some Things‚” in which he writes that the blood of the children ran in the street “como el sangre de ninos”—“like the blood of children.” Doty gives this example to show how Pablo Neruda acknowledges the limitations of literature and that the blood of the children can only be described as the blood of the children.
