Here by Phillip Larkin and ‘Returning to Cardiff’ But In these poems‚ Larkin and Abse both write about places in a very different‚ very unique style. One the one hand Larkin talks about the places of his past and how they are no longer accessible; the changing of a beautiful‚ unspoilt place to something short of an eyesore; a pace he is in but does not feel he belongs and even places within his mind. Alternatively Abse talks longingly of the places he once lived in‚ and how upsetting it is to

Esther Kang History History 011 Section Number????? The Complex Nature of the World in Motion Human beings are in constant search for sources that can provide them with adequate resources to meet their basic needs.

The theme of journeys is present in Philip Larkin’s poem‚ A Study of Reading Habits. However‚ it is not a physical journey that we see‚ but a metaphorical journey about the speaker’s life progression through his changing escapisms created by books. The title is a mock‚ serious title for it sounds like a piece of academic research Larkin uses first person persona to give expression to things he would prefer not to have attributed to himself. The structure of the poem divided into three stanzas; school

How does Hardy use language and poetic form to convey meaning and ideas in ‘Wagtail and Baby’?

Mars‚ the Bringer of War- The first movement of the piece‚ “Mars‚ Bringer of War” musically correlated directly with the rough‚ dangerous elements of Mars’ physical makeup. Its main three elements‚ silicon‚ iron‚ and sulfur‚ all have connections to war. Silicon is often used in steel- refining and aluminum casting‚ while iron is a main source of all metal as well. These elements have an inherent “weapon” association to them‚ connecting mars to war. The musical elements‚ such as quick crescendos and

Death in Larkin and Abse Death pervades The Whitsun Weddings and in Ambulances is reflected on in terms of the significance of our response to seeing an ambulance stop. Passers-by view them as ‘confessionals’‚ secretive‚ mysterious places where we confront our deepest nature.

The contrast of the mundane reality of a visit to the shops with the ‘wild white
