whether or not Death has tricked her into going from a busy life‚ to a peaceful death. Dickinson splits the poem into quatrains. Stanzas 1‚2‚3 and 5 use the same meter patterns. The first and third line of the stanzas has 8 syllables or 4 feet. Each foot represents two syllables‚ one unstressed the other stressed. A meter that is iambic is one that is common in the English language; so the poem could be said naturally. There are 4 feet so the meter is iambic tetrameter‚ tetra meaning 4. be CAUSE/

lines seven and eight that are probably the most salient lines in the poem. The lines state: Yet many a man is making friends with death Even as I speak‚ for lack of love alone. (7-8) Lines one through six have ten syllables each‚ using iambic pentameter. Line seven has eleven syllables unlike the previous six lines; is this difference intentional? I think that it is; the sonnet takes abrupt turn here‚ taking the reader in another direction. It is here that we realize the poem has a deeper message

We grow accustomed to the dark... Darkness is a recurring image in literature that evokes a universal unknown‚ yet is often entrenched in many meanings. A master poet‚ Emily Dickinson employs darkness as a metaphor many times throughout her poetry. In “We grow accustomed to the dark” (#428) she talks of the “newness” that awaits when we “fit our Vision to the Dark.” As enigmatic and shrouded in mystery as the dark she explores‚ Dickinson’s poetry seems our only door to understanding the recluse

"Go‚ lovely Rose" BY EDMUND WALLER The Text Go‚ lovely Rose— Tell her that wastes her time and me‚ That now she knows‚ When I resemble her to thee‚ How sweet and fair she seems to be.

Small is the worth Of beauty from the light retired: Bid her come forth‚ Suffer herself to be desired‚ And not

ENGLISH LITERATURE ASSIGNMENT 1 POEM ANALYSIS REASON FOR CHOOSING THIS POEM I choose this poem ‘if’ by Rudyard Kipling because when I read this poem it reminds me of when I was a little girl how it was difficult to grow up. This poem brings back memories. Back in that time‚ my family wasn’t a well-to-do family. It makes me remember how hard it is to do things on my own and it took me a very long time to be independent and start to mature. It also make me think how much farther
