    Lewis Carroll’s "The Walrus and the Carpenter" could possibly be just a nonsensical rhyme meant purely for entertainment value. The fact that this is a nonsense poem inside a nonsense story makes it all the more difficult to decipher a deeper meaning. Like the author‚ who had a darker side to him‚ so too might his work. Carroll made this statement in a letter to an American friend‚I’m very much afraid I didn’t mean anything but nonsense. Still‚ you know‚ words mean more than we mean to express when

    Symbolism of a Feminist Poem in Sylvia Plath Some literary critics have linked Sylvia Plath’s poem‚ “Daddy" (524)‚ as a confessional or autobiographical poem about the relationship with her father.

    The soldier IF I should die‚ think only this of me:     That there’s some corner of a foreign field That is forever England. There shall be     In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore‚ shaped‚ made aware‚     Gave‚ once‚ her flowers to love‚ her ways to roam‚ A body of England’s‚ breathing English air‚     Washed by the rivers‚ blest by the suns of home. And think‚ this heart‚ all evil shed away‚     A pulse in the eternal mind‚ no less         Gives somewhere
