    The last time we ran a metaphysical poem [1]‚ I went into a rather detailed analysis of its construction‚ talking about the many conceits used‚ how they fit into a logical sequence‚ and how the idea of logic gave structure to the poem as a whole. Several readers wrote in to say that they enjoyed that particular essay‚ and they’d like to see more of the same on the Minstrels. Of course‚ not all poems lend themselves to that sort of critical dissection‚ and there are many which I believe should

    In "The Sun Rising‚" by John Donne‚ there are many metaphysical characteristics. These characteristics are made up primarily of paradoxes and conceits. The theme also contributes to these metaphysical characteristics. The paradoxes are spread out thought the entire poem. The first is "Why dost thou thus‚ / Through windows and through curtains‚ call on us" (line 2-3). This is because the sun doesn’t call on anyone; this is also personification because the sun is given speech‚ a characteristic of

    Desire brings forth blindness and self-destruction. At least‚ that seems to be the message Sir Philip Sidney tries to convey in “Thou Blind Man’s Mark.” Sidney uses poetic devices like imagery‚ personification‚ and tone to address his complex attitude towards desire. “Thou blind man’s mark‚ thou fool’s self-chosen snare” (line 1). Sidney invokes metaphors to describe the subject of his poem before revealing what it actually is. The contradicting and confusing images are likely due to his passionate

    In the prose‚ The Red Wheelbarrow‚ a rain slicked red wagon with a broken wheel‚ desolate and decrepit‚ stands sombrely in the tawny-patterned mud. It is a rather simplistic image that evokes the sense of a worn down agricultural household;slowly‚ diminishing along as the red wheelbarrow rusts in the rain. But‚ how could the speaker present such a mundane idea so brilliantly‚ so intensely‚ so eloquently? Simply. He performs it simply. Through a sadden tone‚ William Carlos Williams illustrates the

    Along with his number of novels‚ Melville also authored several short stories with varied success. One of Melville’s better known short stories is Benito Cereno. This work was similar to that of his earlier novel Pierre in that it held vast potential that was just misguided. Benito Cereno’s formidable power was lost amongst a sluggish and stiff storyline. The tediously built-up atmosphere made the book fairly torpid (Arwin). While the short story held little moral meaning‚ it still demonstrated Melville’s
