The poems “Because I could not stop for Death” by Emily Dickinson and “Crossing the Bar” by Alfred‚ Lord Tennyson are similar in two ways. They are also different in one way.

The poet Alfred Lord Tennyson speaks the poem “the charge of the light brigade” with many themes in mind‚ but the main themes that are best portrayed are honor‚ and death.

Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. 14 Death is not a matter that should be taken lightly. Yet in “Crossing the Bar” Alfred Lord Tennyson uses rudimentary ideas to portray death. On the surface‚ it does not seem as though “Crossing the Bar” is about death.

Critics have argued whether the poem contemplates the greatness of dying while serving ones’ country‚ or on the contrary‚ if it condemns the mismanagement of the British Government.

For Tennyson‚ the most evident mode of comparison between both figures is that they are both leaders. It becomes evident in the poem that Tennyson sees both figures as leaders of Ithaca. Ulysses is the traditional leader of the island‚ while Telemachus has been elevated to a point where he is now leader‚ as well. Yet‚ it is here where there is some pivot. In his words‚ Ulysses sees Telemachus as more equipped to handle the administrative and more practical elements of leadership on the island

Alfred‚ Lord Tennyson and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow were two writers heavily influenced by the romantic idea of embracing death‚ rather than fearing it. Their poems Break‚ Break‚ Break (Tennyson)‚ and The Tide Rises‚ the Tide Falls (Longfellow) use repetition and loaded words to convey the theme of accepting death in order to truly live. The writers are able to convey their theme through their symbolical/metaphorical use of the sea. In The Tide Rises‚ the Tide Falls‚ Longfellow uses the sea to represent

FALL For me the fall is an exhilarating time of year. A time of change‚ an in-between period of muddled and varied weather. For others who view fall as a short time before a dreary winter‚ fall takes on a less colorful face. Alfred Lord Tennyson uses fall metaphorically throughout "The Lady of Shalott" to illustrate how the Lady of Shalott’s life (or lack thereof) progresses. Looking at fall at the macro level reveals that fall is a time of change. Like fall the Lady of Shalott’s life saw
