Poetry Analysis On This Day I Complete My Thirty-Sixth Year The poem is quick to assert that‚ maybe even provide a caveat‚ that one should take their life seriously and live their life to the fullest. It’s interesting that Byron beings to reflect on his life at this age‚ and I find it even more interesting that the poem was written on the last year he would live. One thing Byron emphasizes heavily on this poem is love and compassion. His first lines are an admittance that he does not have a

Sagar Gohel D. Samaha English 2 Honors September 30‚ 2012 The Death and Transfiguration of Poetry One of the greatest poetic minds of the 20th Century once said‚ “Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion‚ but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality‚ but an escape from personality.
