different attitudes towards love; I have selected four poems that consider this issue and show the poets true thoughts on love. Two of my texts‚ ‘Leaving Prince Charming Behind‚’ written by Karlo Mila and ‘Advice to a discarded Lover‚’ written by Fleur Adcock‚ both look at the theme of love and past relationships in a negative and quite a depressing manner. Whereas‚ the other two texts deal with both the poets sweet‚ happy and more realistic attitude towards the power of true love. ‘To the girl who stood

The love letter is probably almost as old as written civilization itself. Examples from Ancient Egypt range from the most formal - ’the royal widow...Ankhesenamun wrote a letter to the king of the Hittites‚ Egypt’s old enemy‚ begging him to send one of his sons to Egypt to marry her’ - to the down-to-earth: let me ’bathe in thy presence‚ that I may let thee see my beauty in my tunic of finest linen‚ when it is wet’.[2] Imperial China might demand a higher degree of literary skill: when a heroine
