Independence, autonomy and winning is just elitus and best characteristics that must always be shown never weak or unsure always believing you’re superior With all that you have, you still deserve more Denying others-what wasn’t worked for. You planned so well, I should have planned more to make one mistake I could not afford. How can you assume this is all true. I’ve never seen your foot even near my shoe. Until you’ve walked, a mile in my stead How can you know-What pleasure would you take in walking my street for even a day. The only reason, I could ever see would be for you- to kno ...

... enjoys the mixing of blood which is referred to as sex. It is the authors comment that they have intercourse within the flea but that is more than the two of them do together. Saying to her that this would not be adultery suggests that she has a strong faith and is ethically bound to abide by the principals of her religion. His argument is to put down the religion by saying even the flea is mixing our blood, so why shouldn't we? That suggests that the flea is one of God's creatures and so it should follow the principals of God as well because it was created by God, so the mixing of their blood isn't wrong. In the third stanza Donne's girlfriend is on the vi ...

... considered abstractly, and without the apologies arising from his situation, seems to him fully entitled to command our feelings, and to obtain our applause. One bar, indeed, his birth and education have opposed to his fame, the language in which most of his poems are writtin. Even is Scotland, the provincial dialect which Ramsay and he have used is now read with a difficulty which greatly damps the pleasure of the reader: in England it cannot be read at all, without such a constant reference to a glossary, as nearly to destroy that pleasure. As Mackenzie states: "The power of genius is not less admirable in tracting the manners, than in painting the passion ...

... is one of disgust and is very depressing for the reader. Blake also says that men are similar to the fly due to their position in life. "For I dance And drink and sing, Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing." Man is just as vulnerable as a fly, being a man can be killed at any time in his life just like a fly can be killed any time in his life. Also, "The Hand of God" can strike down a man the same a fly is struck down by the hand of man. This view by Blake is quite depressing. One can be carefree about their life, yet thinking is the most essential part of man. "If thought is life And strength and breath, And the want Of thought is deat ...

... ,an "autumnal recollection", and that in turn moves him back toward his childhood home where his mother seems still to preside--diminished now over an outmoded world. She is smaller, more vulnerable, someone to be protected. "Matku," he says tenderly in Czech, "Mon maminku," my little mommy, which the translator has rendered as "my diminutive mom." He imagines that after all these years she's still sitting back there, quietly uncomplaining, thinking about his father who died so long ago. It is the next moment in the poem, when the tense radically changes, that I find especially compelling. "And then she is skinning fruit for me," he says, "I am in the room. S ...

... gives the reader the first glimpse of what is yet to come. These turbulent words help give the poem a gloomy feeling. When Porphyria arrives at the speaker's cottage, she is dripping wet. The speaker makes it an important point to describe her after her arrival. The description of the articles of clothing that Porphyria is wearing helps the reader know that Porphyria is from an upper-class family. She was wearing a cloak and shawl, a hat, and gloves. It is apparent that the speaker works for Porphyria's family. He lives in a cottage, somewhat distant from the main house. The cottage is cold until Porphyria warms up the room with her presence and by stirri ...

... the virtue in their lives has assured them of glory and reward in the afterlife; hence, they die in peace without fear and emotion. He suggests that the separation of the lovers be like this separation caused by death. In the second stanza the speaker furthers his comparison for a peaceful separation. “So let us melt, and make no noise” (line 5) refers to the melting of gold by a goldsmith or alchemist. When gold is melted it does not sputter and is therefore quiet. The speaker and his love should not display their private, intimate love as “tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move” (line 6). The speaker thinks that it would be a “profanation” (line 7) to reveal the sa ...

... grown/will grow deep with patience for a better time to come, and determination to go on until that time finally arrives. All things that have been experienced, all hard rains of troubled times, have added to his river, his soul, and helped make him who he is. Without these times, both the good and the bad, he would not possess the beauty of who he is, knowing the limits and possibilities of his body and soul. In "I, Too," Hughes portrays utmost assurance and serenity. He accepts the ways of today, but has faith in a change for tomorrow. He does not offer much complaint; he goes his own way abidingly, but knows that this is only temporary. He knows, without que ...
