Analysis of ted hughes poetry, and his life work. Along with sylvia plath's

The Issues that Happened behind Poetries in Contemporary Era

In this scientific work, I want to analyze four poems in the contemporary era. The works are: The seven sorrows condensed from Ted Hughes, at grass by Philip Larkin, September 1913 and the stolen child by William Butler Yeats. The four poetries that appeared in the 20th Century, From the beginning of 20th Century like William Butler Yeats till the middle of 20th Century like Ted Hughes and Philip Larkin. As we know that William Butler Yeats’s poetries existed in the First World War at that time, poets did a lot of experiments in writing their literary works. They concentrated more on technique in writing their literary works. Meanwhile, Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes created poem the World War II, whereas nowadays, poets, do not focus on confusing technique but more at content and meaning that is easier to be understood by the readers. Now, I want to analyze symbol in the poem related with the issue that happens to the real fact or the real situation at that time. Now, I want to analyze a poem titled “The Seven Sorrows” written by Ted Hughes. We can see from the first stanza namely, the word “autumn”, this word symbolizes sadness, probably sadness that is felt by the writer. In that stanza, I found a phrase “a brown poppy head”. This phrase symbolizes something that long drawn out that has not disappointed from its feeling.

In the second stanza, “empty feet” the feet there symbolized, step that means useless step. Then in the next line, “the woodland gold”, the word gold symbolizes wealth, prosperity, swanky. The sentence in the third line of this stanza, strengthen by these two phrases under this sentence “is folded in feathers” and” with its head in a bag”. These two phrases describe the uncivilized done by man to animals. In the third stanza of this poet, “of the sun that has hangs from a hook with his brothers” this sentence symbolizes the afternoon atmosphere where birds are on the way home to their nest and the sunsets go home, at the same time. In the next line, ” the minutes of evening” the word “evening” means the end, or we can also say the end of the life. In the next line, there is a sentence “the golden and holy” the word “golden” here is the description of sunset in the evening. And the word “Holy” describe the tranquil nuance, comfortable or cozy when the sunsets. In the fifth stanza, the sentence “of the woodland tat quietly breaks up its camp” the word “camp” there symbolizes shelter that is broken slowly. In the next line, there is a sentence “one day is gone”, this word symbolizes a poet expectation that someday are the sadness will be gone. “it has left only litter firewood” symbolizes sadness, destruction, anger. On the sixth stanza, the stanza, the sentence “is the fox’s sorrow the joy of the huntsman, the joy of the hounds” the word “huntsman” describe as an evil person and “fox’s sorrow” describes the fox has been caught by the huntsman and he is satisfied. This describes the egoism of man who is heads I win, tails you lose. In the last sentence “till earth closes her ear to the fox’s prayer” this sentence shows that how a lot the fox’s prayer (the suffering of fox) until the earth cannot stand hearing it anymore. And the sentence in this last stanza, “of the face with wrinkles that looks through the window” this sentence describes sadness in the old age. “Like a tatty fairground” the word “tatty fairground” describes how old the writer is. “That came for the children” the word “children” describe freedom, cheerfulness. Maybe this sentence means though when we was becoming a children we felt happy, freedom, joyful but, the old will come to all children and they will feel the sadness as the same as the old man. And after being old it is difficult to us to get the happiness, freedom, cheerfulness and so on. Overall, this poem is talking about the writer’s feeling. The sadness feeling felt by the poet, we can see in detail the description of afternoon nuance in this poem, as if the poet felt himself what happened. It seemed the poet experienced. The psychological deep feeling, we can say the poet experienced consciousness realm because he realized what he felt and saw. Now, I want to try to analyze the poem titled “The Stolen Child” by William Butler Yeats, this poem is published in 1888 in Ireland. As we know that William Butler Yeats is often to bring up the story theme folklore, superstition etc. In the first stanza in this poetry, the first line “where dips the rocky highland” the poet describes the fairy’s house, in the second line “of Sleuth Wood in the lake,” Sleuth Wood is the region in Northwestern Ireland, where Yeats spent much of his childhood. Than “there lies a leafy island” the word “Leafy island” symbolizes of fairy’s house or fairy’s mansions that makes from leaf and branch, and it can symbolizes the environment of fairy’s living that close to nature. I think this sentence related to Tinker Bell story, in this story describes about the shape of fairy’s house, it makes from leaf, branch, tree. Even their clothes makes from leaf. Than in the next line “where flapping herons wake the drowsy water-rats;” this sentence describes the heron that try to awake the water rats, it symbolize the relation between rats and heron. If we try to find the correlation between this sentence and Tinker Bell story, in Tinker Bell tells about the rats always help the fairy to do their duty like collect the pixy dust or bring the weight thing with his cart, the function as the same as horse carriage in the real life. Than in the next line “there we’ve hid our faery vats, full of berries and of reddest stolen cherries.”
This sentence imagines that fairies always come to our world and lurk behind the vast to spy the children’s activity and she offer berries to the children and steal cherries. Than next sentence is “came away, O human child” the word of “child” symbolizes freedom, cheerfulness. The word “O came away” this word symbolizes the fairy that invite the children to go to the fairy world. And in the next line “To the waters and the wild” the word “waters” symbolizes freedom and “wild” symbolizes nature and liberty, there is no rule in there. These lines describes that fairy tempt the children to come with her to the fairy world. These line remind me to the Peter pan movie, it tells about Peter pan and the fairy named Tinker, they always come to every house in every nights to invite the children to come to wonderland for become his friend and after the children stay at Neverland they do not want to back again to their home, and forget about their home and their parents. And in their children won’t become adult and always happy like children that free from the rule and it is almost same with this poem. The next line “With a fairy hand in hand” the word “hand in hand” shows the way to go to fairy land. In the next line “For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.” This sentence symbolizes the world where the children’s life full of suffering and far from happiness. There are many rules that they do not understand, there is no freedom in there. In the second stanza, the first line “where the wave of moonlight glosses” the word “moonlight glosses” symbolizes how beautiful the moonlights and the color that so glow. And this moonlight can produce the pixy dust that make the fairy can fly, this thing is also told in Tinker Bell story, there is a fairy that must collect the pixy dust and this is so important for the fairy, this statement strengthen with “the dim grey sands with light,” the word “light” symbolizes valuable and the dust that glow with moonlights. In the next line “Far off by furthest Rosses we foot it all the nights “This sentence imagine that the fairy always dance during the nights when the full moon afford the pixy dust. In the next line “weaving olden dances,” the word “dance” symbolizes happiness. In this line we know that the fairy always holding a festival every year when the full moon appears. The fairies always dance in there. It there has been since long time ago, this statement strengthens with the word “olden”. Than in the next line “Mingling hands and mingling glances till the moon has taken flights:” the word “flights” symbolizes the moon that has been in the top of nights or in the middle of nights so, the festival end in the midnights, in the festival they dance together. And in the next line To and fro we leap” this sentence symbolizes how glad they are without feel tired like a child “And chase the frothy bubbles,” the word “bubbles” symbolizes happiness. In the next line “While the world is full of troubles and is anxious in its sleep.” The word “troubles” symbolizes how complicated this world where this world full of sadness and sufferings, and the sentence “anxious in its sleep” describe that how complicated and sufferings the man who life in the world until in the suitable and relax condition, they cannot feel relax in the relax condition. In the next line “come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild with a faery hand in hand, for the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand,” we can see in this sentence that this sentence always be repeated in every stanza. It shows that this sentence is important. It describes the lure from the fairy to invite children to come to fairy land, the fairy attempt to persuade the children with the happiness without ending. Probability the problems and the sadness in this poem shows that their parent, the parents that the children go to the fairy land, the sadness come because their parents worry even they cannot sleep, maybe it is the mean of “anxious in its sleep”, probability it describe how worry and poppet they are to their children. The parents always think about them even they cannot sleep. This thing also happens in Peter pan’s story, it tells Wendy’s mother that missing out on her daughter and her sons, she feels so sad because she does not know where is her children. It shows that this poem has been more than one correlation. Briefly, in the second stanza, the fairy tells about some places that so far, where we can find the dust’s flow that lucent from the full moon lights because of the pixy dust the fairy can dance together during the night until the moon achieve the top of night (midnights). They leap hither and thither and passionate to chase the bubbles while the happiness happen in fairy land in contrast, the parents feels worry about their children. Why fairy invite the children to fairy land, maybe it because of should not the children life in the world that full of sufferings and tears that they do not understand about that. In the third stanza “where the wandering water gushes from the hills above Glen-car” this sentence describes the place that fairy usually go in the little valley that the water flow. ”water” is symbolizes freedom. In the next line “In pools among the rushes that scare could bathe a star,” the word “star” symbolizes the top of places, in the next line, “We seek for slumbering trout and whispering in their ears give them unquiet dreams” the word “whispering” symbolizes the fairy want to attempt that fish, the word “dreams” shows that fishes hypnotic with fairy’s whisper and finally the fish cry to sleep. In the next line “Leaning softly out from ferns that drop their tears over the young streams” this sentence tells that the fairy whisper to the fish in the branch of bracken. The words “drop their tears” probability the word “tears” that symbolizes sadness maybe, that fairy whisper something that make them feel sad until they cry to sleep that that tears made way to carry out that children to the fairy land. The next line “come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild with a faery hand in hand, for the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand,” have the same meaning describes the world that full of sadness, sufferings and sorrow . In the fourth stanza, in this last stanza “The solemn-eyed:” symbolizes concentration, maybe, that children take more attention to listen what the fairy said. Than in the next line “He’ll hear no more the lowing of the calves on the warm hillside or the kettle on the hob sing peace into his breast,” the word “kettle, hob” symbolizes the world, maybe, this sentence imagine that the children that has came to the fairy land, they cannot remember their world, parents, and all things that have a relevance with the world. The fairy said it with sing a song that make the children hypnotic and make the children to follow them or make the children want to go to the fairy land and forget about their life in world. In the next sentence “Or see the brown mice bob round and round the oatmeal-chest.” This sentence shows that the fairy’s attempts to the children. They will lose the world’s view and something that has correlation with the world, because they have been in fairy land for living with the fairy and flee from the world that full of sufferings. In this poetry the poet focus on the differences or comparison between the man’s world that full of sadness, troubles and a lot of tears. This thing always repeated in every stanza whereas, in fairy’s world, it always gives the happiness, freedom without rules and full of rejoice. This case is the same with peter pan story, he invites the children to go to neverland for the freedom and happiness like the children wants. They will not remember their parents and all the things that have correlation with the world, sadness and so on. The fiction character (Peter pan) it created in Victorian era, the strict rule that is made by Queen, it makes a lot people restraint and feel does not free. They do not like the boundaries and they want to be like a child that free because the children symbolizes from freedom so, someone created this fiction character. This case called the political issue that happens in Victorian era at that time. Probability William Butler Yeats felt the same thing and he want to extend the freedom through his poetry, that rules are not always comfortable and it also can make misery, sadness and sorrow. Is it possible for Yeats to feel restraint with rules that in the end he wrote this poem? Because at that time was in the atmosphere of World war I. is it possible the world description in this poem is the world description of World War I that caused suffering, poverty and misery. Is it possible that the meaning of the sentence “Came away, O human child ! To the waters and the wild. With a faery, hand in hand, for the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand. ” is it possible for the sentence that is repeated in every stanza means to convey that children do not have to see all crying and sufferings that happened in the world at that time? I think that this poem has the same aim with the Peter pan story. This poem wants to convey the feeling of Yeats that he does not like with the restraint that is made by the government and he wrote this poem. I think that this poem is not just talk about the folklore, myth maybe there is a political issue behind this poem. Now, I want to try to analyze the poetry titled “September 1913” by William Butler Yeats, this poetry published in Dublin. It published in The Irish Times of September. In the first stanza, there is a sentence “What need you, being come to sense, but fumble in a greasy till” this sentence symbolizes someone who very greedy. They do not want to set aside even a little money for someone who need. It imagine that how scrooge they are. They do not care to others they just think about themselves. The word “you” in this poem refer to members of the new and predominantly Roman Catholic middle class, maybe, it is criticize from the writer, and the writer is teasing the members of the new and predominantly Roman Catholic middle class that just think about money. And in the next line “And add the halfpence to the pence” the word “half pence and pence” symbolizes the thoughtfulness, someone who feel concerned to a group of man who suffering because of human’s thoughtfulness. And in the next line “And prayer to shivering prayer” the word “shivering” symbolizes someone who afraid about something. In this poetry, probability the industrialists feel afraid to a group of workers (united of worker). In the fifth line “you have dried the marrow from the bone?” this sentence symbolizes the sufferings of the poor man is caused by the greed of the industrialist. It also symbolizes how poor the worker is and their wage is very low.
And in the sixth line “for men were born to pray and save:” this sentence symbolizes disapprobation to industrialists (the members of the new and predominantly Roman Catholic middle class), they pray and keep much money for themselves. The rich people will be richer and the poor people will be poorer. And the rich people will not give their wealth to the poor people even just a little thing.
And the next line “Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone,” maybe it means the egoism of catholic’s industrialist (the members of the new and predominantly Roman Catholic middle class) that have made everything is broken, Ireland become poor’s nation and they have not been compassion and feeling. And the last line in the first stanza is “It’s with O’Leary in the grave” “John O’Leary (1830 - 1907), Irish nationalist of great courage and integrity who returning to Dublin in 1885 after five years’ exile, drew Yeast and others to the nationalist cause”. It may symbolize of Yeats annoyance to Ireland people that they should be braver to take action as what O’Leary did to them previously. Maybe Yeats hoped that the Ireland people do something. So, this first stanza talks about the poet’s want, feeling and satire. He feels injustice that what catholic’s industrialist (the members of the new and predominantly Roman Catholic middle class) did, and he hoped that the Ireland people brave to do something to change their life and look what the O’Leary did, and hoped they do the same thing. In the second stanza, in first line “Yet they were of a different kind” the phrase “different kind” show that the different of human’s kind, it means the man who brave to do something for his land, we can call it Hero. And in the next line “The names that stilled your childish play” the word “The names” symbolizes hero and “childish play” symbolizes someone who does not want to take the risk or someone who does not brave to do something for his land especially for Ireland. Probability, this sentence is a satire to someone who does not brave to do something. And the next line “they have gone about the world like wind” the word “Like wind” these words symbolizes that they are demise without the appreciation from the government though they have done the best thing for their country. And in the next line “But little time had they to pray” probability, it means they pray to God, they hope something. The word “Pray” symbolizes expectation. So, this sentence shows that they believe God and hopes God help them, I mean they hung up their expectation to God. And the sixth line “For whom the hangman’s rope was spun, and what, God help us, could they save?” the word “rope” symbolizes expectation, and “hangman” symbolizes someone who has the expectation, and “spun” symbolizes fare well. And the question “could they save?” it symbolizes doubtfulness of the poet. Probability the poet think that whose wish (pray) that will be granted by God? The wish of someone who is done the best thing for Ireland or someone who is not do anything. In the next line “Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone, it’s with O’Leary in the grave” this sentence the same meaning in the previous stanza. It may symbolize of Yeats annoyance to Ireland people that they should be braver to take action as what O’Leary did to them previously. Maybe Yeats hoped that the Ireland people do something. And t is a satire for the society in Ireland. In the third stanza, the first and second line “Was it for this the wild geese spread The grey wing upon every tide;” the word “this” symbolizes disappointment of the poet. The word “the wild geese” symbolizes civil army that war in battle field illegally. The word “geese” also refer to popular name for the Irishmen who, because of the penal laws against Catholics, were forced to flee the continent from 1691 until Catholic Emancipation in 1829. One hundred and twenty thousand fought in the armies of France, Spain, and Austria. Many people in Ireland who became an army for help some countries in war. They spread to Austria, France, and Spain etc. and in the next line “For this that all that blood was shed” the word “ this” symbolizes the disappointment, anger of William Butler Yeats, the word “blood was shed” these word symbolizes immolation that can be death ending. Maybe this stanza means the poet feels disappointed because they struggle for others country and leave their country, they acquiesce to died for help others country. And many Irish more or less 120.000 was died at that time. And next line “For this Edward Fitzgerald died” Edward Fitzgerald join with an organization (united Irishmen) that the purpose to cutting loose from the controlling of England. This sentence means they follow the war because of Edward Fitzgerald and after he died they do not know, to whom they fought, what for they fought because the leader has died. They do not know what they struggle anymore. And in the next line “And Robert Emmet and Wolfe Tone “ Theobald Wolfe Tone (1763-1798), one of the chief founders of the united Irishmen (an Irish nationalist organization), committed suicide in prison in Dublin. Lord Edward Fitzgerald (1763- 1803), also an Irish patriot, was executed for treason after a heroic career”. They are patriots of Ireland. And in the next line “All that delirium of the brave? ” the word “delirium” symbolizes from desperate , it means they feel desperate because the leaders has died. And the next line “Romantic Ireland’s died and gone, It’s with O’Leary in the grave” the word “Romantic Ireland” symbolizes from the patriot of Ireland. They had died. Because they feel desperate so, they said “Romantic Ireland’s died and gone, It’s with O’Leary in the grave” it also show that they do not know what they must do. And the last stanza of this poem, in the first line “yet could we turn the years again” this sentence symbolizes the remorse of Irish, they hoped time can be return / repeat again and they will do the best thing. And in the second and third line “And call those exiles as they were In all heir loneliness and pain,” the word “exile” refer to the patriots, the word ”Loneliness” symbolizes there is no support from the Irish, they just struggle alone. The word “pain” that means the disappointment. These lines means they feel remorse because they do not do anything, and after the patriots have died they release that they need them and they should not stay and do not do anything. And the next line “You’d cry, “Some woman’s yellow hair has maddened every mother’s son. The word ”yellow” symbolizes of prostitute. Maybe, it imagines that many women who become prostitute at that time. And it also imagines that how dissolved that country at that time. And the last line “They weighed so lightly what they gave But let them be, they’re dead and gone, they’re with O’Leary in the grave “ the sentence “They weighed so lightly what they gave” it symbolizes what they get is not the same as what they have given or done. But they do not need reward for what they done in the other hand, they hoped Irish release and want to do something to change their country like the struggle of O’Leary though he was died but his name always is remembered by all people in Ireland. Overall, actually this poem talked about the critic from William Butler Yeats to the bad situation in his country. Or the poet’s annoyed because of the Irish who do not brave to do something for their country, and willing some people do the bad thing to them. This poem also has relevance with the political issues, the political issue in this poem so strength, we can see from the problems that happened at that time, there a dispute of industry in Ireland between 20.000 workers and 300 industrialist that the larger of stock holder is Evening Herald and the Roman Catholic middle class, and it makes many workers that so poor died, the death rate of baby increase because of tuberculoses. The payment is so low. The last poetry from Philip Larkin titled at grass. We know that Philip Larkin present after World War II. This poem (at grass) has five stanzas and six lines. Now I want to try to analyses the poem titled at grass by Philip Larkin. In first stanza, in the first line “The eye can hardly pick them out” this sentence talk about someone who is difficult to differ with one and another thing, because it has the same thing or the spectator look it from the far distant so, he cannot look it clearly. In the next line “from the cold shade they shelter in” the word “shelter” symbolizes a places that make it comfortable. This sentence imagines that sadness, a sadness that the poet look, maybe he look something in the shelter in the cold situation and it looks very tearful. The word “cold shade” symbolizes the feeling of miserable, loneliness. And the next line “Till wind distress tail and main;” the word “tail” symbolizes animals the animals in this poetry means horse. The word “distress” in this poet symbolizes an uncomfortable situation that feels by the horse or this sentence means that the horse flatus it describes the base on the characteristic of animals. And the next line “Then one crops grass, and moves about” the words “crops grass” refer to a place that use for the horse race, the word “moves about” describes that the horse ready to race. And the next line “The other seeming to look on” this symbolizes the horses that ready to race they look at each other. And the last line in the stanza is “And stands anonymous again” the word “anonymous” symbolizes that the horse has been forgotten by the owner when it has been old. It means when the horse does not have lot of power to run it will be left by the owner or the horse does not become a pride anymore. So, this stanza talk about what the poet look from the horse situation in that environment, what the horse feel that seem by the poet, and the man’s behavior that just do something depend on situation and need. Probability, the horse that in the shelter is the old horse that has been forgotten by the owner, maybe, in the poet’s mind He think that the horse feels sad because the owner has forgotten him. And replace him with another horse. And the next stanza, in the first line “Yet fifteen years ago, perhaps two dozen distances sufficed to fable them: faint afternoons of cups and stakes and handicaps,” the sentence “Yet fifteen years ago” the word “yet” symbolizes the poet want to show that there is a differ between the horse race in fifteen years ago and the horse race in recent time. The word “perhaps” show that there is a change of his view or think in his mind about horse race. The sentence “to fable them: faint afternoons of cups and stakes and handicaps,” the word “faint afternoons” symbolizes the time when the horse race be held. The word “faint” symbolizes it be held in the past. The word “stakes” it describe that in the horse race there are some people who do the wager and it always happen in all race. And the word “handicaps” describes that there are a handicaps in the middle of race. The horse become a tools for human to earn money but after that they are not given the good treatment or reward when they old. The poet shows much exploitation that happen at that time and the horse becomes a victim. And in the fifth line “Whereby their names were artificed ” the word “artificed” it symbolizes someone who take the benefit of something but when he does not need it, he will be left it. And the next line “To inlay faded, classic Junes” the word “classic Junes” is the name of place that held a horse race, the horse race considered being an entertainment media at that time, they eat, drink, shout and so on. In this stanza the poet tells about many things that happens in horse race, and the poet flashback to the horse race in the past there is a different in the past many people just enjoy the race without do the exploitation to earn money they just eat, drink, shout and do all the things that make them happy without think about money, they just think about how to make themselves happy and enjoy, and in contrast, that happen in recent time they are not just watching or enjoying the race but he think that how to earn money so, they do the wager. And in the third stanza, the first line “Silk at the start: against the sky” the word “silk” symbolizes glamour, happiness. Maybe it means when the horse race starts the feelings of all members feel admire, happy and optimists or the imagination of the poet who think about jockey’s clothes that made from silk. And in the second line “Numbers and parasols: outside” maybe it means the board’s number, and jockey’s parasols and the word “outside” means the things outside of the race. It just the describes of all the things that relevance with outside the race. And the next line “Squadrons of empty cars and heat, and littered grass : then the long cry” the word “empty cars” means the cars from the people who like wager that empty, and the word “heat” describe the weather in that race or maybe it is the imagination of Philip Larkin that think that the cars that parked in the field is dirty because the ground in the field. And the word “long cry” it symbolizes the happiness, it means the long cry from someone who win in the race or someone who win in wager. And the next line “Hanging unhushed till it subside” maybe it means the pot hoped bad nuance will disappear quickly, and the next line “To stop – press columns on the street”. In this stanza the poet mostly talk about the appearance of the jockey, someone who wager, he just give the description about them, from this poetry I think the poet does not like the wager. In the fourth stanza, in first line “Do memories plague their ears like flies?” this sentence shows that the poet’s mind that think is the horse have a memories that make the horse disturbing like fly that always disturb the horse with fly around the horse, or does the horse feel disturbing with the human’s egoism that exploitation the horse to earn money. In the next line” They shake their heads. Dusk brims the shadows.” The phrase “they shake their heads” it symbolizes that they do not feel disturb with the all the thing that human do to them, that make them disturb is just the fly which fly around them. And the sentence “Dusk brims the shadow” the word “Dusk” symbolizes the end of life where all horses take a rest and in this time race will end, there is no horse race in the evening it describe that all people back to their life. And there are no people who take a benefit from it, it also can describe all calm. And in the next line “Summer by summer all stole away,” this sentence describe the time have fleeting and the word “Summer” symbolizes from happiness or the new life, it also imagine the commutation from the old horse become the young horse. The phrase “all stole away” it symbolizes that time like a stole that covertly change or the time that suddenly changed. And the next line “The starting-gates, the crowd and cries” it means the description of the condition in race horse arena. And the next line “All but the unmolesting meadows.” This symbolizes that in his race there is no people who take the advantages from it, this sentence means “Summer” is the new beginning so everything has changed to be a good thing, every people has changed there is no the exploitation to animal in this poetry especially horses. And the next line “Almanacked, their names live; they” this sentence symbolizes that the behavior of human has changed, they love the horse sincerely. They give a reward for the horse and give a good treatment for them whether they old or young, powerful or weak, the man will love them. In this stanza, talk about the change of human’s behavior, marked from summer that symbolizes new life be better life. In the last stanza in first line “Have slipped their names, and stand at ease,” the word “stand at ease” symbolizes the happiness of horses that feel comfortable. In the next line “Or gallop for what must be joy , ” this sentence symbolizes the horse’s freedom, it means the horse do not feel burden, they run because they want to run, there is no restraint that they feel, they enjoy to do something, it shows the horse feel happier than before. And in the next line “And not a fieldglass sees them home,” the word “them” refer to the horse, now, there is no binoculars that spy them, they really free. And the next line “Or curious stop-watch prophesies” the word “stop- watch” symbolizes the thing that make them feel restraint. And there is no things that make them force to do something, and there is no wage that makes them uncomfortable. And the next line “only he grooms, and the grooms boy” the sentence imagine that there is man who treat a horse well namely the grooms. The last line is “with bridles in the evening come” evening symbolizes the end of the life, it means the horse must back to the stable. Larkin just tells about what he look and feel. In this poetry Larkin tells the changed of the behavior in the different time. We can see the social issue in this poem, Larkin show the humanism in this poem, and He feel happy when see there is no bridles that horse feel. We know that Ted Hughes and Philip Larkin is modernist or modern literature because they present after World War II, Ted Hughes in his poetry he tells something that he feels, think and see at that time. It almost the same with Philip Larkin that tells about what he look, feel, see and think. But the different is the issues that they talked in this poem Ted Hughes shows the psychological issue and Larkin shows the social issues in his poem. And Yeats is modernism literature because they present in early of 20th century. The poetries from William Butler Yeats both of them talk about political issues that happen in Ireland at that time, in these poems both of them there is a sentence that repeated in every stanza. The conclusion, there is a different between modernist and modernism literature, in Yeast poetry the topic talk about political issues than in these poetry there are have many correlation with different letters, things. And the poetry from Hughes and Larkin just give us the information about what they look and feel, and there is no correlation between other texts.
