A man who drives a carriage to the speaker’s grave. The arguments to support this statement are that she mentions Death as a“he”. “We slowly drove, he knew no haste” This quote also illustrates that Death doesn’t hurry so it’s okay for him to drive slowly. He just takes his time and does his job which is to drive the carriage to the grave. The speaker describes Death as a person and humanizes him instead of seeing him as a condition or a concept as others often do. The speaker

A Vision In “I heard a Fly buzz”; Emily Dickinson expresses to her readers about the emotional instability she feels while on her deathbed. She has written several poems about death, but this one differs from her other poems because it is told from her perspective, in accordance with her final moments. The poem creates several powerful images that arouse various possible explanations. It is easiest to understand how the poem (and her death) unfolds by reviewing the poem stanza by stanza

Close Reading of Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 46” Of the many themes explored in Shakespeare’s Sonnets, number 46 explores an idea that only a few others (24,38,47) touch upon—the roles of the eyes and the heart in the manifestation of love. Utilizing conceit—or a fanciful form of extended metaphor—Shakespeare tackles the extant renaissance notion of the eye and the heart from a more infatuating, legal standpoint. In the case of number 46, the verdict is simple: lustful, longing eyes will always be

In the poem “The Broken Heart” by John Donne, the speaker clearly has a broken heart. In this poem the author uses imagery to reveal his mournful, passionate, and saddened attitude toward his feelings about love. And you are able to see his heart slowly get broken as you read each stanza throughout the poem. In the first stanza, the speaker opens by saying that love is not something that is limited by time. When the speaker says: “He is stark mad,.../ That he hath been in love an hour,/ Yet not

specific items, such as a mother’s watch or a home the speaker has loved in the past. The idea appears to be that if you’re comfortable with smaller, insignificant losses, when larger, more important ones come along, you’ll be prepared to cope. As the poetry flows on, we wonder whether the speaker is teaching the audience about this “art of losing” because she has mastered it, or is she trying to convince herself that it’s okay, that after her grieving process she will be okay? This goes unanswered.

In literature home is rarely portrayed as a place of perfect happiness. Compare and contrast this for ‘The House’ and ‘The New House’. I believe that the poem ‘The New House’ by Edward Thomas is about a person, most likely the poet due to the first person narrative that has moved into a new house. However, we can see from the language used in the poem that he does not like the house, and it constantly disappoints him. Robert Minhinnick’s poem ‘The House’, is, in my opinion, about a man in the loft
