.... express himself. These other quirks would include using desired capitalization rather than when appropriate, “incorrect� use of parenthesis and other puncuation, as well as incorrect use of grammar. In the analysis of the poems, “Anyone Lived in a Pretty How Town�, “Once like a Spark�, “Up into the Silence the Green� as well as any other of Cummings poems, it necessary to remember that he is best understood when approached on his own terms. In trying to understand meaning in his work it is necessary to avoid simple linguistic interpretation and focus on what the deeper meaning is. In “Once Like a Spark�, he uses the charcters and .....

.... rhetorical questions, whether “they call virtue there ungratefulness?� (line 15), or whether “they above love to be loved, and yet/ Those lovers scorn whom that love doth possess?� (line 13-14). Sir Philip Sideney believes that the answers to these questions can be found out from the moon, for the moon is omniscient. He further believes that the moon “can judge of love�, and can solve his love troubles, as a “ lozenge of love� (Sad Steps, line 11) would. Sir Philip Sidney's attitude toward the moon is quite serious, which is also the tone of the essay. He takes the moon very seriously, as if it were divine. He adds character to t .....

.... with his youthful opponent Brecca. Not only had Beowulf been swimming for seven nights, he had also stopped to kill nine sea creatures in the depths of the ocean. Beowulf is also strong enough to kill the monster Grendel, who has been terrorizing the Danes for twelve years, with his bare hands by ripping off his arm. When Beowulf is fighting Grendel's mother, who is seeking revenge on her son's death, he is able to slay her by slashing the monster's neck with a Giant's sword that can only be lifted by a person as strong as Beowulf. When he chops off her head, he carries it from the ocean with ease, but it takes four men to lift and carry it back t .....

.... Green Fuse Drives the Flower," he uses different techniques and language to make each poem more effective to the reader.

It was not found in English literature until the late nineteenth century. It derives from peasant life, originally being a type of round sung.

For Dylan Thomas, its strictly disciplined rhyme scheme and verse format provided the framework through which .....

.... can mean the act of going to church. The meaning of church has left. The young people are there only because their parents taught them that this was the right thing to do. And, the older people are there out of a sense of duty. Belief is not a factor or consideration. The title is trying to portray going to church as a perfunctory task programmed into the train of thought. To the people in this poem going to church is like grocery shopping. It is something that must be done. Everyone knows it is the right thing to do, except in this case many people do not understand the concept behind it. Religion does not make a difference. If their parents .....

.... fulfillment in nature, he also finds disgust in the world's neglect of nature. His sonnet, 'The World Is Too Much with Us' deals primarily with his dissatisfaction with the world.Wordsworth criticizes mankind for misdirecting its abilities. 'Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers' (2:TW) Wordsworth also hopes that the world would find more of itself in nature, similar to his desire for his sister in his poem, 'Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey', to gain an interest in nature. 'For this, for everything, we are out of tune;' (8:TW) Wordsworth also makes reference to the Greek gods of the sea in this sonnet, who are associated wit .....

.... psychiatrist has a lust for young girls and the director is becoming worried about his age. The poet regards herself as one of the undiagnosed “There is no cure for us� she wants someone to show understanding. It is very disquieting to see hospital staff presented in this light, as no doubt it is quite true that people who work in hospitals have the same traits that the rest of us have. But we prefer to see people who are in charge of our health, our recovery or our lives even, as better and stronger than that. The title “Patients� has two sets of values. It is referring to the general patients of the hospital and also it is saying that eve .....

.... by life, and they felt a sort of peace each in the other. [7]There was a verification which they had had together. [8]Nothing could nullify it, nothing could take it away; it was almost their belief in life. [9]But Clara was not satisfied. [10]Something great was there, she knew; something great enveloped her. [11]But it did not keep her. [12]In the morning it was not the same. [13]They had known, but she could not keep the moment. [14]She wanted it again; she wanted something permanent. [15]She had not realized fully. [16]She thought it was he whom she wanted. [17]He was not safe to her. [18]This that had been between them might never be a .....

.... before reason. In RAM, the ancient mariner kills the albatross not for need or in distress, or for any reason that mariner can deduce the result. He has unknowingly taken on a huge burden, and the quest begins to extract all the rash impulsiveness of mankind. The mariner now must search for moral, spiritual and internal rationality, and this goal is expressed in the poem as a type of blessing or relief which he must earn. In 'Kubla Khan', Coleridge expresses man's social instinct to conform and belong to a group. This also relates to the creation of rituals and rules by the human- being and the obeying of the cycle of life to death, again and again. .....

.... speaker of the poem has a lot of work to do and he is stopping in the woods to watch the snow. It would be very convenient for him to watch the snow as he continues traveling, however he finds it necessary to stop his wagon. This shows that the speaker is willing to pause his life in order to entirely absorb the tranquillity of the snow falling in the woods. The appreciative tone appropriately expresses his purpose for stopping. He wants to truly appreciate this moment. “The darkest evening of the year� (8) “The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake� (11) “The woods are lovely, dark and deep� (14) Most people w .....
