The Rhodora grows in solitude, away from other flowers that are considered to be immensely beautiful. “The Rhodora” contemplates the beauty of a simple flower and its effect on its surroundings. In the poem, Emerson’s speaker discovers that

The imaginative images are intended to shock the reader as they bring the poet's point across by force; Owen was the first poet to expose his concept of futility so graphically to his audience. The inclusive tome shows that no man escapes from the suffering reality. This is seen in the first phrase: “our brains ache”, the word “word” is an inclusive

Children explore. Adults are content to walk the same way, hundreds of times, or thousands; perhaps it never occurs to adults to step off the paths, to creep beneath rhododendrons, to find the spaces between fences. I was a child, which meant that I knew a dozen different ways of getting out of our property and into the lane, ways that would not involve walking down our drive.” This brilliant passage shows us how different
The gentleman used to be a passionate person because he had taken good care of his house and garden. He built “the walkway” in front of his house and planted “the rhododendron” in the backyard (lines 16,17). The man also used to be a normal and happy person when he was young.
