analytical Essay
683 words
Forgetfulness is a hard part of almost all people’s lives and we can observe by reading the poems different ways to see the world and the problems that get in out way, some may face it with grace while other may feel like they are not living and just existing and stress the idea that they can’t control what happens in them.
The first poem is from Hart Crane and I believed each stanza is concealed but underneath it is a clear evidence of what he is going through. In this poem he is trying to express his own experience and I believe that at his time and place maybe he was suffering from dementia or he was classified with a mental illness that didn’t allow him to remember moments and when reality hits him is when he writes the the poem.
In the first stanza “is like a song” he tries to express that forgetfulness can be beautiful and uncontrolled just like a song. In the second stanza he starts reflecting his difficulty to remember (how does one "bury Gods"?) he is trying to express his feeling to forgetfulness as if it was a person. Crane is trying to make us feel rather than just telling us what is like, he is trying to build empathy through the

1242 wordsRead More - Poetry Explication Of Susan Mitchell's The Deadanalytical essayShe starts by telling us what she thinks the dead are doing. She is putting this picture in the reader’s head of dead down by the river drinking to start out the poem. The second line and the beginning of the third line talking about unburdening themselves of their fears and worries for us makes the reader think of someone that has passed that they knew. By saying this, she is trying to get the point across that the dead are thinking of us, like we think of them. The thought of the dead still caring and worried about us will later be strengthened in the poem when the writer starts using memories in the poem. Mitchell then says “They take out the old photographs.” she starts using memories to start making feelings more deep. Lines four and five continue this, stating “They pat the lines in our hands and tell our futures, which are cracked and yellow.”. These lines contain a metaphor comparing our futures to something cracked and yellow. Her directly stating that our futures are cracked and yellow, gives a very depressing vibe. This is foreshadowing that she is depressed about something, that we will later find about at the end of the poem. In the first five lines of the poem, the writer is talking about the the dead and what they are doing. Even though she doesn’t really know what they are doing, she puts a picture in our

697 wordsRead More - True Love Poem Analysisanalytical essayThe tone in the first 11 stanzas of the poem seems very resigned; the speaker has accepted that the world is moving on without them. They says things like “I don’t reproach the spring for starting up again” and “I don’t resent the view for its vista of a sun-dazzled bay”. By using words like “resent” and “reproach”, the author indirectly implies that the speaker has a reason to dislike beautiful things. The grief that has affected the speaker so much hasn’t affected life itself and they has come to accept that. The author chooses to use phrases like ‘it doesn’t pain me to see” and “I respect their right” which show how the speaker has completely detached themself from the word around them. While everything outside is starting to come back to life, the speaker is anything but lively. “I expect nothing from the depths near the woods.” They don’t expect anything from the world and want the world to do the same thing in return. This detachment proves that the speaker feels resigned about themself and the world around
