The-poems-that-should-be-analyzed

Last Tuesday, I joined Poetry Explication class. My nice-nanana-lecturer gave us a poem from Robert Browning, and asked us to find the imagery. Hoo, I guess I am not imaginative enough to do it. Hhh, unfortunately I have to. -_______-

Meeting at Night

by Robert Browning (1812-1889)

The gray sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.

 

Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue spurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, through its joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each!

Have you found the imagery of that poem, Heem? Okay, of course yes. My lecturer has told me in the class. Hahaha -___________-

Oiyap, I have an assignment to find the other poems to be analyzed. Parting at Morning by Robert Browning and The Sick Rose by William Blake. Here they are...

Parting at Morning

by Robert Browning (1812-1889)

Round the cape of a sudden came the sea,
And the sun looked over the mountain's rim:
And straight was a path of gold for him,
And the need of a world of men for me.

The Sick Rose

by William Blake (1757-1827)

O rose, thou art sick!
     The invisible worm,
That flies in the night,
     In the howling storm,

Has found out thy bed
     Of crimson joy,
And his dark secret love
     Does thy life destroy.

Umm, anyway..is it important to post this matter, Tiara?? Hahaha
