.... young limbs as smooth as flower pollen." This suggests her tenderness and delicate manner. She seems to omit a certain glow and gentleness that he cherishes. A single touch from her "flower soft fingers" makes him feel alive, and whole. She was torn from his life, but he feels blessed for even experiencing that love. The poet refers to her as "The whitest pouring of eternal light." She was like a small shaft of light pouring into the dark room of his life. A reoccurring image is found quite often throughout the poem which adds a crisp flavor to the piece. The word "gold" is used frequently. This image refers to the princess. It reflects and portrays .....

.... her to become accessible to him. In real time, Marvell gives examples of her aging and how she will go to the grave with her pride if she doesn't give in. Finally, the use of "optimum time" plays on her emotions of how sweet the opportunity to make love to her would be. Marvell tells his mistress that the act would be almost animalistic and intense. Throughout the poem, he uses the phases of time in an attempt to frighten her into having sex with him. All three stanza's in the poem represent a different time frame. The first gives his mistress a feeling of unconditional love. He leads her to believe he would give all he has to her as long as t .....

.... this goal through the dramatic monologue. In this form of poetry, a fictitious or historical character reveals a personal testimony of his life, often disclosing the undesirable attributes of his character. While some of Browning’s monologues serve to inform and entertain, others provide a hidden message for the reader to cogitate. After reviewing the circumstances and issues concerning the speaker’s life, the reader forms a moral approval or disapproval. Thus, the dramatic monologue has a central objective: The reader must determine a final judgment of the speaker. In his dramatic monologues, Browning expresses his own convictions through the use of .....

.... Florence. He entered the army as a youth and held several important positions in the Florence government during the 1290's. During his life, Florence was divided politically between Guelphs and Ghibellines. The Guelphs supported the church and liked to keep things as they were, unlike the Ghibellines. The Ghibellines were mostly supporters of the German emperor and at the time Dante was born, were relieved of their power. When this change took place, the Guelphs for whom Dante's family was associated took power. Although born into a Guelph family, Dante became more neutral later in life realizing that the church was corrupt, believing it should only be involv .....

.... list of successful business ventures, in which, he was able to hand down from generation to generation. Venture Smith was brought to Long Island and made a slave. He was forced to accept his new way of life while having to cope with the memories of seeing his father brutally tortured at a very young age. He was separated from his land, his family and all that he knew. He was treated as mere chattel when he was forced to carry a 25-pound grinding stone on top of his head at the age of six. His master, Robert Mumford, tried to break his pride constantly by exerting harsh and swift punishments. He possessed no civil rights and in the eyes of the law he .....

.... On First Looking into Chapman's Homer, the description of his experiences overflows with youth and excitement. But as the poem continues the writing is toned down to convey the most important and meaningful experience. Keats describes how after traveling in lands of gold, and seeing many great states and kingdoms, he never truly realized the wonders of these things until reading Chapman's translation of Homer. Crossing many western islands bards have sung about, he never was able to comprehend their true serene nature until reading man's wondrous words. This narration explains that though these were sights well visited , their beauty and Keats imaginati .....

.... lamentation, a sorrow that a statue proclaiming as the greatest king the world has ever known is now reduced to rubble; and not just the physical aspect but the glory of the king is also long forgotten. In Shelley's "",there are two speakers; the first speaker introduced the poem for the first line and then the second speaker carries the poem to realization. It is ironic that the words inscribed on the pedestal "Look on my works. . . and despair!" reflect the evidence of the next line, "Nothing beside remains," that is, there is nothing left of the reign of the greatest king on earth.One immediate image is found in the second line, "trunkless legs.". One good .....

.... streets show that the government is prohibiting them to climb the success ladder. They are placed in poverty and this is just a reminder to them that they will stay. The common man is also bound by "mind forged manacles", which manifest themselves in every action. That the manacles are of the minds is significant, for the mind is the freest part of the individual. The body may be constrained by the environment, by other bodies, by health, or any number of other restraints. The heart, which is to say the emotions , are pulled this way and that by the influence of others. Even the soul, according to predestinists, is limited by the supply or lack of div .....
