    It uses vivid images to illustrate points about the opinion of the actions seen. For example, the image of the maiden white as marble can be compared to the dead roe deer wrapped in white rushes. This observational approach seems that author is seeing this happen. With that in mind, the poem appears to be writing in first person, and the maiden and her seducer actions are the main focus of the poem.…

    Shakespeare’s sonnet 130, “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun” and Pablo Neruda’s “My ugly love” are popularly known to describe beauty in a way hardly anyone would write: through the truth. It’s a common fact that modern lovers and poets speak or write of their beloved with what they and the audience would like to hear, with kind and breathtaking words and verses. Yet, Shakespeare and Neruda, honest men as they both were, chose to write about what love truly is, it matters most what’s on the inside rather than the outside. The theme of true beauty and love are found through Shakespeare and Neruda’s uses of imagery, structure, and tone.…

    Harold Bloom, a Yale University professor, once said that “George Gordon, Lord Byron, is literature’s most notorious instance of a writer’s life becoming his work, indeed taking the place of it.” (Pesta, Bloom and Willis 1). Lord Byron was a famous poet that illustrated his emotions through his literature very effectively. Ironically, Byron enjoyed reading and writing, but hated poetry at an early age (Pesta, Bloom and Willis 9). However, Byron’s first piece of literature to be published, called “Fugitive Pieces,” was introduced in November, 1806 (Pesta, Bloom and Willis 21). Many factors contributed to the various writing styles and themes of Lord Byron’s literature; his troubled childhood as well as the way that he obsessed over sexual relationships…

    Lord Bryon 's, born George Gordon Byron, inspiration for this particular poem came from seeing his cousin by marriage at "party of Lady Sitwell 's on 12 June 1814, where she 'appeared in mourning, with dark spangles on her dress." (Needler, 2010). Bryon looked on upon her from afar and even though she was saddened, he couldn 't help but see her true beauty. Seeing his cousin this way was as if someone had stripped away everything, the fake smiles, the manners, the elegant dresses, etc. to reveal her true self. In the first stanza of the poem, "She walks in beauty, like the night / Of cloudless climes and starry skies;" is a simile allowing the reader to see her as Bryon saw her, the light in all the darkness that surrounded her at that moment. ("She Walks in Beauty" as cited in Clugston, 2010, lines 1 & 2). She was the star in the dark sky. The use of the enjambment in the lines mentioned indicates that the thought continues without a pause onto the second line.…

    Shakespeare’s sonnet, My Mistress’ Eyes, explores the common and oft-heard comparisons created concerning one’s love to the material objects of beauty, and considers the value within such correlations.

    Poems, like stories and novels, often have themes and ideas that are expressed. In the two poems I read, de los Santos’ “Perfect Dress” and Hoagland’s “Beauty”, it is apparent that great thought was put into themes of beauty and into the ideas and opinions behind it. Through analyzation of these two poems I will collectively share the opinions and uncover perhaps previously unrealized perspectives that perhaps is not originally apparent…

    Although he was a Romantic poet, Byron saw much of his best work as descriptions of reality as it exists, not how it is imagined. Thus, the subjects of numerous of his poems come from history and personal experience. The “Darkness” was written to reflect the mass madness that arose out of susceptible visionary understandings related to the natural disaster of a volcano’s eruption. He also uses the themes of life and death to show its importance during the Romantic Era. The theme of nature is also brought up throughout the poem which is another theme of the Romantic Era.…

In the poem, it states, "How can it harm you if I choose, astutely, rather to stock my mind with things of beauty, than waste its stock on every beauty's claim?". Rather than making herself look beautiful on the outside, she focus on making herself beautiful from within by finding the goods she has in her and understanding the importance of her existence in the world.…

    Next, the poet's attitude on the subject of inner and outer beauty is one that is somewhat mocking. For example, to say that one's inner beauty cannot compare to one's outer beauty and therefore is something to apologize for is extreme. "She was healthy, tested intelligent, possessed strong arms and back, abundant sexual drive and manual dexterity. She went to and fro…
