‘Sunlight on the garden’ by Louis MacNeice It starts to become apparent that MacNeice talks about the finality of death. We are shown this in the first stanza where MacNeice states that the ‘sunlight in the garden hardens and grows cold’. . The sunlight‚ which displays a sense of warmth and beauty‚ ‘grows cold’. The phrase ‘grow cold’ clearly shows that we will eventually experience death. This is also a reference to a battle field‚ this image has been used to express the horror and pain war inflicts

CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF LOUIS MACNEICE’S "THE SUNLIGHT ON THE GARDEN" The sunlight on the garden Hardens and grows cold‚ We cannot cage the minute Within its nets of gold; When all is told We cannot beg for pardon. Our freedom as free lances Advances towards its end; The earth compels‚ upon it Sonnets and birds descend; And soon‚ my friend‚ We shall have no time for dances. The sky was good for flying Defying the church bells And every evil iron Siren and what it tells: The earth compels‚ We are dying

Port Sunlight was built in the late 1880s by William Hesketh Lever (later Viscount Leverhulme) to expand his soap-making business‚ which was at that time based in Warrington.

Critical Appreciation This particular speech has become more famous than most of Shakespeare’s soliloquies and is quoted on a daily basis. The meaning of the soliloquy is quite simple. Hamlet is on the verge of committing suicide and starts by questioning whether or not it is better to live or die.

Critical appreciation ‘One art’ Elizabeth Bishop’s six-stanza villanelle ‘one art’ is a misleading poem dealing with the struggle of mastering the issue of loss and how to interpret it. Through the use of a rather casual tone and understatement‚ as well as crescendo stanzas‚ Bishop succeeds to mislead the reader and bring the dramatic last stanza as an unexpected outcome‚ quite in contrast with the rest of the poem. My analysis will try to show how through the use of language‚ tone and poetic devices

Hopkins’s “Pied Beauty” is one of such poems. “Pied Beauty” points to poet’s power of sensuous appreciation of the beauty of the things around‚ his poetic concentration‚ compassion and above all‚ his unquestioning faith in God. All nature is good;
