    Shelley‚ “Ode to the West Wind” (1) How do the natural elements (like the wind‚ the cloud‚ the sea‚ fire‚ etc) serve the poet’s artistic ambitions? How can they help him in achieving his purpose? The poet is directing his speech to the wind which blows across the earth and through the seasons. The wind is able to preserve and to destroy all on its way. The wind takes control over clouds‚ seas‚ weather‚ and more. Recognizing its power‚ the speaker realizes that he could use the wind’s power

    meaning in "To Autumn." “To Autumn‚” written by John Keats was written as an ode‚ expressing the endearment of the autumn season. In his poem Keats employs many elements in order to evoke passion and meaning over the beauty of the season. By using imagery‚ personification and structure Keats is able to mold his poem into conveying autumn as a parallel to life at its fullest with the creeping melancholy lurking close by.

    Close Reading Assignment: John Keats: “On Fame” John Keats talks about fame and the desire of people to posses it.

    In his English sonnet “When I Have Fears” (pg. 17‚ Vendler)‚ John Keats attempts to put into words the human emotions felt when dealing with death. I believe that Keats wrote this poem to describe the natural order of emotions he went through while thinking of his own mortality. The tone of the sonnet takes a “roller coaster” course throughout the poem from one quatrain to the next. With careful examination one can see that Keats used the first quatrain to describe a state of utter confusion‚ the

    John Keats poems "Ode to a Nightingale" and "Ode on a Grecian Urn" seem to have been written with the intention of describing a moment in one’s life‚ like that of the fleeting tune of a nightingale or a scene pictured on an urn. Within each of these moments a multitude of emotions are established‚ with each morphing from one to another very subtly. What is also more subtle about these two poems is their differences. While they do touch on very similar topics‚ the objects used to personify Keats
