Comparing Pamphilia To Amphilantus, I, And Your Eyes
The two poems “Pamphilia to Amphilantus” by Mary Wroth and “I… and your eyes” by Ethridge Knight differ in many ways but yet are similar. Love and admiration are the central ideas of these poems. Poem A compares love to a juggler, but Wroth ends the poem by mentioning that love’s gain, or the juggler’s gain in this instance, can result in a lost. Poem B is a poem that is based entirely on admiration for someone, evidence to support can be found throughout the poem with all the different examples of vivid imagery. Poem A has rhyme in each line of the poem, unlike Poem B which uses repetition. Both poems are centralized around affection of some type, though the poems differ in certain ways. Love and admiration are inspiration of both poems.

    Compare the Views of Relationships in ‘the Unequal Fetters’ with Those in ‘to His Coy Mistress’. What Is Suggested About the Different Ways in Which Men and Women View Love?

    Both poems share the same theme of love but they do not share the same view about love in general. The poems differentiate in many ways; they both have very different meanings. 'The Unequal Fetters' was written from the point of view of a woman whereas 'To His Coy Mistress' was by the point of view of a man. This is good because we get different opinions via the two different genders on how they perceived love and how they enforced love in to their life. Although they share the same theme they were written in different times periods which may influence the opinion of love authored by each poet.'The Unequal Fetters' was written in the late seventeenth century early eighteenth, and 'To His Coy Mistress' was written in the mid seventeenth century. 'The Unequal Fetters' concentrates on the tie of women in marriage, and 'To His Coy Mistress' relates to seductive love.…

    In both poems, the mother and father are working very hard to maintain their family needs and to keep everything in order.

    Harmonium and nettles

    Furthermore they both include the reality of family life as the poems are realistic and the poems, especially Nettles, have both the love and misery of family relationships. In Nettles the love in the poem is the protective instincts of a parent towards his son but the misery is the Nettles that had hurt his child and the fact that being protective isn’t enough to stop him from getting hurt. The realistic relationship in Harmonium is the family resentment and frustration from a son to his father. We can tell that the writer resents and is frustrated by his father as it says “and he being him can’t help but say.......... and I, being me” which shows that he is frustrated at their relationship. However the Harmonium is used to describe his father so therefore his family life whereas in Nettles it is reversed. The Nettles, that had caused pain for the boy, is actually describing soldiers and war therefore the underlying message is not about family but about war and the underlying message in Harmonium is not about the Harmonium but about family.…

    To The Virgins Analysis

    The general subject to both of these poems is the fact that they both have to do with love, and sex. Although in the poem To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time the writer is talking about all young girls to lose their virginity. I know it is directed to all young girls because in line 10 it states, “When youth and blood are warmer.” When he says “youth” he is talking about young girls. The poem To His Coy Mistress is talking about how the writer wants one,a certain girl in particular to have sex with him. He is doing all he by convincing her and trying his best for her to say yes. In lines 15-19 he says, “Two…

    The thing that makes both of the poems alike is that they both serve the same purpose in explaining the lives of two different people but the common chain between the both of them is that one is young and the other is old. The both of them play off of each other in the sense that the poem about the younger generation who are rushing through their lives skipping school, staying out late shooting pool and dying before their time. While in the old one, the men are enjoying their lives and living it to the fullest knowing they are not going to live forever.…

    On Being Brought from Africa to America vs. an Hymn to the Evening

    In the poems, , they shared many similarities. One similarity is that they both used apostrophes to make their rhythm come together. Some examples would be the words “refin’d, heavn’s, th’angelic, fill’d, and heav’nly.” Another way they compare is that they both use biblical references. Various examples are that in the first poem she ended it with “May be refin’d and join th’angelic train” and also in the second poem she said “Fill’d with the praise of him who gives the light,” both referring to God and the heavens. Throughout both of the poems she expresses how happy she was to be brought to America and be placed in the family she was. Phillis also shows that she was happy to have learned Christianity and that she found God. Those are only a few similarities I noticed, but I’m sure there are plenty more.…
