Well Hunting Poem Theme
Well, hunting is in the title of the poem, and it's all over the poem too

literally everywhere. But this isn't a poem about going out and shootin' something for dinner. No, no, no

it's about hunting a woman (not literally of course). It's about chasing a girl in a romantic and sexual kind of way, with the catch that the girl belongs to somebody else (gasp). The speaker is trying to stop hunting her, but something about her is making that really impossible. He encourages others to try (which seems kind of mean), and tells them they'll fail as well. She's too wild, just like a

    Homer painted A Huntsman and Dogs in the year 1881. This paint depicts a man on a barren plain with his dogs.

    In the poem “The Hunter in The Snow” by William Carlos Williams, Williams addresses his observations and interpretations of the 1565 painting Hunters in The Snow by Pieter Brueghel. Williams starts the poem off talking about the landscape of the painting. He says “the overall picture is winter icy mountains in the background.” By saying this, he wants us to understand the setting of the painting, and probably wants us to focus specifically on the winter time, and what people do at this time. Moving forward, Williams then states in lines 3-7 “the return from the hunt it is toward evening from the left, sturdy hunters lead in their pack.”…

    'Simon Lee, The Old Huntsman, With an incident in which he was concerned' is a poem by William Wordsworth. Written in 1798 (Anthology p420), 'Simon Lee' was one of the poems included by Wordsworth in his Lyrical Ballads. The purpose or meaning of this poem is debatable, but in his own Preface to the Lyrical Ballads, Wordsworth says that he wishes to 'follow the fluxes and refluxes of the mind when agitated by the great and simple affections of our nature' in the case of Simon Lee, 'by placing my reader in the way of receiving from ordinary moral sensations another and more salutary impression than we are accustomed to receive from them' (Anthology, p85, l122 & 133). Wordsworth uses a variety of poetic techniques to ensure that his reader receives these 'moral sensations' and to aid them in understanding his purpose when writing Simon Lee.…
