Anyway this is more complex poem than "Ode to Autumn‚" consisting of eight stanzas and is a little more irregular in structure. Each stanza

Tuesday‚ March 6‚ 2007 Ode to Evening - William Collins Introduction: “Ode to Evening‚” is one among the most enduring poems of William Collins.

Thus evening is presented as the transition between light and darkness. Collins’

The speaker feels as though he has been poisoned or drugged since he can not see the nightingale. The birds’ song has this paralyzing effect

My first impression of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café was that it was a “woman’s” novel. This was because the movie‚ which was more popular than the book‚ was advertised as a “chick flick”. To say the least‚ I was wrong. The novel poses many issues that face the people of the 1920’s and 30’s‚ and makes one think about what people have struggled through. The novel addresses the issue of racism before the time of Martin Luther King Jr. and
