Ambiguity In To Autumn And La Belle Dame Sanns Merci

The poem “A Fit of Rhyme against Rhyme” is a response to Samuel Daniel’s prose essay A Defence of Rhyme, in which Daniel describes rhyme as an “antidote to endless motion, to confusion, to mere sensation, to the sway of the passions” (Reading the Early Modern Passions: Essays in the Cultural History of Emotion, 146); while Jonson’s response describes rhyme as a “rack of finest wits, that expresseth but by fits true conceit” (1072, 1-3). Jonson’s poem ironically uses rhyme to ridicule rhyme in a satirical way in order to portray what he understood as “the plain style” of writing poetry. Dylan Thomas’ poem, on the other hand, is about the poetic art and its audience, describing the writing of poetry as a “craft” and “art”. Both poems discuss the relationship between the poets and their poetry using rhyme; but only Thomas’ poem deals more with the audience, which by indifference make his art “sullen”. Ben Jonson himself considered that any good poet (in his art) “must first think, and excoriate his matter; then choose his

She means for him to realize that, unless he finds the strength and the courage to shed his developed false image, his poetry, the thing he cherishes most, the figurative encapsulation of Jason, will inevitably lose its value. His falseness, in a sense, plagues the beautiful realities of his poems, which are symbols for Jason’s self. In many ways, Mme. C is Jason 's call to reality. In a

Ovid’s story telling of Echo and Narcissus myth in Metamorphoses shows how excessive self-love can be destructive and result in loneliness; which Fred Chappell’s poem, “Narcissus and Echo” explores this notion of loneliness corresponding with vanity. In this adaptation, there is a body of water that Narcissus gazes and speaks with while Echo’s voice is only heard as a repeated rhyme which is overlooked by Narcissus. The poem includes imagery from Ovid’s myth including the allusions of the flower and Narcissus’ inability of to live apart from himself. The way the poem is formatted it shows Echo’s words as thoughts or her words are unheard by the main character because he does not respond. The poem is about Narcissus voicing his thoughts as

“If life must not be taken too seriously, then so neither must death” -Samuel Butler. Perhaps some believe in this quote although on a deeper level it can be seen as foolish and ignorant. In the short story, “The Masque of the Red Death”, the author, Edgar Allan Poe, applies an abundance of literary devices to make evident the foolishness of ignoring death’s inevitability by comparing life and death. Essentially Poe utilizes allusions throughout the story to barry a deeper meaning into the text of the story. A sample of an allusion is this quote, “And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death.

“I hate you truly. Truly I do” Stanza 1 line 1. The speaker use of the words, truly, displays irony throughout the poem. The words “Truly I do” are mostly associated with love and romance. The poet changes what is perceived into something that’s unexpected.

The rational part of the soul is the quiet, stable and not easy to imitate or understand. Poets aim to imitate the worst parts of the soul, the parts that are easily excitable and over the top. Poems appeal to the worst parts of the soul and nourish it while diverting energy away from the rational part. Finally, poetry corrupts the best souls. It deceives people into sympathizing with those who grieve excessively, who lust inappropriately, and who laugh at unintelligent humor.

The overall meaning of “A Fit of Rhyme Against Rhyme” is that poets, should rather than ignore rhyme, accept it as something that has importance and tolerate its presence. The poem, A Fit of Rhyme Against Rhyme, by Edgar Allan Poe, states,” All good poetry hence was flown / And art banish’d, (Jonson line 14-15)” which has a tone of being disappointed since poetry seemed to evolve and all the originality seemed to disappear in the authors perspective. The text that shows a tone of frustration would be when it says, “Not a line deserving praise, / Pallas frowning, (Jonson line 29-30)” because with all the change, he doesn’t like the fact that they keep creating new forms of doing poetry and not considering the old way of rhyme. The tone hopeful

An imitative image is one that hides its true nature and seeks to deceive its audience. It pretends to be real and have substance, but in reality, it is nothing more than an illusion. Ovid, a Roman poet, discusses the nature of imitative images in the story of Narcissus from his narrative poem, Metamorphoses. When Narcissus falls in love with a man who he later finds out is his nothing more than his own reflection, Ovid highlights why this type of imagery is so deceptive and dangerous. The duality of these images, the way they simultaneously appear real and are unreal, creates a conflict that the mind cannot resolve.
