George Gascoigne For That He Looked Not Upon Her

In A Ritual to Read to Each Other, William Stafford speaks about a different kind of love than in Shakespeare’s sonnet. The love Stafford describes isn’t romantic, rather it is built on the fragile communication we have with the people around us. Stafford emphasizes the love of humanity, and begins his poem by pointing out how desperately bereft we are of this kind of empathy today. In the second stanza Stafford talks about the emptiness that exists between us. According to the poem we’ve become

Lastly, deliberating use of diction and syntax assist notable and evoking broken relationship. The fact that they sit in a "narrow" restaurant suggests that with their bland, stable demeanor, perhaps they are narrow-minded. With the couple 's strict regard for the appropriate behavior of a man and wife, as is evident later in the text; they certainly have narrow perceptions of proper marriage etiquette. The last paragraph, unearths the contrast between the wife 's child-like behaviors to her husband 's. The line "You looked at him and you saw this and you thought, 'Oh, now don 't be like that!" and the author 's italicization of the word "be" implies a certain amount of disgust for a husband who is trying to crush his wife 's jovial spirit. With a spit of contempt, Brush adds that "he was like that" (line fifteen), intensifying her anger and disapprobation of his meanness. The intended use of the pronoun ‘you.’ brought the reader even more intimate with the situation at hand, persuading the reader to keep reading to see what happens next. The general attention shift when the author now introduces “I” because this, again, brings the reader closer to the incident; by doing this, the reader is not only reading about it, but he is reading a personal account of it. She writes that she, “couldn’t bear to look at the woman,” after the husband cruelly said something to his wife because she accidentally embarrassed him, and this puts the reader in the author’s shoes of encountering a relationship that

Robert Arneson’s Portrait of George portrays George Moscone, a former mayor of San Francisco in the late 1970s. The portrait is actually a bust, that sits on a column covered with graffiti and phrases in reflection to Moscone’s life and may have been deemed unusual due to its overly casual appearance in bright colors and irreverent nature. This contrasts with Moscone’s professional career and reputation in politics and was not successful as political art as it was taken down for being seen as inappropriate and unrefined. Though Arneson’s intentions may have meant well, the controversy lied in the lack of nobility of the appearance of the bust. An honoring of a person in form of art is usually seen as more noble and serious in appearance as

Tone/Mood: “ ... I would use her notebooks to reclaim the past and overcome terrors of my own…” (Page 1) The first page really sets a dreadful tone for the entire book. Isabel Allende uses words like “terrors”, “defenseless”, “mourning”, “powerless”, “indecent”, and “disgust”. I feel as though the ending of the book will as somber as the beginning of it. Excerpt: “But it must have been easier for me than most people, because I’ve never been particularly sociable …” (Page 24) I can relate to this because it would be easy for me to live isolated just like Esteban. I'm not a very social person, I hate parties and all other social events. I, myself like Esteban, am happier when Im not in the presence of other people. Chapter Over time, the Trueba house ends up filled with complicated people, situations and even illegitimate grandchildren. Chapter 4 Quote: "I set my curse on you, Esteban!" Ferula shouted back. "You will always be alone! Your body and soul will shrivel up and you'll die like a dog!" (Page 147) After discovering Ferula in bed with Clara, Esteban throws his sister out of his house and tells her that he will kill her if she ever comes near his family again. Ferula goes while leaving this curse on her brother. Which, in a sense comes back to haunt him. Family: "They buried her in a special plot in the tiny graveyard alongside the abandoned church, at the foot of the volcano, because she had been the patron's wife, in a manner of speaking, since she had given him the only son who bore his name, though not his surname, and I believe Clara knows her daughter will be better off with Pedro Tercero Garcia.

In the poem, “For That He Looked Not upon Her,” the poet, George Gascoigne, communicates his fickle attitude towards his lover. With the use of standard Shakespearean sonnet form, exaggerated diction and vivid imagery he explains why the speaker is bound to avoid his ex-lovers eyes, since they can spell him to live a life with further deception and heartache.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (TGG) released in 1925, during the Jazz Age, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Sonnets From The Portuguese (STFP) published in 1850 during the Victorian Age are reflective of the authors context and era. They explore the changing nature of relationships through the exploration of superficial love and how mutual love and respect unite people. Both authors discuss the importance of honesty and respect in relationships for them to thrive.

It has been said that “beauty is pain” and in the case of this poem, it is quite literal. “For That He Looked Not Upon Her” written by George Gascoigne, a sixteenth century poet, is a poem in which the speaker cannot look upon the one he loves so that he will not be trapped by her enhanced beauty and looks. In the form of an English sonnet, the speaker uses miserable diction and visual imagery to tell the readers and his love why he cannot look upon her face.

Henry James in the funeral article of Lippincott’s Magazine from July 1877, issues a negative tone on describing the people attending, but is being positive about Mr. George Odger.

Shirley recounts historical facts based on Judge Isaac C. Parker and the insight on the real Old West way of life. In the book offers several references to George Maledon. It first reference briefly describes, “George Maledon starting out his career working as a Fort Smith police officer and Sebastian County deputy sheriff” (Shirley, 1957) before going to work for Judge Parker at the gallows. “Within eight days of first arriving to Fort Smith and beginning his career, Judge Parker had tried 18 murders, found 15 men guilty of their crimes and sentenced 8 of those men to death, one of which Maledon shot and killed when trying to escape” (Shirley, 1957). In the book Shirley writes “of an execution where the public spectators were religiously

Both “When We Two Parted” and “Neutral Tones” present the challenges faced by the breakdown of a relationship- whether it be due to another affair, or simply the loss of love. In spite of this similarity, the sole purpose of the two poets and their feelings toward the situation can be widely debated- with, as seen later, “When We Two Parted” displaying greater disdain for damage to the narrator’s ego than heartache at the departure of his lover.

The two poems I will be comparing and contrasting in this essay are two of William Shakespeare 's most popular sonnets. Sonnets in chapter 19, 'Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? ', and in chapter 23, 'Let me not to the marriage of true minds, ' of our Literature book. Both of these poems deal with the subject of love but each poem deals with its subject matter in a slightly different way. Each also has a different purpose and audience. In the case of 'Shall I compare thee ' the audience is meant to be the person Shakespeare is writing the sonnet about. Its purpose is to tell the audience about how the speaker feels about them. In the case of 'Let me not ' the audience is anyone who wishes to read it. Its purpose is to introduce what love should be like. This makes 'Shall I compare thee ' much more personal and realistic as a poem about love. 'Shall I compare thee ' seems to deal more with the idea of a lover rather than the idea of a relationship, as 'Let me not ' does. 'Shall I compare thee ' deals with the idea of a perfect lover and the fading beauty of both women and the seasons. 'Let me not ' is about ideal love in its most perfect and purest form.

The poem 's form, diction, imagery, and tone relay the speaker 's attitude toward the woman. The order of the stanzas and the word choice makes it apparent that the speaker loves the woman. The imagery and tone also helps readers to see the speaker 's attitude. All of these elements work together so the reader can see the speaker 's

The “cloud”—amorphous and obstructing—cuts into the scene, as well as the poem, with a sudden violence, in order to block the image of “Love’s moon”. The cloud itself cannot have definite dimensions, as it exists to only hide the moon, casting the speaker of the poem, his love and the cloud itself in a continuous darkness. It is in this darkness that the speaker of the poem finds his own perception and experiences clouded, indicating his blind submission to erotic love in lieu of a more illuminating, comprehensive “Love”.

by William Shakespeare is nothing like the average romantic poem. Instead of boasting about his mistress’s beauty and making unrealistic comparisons he Comically appreciates her natural beauty and appearance, without the use of flattering clichés. Some Argue that Shakespeare might have been misogynistic and insulting to women by body shaming is mistress. Is it thus apparent that people may have different interpretations and understanding of sonnets or poems regardless of the environment or period of the reading? Though I believe that this is truly a love poem, in this analysis both interpretations will be represented.

Shakespeare believes that the time is a very destructive force. It is so powerful that it can decay and destroy every mortal things of the world. Nothing is out from the clutch of time and its shadow.
