Be conscious ! Be conscious ! Be conscious ! Godse is in high spirits. Daft is in genial spirits. Uncle Same is in animal spirits.”6 ( My Songs, 2008:1)
This stanza of the poem ‘Foe’ that consists three phrasal words-- snake in the grass, father-figure and clean slate-- enriches the intensity of the phrasal fragrance in Indian English poetry.

I am a father- figure.
You have a life of egregious.
I have a clean slate.”7

Mahashweta Chaturvedi comments in her scholarly paper entitled ‘Phrasal Flavour of A.K.Choudhary’:
“The application of the four phrasal words in this rhymed quatrain spreads phrasal fragrance far and wide.‘Universal Voices’, a collection of 48 rhymed Indianised version of sonnets focused primarily on the literary perspectives of Indian English writers, deals effectively with the application of a number of phrasal words from alpha and omega that is the clear illustration of his poetic maturity on one hand and the mastery over the phrasal words on the other.Here lies a rhymed couplet that contains two phrasal words – wild goose chase and bird of passage wreathed very beautifully.
Wealth is a wild goose

Wealth is a blessing and a destructive object. Nick Carraway is privileged to a certain extent yet he is self aware of it. ``In my younger and more vulnerable
The overall effect of wealth on mankind is disastrous to one’s mental health. As a result, wealthy people seclude themselves from the rest of society, and they are locked into an insane obsession of making
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. Containing three quatrains and a rhyming couplet at the end, this poem displays a perfect English sonnet using iambic pentameter to make it sound serious and conversational. This is significant because most sonnets are about love and each quatrain, in English sonnets, further the speaker’s
Wealth, no matter how important an appearance it has, cannot fulfill a life and make a demeaning impact on lives until their
The wealthier one gets, it seems, the more one rationalizes their decisions and actions. The more one stains their morality little by little until they no longer need to choose what’s right and wrong but what benefits them. Whether it’s right or wrong is then irrelevant. From people to companies, wealth is the source of
He employs several literary devices in this poem which include: simile, hyperbole, satire, imagery and metaphors to create a lasting mental image of his mistress for the readers. The language used in this sonnet is clever and outside of the norm and might require the reader to take a second look. The first 3 Stanzas are used to distinguish his beloved from all the
Besides the author and the reader, there is the ‘I’ of the lyrical hero or of the fictitious storyteller and the ‘you’ or ‘thou’ of the alleged addressee of dramatic monologues, supplications and epistles. Empson said that: „The machinations of ambiguity are among the very roots of poetry”(Surdulescu, Stefanescu, 30). The ambiguous intellectual attitude deconstructs both the heroic commitement to a cause in tragedy and the didactic confinement to a class in comedy; its unstable allegiance permits Keats’s exemplary poet (the „camelion poet”, more of an ideal projection than a description of Keats actual practice) to derive equal delight conceiving a lago or an Imogen. This perplexing situation is achieved through a histrionic strategy of „showing how”, rather than „telling about it” (Stefanescu, 173 ).
People all have their own individual idea on wealth. To an extent, society paints a picture for everyone to work in order for them to gain wealth as a means to live a more comfortable lifestyle. While most people want material luxury, being wealthy goes much deeper than that for many people, as they have different motives as to why they want to be wealthy, whether they want to be seen as successful or are seeking out their identity. This idea is brought up in Lorraine Hansberry’s story A Raisin in the Sun, which later had a film adaptation released in 1961. The story revolved around an African American family living together in an apartment in Chicago with different attitudes towards money.
In these short poems, the authors utilize particular rhetorical techniques and methods to reflect the speakers’ personality and motivation. Therefore, presenting the speaker becomes the main focus of the authors. In Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 and Robert Browning’s “My Last Duchess,” both poems reflect the speakers’ traits through monologue, figurative language, and symbolism. However, these two speakers’ personalities are different due to their attitude toward their beloved. The speaker in Sonnet 18 is gentle and delighted but frustrated because the ideal metaphor comparison of summer is not perfect for describing his beloved; the poem thus suggests that the way you love others reflects how you feel about yourself.
Poetic meters in combination with repeated ideas, words, and rhymes are all used in Marvell 's poem, The Mower Against Gardens. The poem explores humanities ungratefulness and abuse to nature with the use of sexual imagery. The poem resonates with the audience because it flows smoothly and is easy to read. The use of repetition is pronounced in the poem and the integrated tail rhymes enhance and join together associated couplets. The rhythmical nature of the poem alongside the "Da-Duh" poetic meters are key to Marvell 's writing.
William Shakespeare’s sonnets are closely related in the idea that the theme as well as the subject of the poem remain consistent. A distinctive factor among Shakespeare’s sonnets however, is that they each contain somewhat varying tones. Two specific sonnets that prove this are “Sonnet 71” and “Sonnet 73” respectively. Both sonnets refer to the same subject, what is seemingly the speaker of the poem’s lover or mistress. The theme of death and dying are ones which remain present throughout each text.
In this paper I am going to compare and contrast both poetic pieces proving that there are actually a number of differences on their semantic and syntactic planes which account for the overall perception of the central image of love. Outlining similarities, it should be pointed out that both the poem and the song are written as a love confession. Yet, while Borges’ text impresses the reader with its uniqueness, Clapton’s piece is definitely an example of a typical pop love song with a catchy melody and rhythm. In my opinion, this discrepancy is chiefly reinforced by the structure of the texts as a whole.
