... his intent and prosody are adopted to convey his questions and heart felt acceptance of his blindness. Milton uses figurative language to express his grievances and discontent. He reflects upon his life and “how my light is spent,” or the time he had his sight. Milton then expresses the feeling of the “dark world and wide” of the blind as his introduction to his questions.

A Valediction Of Forbidding Mourning: The Truth About Mourning

... through something spoken or written. The other is called the vehicle. This word means conveying something through which something is expressed or implied. An example of this is found in the title of this poem in which Don uses the word "Mourning."

The Tyger By William Blake

... this to show a contrast in the ways which words can be interpreted. As the above quote suggests, a simple mind can perceive something in a different way than a seasoned one. When comparing his picture with his words in “Tyger,” one comes to different conclusions regarding the actual meaning. In contrast to the images of the innocence of the Lamb (from The Lamb of Songs of Innocence), Blake’s Tyger seems to be quite “devilish.” The beast is a representation of the angry God, as it is a combination of mystery, terror, and of wrat ...

The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock: The Pitiful Prufrock

... of the "etherised" evening indicates an altering of perception, and an altering of time, which creates a dreamlike quality throughout the poem. This dreamlike quality is supported throughout the poem with the "yellow fog" that contributes to the slowed-down-etherised feeling of the poem. Time and perception are effectively "etherised" in this poem. It is almost as if the poem is a suspended moment of realization of one man's life, "spread out against the sky". The imagery of the patient represents Prufrock's self-examination ...

... if a child could think that someone who killed his father was kind. Or he contrasts "virtue" with "slaughter" ("Point for them the virtue of slaughter") and "excellence" with "killing." ("Make plain to them the excellence of killing"). War may be honorable, purposeful, or necessary, but it is not kind, there is no virtue in slaughter, and there is no excellence in killing. Whitman notes in "Beat! Drums! Beat!" that when war comes, everything stops, including the sense and reason of the moment. No matter what is happening, there is no ...

... to those who read it. The tone of "" is one of lamentation, a sorrow that a statue proclaiming as the greatest king the world has ever known is now reduced to rubble; and not just the physical aspect but the glory of the king is also long forgotten. In Shelley's "",there are two speakers; the first speaker introduced the poem for the first line and then the second speaker carries the poem to realization.
