A Declaration Of Undying Love
A Declaration of Undying Love Poetry is oftentimes associated with the subjects of love and
romance. Poets throughout the ages have used this medium to express their deepest emotions in the
most eloquent of ways. Whether the poet is a man or woman is irrelevant. Poets of both genders
have succeeded in expressing a heartfelt love to another with a poetic language that speaks volumes
in a relatively short amount of text. Two poets from two separate eras each wrote a poem with just
such a theme. Anne Bradstreet in "To My Dear and Loving Husband" and Edgar Allan Poe in
"Annabel Lee" created magic by writing these poems that express a love for another that transcends
time and place. In order to understand the depth behind both poets' ... Show more content on

Jeannine Johnson concurs, confirming, "The poet argues that wisdom and age do not determine one
's power to love deeply and honestly. Even though Annabel and her lover were young, the speaker
contends that their feelings surpassed those of all others" (1). In matters of love, age is an
insignificant factor for those who cannot see past the passion in each other's eyes. While Poe's poem
is a lengthy venture into love and loss, Bradstreet's poem is quite a short offering at first glance. The
poet, however, immediately grasps the reader's attention with the very first line in the poem, writing,
"If ever two were one, then surely we" (1). Immediately, the reader can envision a union that is not
made up of two separate individuals, but of the two that become one because of the love they share.
Poe, on the other hand, uses another tactic in piquing the interest of the reader. He begins his poem
in a manner that is very reminiscent of a fairy tale: "It was many and many a year ago / In a
kingdom by the sea" (1–2). It is not until the last two lines of the first stanza that the narrator
declares a love, very much like the one Bradstreet described, by stating, "And this maiden she lived
with no other thought / Than to love and be loved by me" (5–6). The reader can already sense the
profound love that envelops the men and women in the poems. Bradstreet continues her poem in
describing the woman's love for her

Character Analysis: The Book Thief By Markus Zusak
"He does something to me, that boy. Every time. It's his only detriment. He steps on my heart. He
makes me cry," (Zusak 531). The above statement was delivered by Death. In The Book Thief by
Markus Zusak, Death is the narrator. Rudy Steiner is the human that the quote refers to. The
protagonist of this novel is Liesel Meminger, and Rudy is her best friend. The novel is about Liesel's
years living in Molching, Germany during World War Two. Millions of people died during World
War Two. Since it is Death's job to carry away all the souls, he was a busy man at this time. Death
usually does not pay attention to living humans. He makes immense efforts to distract himself from
them. The question is: what makes Rudy so special that he provokes such emotion from Death?
Death is haunted by Rudy because of his incredible acts of friendship towards Liesel and
compassion towards those who were supposed to be his enemies.
Rudy proves himself over and over again to Liesel. His inability to quit is part of his undying spirit.

Poe and His Poetic Tragedies
Losing a loved one is never easy. The way each individual deals with grief and coping with the loss
of a loved one may be different from those who share a similar tragedy. In the case of Edgar Allan
Poe, he was always faced with death, especially that of a young beloved. In most of his work, death
is a common theme. Poe captures this theme in his poems, "Annabel Lee" and "The Raven". In these
poems, he uses imagery to set the tone and to convey the theme of death, and express the
psychological impact on the speakers from their loss. Similarly, both speakers in the poems
experience the loss of a loved one and they differ in the way they cope with the loss and their
acceptance of their beloved's deaths.
Poe's "Annabel Lee," is about a man who lost his wife and reminisces about his beloved. The
speaker depicts the setting as a kingdom by the sea and this is also known as the refrain. The
imagery and tone are seen when he describes his love for his wife. The speaker constantly justifies
their love as a being a strong force establishing the tone throughout the poem. For example, in
stanza four of the poem the speaker says, "The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, / went envying
her and me–," (lines 21–22). Poe takes advantage of the hyperbole in this stanza to emphasize his
undying love for Annabel Lee. The tone in this stanza, as well in the poem, is uplifting and
passionate, casting the

The hunter helps her out of a ditch that she has fallen in, however irony is used since he puts a gun

old black woman trying to go see Santa Clause for presents. She finds a nickel in her pocket, "God
watching me the whole time. I come to stealing," she knows that she must keep going with god's
help. However, she does not let this get her down since religion played a big role in her life and she
has encountered much worse. Next, the author tells how Phoenix is feeling, "Seem like there is
chains about my feet, time I get this far", this symbolizes chains are like a struggle for her. (Cited in

Romeo And Juliet True Love Analysis
I believe that true love is when two people are almost near obsessed with each other but one does
not like the other more. True loves is the perfect balance of trusting the other person, willing to
sacrifice whatever is needed to be with that person and being loyal to that one and only person. In
the play Romeo and Juliet it is made clear they trust each other when Juliet is isolated by her entire
family and still trusts in the fact that romeo loves her and that they will be together. It is shown to us
that they are will to sacrifice almost anything for eachother when they pay the ultimate price for
loving each other which is death. When juliet's mom and dad try to force her to marry paris she
refuses and proclaims her loves for him showing that he is her one and only love. One of the most
important aspects of truly loving another person is to have undying trust in the other person and who

When two people are really in love they should be wanting and willing to do anything it takes to be

willing to die to see his other true love. If he was caught in her house he would most certainly be
killed by one of the guards but he wanted to see her so bad that he risked it. The last thing I wall go

Beowulf: The Epitome Of An Anglo-Saxon Warrior
The epic poem Beowulf expresses many Anglo–Saxon ideas. The Anglo–Saxons were warrior–
farmers who loved fighting. Warriors were celebrated and valued in the Anglo–Saxon times.
Beowulf, the main character of the poem, is an example of the archetypal "hero as warrior," which
defines an Anglo–Saxon warrior. The Anglo–Saxons were always prepared for war and willing to
fight for the sake of the people, just like Beowulf. Nearly god–like, Beowulf undergoes many
physical and mental challenges in order to help others and showcase his heroic ways. Because
Beowulf is a celebrated hero, has supernatural strength, and undying loyalty, he is the epitome of an
Anglo–Saxon warrior. To begin, Beowulf's fame relates him to an Anglo–Saxon hero. Beowulf is
well known because of his many feats, but remains humble. The great Anglo–Saxon warriors were
also well known, and humility was an important aspect of being a celebrated warrior. Hrothgar, the
leader of the Danes, had previously heard of Beowulf's fame and heroic feats. Unferth had also
heard of Beowulf's fame, specifically Beowulf's battle at sea. This anecdote "are you– the same

showcases an important quality of a celebrated Anglo–Saxon warrior. Without Beowulf's selfless

Comparing Cinder And Fahrenheit 451
The novels Cinder by Marissa Meyer and Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury, are both books
that fit into the dystopian genre. Although they are both dystopian novels, the themes expressed
throughout both these books are entirely different. The themes that I will be contrasting from each
book are, Conformity v.s Individuality, from Fahrenheit 451 and from the novel Cinder. " Don't be
afraid of who you are." The next set of themes are, Alienation and loneliness, from Bradbury's novel
and from Meyer's novel, " Cyborg, Earthling, Lunar– You are human." Finally from Cinder is a
minor theme, " The undying hunger for power" and lastly, the importance of remembering and
understanding history from Ray Bradbury's book. A theme from the novel Cinder, "Don't be afraid
of who you are" has many differences from Fahrenheit 451's theme of conformity v.s individuality.
The theme "Don't be afraid of who you are" is a major theme that is consistently visited by the main
character Cinder. When Cinder first found out she was Princess Selene, it took her awhile before she
finally accepted that she was the lost princess. But, it took a lot of her comrades to believe in her
before she took her role in starting the revolution on Luna. The theme that is being contrasted to
Cinder's theme is conformity v.s individuality.This theme is expressed throughout the whole novel,
which makes it a major theme as well. In the book, Montag meets a seventeen year old girl named
Clarisse. Clarisse is considered odd in this society because she'd rather talk to people than watch
T.V, this is an example of individuality. A example of conformity is Montag's wife, Mildred, Mildred
is rather content in watching T.V all day and do what people tell her to do. These two themes are
different because Marissa Meyer's theme of " Don't be afraid of who you are", is about accepting
yourself and your role in life, whereas Bradbury touches on two ways people function in a
controlling society. The second pair of themes being contrasted is alienation and loneliness from
Fahrenheit 451 and "Cyborg, Earthling, Lunar– you are human" from Marissa Meyer's novel. Both
these themes are considered minor in their respective novels. The theme from Cinder is touched

I believe this quote was an exaggeration that adds additional sting to the stark contrast Walpole
makes against Manfred. This quote was likely exaggerated commentary as Isabella seemed to be on
Theodore's radar throughout the novel. Even as we discussed in class, it would be strange if
Theodore never harbored passion for Isabella. Nonetheless, the quote effectively contrasts the
abusive manner in which Manfred treats Hippolita and the way Theodore treats Matilda. In fact,
Manfred's male gothic traits are so flagrant that Walpole even incorporates supernatural elements
into the description to highlight the absurdity of his actions – "'It is done,' replied Manfred;
"Frederic accepts Matilda's hand, and is content to waive his claim, unless I have no male issue" – as
he spoke those words three drops of blood fell from the nose of Alfonso's statue. Manfred turned
pale, and the Princess sank on her knees." (pg 72). These sort of flamboyant comparisons are
numerous throughout the novel. Another good example of this is on page 70. Rather than holding
grudges, Theodore actually holds the polar opposite of grudges. "'Nor have I forgotten, sir,' said

came down between the embassies of Priam and Agamemnon's, it would be a decision which
Achilles makes ultimately for his own reasoning and benefit. It would be Priam, who would be able
to sway the great Achilles in the return of his son's body, while Agamemnon's would ultimate fail. It

and those in his militia as family. He values his death with them as more important than staying
close with his family and helping them survive. Looking at it from afar, you can distinctly see that

Comparing Death And Rebirth
Within some forms of SD, there is the belief that regard Atman and Brahman as one, which is better

(the final release from the cycle of death and rebirth) and at last reunite itself with Brahman as a
single entity, Atman must first rid itself of its karma. Karma can be compared to that of a checklist
when putting it in simpler terms. Because Atman is stuck within samsara [cycle of death and rebirth

Many African religions consider the High God [supreme deity (64, 2)] to be "transcendent and
removed from the lives of humans" (64, 3) and that their daily lives are influenced or controlled by

Brahman (which the soul cannot reunite with until it has achieved moksha) and that the daily, as
well as future, lives of Hindus is determined by one's karma (cn, 9/14). I found these commonalities
to be quite similar, yet at the same time vastly different because, within African religions, the High
God could differ among separate groups of people [such as with the Dogon, who view Amma as
their High God (64, 3) and the Samburu people of Kenya who believe in Nkai (64, 4)]. In SD, the
ultimate entity is undoubtedly Brahman, for it is when Atman achieves moksha that it finally
realizes its "true self" and is freed from the Saha world (cn, 9/12). If there was one idea that can be

Is Heathcliff A Hero Or A Villain
Can you love someone so much that it drives you mad? In Emily Bronte's gothic romance novel,
Wuthering Heights, she presents a character, Heathcliff, who is driven with so much passion for his
one true love, Catherine, that he resorts to acts of violence to defend his love for her. Heathcliff is an
antihero and his character has many complexities due to his undying love for Catherine. Although
Heathcliff's character is complex, most of his violence originates within him simply because he
suffers from a deep passionate love for the one and only Catherine.
In the beginning, the narrator says Heathcliff's quietness is not because of his gentleness but rather
his hardness. Accordingly, this foreshadows that Heathcliff's character will be very prominent in the
story because the reader can interpret this quietness that is due to hardness may be a probable
conflict later in the story. Heathcliff's defensiveness is a consequence of his love for Catherine. She
later marries another man and she sees no problem with it because she believes that if they truly are

Upon Catherine's return to Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff informs to her that he put a cage around a
nest of baby birds that prevented the mother bird from feeding them which resulted in their
starvation. She then says that he should not have done it and assures him that she would always
come back to him. Moreover, Heathcliff's violence is not the only encompassing trait in his
character because he also possesses a sympathetic quality that he only shows toward Catherine. As
Catherine lies dying, Heathcliff has eyes for her only and his love for her is displayed as he
passionately kisses her one last time before she dies. Nevertheless, Heathcliff's violence due to love
and passion makes his character very complex, therefore, it is hard to distinguish when he is acting

Essay On Night Elie Wiesel
If you ask anybody, they will know about the Holocaust, but if you ask how the prisoners felt, some
wouldn't know how to answer. Some felt an undying love for their family, others an undying hate for
the Nazi regime, and many had their view of life completely changed. The latter was what had
happened to Eliezer Wiesel, also known as Elie. During his memoir known as Night Elie's tone
continuously darkened throughout the book. At the beginning of the book, the only thing that Elie
cared about was staying with his family. For example, during section 1, Elie wanted to stay with his
family and didn't want anyone to leave the ghetto. Also during section 3 on page 29, Elie was
talking about the SS soldiers who were splitting families and sending women to one side and men to
the other. "Tzipora was holding mother's hand. I saw them walking farther and farther away; Mother
was stroking my sister's blond hair, as if to protect her" (Wiesel 29). Here Elie talked about how he
watched as his mother and sister were taken away, and later on he says how he would never see the
two of them again. After they found themselves in Buna, all that Eliezer cared about was his rations
of bread and soup. During multiple sections, Elie complained about the soup and how it tasted

Similarities Between Cyrano De Bergerac And Sonnet 18
"Love shows itself in many forms" –Unknown
This is a careful analysis of Edmond Rostand's play Cyrano de Bergerac and William Shakespeare's
poem Sonnet 18. They both can be compared in theme and use of romanticism. Even if Cyrano was
written two centuries and eighty–nine years after Sonnet 18 they are still stunningly alike. Both of
the authors show how love shows itself even if it is not direct. The first comparative aspect of the
poem and play is theme. In Cyrano, the theme is how love can be in many different forms. This can
be proven when in Act III "Roxanne's Kiss" to the end of act IV "The Cadets of Gascone" where
Cyrano, hidden by shadow pretends to be Christian and talks his feelings to her. This is also in act
IV where he writes Christan's letters home to Roxanne which also was just Cyrano talking from his
own heart. Whereas in Sonnet 18 the theme is "Love is direct and from the heart". In stanza one
Shakespeare talks directly about how much he loves her and says she's more beautiful for summer
itself. I can tell this from when Shakespeare says "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art
more lovely and more temperate." The author shows how much she is to him by comparing her to be

How Does Orwell Present Winston's Power In 1984
George Orwell's 1984 presents Winston Smith, a figure estranged from society due to his resistance
against the stifling of his individuality and his intellectual ability to reason about his resistance.
Through the eyes of Smith, the reader is able to experience the nightmarish reality of a totalitarian
rule by the Party, Big Brother, and the Thought Police.
Orwell presents Winston as a lone creature unlike his fellow citizens due to his individuality and
undying self–determination. While those around him blindly follow everything the Party orders and
are brainwashed into having an irrational love for Big Brother, Winston hates the Party passionately
and wants to test the limits of its power by committing countless crimes throughout the novel. Not
one to foolishly believe anything said to him, Winston is extremely speculative and inquisitive,
desperate to understand how and why the Party is able to exercise such absolute power in Oceania.
The struggle Winston puts into attaining freedom and individuality undermines the Party's

The Malleable Yet Undying Nature of the Yellow Peril
Racial stereotypes don't die; they don't even fade away. Though Asian Americans today have
"achieved" model minority status in the eyes of the white majority in America by "pulling ourselves
up by our bootstraps" through our supposedly quiet, dignified demeanor and gritty, "overachieving"
work ethic, the terms of the racial discrimination we face remain the same today as they have since
the first Asians began settling en masse in the United States more than a century and a half ago. At
the root of this discrimination is the idea of a "Yellow Peril," which, in the words of John Dower is

According to John Dower, "the vision of the menace from the East was always more racial rather
than national. It derived not from concern with any one country or people in particular, but from a
vague and ominous sense of the vast, faceless, nameless yellow horde: the rising tide, indeed, of
color." This feeling of impending doom from the East led to the 1917 Immigration Restriction Act
and the National Origins Act of 1924–two acts that prevented nearly all Asian immigrants from
legally entering the United States and prohibited immigrants already in the United States from
attaining citizenship.
The height of a fear of the Yellow Peril happened immediately after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor
on December 7th, 1941, leading the United States to enter into the Pacific War. Popular imagery of

Comparing Lord Byron's And Thou Art Dead, As Young And Fair
The poem "And Thou art Dead, as Young and Fair" by Lord Byron is an incredible poem about
undying love. This poem is a great example of romantic poetry due to its melancholic nature.The
narrator of this poem has lost someone they deeply cared for, but despite her death his love for her
remains strong and unwavered. The narrator goes on to talk about her beauty and how it was lost to
the world. He also talks about the pain and suffering he has endured because of her death. In the
poem the narrator talks of an undying love for someone who has passed away. The quotation, "I will
not ask where thou liest low, / Nor gaze upon the spot; / There flowers or weeds at will may grow, /
So I behold them not: / It is enough for me to prove / That what I lov'd, and long must love, " (Byron
10–15) shows how the narrator states that he does not need to see where his beloved is buried to
know he still loves her. This continues the poem's central theme of eternal love. The narrator

St. Clare's Role In Assisi
Clare was a very influential saint towards both men and woman in her time and today. "There were
those who saw her light and marveled at it, admired her and rejoiced. But only those who caught her
fire could begin to understand" (71). I think that she was very influential because she broke the role
she played in her family for faith and a spiritual life, which may be seen as a small movement
towards woman's rights, even though they were still heavily restricted on what women could do and
where they can go. By leaving her class behind to enter into a new spiritual world and weaving
linens for poor churches around Assisi, I believe St. Clare clearly expresses her compassion for
others, the church, and love for Lady Poverty.
Clare ignored her family role of being married off which "she sidestepped the prospect of marriage
skillfully and repeatedly" (26). By going against the customs of that time, I believe that she started a
small woman's movement; where she influenced alike women of a higher class into following God
and denying their conventional role of a woman at that time. ... Show more content on

Clare became ill, "She would have herself propped up with pillows; then she would spin and weave

permitted to travel as much as the Brothers were able to do, Clare had to find other ways to share
her faith through actions as well as words. Relating back how Clare would weave and construct
beautiful things for poor churches, my grandmother and I knit and crochet offerings to those in need

He is so upset by the loss of Lenore that it leads him to the edge of insanity. The speaker then is seen
throughout the poem supposedly struggling with the raven because the raven responds with
"Nevermore" which gets the speaker angry as he is struggling within himself. The speaker seems to
be trying to achieve "surcease of sorrow for the lost Lenore" by burying himself in books and trying
to forget about her. But the Raven seems to be a messenger from the spirit world who has been sent
to the speaker's chamber door to keep reminding him of his loss. Instead of trying to forget about
Lenore, he is forced to think about her more emotionally than he had been thinking before.
Therefore , Symbolism is used in the poem to symbolize the raven. As the raven is tapping at the
speaker's chamber door and the raven has entered, it then holds power over the speaker. The raven's

Although our memory lives through the persons we had once built a relationship with, their own
bodies are bounded by mortality as well. Truly, to achieve immortality we must accept the limitation
of our minds, and seek perpetual life through production. The Epic of Gilgamesh reflects the
concept that our greatest constructions shepherd us into immortality. Via his creations, Gilgamesh
transcends mortality. Blurring the lines of literature and non–fiction, the epic writes as a pseudo
auto–biography of Gilgamesh's and Enkidu's adventures. After discovering the secret of the Deluge,
Gilgamesh "set all his labours on a tablet of stone" (George 1). In composing his own story,
Gilgamesh procures a legendary status as the 'author' of the earliest known great works of literature.
The great walls of Uruk, crafted by Gilgamesh himself, constitute one of his greatest achievements.
Uruk's walls sandwich the epic poem, as the story begins and ends with a detailed description of

When the Sherlock Holmes books were written, London was rife with croime. The slums,

The three stories I have studied, although they have common features, are set in very different

living conditions. This supports the idea of money as a motif, because the house is falling apart, and
Dr Roylett has not been able to do it up.

atmosphere. The crime was committed in a hollow out on the moor. When Holmes and Watson are

Throughout O'Connor's A Good Man is Hard to Find, there is a recurring theme reflected in the
characters' morals and ultimate demise: those who unquestionably and naively trust others, even for
the sake of being a "good" person, often suffer.
The consequences of naivete and undying faith in others is demonstrated through the characters'
values and their downfall, especially that of the grandmother. The grandmother repeatedly claims to
have high standards and morals, though her definition of a "good" person is always fluctuating and
inconsistent. When Red Sammy Butts complains about untrustworthy people and mentions a time he
allows two young men to purchase gas on credit, the grandmother responds by claiming, "Because
you're a good man!" (O'Connor 332). The grandmother praises Red Sam's naivety and believes that
he was deceived because of his good nature and willingness to help. Apparently, she perceives a
"good" person as one who is amiable to the point of being gullible and credulous. Later on, she lies
to the children about a secret panel at the plantation so that they unrelentingly irritate Bailey until he
agrees to drive there (333–334).

Gandalf if fighting for. Gandalf is an angelic being who used to live in the Undying Lands of Valinor
where the elves called him Olodrin. When Gandalf first came to Middle–Earth he was part of a
group of five Istari but only three stayed to help Middle–Earth. When Gandalf befriended the lord of
the elves, Cirdan, he was bestowed with the Elven Ring of Fire, one of the 20 rings of power, that
was called Narya. There are other people with rings of power, including Gandalf, but in the fight
against Sauron the ring's powers can't be used to directly attack Sauron. With the powers of Narya,
the Elven Ring of Fire, Gandalf has enhanced powers of

A Declaration Of Undying Love

  • 1. A Declaration Of Undying Love A Declaration of Undying Love Poetry is oftentimes associated with the subjects of love and romance. Poets throughout the ages have used this medium to express their deepest emotions in the most eloquent of ways. Whether the poet is a man or woman is irrelevant. Poets of both genders have succeeded in expressing a heartfelt love to another with a poetic language that speaks volumes in a relatively short amount of text. Two poets from two separate eras each wrote a poem with just such a theme. Anne Bradstreet in "To My Dear and Loving Husband" and Edgar Allan Poe in "Annabel Lee" created magic by writing these poems that express a love for another that transcends time and place. In order to understand the depth behind both poets' ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Jeannine Johnson concurs, confirming, "The poet argues that wisdom and age do not determine one 's power to love deeply and honestly. Even though Annabel and her lover were young, the speaker contends that their feelings surpassed those of all others" (1). In matters of love, age is an insignificant factor for those who cannot see past the passion in each other's eyes. While Poe's poem is a lengthy venture into love and loss, Bradstreet's poem is quite a short offering at first glance. The poet, however, immediately grasps the reader's attention with the very first line in the poem, writing, "If ever two were one, then surely we" (1). Immediately, the reader can envision a union that is not made up of two separate individuals, but of the two that become one because of the love they share. Poe, on the other hand, uses another tactic in piquing the interest of the reader. He begins his poem in a manner that is very reminiscent of a fairy tale: "It was many and many a year ago / In a kingdom by the sea" (1–2). It is not until the last two lines of the first stanza that the narrator declares a love, very much like the one Bradstreet described, by stating, "And this maiden she lived with no other thought / Than to love and be loved by me" (5–6). The reader can already sense the profound love that envelops the men and women in the poems. Bradstreet continues her poem in describing the woman's love for her ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The above statement was delivered by Death. In The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, Death is the narrator. Rudy Steiner is the human that the quote refers to. The protagonist of this novel is Liesel Meminger, and Rudy is her best friend. The novel is about Liesel's years living in Molching, Germany during World War Two. Millions of people died during World War Two. Since it is Death's job to carry away all the souls, he was a busy man at this time. Death usually does not pay attention to living humans. He makes immense efforts to distract himself from them. The question is: what makes Rudy so special that he provokes such emotion from Death? Death is haunted by Rudy because of his incredible acts of friendship towards Liesel and compassion towards those who were supposed to be his enemies. Rudy proves himself over and over again to Liesel. His inability to quit is part of his undying spirit. The dedication to Liesel is what makes him unique and also ...

Death's quote drives home the essence of humans because although people have flaws, they can still do stupendous acts of kindness that baffle onlookers. One such human is Rudy. He dove into icy waters for a shot to get a kiss from his favorite Saumensch. He made sure she was okay when she was injured or sick. He fed hungry 'enemies' even though his own belly rumbled.

  • 9. Poe And The Poetic Tragedy Of Edgar Allan Poe's Poetic... Jailene La Santa Professor Neuer ENG2012 30 October 2017 Poe and His Poetic Tragedies Losing a loved one is never easy. The way each individual deals with grief and coping with the loss of a loved one may be different from those who share a similar tragedy. In the case of Edgar Allan Poe, he was always faced with death, especially that of a young beloved. In most of his work, death is a common theme. Poe captures this theme in his poems, "Annabel Lee" and "The Raven". In these poems, he uses imagery to set the tone and to convey the theme of death, and express the psychological impact on the speakers from their loss. Similarly, both speakers in the poems experience the loss of a loved one and they differ in the way they cope with the loss and their acceptance of their beloved's deaths. Poe's "Annabel Lee," is about a man who lost his wife and reminisces about his beloved. The speaker depicts the setting as a kingdom by the sea and this is also known as the refrain. The imagery and tone are seen when he describes his love for his wife. The speaker constantly justifies their love as a being a strong force establishing the tone throughout the poem. For example, in stanza four of the poem the speaker says, "The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, / went envying her and me–," (lines 21–22). Poe takes advantage of the hyperbole in this stanza to emphasize his undying love for Annabel Lee. The tone in this stanza, as well in the poem, is uplifting and passionate, casting the ...

The main character in this story is called Phoenix; she is an old woman that is narrated from the author trying to make a long journey down a worn path to bring her sick grandson medicine. She will not let anything get in her way from completing her mission and will not give up even though she is not a young puppy anymore.

The hunter helps her out of a ditch that she has fallen in, however irony is used since he puts a gun in her face that also resembles racism. She compares her bones to weeds springy enough not to have been broken by the fall into the ditch. The hunter speaks down to her since he thinks she is a crazy old black woman trying to go see Santa Clause for presents. She finds a nickel in her pocket, "God watching me the whole time. I come to stealing," she knows that she must keep going with god's help. However, she does not let this get her down since religion played a big role in her life and she has encountered much worse. Next, the author tells how Phoenix is feeling, "Seem like there is chains about my feet, time I get this far", this symbolizes chains are like a struggle for her. (Cited in Clugston, 2010, "A Worn Path" para. 10) She is faced with buzzards that symbolize death for her and oak trees that symbolize strength and wisdom since she was strong with life still. "She passed through the old cotton and went into a field of dead corn", this showed how devoted her love was to pass through death defying places. (Cited in Clugston, 2010) Also, when she drank water, "In a ravine she went where a spring was silently flowing through a hollow log.

Hinduism distinguishes this mystical essence as the celestial part of a living being, the atman, which is everlasting and pursues to be amalgamated with the Universal Ambiance, or the Brahman.

True loves is the perfect balance of trusting the other person, willing to sacrifice whatever is needed to be with that person and being loyal to that one and only person. In the play Romeo and Juliet it is made clear they trust each other when Juliet is isolated by her entire family and still trusts in the fact that romeo loves her and that they will be together. It is shown to us that they are will to sacrifice almost anything for eachother when they pay the ultimate price for loving each other which is death. When juliet's mom and dad try to force her to marry paris she refuses and proclaims her loves for him showing that he is her one and only love. One of the most important aspects of truly loving another person is to have undying trust in the other person and who they are as a human being. Both Romeo and Juliet ...

When two people are really in love they should be wanting and willing to do anything it takes to be together and if two lovers are presented with the same situation Romeo and Juliet where that they might have to take drastic measures. This is proven when Romeo climbs the Capulets walls, How cam'st thou hither, tell me, and wherefore? The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, And the place death, considering who thou art, If any of my kinsmen find thee here. (2.2.66–69) Romeo was willing to die to see his other true love. If he was caught in her house he would most certainly be killed by one of the guards but he wanted to see her so bad that he risked it. The last thing I wall go over is also the backbone of any relationship which is being loyal to that one person and loving them.

The focus of the poem is to address the personal message addressing the question of the depth importance and nature of love. The first six lines of the sonnet are a negative meaning for what love is not and what it cannot do. The Sixth line of the poem is a clipped irony bringing the reader to the harsh reality that one without love is soon to possibly live on while making friends with death. In the next six lines Edna Millay talks about how easily she would sell love for earthly things like power, peace, and food. The last line in the poem however ends on a surprising note Edna writes "It well may be. I do not think ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

If ever man were loved by wife then thee;" Anne uses this to show her undying infatuation with her husband which is against her religion to show such feelings for someone. Anne Bradstreet also uses Religious imagery in her poems in the last line of the poem though she shows an eerie point of view which is considered a sign of mortality Anne states "Then while we live, in love let's so persevere, that when we live no more we may live ever.

After the war, Gatsby's only goal was to posses enough wealth to bring Daisy back. He acquired millions of dollars from businesses he did. "Gatsby bough this house so that Daisy would be just across the bay" (78). His love for Daisy was the only thing that made him the man he was. He was intelligent, rich and even famous, all because of her. He threw big parties were many celebrities went and were thousands of dollars were spent in liquor and food just to call Daisy's attention. "I think he half expected her to wander into one of his parties, some night..." (79), recalled Jordan, Gatsby's friend, one night. All that Gatsby possessed was only and exclusively to show Daisy he could give her the life she wanted. Gatsby had constantly in mind the date he lost Daisy; he dreamt of the day he could have her back and of the day she would confess her love to him. "Five years next November" (87) he told Daisy when they met again. Five years waiting for his true love, five years idealizing his girl, five years of constant work to acquire enough wealth to have her back. "No, we couldn't meet.

The type of love portrayed is pure, everlasting, spiritual and infinite this is demonstrated here, 'and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.' This is telling us that the woman will love her lover even more after death if its god will but in the poem Porphyria's Lover the man kills the woman so that he can take control over her forever. This poem tells us that relationships are always loving because they want to love each other even after death. How Do I Love Thee?

  • 42. Beowulf: The Epitome Of An Anglo-Saxon Warrior The epic poem Beowulf expresses many Anglo–Saxon ideas. The Anglo–Saxons were warrior– farmers who loved fighting. Warriors were celebrated and valued in the Anglo–Saxon times. Beowulf, the main character of the poem, is an example of the archetypal "hero as warrior," which defines an Anglo–Saxon warrior. The Anglo–Saxons were always prepared for war and willing to fight for the sake of the people, just like Beowulf. Nearly god–like, Beowulf undergoes many physical and mental challenges in order to help others and showcase his heroic ways. Because Beowulf is a celebrated hero, has supernatural strength, and undying loyalty, he is the epitome of an Anglo–Saxon warrior. To begin, Beowulf's fame relates him to an Anglo–Saxon hero. Beowulf is well known because of his many feats, but remains humble. The great Anglo–Saxon warriors were also well known, and humility was an important aspect of being a celebrated warrior. Hrothgar, the leader of the Danes, had previously heard of Beowulf's fame and heroic feats. Unferth had also heard of Beowulf's fame, specifically Beowulf's battle at sea. This anecdote "are you– the same boastful fool who fought a swimming match with Brecca" (lines 239–241), exemplifies Beowulf's fame, as Unferth delves into the ...

The selflessness of this action showcases an important quality of a celebrated Anglo–Saxon warrior.

  • 46. Comparing Cinder And Fahrenheit 451 The novels Cinder by Marissa Meyer and Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury, are both books that fit into the dystopian genre. Although they are both dystopian novels, the themes expressed throughout both these books are entirely different. The themes that I will be contrasting from each book are, Conformity v.s Individuality, from Fahrenheit 451 and from the novel Cinder. " Don't be afraid of who you are." The next set of themes are, Alienation and loneliness, from Bradbury's novel and from Meyer's novel, " Cyborg, Earthling, Lunar– You are human." Finally from Cinder is a minor theme, " The undying hunger for power" and lastly, the importance of remembering and understanding history from Ray Bradbury's book. A theme from the novel Cinder, "Don't be afraid of who you are" has many differences from Fahrenheit 451's theme of conformity v.s individuality. The theme "Don't be afraid of who you are" is a major theme that is consistently visited by the main character Cinder. When Cinder first found out she was Princess Selene, it took her awhile before she finally accepted that she was the lost princess. But, it took a lot of her comrades to believe in her before she took her role in starting the revolution on Luna. The theme that is being contrasted to Cinder's theme is conformity v.s individuality.This theme is expressed throughout the whole novel, which makes it a major theme as well. In the book, Montag meets a seventeen year old girl named Clarisse. Clarisse is considered odd in this society because she'd rather talk to people than watch T.V, this is an example of individuality. A example of conformity is Montag's wife, Mildred, Mildred is rather content in watching T.V all day and do what people tell her to do.

His amorous attitude toward her is unchanging, yet afflictive because he cannot get her to understand his undying love for her. Furthermore, these feelings are gracefully portrayed through dreamy imagery, a bittersweet tone, a gentle quatrain form, and soft diction. The imagery and tone utilized by the speaker assists in conveying the speaker's attitude toward the woman in the poem. More specifically, the speaker creates a warm, dreamy image when describing the woman as being hypothetically old as he says, "And nodding by the fire, take down this book, and slowly read," with her eyes that will be "shadows deep."

The most blatant of these elements being the terrorization of a female victim as in the case of Manfred pursuing Isabella, explicit images such as the gruesome scene caused by the helmet falling on Conrad, prison settings such as the chapel holding Isabella or Theodore's imprisonment, supernatural and tragic undertones everywhere such as in the case of Milfred's undying love for an unappreciative prince, and the eventual death of Theodore's beloved. A shallow reading of the book might leave the reader with the impression that this novel is an archetypal male gothic novel. A closer inspection actually offers striking commentary on Classic male gothic through the juxtaposition of Manfred ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... I believe this quote was an exaggeration that adds additional sting to the stark contrast Walpole makes against Manfred. This quote was likely exaggerated commentary as Isabella seemed to be on Theodore's radar throughout the novel. Even as we discussed in class, it would be strange if Theodore never harbored passion for Isabella. Nonetheless, the quote effectively contrasts the abusive manner in which Manfred treats Hippolita and the way Theodore treats Matilda. In fact, Manfred's male gothic traits are so flagrant that Walpole even incorporates supernatural elements into the description to highlight the absurdity of his actions – "'It is done,' replied Manfred; "Frederic accepts Matilda's hand, and is content to waive his claim, unless I have no male issue" – as he spoke those words three drops of blood fell from the nose of Alfonso's statue. Manfred turned pale, and the Princess sank on her knees." (pg 72). These sort of flamboyant comparisons are numerous throughout the novel. Another good example of this is on page 70. Rather than holding grudges, Theodore actually holds the polar opposite of grudges. "'Nor have I forgotten, sir,' said Theodore, 'that the charity of his daughter delivered me from his power.

In addition to that, at times throughout the lliad, showing his humanity in moments that have touched him dearly. As it is portrayed throughout the lliad, when it came down between the embassies of Priam and Agamemnon's, it would be a decision which Achilles makes ultimately for his own reasoning and benefit. It would be Priam, who would be able to sway the great Achilles in the return of his son's body, while Agamemnon's would ultimate fail. It would be for the reason which Priam and Achilles shared in a moment of loss for individuals they cared for deeply. That it is with the aid of Priam's embassy, that Achilles is able to further reach in achieving his goal of honor and undying fame. The relationship or lack thereof between Achilles and Agamemnon would put them at odds constantly, both having different agendas and views in regards to the war. Early in the beginning, we saw that honor was an important factor for Achilles, which was a part of his ultimate end goal. In the scene between Achilles and his mother, he says, "Mother, since you bore me for a short life only, Olympian Zeus was supposed to grant me honor. Well, he hasn't given me any at all. Agamemnon has taken away my prize and dishonored me.," (lliad Bk 1 pg. 17) which in one of the instances that shows a divide between them. That it's not about having a "prize", but the ...

He worries in the future of who will be their "protector" and how they will be taken care of, since he knows that he will ultimately die in battle. Hector sees his fellow Trojans and those in his militia as family. He values his death with them as more important than staying close with his family and helping them survive.

What this simply entails is that, "all reality is ultimately one" (91, 5). Now, in order for Atman [the undying soul (OUP, 8/14)] to achieve moksha (the final release from the cycle of death and rebirth) and at last reunite itself with Brahman as a single entity, Atman must first rid itself of its karma. Karma can be compared to that of a checklist when putting it in simpler terms.

Many African religions consider the High God [supreme deity (64, 2)] to be "transcendent and removed from the lives of humans" (64, 3) and that their daily lives are influenced or controlled by gods or other supernatural beings (64, 2). Whereas, in SD, the "supreme deity" in this case would be Brahman (which the soul cannot reunite with until it has achieved moksha) and that the daily, as well as future, lives of Hindus is determined by one's karma (cn, 9/14). I found these commonalities to be quite similar, yet at the same time vastly different because, within African religions, the High God could differ among separate groups of people [such as with the Dogon, who view Amma as their High God (64, 3) and the Samburu people of Kenya who believe in Nkai (64, 4)]. In SD, the ultimate entity is undoubtedly Brahman, for it is when Atman achieves moksha that it finally realizes its "true self" and is freed from the Saha world (cn, 9/12).

In Emily Bronte's gothic romance novel, Wuthering Heights, she presents a character, Heathcliff, who is driven with so much passion for his one true love, Catherine, that he resorts to acts of violence to defend his love for her. Heathcliff is an antihero and his character has many complexities due to his undying love for Catherine. Although Heathcliff's character is complex, most of his violence originates within him simply because he suffers from a deep passionate love for the one and only Catherine. In the beginning, the narrator says Heathcliff's quietness is not because of his gentleness but rather his hardness. Accordingly, this foreshadows that Heathcliff's character will be very prominent in the story because the reader can interpret this quietness that is due to hardness may be a probable conflict later in the story.

The latter was what had happened to Eliezer Wiesel, also known as Elie. During his memoir known as Night Elie's tone continuously darkened throughout the book. At the beginning of the book, the only thing that Elie cared about was staying with his family. For example, during section 1, Elie wanted to stay with his family and didn't want anyone to leave the ghetto. Also during section 3 on page 29, Elie was talking about the SS soldiers who were splitting families and sending women to one side and men to the other. "Tzipora was holding mother's hand. I saw them walking farther and farther away; Mother was stroking my sister's blond hair, as if to protect her" (Wiesel 29). Here Elie talked about how he watched as his mother and sister were taken away, and later on he says how he would never see the two of them again.

Similarities Between Cyrano De Bergerac And Sonnet 18 "Love shows itself in many forms" –Unknown This is a careful analysis of Edmond Rostand's play Cyrano de Bergerac and William Shakespeare's poem Sonnet 18. They both can be compared in theme and use of romanticism. Even if Cyrano was written two centuries and eighty–nine years after Sonnet 18 they are still stunningly alike. Both of the authors show how love shows itself even if it is not direct. The first comparative aspect of the poem and play is theme. In Cyrano, the theme is how love can be in many different forms. This can be proven when in Act III "Roxanne's Kiss" to the end of act IV "The Cadets of Gascone" where Cyrano, hidden by shadow pretends to be Christian and talks his feelings to her. This is also in act IV where he writes Christan's letters home to Roxanne which also was just Cyrano talking from his own heart. Whereas in Sonnet 18 the theme is "Love is direct and from the heart". In stanza one Shakespeare talks directly about how much he loves her and says she's more beautiful for summer itself. I can tell this from when Shakespeare says "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate."

Knowing that she was wrong she longed to be–rid her guilt to seek forgiveness in her community.

By the end of the novel her sin was forgiven as the community saw her as able, as shown when the narrator says, " The letter was the symbol of her calling.

They said that it meant Able; so strong was Hester Prynne, with a woman's strength" (158).

This feeling of impending doom from the East led to the 1917 Immigration Restriction Act and the National Origins Act of 1924–two acts that prevented nearly all Asian immigrants from legally entering the United States and prohibited immigrants already in the United States from attaining citizenship. The height of a fear of the Yellow Peril happened immediately after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, leading the United States to enter into the Pacific War.

"There were those who saw her light and marveled at it, admired her and rejoiced. But only those who caught her fire could begin to understand" (71). I think that she was very influential because she broke the role she played in her family for faith and a spiritual life, which may be seen as a small movement towards woman's rights, even though they were still heavily restricted on what women could do and where they can go. By leaving her class behind to enter into a new spiritual world and weaving linens for poor churches around Assisi, I believe St. Clare clearly expresses her compassion for others, the church, and love for Lady Poverty. Clare ignored her family role of being married off which "she sidestepped the prospect of marriage skillfully and repeatedly" (26). By going against the customs of that time, I believe that she started a small woman's movement; where she influenced alike women of a higher class into following God and denying their conventional role of a woman at that time. ...

Blurring the lines of literature and non–fiction, the epic writes as a pseudo auto–biography of Gilgamesh's and Enkidu's adventures. After discovering the secret of the Deluge, Gilgamesh "set all his labours on a tablet of stone" (George 1). In composing his own story, Gilgamesh procures a legendary status as the 'author' of the earliest known great works of literature.

The slums, especially, were victims to prostitution, murder and drug abuse. Jack the Ripper was free on the streets, making many people scared. The police couldn't catch him so the public resented the police force as they weren't seen to be protecting them. I think that this is one of the reasons why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so successful. The idea of a detective who solves every crime would appeal highly to a Victorian readership. Also, all the clues are given to the reader which invites them to solve the crime as well. To help me answer this question, I will ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Watson respects this, and has become accustomed to Holmes' somewhat peculiar way of working. He also, never asks Holmes about his thought process during the investigation, because he knows that Holmes will tell him when he is ready. Modern detectives also follow this pattern with the main detective and the less talented, loyal "side kick" The three stories I have studied, although they have common features, are set in very different places. "The Speckled Band" is set in Dr Roylett's house. The physical description given by Conan Doyle gives an image of dereliction; "the windows were broken and blocked with wooden boards, while the roof was partly caved in, a picture of ruin", with only one wing of the house with suitable living conditions. This supports the idea of money as a motif, because the house is falling apart, and Dr Roylett has not been able to do it up. "Silver Blaze" is set on the moors of Dartmoor. This isolated and eerie setting creates a fearful atmosphere. The crime was committed in a hollow out on the moor. When Holmes and Watson are following the footprints we get the impression that they are totally alone, with nothing and no–one around for miles. "The Cardboard Box", however, is set in a totally different location. The street to which the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 130. The Tragedy Of Romeo And Juliet There has been a burning question debated by scholars till this very day, is The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet a love story? Romeo and Juliet is a love story. They express their undying love for each other throughout the play. Within the play, written by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet go to extremes to express their love for each other, ranging from their first kiss, to killing themselves by the end of the play. By going to such extremes they prove their love for each other, therefore, making the play a love story. (Act 3, Scene 2, Juliet and Act 3, Scene 3, Romeo). These passages are examples of Romeo and Juliet professing their love to each other. Juliet had another suitor, who was handsome and rich, but she fell for Romeo instead. These strong feelings that Romeo and Juliet have for each other cannot purely be infatuation, but true love. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... (Act 2, Scene 6, Friar Lawrence). Marrying someone is considered the ultimate display of love, however, this marriage is convoluted because they are opposing the long–standing rivalry between their families, the Montagues and the Capulets. This family hatred is so entrenched that it even caused the deaths of family members. Juliet's family, the Capulets, were noted saying if Romeo was caught on their property, he would be killed. Romeo and Juliet show blatant disregard for the feud by dismissing it and going through with marriage, it expresses their intense love for one another and shows that love is stronger than ...

Faith In A Good Man Is Hard To Find In A Good Man is Hard to Find, Flannery O'Connor depicts the story of a family of six: a grandmother, her son Bailey, Bailey's wife, and the couple's children––a son, a daughter, and a baby. The family decides to travel to Florida, much to the grandmother's protests on the basis that the criminal, the Misfit, had escaped from prison and was headed to the same state. Bailey heeds to his mother and children's insistent demands to visit a plantation, but upon realizing that the plantation had actually been in Tennessee, not Florida, the grandmother jerks her feet and causes the cat, Pitty Sing, to jump onto Bailey's shoulders. Bailey, consequently, wrecks the car, and three men arrive in another car upon witnessing the accident. The grandmother ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Throughout O'Connor's A Good Man is Hard to Find, there is a recurring theme reflected in the characters' morals and ultimate demise: those who unquestionably and naively trust others, even for the sake of being a "good" person, often suffer. The consequences of naivete and undying faith in others is demonstrated through the characters' values and their downfall, especially that of the grandmother. The grandmother repeatedly claims to have high standards and morals, though her definition of a "good" person is always fluctuating and inconsistent. When Red Sammy Butts complains about untrustworthy people and mentions a time he allows two young men to purchase gas on credit, the grandmother responds by claiming, "Because you're a good man!" (O'Connor 332). The grandmother praises Red Sam's naivety and believes that he was deceived because of his good nature and willingness to help. Apparently, she perceives a "good" person as one who is amiable to the point of being gullible and credulous. Later on, she lies to the children about a secret panel at the plantation so that they unrelentingly irritate Bailey until he agrees to drive there (333–334). ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 138. Examples Of Rationale In Romeo And Juliet Romeo and Juliet By William Shakespeare A rationale Why did I choose Romeo and Juliet? Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is a tragic love story between two young lovers that are caught up in a decades old rivalry between two families; Montague and Capulet. I chose this play because it is known for its style and individuality and it is a classic love story. How would I stage Romeo and Juliet? There have been many of recreations of Romeo and Juliet and I feel like the true meaning of the play has been lost under translation and modernisation. I would stage the play in a non– naturalistic style and it would be performed in the Garden Theatre (Brisbane Botanical Gardens). The elements of drama (roles and relationships, symbol, mood, focus, tension) used in this play. What effect do they have? ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Shakespeare used the dispute between the Montague and Capulet families to create tension of relationships. When Romeo and Juliet were secretly seeing each other, there was a tension of the task, to avoid their family. As the audience, we feel tension of mystery of what will happen and tension of surprise by the many wild twist and turns in the plot line. The feud helps to drive the plot and lead the audience to the tragic ending. The poison that Romeo consumes and the knife that Juliet uses symbolises the feud between the families. The rivalry between Montague and Capulet is an ongoing issue through the performance. The roles and relationships between characters are affected by their history and the choices they make. For example; The Nurse and Juliet have a special relationship. At the start of the play their relation is fun, loving and teasing but when Juliet needs her confidante the most, she is betrayed and told to go marry Paris for the greater good. An ...

But art can prepare people for change, it can be educational and persuasive in people's thinking." Although art may not change someone's opinion it can get them to think about why their opinion is being challenged. This is what Elizabeth Catlett meant when she said her famous quote. Elizabeth Catlett was a great artist, as proved by her various art styles and mediums, her countless awards, and her undying effort to persuade her viewers' to have a more positive opinion on women and African Americans. Even though Catlett had explored many differents styles and mediums, all of her work did very well with the public. She made realistic figures with abstract and modernist features to show the objects emotions. She used African and Mexican influences to further her themes of social injustice. Catlett started her art career with printmaking, and some of her most famous pieces, like her Harriet Tubman portrait, became very popular and well–liked. Catlett shifted towards sculpture in the 1950s, after being barred from entering the United States (Elizabeth Catlett, Sculptor With Eye on Social Issues, Is Dead at 96).

In Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner, the author redefines loyalty through a faithful Hazara boy, Hassan, in Afghanistan. Hassan is the servant and best friend of the privileged Amir. It has been proven through many events that Hassan has an undying loyalty to Amir. Hassan's undying loyalty to Amir has a negative impact on his life and ultimately results in his death. Hasan's loyalty is shown when he does not give Assef Amir's kite and ends up being raped, when he conceals his attack to protect Amir and is tortured by Assef, and when he is killed by the Taliban for protecting Amir's home.

Some of these differences between these two intriguing poems are: mood, rhyme scheme, and two different futures. However, to combat these differences, they both have ballad, enjambment, and both of them focus their eyes on the future. Between these two enchanting poems, their mood differ dramatically. For the poem, "A Red, Red Rose," By Robert Burns, this poem's mood about undying and faithful love. An example from the poem that supports this is, "And I will Luve thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry–".

An example of diction in one of these poems ("A Red, Red Rose) is, " As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I: And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry." This is a stanza from "A Red, Red Rose," which shows the authors very specific word choice that he used for his example of undying and faithful love.
