The knight tells his story to the stranger in 3 parts:
1. He met a beautiful fairy-like woman who enchanted him with her wild eyes and romantic gestures.
2. She lured him to her magical grotto where she put him into a prophetic sleep with kisses.
3. He awoke to a vision of pale kings warning that the beautiful lady had ensnared him, and now he remains on the barren hill, lonely and lovesick.
The Good-Morrow by John Donne: Analysis. The Good-Morrow, by John Donne, chiefly deals with a love that advances further from lusty love to the spiritual love.The poem makes use of biblical and Catholic writings, indirectly referencing the legend of the Seven Sleepers and Paul the Apostle's description of divine, agapic love – two concepts with which, as a practicing Catholic, Donne would have been familiar.
Yeats explores his thoughts and musings on how immortality, art, and the human spirit may converge. Through the use of various poetic techniques, Yeats's Sailing to Byzantium describes the metaphorical journey of a man pursuing his own vision of eternal life as well as his conception of paradise.

As with narrative, there are "elements" of poetry that we can focus on to enrich our understanding of a particular poem or group of poems. These elements may include, voice, diction, imagery, figures of speech, symbolism and allegory, syntax, sound, rhythm and meter, and structure. While we may discuss these elements separately, please keep in mind that they are always acting simultaneously in a story. It is difficult, for example, to discuss voice without talking about imagery, sound, meter, diction and syntax. Above all, these elements reveal something about the poem's "theme," meaning, or function.
Voice: Speaker and Tone-
As DiYanni notes, tone refers to the poet's "implied attitude toward its subject. Tone is an abstraction we make from the details of a poem's language: the use of meter and rhyme; the inclusion of certain kinds of details and exclusion of other kinds; particular choices of words and sentence pattern, of imagery and of figurative language" (479). A poem could convey reverence toward its subject, or cynicism, fear, awe, disgust, regret, disappointment, passion, monotony, etc. Tone has a great deal to do with meaning, for a description of a parent would be radically different depending on a poet's attitude toward that parent.
Diction, Imagery, Figures of Speech, Symbolism and Allegory-
Simply put, diction refers to word choice and is intimately related to imagery and figures of speech because a poet chooses a word to achieve a certain sensory, emotional, or intellectual effect. Choosing "wandered," for example, suggests something different than, say, "walked around," "shuffled," "drifted," "floated," etc., for each word suggests a different attitude, image, or connection. Your job is to explore the possibilities, always broadening the meaning and linking it with other words and images. For example, placing words in new contexts creates metaphors, for the word suggests one meaning and the context another.
As noted earlier, word choices creates images, the "concrete representation of a sense impression, feeling, or idea. Images may invoke our sight, hearing, sense of smell and taste, and tactile perceptions." Imagery refers to a pattern of related details. When images form patterns of related details that convey an idea or feeling beyond what the images literally describe, we call them metaphorical or symbolic. The details suggest one thing in terms of another. For example, images of light often convey knowledge and life, while images of darkness suggest ignorance or death. This leap from one image to its symbolic counterpart is based on an interpretive act and must be done in context. For example, white is usually associated with purity, cleanliness, and virginity, but in Moby Dick the great whale is white and suggests absolute evil, but the use that symbolic color is consistent within the novel. Figures of speech refer to special kinds of language use.
For Essay 1, write an explication of one of the assigned poe.docxRAJU852744

of the assigned poems.
Choose to write about
only one
of the following:
"The Fish"
"A Blessing"
"My Papa's Waltz"
"Lady Lazarus"

Unit 1 will cover, in detail, how to write an explication essay. In brief, "in an explication essay, you examine a work in much detail. Line by line, stanza by stanza...you explain each part as fully as you can and show how the author's techniques produce your response. An explication is essentially a demonstration of your thorough understanding of a work" (
Literature: The Human Experience
47).
For this particular essay, you will want to focus on the poetic techniques of diction, tone, image, and/or figurative language, which we will also cover in this unit.
Your essay should be between 500 and 750 words and adhere to MLA formatting. It needs to quote directly from your chosen text for support, but it should
not
use any secondary research.
Remember that the explication essay should
not just
summarize the poem.
It needs to look at the different elements of poetry used and offer a detailed
explanation
of the poem that also addresses the poem's overall effect and meaning.
The Fish
Elizabeth Bishop
,
1911
-
1979
I caught a tremendous fish
and held him beside the boat
half out of water, with my hook
fast in a corner of his mouth.
He didn’t fight.
He hadn’t fought at all.
He hung a grunting weight,
battered and venerable
and homely. Here and there
his brown skin hung in strips
like ancient wallpaper,
and its pattern of darker brown
was like wallpaper:
shapes like full-blown roses
stained and lost through age.
He was speckled with barnacles,
fine rosettes of lime,
and infested
with tiny white sea-lice,
and underneath two or three
rags of green weed hung down.
While his gills were breathing in
the terrible oxygen
—the frightening gills,
fresh and crisp with blood,
that can cut so badly—
I thought of the coarse white flesh
packed in like feathers,
the big bones and the little bones,
the dramatic reds and blacks
of his shiny entrails,
and the pink swim-bladder
like a big peony.
I looked into his eyes
which were far larger than mine
but shallower, and yellowed,
the irises backed and packed
with tarnished tinfoil
seen through the lenses
of old scratched isinglass.
They shifted a little, but not
to return my stare.
—It was more like the tipping
of an object toward the light.
I admired his sullen face,
the mechanism of his jaw,
and then I saw
that from his lower lip
—if you could call it a lip—
grim, wet, and weaponlike,
hung five old pieces of fish-line,
or four and a wire leader
with the swivel still attached,
with all their five big hooks
grown firmly in his mouth.
A green line, frayed at the end
where he broke it, two heavier lines,
and a fine black thread
still crimped from the strain and snap
when it broke and he got away.
Like medals with their ribbons

Romantic Poems
:
Samuel Coleridge
, "Kubla Khan" (1798)
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree;
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round;
And here were gardens bright with sinuous rills
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But O, that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced;
Amid whose swift, half-intermittent burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail.
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean;
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war!
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw.
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
`Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight 'twould win me
That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
William Wordsworth
, "The Solitary Reaper" (1807)
Behold her, single in the field,
Yon solitary Highland Lassl
leaping and singing by herself;
Stop here, or gently passl
Alone she cuts and binds the grain,
And sings a melancholy strahl;
O listen for the Vale profound
Is overflowing with the sound.
No Nightingale did ever chaunt
More welcome notes to weary bands
Of travellers in some shally haunt,
Among Arabian sands:
A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard
In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird,
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides.
Will no on.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Form of the poem
Ballad
The folk ballad, which usually tells a basic story of love or pain, is
known for its simple language and minimal details.
Ballads are written in four line stanzas, and often the second and
fourth lines rhyme.
4. Structure
The poem can be divided into two parts.
The first part: from stanza one to three.
The questions of the stranger to the knight.
The work of the first three stanzas is to make the symbols a living part of that
reality; in other words, there suggests a connection between men and nature.
The second part: from stanza four to twelve.
The knight’s reply to the stranger.
From stanza 4-12, there is nine precisely balanced stanzas containing the main
narrative. The progress of the knight in the first four stanzas (4-7) comes to the
central one (8) when he is taken into the elfin grot, and in the last four stanzas (9-
12), he withdraws from the grot.

O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has withered from the lake,
And no birds sing.
O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
So haggard and so woe-begone?
The squirrel's granary is full,
And the harvest's done.
I see a lily on thy brow,
With anguish moist and fever dew,
And on thy cheeks a fading rose
Fast witherth too.
"I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful- a faery's child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.
"I made a garland for her head,
And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
She looked at me as she did love
And made sweet moan.
"I set her on my pacing steed,
And nothing else saw all day long;
For sidelong would she bend, and sing
A faery's song.
What is troubling you, knight-at-arms,
All alone and waiting about?
The grass has died off around the lake
And the birds don't sing.
What is troubling you, knight-at-arms,
So tired and immersed in sorrow?
The squirrel’s storehouse is full
And the harvest’s over.
You are as pale as a lily flower
And sweating, as if you suffer from illness,
And on your cheeks the blush of life
Quickly fades away.
“I met a lady in the meadow,
As beautiful as a faery’s child,
With long hair, a dancer's step
And wild eyes.
“I made a crown of flowers for her hair,
Bracelets, and a belt of flowers
She looked at me as if she loved [me]
And gave a soft moan.
“I set her on my restless horse
And my mind was consumed by her presence
For sideways she would bend and sing
The song of a faery.

"She found me roots of relish sweet,
And honey wild, and manna-dew;
And sure in language strange she said,
'I love thee true.'
"She took me to her elfin grot,
And there she wept and sighed full sore,
And there I shut her wild, wild eyes,
With kisses four.
"And there she lullèd me asleep,
And there I dreamed- ah! woe betide!-
The latest dream I ever dreamed
On the cold hill's side.
"I saw pale kings, and princes too,
Pale warriors, death-pale were they all:
They cried- "La Belle Dame sans Merci
Hath thee in thrall!'
"I saw their starved lips in the gloam,
With horrid warning gapèd wide,
And I awoke, and found me here,
On the cold hill's side.
"And this is why I sojourn here
Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge is withered from the lake,
And no birds sing."
“She found me sweet relish roots
And wild honey, and the hardened, sugary sap of certain trees,
And surely, in a foreign language she said
‘I love you truly.'
“She took me to her faery grotto
And there she wept and sighed strongly,
And there I put her gently to sleep
With four kisses.
“And there she calmed me to sleep
And then I dreamed- and suffering befalls!
The last dream I ever dreamed
On the cold side of the hill.
“I saw pale kings, and princes as well,
And pale warriors, all ghostlike and deathly,
They cried- ‘The beautiful lady without pity
Has enslaved you!’
“I saw their perishing lips in the gloom
Gaped wide with horrid warning,
And I woke up, and found myself here,
On the cold side of the hill.
“And this is why I linger here,
All alone and waiting about,
Though the grass has died off around the lake
And the birds don't sing.”
7. Stanzas 1-3
O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has withered from the lake,
And no birds sing.
O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
So haggard and so woe-begone?
The squirrel's granary is full,
And the harvest's done.
I see a lily on thy brow,
With anguish moist and fever dew,
And on thy cheeks a fading rose
Fast witherth too.
The knight’s haggard look
is shown by the
questioner’s asking and
description.
The knight is in an
infertile spot, where
the reed has become
lifeless; however, the
squirrel’s winter
storage is full and
the harvest has been
completed. Here
contrasts two views
of life.
Lily means paleness and fading
rose implies the knight’s pang.
Moist and dew both show the
anguish which the knight suffers.
all the nouns can make us
imagine the knight’s haggard look.
The first two stanzas have identical patterns: the first half of each
addresses a question to the knight-at-arms about his spiritual
condition; and the second half comments on the natural setting.
Speaker:In the first three stanzas, the speaker is
the questioner(narrator) with a concerning tone.
He is a stranger, we don’t know his age, sex…
8. Stanzas 4-6
"I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful- a faery's child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.
"I made a garland for her head,
And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
She looked at me as she did love
And made sweet moan.
"I set her on my pacing steed,
And nothing else saw all day long;
For sidelong would she bend, and sing
A faery's song.
Wildness of eyes is not usually
used to describe a lady. It seems
that the lady has some
mysterious power to charm men,
especially by her wild eyes.
Stanza 4 to stanza 12.
Speaker: the knight
To emphasize the knight’s
surprising meeting, Keats uses
the magical words to describe
what happened.
Romantic gestures
9. Stanzas 7-9
"She found me roots of relish sweet,
And honey wild, and manna-dew;
And sure in language strange she said,
'I love thee true.'
"She took me to her elfin grot,
And there she wept and sighed full sore,
And there I shut her wild, wild eyes,
With kisses four.
"And there she lullèd me asleep,
And there I dreamed- ah! woe betide!-
The latest dream I ever dreamed
On the cold hill's side.
When we shed tears, we show
sorrowful or joyful looks, but we
do not usually have wildness in
our eyes. This kind of expression
in her eyes is not like a human
being, so the lady is thought to
be a non-mortal.
He was powerless.
Implies the sinister reality
which the knight faces.
Supported by idea that hills
are often where the fairies
and elves live.
Her romantic
gestures in return.
10. Stanzas 10-12
"I saw pale kings, and princes too,
Pale warriors, death-pale were they all:
They cried- "La Belle Dame sans Merci
Hath thee in thrall!'
"I saw their starved lips in the gloam,
With horrid warning gapèd wide,
And I awoke, and found me here,
On the cold hill's side.
"And this is why I sojourn here
Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge is withered from the lake,
And no birds sing."
The kings’ and princes’
starved appearances
seem to predict how
dreadful and miserable
the knight’s future will
be.
The completion of a circular movement is marked by the fact that the last
stanza echoes the first stanza and answers the stranger’s questions in the
introductory three stanzas and brings the poem round full circle, so that the
final stanza may be an approximate repetition of the first.
Implies he will be
there for some
time.
