This document provides an introduction and index for a collection of poetry and prose by Allan D Stewart from 1946 to 2005. The introduction discusses how the author finds inspiration from life's emotions and experiences and hopes readers can find meaning and understanding from his writings. It includes a sample poem titled "Always There" about the author feeling alone for the first time but having parents who were always supportive.
This document contains analyses of several poems. The first analysis summarizes a poem titled "Shopping for Yourself" as being about not needing to rush through life and appreciating what you have. The next two analyses summarize additional poems about feeling trapped by emotions and the ups and downs of life.
The poem describes the importance of cats having three different types of names - an everyday name used by the family, fancier names if they sound sweeter, and a name that is particular and more dignified to help the cat keep their tail up and pride. It provides examples for each type of name, such as everyday names like Peter or George, fancier names like Plato or Electra, and more dignified names like Munkustrap, Quaxo or Bombalurina.
The poem describes a drowned man who was calling for help but was misunderstood. While he appeared to be waving, he was actually drowning and crying out for assistance. After his death, others dismissively attribute it to the cold temperature rather than take responsibility for failing to rescue him when he called for help. In the end, the drowned man laments that he has been emotionally isolated and misunderstood his whole life, not just in his final moments of distress.
The document provides information about sonnets, including their defining features. It discusses the typical structure of a sonnet, including the octave/sestet structure in Petrarchan sonnets and the three quatrains/couplet structure of Shakespearean sonnets. It also provides examples of famous sonnets by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and William Shakespeare to illustrate these forms.
This document provides an introduction to poetry, discussing various poetic elements and techniques. It begins by defining poetry and noting that it uses musical language to capture intense experiences. It then explains that poetry has a speaker and is formatted differently than prose, often using lines and stanzas. The document goes on to discuss several key elements of poetry, including rhythm, sound devices like rhyme and alliteration, and imagery. It emphasizes that both the left and right brains are used in analyzing and understanding poetry.
The document contains excerpts from several poems by Petra White. The first poem, "A Hunger", explores the complex emotions of a relationship, including desire, doubt, and fear of loss. It describes consuming another's breath "like meat" and hoping against the fleeting nature of love. Another poem, "The Relic", references a historical relic and likens brief lives to sparrows flying through a hall, highlighting the transience of life. A third poem, "Truth and Beauty", depicts a woman grappling with aging and the inevitable fading of beauty over time. It explores the universal desire for beauty and the "truest darkness" of trying to hold onto youth.
Whitman describes various scenes of American life: hunting alone in the wilderness, sailing on a clipper ship, spending time with boatmen and clam diggers around a chowder kettle. He witnesses an outdoor wedding in the West between a trapper and a Native American bride. He then helps a runaway slave who comes to his house exhausted, giving him shelter, medical aid and clean clothes.

In 1972, he suddenly felt popular again as a teacher enjoying 6 years of success. But manic depression caused him to feel disconnected again until finding a middle ground in later life. Now in his 60s, the author no longer tries to feel "with it" and instead finds meaning through reading and personal truths.
This story is about a young girl who finds a nest of baby birds in a hollow tree trunk near her home. She visits them every day to watch them grow from tiny pink creatures into feathered birds.

Summary of a Literary Non-Fiction Text 500 wordsA succinct sum.docxpicklesvalery
This summary provides the key details about the assignment in 3 sentences:
The document instructs students to write a 500-word summary of the literary non-fiction text "How it Feels to be Coloured Me" by Zora Neale Hurston. It specifies that the summary must be in MLA format with the student's name, professor, course, and date in the top left corner and the student's last name and page number in the top right. The text "How it Feels to be Coloured Me" is then presented for the student to summarize.
Figurative Language (Poetic Devices for Senior Students)missmaryah
The document provides definitions and examples of various poetic forms, devices, and terminology. It begins by defining different types of poems like ballads, elegies, sonnets, odes, and free verse. It then explains common poetic structures, such as stanzas, rhyme schemes, and line breaks. Finally, it outlines several literary devices that poets use to add depth and meaning, including metaphor, personification, allusion, and irony. The document serves as a reference guide for understanding different elements of poetry.
The poem explores the themes of love and loss. It describes watching a past love walk away and being "empty-handed" with "holes" in their pockets, feeling the "pricking" of being alone. There is imagery of "vomiting bliss" and a "watered-down version of a patched-up something that was, but cannot be anymore." The poem expresses how some are unable to truly love again after a prior love, and how picking up the pieces is difficult. Love is portrayed as a game to some who tire of others' abuse.
This is our seventh issue, Emergence! While contemplating the theme, we came across Emergence, as a nod to the changing normality of our culture and sense of self. Having spent the better part of the past two years on our own during this pandemic, we wanted to center on the act of self-reflection. It is the exploration of the many facets of our identities, how they merge together to form a complex and wonderful person, and the ways in which we strive to understand ourselves and each other.
This Sufi poem by Rumi explores the interconnectedness of all things in the universe and encourages embracing unity, love and kindness over separation, malice and bitterness. It notes how life and death blend together, as do enemies and friends, winter and spring. The poem urges readers to mingle with others as all of nature does, and to brighten their faces and cast off bitter smiles, instead embracing generosity and making up with others. It promotes focusing on unity and togetherness in this life rather than thinking of the next or of the dead.
This collection of poems is dedicated to the author's mother, Lisa Moyer. It includes poems about nature, life experiences, and lessons. The author summarizes each poem and explains why she chose to include it, relating themes of optimism, resilience, and the importance of choosing words carefully. She hopes the poems will inspire her mother and bring back fond memories.
This document provides guidance on how to write an effective essay analyzing a poem. It recommends examining both the content and form of a poem, and considering how the two are related. The author suggests focusing the essay around a thesis about how the poet presents the given topic through specific poetic techniques like imagery, patterns, language choices and form. Several examples are provided of potential thesis statements. The document also gives tips on organizing observations and using evidence to support an argument.
This summary provides an overview of 3 poems from the document:
1) John Dowland's poem "Can she excuse my wrongs..." expresses the speaker's frustration with a lover who proves unkind despite promises.
2) William Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 compares the subject's beauty to nature, saying their beauty surpasses nature's imperfections and will remain eternal.
3) George Herbert's poem "The Pulley" is an allegory where God withholds one final blessing, rest, so that humanity remains dependent on God rather than nature.
The document discusses the negative effects of "blind love" or immature love among young people. It describes how love can ruin students' academic careers as they plunge deeper into love's "thorny valley." Just as drug addicts experience depression and frustration as addiction takes hold, lovers feel initially joyful but can experience rejection and despair. While drug treatment may save lives, there is no effective treatment for the "disease of the heart." The document suggests initiating an "anti-love campaign" and that true love should be directed towards Allah and the Prophet Muhammad rather than fleeting romantic relationships.
This document is an introduction to a treatise on poetry written by Dr. A.V. Koshy. It discusses some general thoughts on poetry, including defining poetry in both a broad and narrow sense. It also addresses the need for poets to cultivate a body of work rather than being "one hit wonders." Additionally, it provides two asides, one noting the challenge of writing poetry in fragments such as on Facebook, and another disavowing claims of being a scholar while emphasizing sharing knowledge about poetry alongside writing it. The introduction concludes by stating the author's preference for simplicity, clarity and communication in writing prose.
Heritage” by Countee Cullen What is Africa to me C.docxpooleavelina
“Heritage” by Countee Cullen
What is Africa to me:
Copper sun or scarlet sea,
Jungle star or jungle track,
Strong bronzed men, or regal black
Women from whose loins I sprang
When the birds of Eden sang?
One three centuries removed
From the scenes his fathers loved,
Spicy grove, cinnamon tree,
What is Africa to me?
So I lie, who all day long
Want no sound except the song
Sung by wild barbaric birds
Goading massive jungle herds,
Juggernauts of flesh that pass
Trampling tall defiant grass
Where young forest lovers lie,
Plighting troth beneath the sky.
So I lie, who always hear,
Though I cram against my ear
Both my thumbs, and keep them there,
Great drums throbbing through the air.
So I lie, whose fount of pride,
Dear distress, and joy allied,
Is my somber flesh and skin,
With the dark blood dammed within
Like great pulsing tides of wine
That, I fear, must burst the fine
Channels of the chafing net
Where they surge and foam and fret.
Africa? A book one thumbs
Listlessly, till slumber comes.
Unremembered are her bats
Circling through the night, her cats
Crouching in the river reeds,
Stalking gentle flesh that feeds
By the river brink; no more
Does the bugle-throated roar
Cry that monarch claws have leapt
From the scabbards where they slept.
Silver snakes that once a year
Doff the lovely coats you wear,
Seek no covert in your fear
Lest a mortal eye should see;
What's your nakedness to me?
Here no leprous flowers rear
Fierce corollas in the air;
Here no bodies sleek and wet,
Dripping mingled rain and sweat,
Tread the savage measures of
Jungle boys and girls in love.
What is last year's snow to me,
Last year's anything? The tree
Budding yearly must forget
How its past arose or set
Bough and blossom, flower, fruit,
Even what shy bird with mute
Wonder at her travail there,
Meekly labored in its hair.
One three centuries removed
From the scenes his fathers loved,
Spicy grove, cinnamon tree,
What is Africa to me?
So I lie, who find no peace
Night or day, no slight release
From the unremittent beat
Made by cruel padded feet
Walking through my body's street.
Up and down they go, and back,
Treading out a jungle track.
So I lie, who never quite
Safely sleep from rain at night--
I can never rest at all
When the rain begins to fall;
Like a soul gone mad with pain
I must match its weird refrain;
Ever must I twist and squirm,
Writhing like a baited worm,
While its primal measures drip
Through my body, crying, "Strip!
Doff this new exuberance.
Come and dance the Lover's Dance!"
In an old remembered way
Rain works on me night and day.
Quaint, outlandish heathen gods
Black men fashion out of rods,
Clay, and brittle bits of stone,
In a likeness like their own,
My conversion came high-priced;
I belong to Jesus Christ,
Preacher of humility;
Heathen gods are naught to me.

The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

1. Macbeth 3 –
My way of life // Is fall’n into the sere, the yellow leaf.
MACBETH Seyton!—I am sick at heart
When I behold—Seyton, I say!—This push
Will cheer me ever or disseat me now.
I have lived long enough. My way of life
Is fall’n into the sere, the yellow leaf,
And that which should accompany old age,
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have; but in their stead
Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath
Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not. (5.3.21-30)
Sere - being dried and withered.
Enjambement – “hanging line” – when the
sentence 'runs over' or ‘JUMPS OVER' from one
poetic line to the next, without punctuation.

9. «Макбет», перевод Бориса Пастернака
Макбет
Сейтон! - А в душе
Я сам встревожен. – Сейтон! - Эта битва
Меня погубит или утвердит.
Я пожил на своем веку. Я дожил
До осени, до желтого листа.
На то, что скрашивает нашу старость -
На преданность, любовь и круг друзей,
-
Не вправе я рассчитывать. Проклятья,
Прикрытые трусливой лестью, - вот
Что мне осталось да дыханье жизни,
Которую б не прочь я прекратить,
Когда бы с нею мог расстаться. -
Сейтон!
MACBETH Seyton!—I am sick at heart
When I behold—Seyton, I say!—This push
Will cheer me ever or disseat me now.
I have lived long enough. My way of life
Is fall’n into the sear, the yellow leaf,
And that which should accompany old age,
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have; but in their stead
Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath
Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not.
10. Modern translation
Seyton! – my heart’s sick when I look
at – Seyton, I say! — This battle will
make me happy forever or destroy
me right now. I’ve lived long enough.
My life has dryed up, like a leaf in
autumn. The things that should
come with old age — respect, love,
obedience, and groups of friends –
I’ll never have. Instead, I have curses
— not loud ones but deeply felt —
and lip service — A life that my
heart would gladly bring to an end,
but I don’t have the courage. Seyton!
MACBETH Seyton!—I am sick at heart
When I behold—Seyton, I say!—This push
Will cheer me ever or disseat me now.
I have lived long enough. My way of life
Is fall’n into the sear, the yellow leaf,
And that which should accompany old age,
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have; but in their stead
Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath
Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not.

12. Level 9 homework: copy out this paragraph by hand. Do you feel sorry
for Macbeth? Why? Write down your own thoughts
• Macbeth’s confused, not concentrating: “I am sick at heart when I behold” —what? the situation? his attendants
and the thanes who remain with him, who are apparently standing there, doing nothing? Seyton will stir things up!
But Macbeth also reflects, albeit indirectly, on the other servant’s news: this “push”, this advance by the rebel
forces and the English power, will cheer me ever or disseat me now. This is it. Either it’ll all be good, a positive
outcome, or else I’ll be dethroned.
• But then there’s this extraordinary swerve into clear-eyed, bleak, fatalistic self-reflection. “I have lived long
enough.” This is it (and, frankly, I find that I don’t care, much). “My way of life is fall’n into the sere, the yellow leaf.”
Middle age, decline, a withered, brittle dryness; something utterly desolate, like his land. A wasteland. “And that
which should accompany old age as honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have.” I’ve
messed up everything, lost everything—no one honours me, loves me, or properly obeys me, or at least not
willingly—and the direct echo of the marriage service, love, honour, and obey, suggests that he’s lost his wife, his
marriage too. I don’t deserve any of it. And he doesn’t have any friends either—well, he’s killed them, Banquo
chiefly, but presumably others too.
• Is Macbeth speaking directly to his companions in the scene, or is this properly soliloquy? Either is interesting in
performance: direct speech is more challenging, daring his silent attendants to confirm that yes, they curse him
under their breath, heartfelt; that they do him honour, praise and obey him only with their mouths, lip-service, in
mere words, rather than meaning what they say and do. It’s breath only, which the poor heart would fain deny, and
dare not. They’re only still there with him, telling him what he wants to hear rather than speaking up against his
tyranny, defying him, because they’re weak, and afraid.
