Examples are given from poems like "London" by William Blake and "Lochinvar" by Walter Scott to illustrate different meters. Rhythm and meter are key to achieving the musical quality of poetry.
A character
1) The poem describes a man with many contradictory traits - thought and no thought, paleness and bloom, pleasure and gloom, weakness and strength.
2) Though he has virtue, he seems to lack something to truly be worthy of the name.
3) The narrator marvels that nature could combine so many strange contrasts in one human face, and would gladly be such an odd yet kind creature for five centuries.
Wilfred Owen
The poem describes the horrors of a gas attack on British soldiers during World War I. It depicts men struggling through mud and stumbling as they try to put on gas masks in time. One soldier is seen drowning in a vision, choking and gurgling. The poem aims to show children that stories of glory in war are a lie, and there is nothing sweet about dying for your country.
