القصيدة الأولى

The Eagle

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls:
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

الشرح

The Eagle

This poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson is divided into two stanzas with three lines each. The rhyme scheme is AAA BBB.

The meaning of words:





Clasp:to hold someone or something tightly in your hands or arms.


Crag: a steep, rough rock on a hill or mountain.


Crooked: 1) not straight or even.


2) Not honest.


Azure:blue.


Wrinkled: a small line in sth, often one on the skin of your face which you get as you grow older.


Beneath:in, at or to a lower position.


Thunderbolt: a flash of lightning that hits something.


Falls: waterfall.

Paraphrasing:




He clasps the crag with crooked hands




The pronoun (He) refers to the eagle. It is personification. We have also personification in the word (hand). It is a human quality by giving him a hand. "'Crooked hands" emphasize that the man is an older man. The poet describes the eagle as an old man who holds the crag with not straight hands. The imagery of touching is (clasps, hands). This imagery shows image of power and stability.




Close to the sun in lonely lands




He (the eagle) lives in a very high place close to the sun (hyperbole) and he does not need anyone while the land lonely without him. The poet tries to emphasize how high the places that the eagle lives in. "lonely lands" emphasize the ability of the eagle to live a lone by him. "Close to the sun" is imagery of sight.




Ringed with the azure world, he stands





He like a king, he ware a ring around him. (Ringed) emphasize how high the eagle is and how powerful he is. "Ringed with the azure world" is more general metaphor where the sky is being compared to a blue (azure) world that surrounds the eagle. (Azure) is imagery of sight.




The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls




All those waves we are scared of, to him it is only lines and their movement is very slow. (Crawls) is a personification, giving the human quality of crawling. "Wrinkled sea" symbolize that the man is an older man and here there are figure of speech and imagery of hearing, sight, smelling, and tasting the salt from the sea.




He watches from his mountain walls




The mountain themselves ices his home and he is standing on the mountain watching because of his sharp sight. "Mountain walls" is imagery of sight.




And like a thunderbolt he falls

This verse emphasize his speed and power and we have a simile here because the word (like). It is comparison between the eagle and the thunderbolt in speed and power. "Like a thunderbolt he falls" is imagery of sight and hearing.

Theme: (freedom)

The bird soaring in the sky has always been used as an example of freedom from the bonds of gravity, which anchors plants, people, and most animals to the earth. The eagle in this poem is pictured “close to the sun”—another symbol of highflying freedom that is not controlled by the limitations of the earth’s atmosphere. This area of the sky, just inside of and barely contained by the “azure world” of outer space, is what is meant by “lonely lands.” Loneliness implies detachment or a lack of responsibility to any other thing.

القصيدة الثانية

Winter

[SIZE=medium]

When icicles hang by the wall
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail
And Tom bears logs into the hall
And milk comes frozen home in pail,
When blood is nipp'd and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

When all aloud the wind doth blow
And coughing drowns the parson's saw
And birds sit brooding in the snow
And Marian's nose looks red and raw,
When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

"Tu-with.tu-who"

This is the song that the owl is singing every night. It is a scary sound and not nice. Here we have hearing image.


A merry note


He found the song is very happy. There is an irony (figure of speech) in this line because the sound of the owl is very ugly and scary but he found it happy because it is the only sound he could hear at night in the winter. The image is hearing.

In the time that dirty Joan is keeling the pot, this is a pleasant image for John who is preparing the warm food in a cold winter. In other hand, Joan looks dirty because cleaning clothes is a very hard work in winter. We have here visual image. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

Theme:

Poetry should not just deals exclusively with beauty like sunset, flowers, or love. The function of poetry is sometimes to be ugly rather than beautiful, and poetry may deal with common goals and grassy cooks as good as with sunset and flowers.

The poem contains no moral, no lessons, no messages like some readers wants.

The main theme in this poem is about the tough and extremely cold winter. It is descriptive poem for conditions that people went through in the cold winter in that time.

SPRING
By William Shakespeare
WHEN daises pied, and violets blue,
And lady-smocks all silver-white,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men, for thus sings he:
'Cuckoo! Cuckoo, cuckoo!' O word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear.
When shepherds pipe on oaten straws,
And merry larks are ploughmen's clocks,
When turtles tread, and rooks, and daws,
And maidens bleach their summer smocks,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men, for thus sings he:
'Cuckoo! Cuckoo, cuckoo!' O word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear.

Irony:

On line eight (O word of fear) there is an irony in this line because the poet uses the word (fear) even if it is not a fear feelings it is joking and having fun.

Figure of speech:

1) The poet uses personification in the first four lines when he said that the daises, the violet, and the lady-smocks are painting the fields as if they are humans who can paint.

2) There is a synecdoche in line four when the poet replaces the color with the feeling of delight.

3) There is a metonymy in line nine when the poet uses the word married ear but in the fact he means the married men.

Theme:

The poet is very optimistic in this poem. Spring is a symbol for the beginning of new live, it is like that every thing is reborn. Spring is the opposite of winter, it is warm and delightful. Every one and every creature is happy in the spring.

القصيدة الرابعة

A Study of Reading Habits

When getting my nose in a book
Cured most things short of school,
It was worth ruining my eyes
To know I could still keep cool,
And deal out the old right hook
To dirty dogs twice my size.

Later, with inch-thick specs,
Evil was just my lark:
Me and my coat and fangs
Had ripping times in the dark.
The women I clubbed with sex!
I broke them up like meringues.

Don't read much now: the dude
Who lets the girl down before
The hero arrives, the chap
Who's yellow and keeps the store
Seem far too familiar. Get stewed:
Books are a load of crap.

Philip Larkin
