In the poem "Music I Heard", written by Conrad Aiken, the love expressed is different. The character of the poem is a man, that is speaking about his loved one. Full of memories, he has flashbacks of when the loved one was around him and his belongings. After the loved person left, he is lonely. The memories are coming back to him in the quote (line #5), " Your hands one touched this table and this silver". He misses her and the good times they had together. He wants to have her come back to him. She is now only in his heart full of past memories.\n\nThe feeling that love brings in this poem is sadness. The sadness of missing the loved one is great. He is lonely and full of memories that still light up his hopes for having her come back. He remembers her actions and what she touched, but only the memories are left. The sadness is expressed in this quote (line # 3-4) by the character. "Now that I am without you all is desolate;/ and all that was once so beautiful is dead." He misses her a lot, and does not like things that much as he did when she was around.

As poet Edwin Markham approached his retirement years, he discovered that the man to whom he had entrusted his financial portfolio had squandered all the money. Markham's dream of a comfortable retirement vanished. He began to brood over the injustice and the loss. His anger deepened. Over time, Markham's bitterness grew by leaps and bounds. One day while sitting at his table, Markham found himself drawing circles as he tried to soothe the turmoil he felt within. Finally, he concluded: "I must forgive him, and I will forgive him." Looking again at the circles he had drawn on the paper before him, Markham wrote these lines:\n\nHe drew a circle to shut me out, Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout; \nBut love and I had the wit to win, \nWe drew a circle to take him in. \n\nAlthough Markham wrote hundreds of poems contained in many book volumes, the words he wrote while forgiving are his most popular and memorable. As he forgave, a tremendous act of creativity was released within Markham. The poets and mystics among us have long known and declared that the act of forgiveness releases great healing power. \n\nAuthor and minister Charles Fillmore recommended forgiveness as the most effective way of restoring inner harmony and balance: "There is a mental treatment guaranteed to cure every ill that flesh is heir to: Sit for half an hour every night and forgive everyone against whom you have any ill will or antipathy," he wrote.\n\nWhile forgiveness has always been an important concept in religion and ethics, only recently have psychologists begun to discover its powers as a psychotherapeutic tool. In three separate studies, people who had not resolved the wrongs done to them - college students, elderly women, and incest survivors - all improved when therapists helped them learn to forgive. Although an increasing number of counselors recommend that we forgive those who have hurt us, many people find forgiveness difficult to offer. Here are 10 guidelines to help extend forgiveness and ease resentment.\n\n1. Educate yourself about forgiveness.  "Forgive," according to Webster's New World Dictionary, means: "to give up resentment against or the desire to punish; pardon; to overlook an offense; to cancel a debt." Thus, the goal of forgiveness is to let go of a hurt and move ahead with life. Visit a library and research books or magazine articles on forgiveness so that you understand the difference between healthy and unhealthy forgiveness. For example, Robert Enright, Ph.D., an education psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, stresses that true forgiveness is not:\n\nForgetting. If the hurt wounded you enough to require forgiveness, you may always have a memory of it. \nExcusing or condoning. The wrong should not be denied, minimized, or justified. \nReconciling. You can forgive the offender and still choose not to reestablish the relationship. \nWeakness. You do not become a doormat or oblivious to cruelty. \n2. Spend a few minutes each day cleaning out your thinking.   At a local florist shop I once watched the owner remove tiny bugs from a potted plant. Using a cotton swab he meticulously plucked off one small tenaciously clinging offender after another. Although that tedious process took him several hours of silent concentration and steady work, he was able to rid the plant of what would ultimately stunt its growth and ruin its loveliness. There is a lesson from that florist which applies to daily living. The only way to keep ourselves free from the infestation of troublesome thoughts is to spend a few minutes each day cleaning out our thinking.\n\nHas someone hurt you by his or her comments? Were you publicly insulted by someone? Did a friend fail to come through for you? Pluck off each offending layer of thought and dispose of it just as the florist disposed of the tiny insects destroying his lovely plant. Doing so insures that a vague irritation does not transform itself

A number of poems contain the word impiety and deal with nature and God.  Among them:\n\nJohn Donne's "Holy Sonnet XI" ( http://www.netpoets.com/classic/poems/022034.htm )\n\nShakespeare's "Sonnet 067: Ah, Wherefore With Infection Should He Live" ( http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/433 )\n\nPope's (rather long) "Essay on Man" ( http://www.theotherpages.org/poems/pope-e1.html )\n\nWigglesworth "A Prayer Unto Christ the Judge of the World" (from Day of Doom) ( http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/subjects/eaw/poems/wiggtext.htm )\n\nI would direct you to Wigglesworth first, as it sounds like it may be closest to what you're looking for.

My only other advice would be to get to a bookstore in your area if there is one and you might find it there.  Best of luck with it.

Robin_Thor has a good understanding about this literary giant and this is to let him know that we appreciate a good effort. \nWell itsamystery, hopefully you are rested up from your Spring Break because if this is an assignment that needs to be turned in I am afraid that you have some work to do.\nIn gratitude to you for your question I will answer you with 'my start' into this work which if not for your question I would still be outside on the patio.  \n\nHere goes a swell beginning:\n\n.\n\nWhy, Death Be Not Proud\nIn “Death Be Not Proud” the protagonist literary presenters are chosen teenagers for the reasons that the importance of this poem is to have a definite and positive impact on younger students and young adults alike across the world.  For it serves as guide for the confrontatious attitudes necessary in the face of, emotional, physical and spiritual adversity.  To forge a better social function among us that will inevitably present to our younger generations. These are all here and within this poem and which all support the theme of this magnificent writing.  In  “Death Be Not Proud” is found a generational social cohesiveness that is necessary for a functional society’s survival, and which is so well prayed by John Gunther’s 1947 memoirs.  \nIt is a penned offering intellectually and emotionally secured as a memoir to his son whose ultimate youthful death by a brain tumor at the age of seventeen is eminent. Gunther draws from his heart and from John Dunne’s 17th century “The Holy Sonnets: X” in producing this writing.  It is a poem, in which Gunther argues that ‘death should take no pride in what it does, as it is ultimately powerless to prevent the resurrection of all humanity.’ It can be presented at a literary discourse for educational purpose or as a play on a stage.  \n“Death be not proud, though some have called thee / mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so,\nFor those whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow,\nDie not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.\nFrom rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,\nMuch pleasure:  then from thee much more must flow,\nAnd soonest our best men with thee do go,\nRest of their bones, and soul’s delivery.\nThou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,\nAnd dost with poison, war and sickness dwell;\nAnd Poppy or charms can make us sleep as well\nAnd better than thy stroke; why swell’st thou then? \nOne short sleep past, we wake eternally,\nAnd death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.     John Donne\nIt is a versified oratory free-verse poem with melodic tone, chant, and supple plea/defiant texture composed about young Johnny Gunther.  About his attitudes and strife for living in the face of a natural and inevitable defeat.  It is the presentation of the life of Johnny’s family and their recourse to every medical possibility known at the time, taken from an elegy of a long time past, converted from a poem of love and not a poem of mourning. And even unto an eternal spiritual search for the healing of the body, of the mind, and of the spirit of their son by John Gunther and his wife.  About their tessellated forms draught from their experiential abilities within such frames of human suffrage.  In explicit honesty are laid bare the pains and struggles of a family trying to delay the ultimate inevitable end for a son that is as brilliant as Johnny.  From the radical surgeries to strictly controlled diets in endless effort to save his life by a determined harmonious familial union in the face of adversarial reality as they live on for life’s sake. All while in defiance of any honor attributable by mere mortals to death’s demands. \n\nhttp://www.cs.rice.edu/ ssiyer/minstrels/poems/796.html  \n\n\nJose

From the Halls of Montezuma\nTo the Shores of Tripoli;\nWe fight our country's battles\nIn the air, on land and sea;\nFirst to fight for right and freedom\nAnd to keep our honor clean;\nWe are proud to claim the title\nof United States Marine.\n\nOur flag's unfurled to every breeze\nFrom dawn to setting sun;\nWe have fought in ev'ry clime and place\nWhere we could take a gun;\nIn the snow of far-off Northern lands\nAnd in sunny tropic scenes;\nYou will find us always on the job--\nThe United States Marines.\n\nHere's health to you and to our Corps\nWhich we are proud to serve\nIn many a strife we've fought for life\nAnd never lost our nerve;\nIf the Army and the Navy\nEver look on Heaven's scenes;\nThey will find the streets are guarded\nBy United States Marines.\n\n\n"This Is My Rifle"\nThe Creed of a US Marine\n\nThis is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.\n\nMy rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.\n\nMy rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I WILL...\n\nMy rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. WE WILL HIT...\n\nMy rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. WE WILL...\n\nBefore God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. WE ARE THE SAVIORS OF MY LIFE.

Are you referring to Frederick Douglass?\n\nIf so, this is a very stirring poem about a champion of the Ethiopian People.  The poem laments his death, praises his victories, and promises to continue to strive towards that which Douglass held so dear - freedom, honesty and a right life.\n\nAlthough I had never heard of Douglass before this poem, I believe he was a great man who stood for the poor and the weak and tried to make a better place for them, standing up to injustice and unfairness.

It's pretty hard to compare and contrast anything if you haven't read it, so I would suggest you read Midsummer Night's Dream, and get quotes that have something to do with your argument, instead of just soliciting any old quotes.

*conflict- many instances of conflicts in this play. Montagues vs. capulets, mercutio vs. tybalt, romeo vs. paris and many more!!!!!\n     *climax- the point of the story where everything is exciting, everything is glorious, great, or magnificent! everything goes downhill from there. i think theclimax is either in the balcony scene or the party.\n     *falling action- secret wedding and after.\n     *resolution- either romeo and juliet's death, romeo's banishment, when romeo buys the poison (?), or when Juliet makes plans with friar lawerence (?)\n     *i know this isn't muc, but it's a starting point!!!!! my class just finished the romeo and juliet unit, so this stuff is fresh in my mind. i'm REALLY sry that i can't figure out the resolution, but if you've read the play thru, you should be able to choose one of these answers!!!!! good luck with your project and grades!!!!!

a poem about life --- from birth to death...\n\nbut when i read it it sounded much like a song...probably because of the repetitive lines that appear at the end of each verse... honestly I understand the verses except the lines about his ways/ his days... and I don't understand why those two lines need to be repeated so much and then it's not even the title.. sorry\n\noh I think "With desperate fire, his gray will sets to blaze" should be "With desperate fire, his gray will set to blaze"\n\ncontinue writing...much luck!

This is a totally uncharacteristic example of Kipling's work - it is imbued with a delicate wistfulness and a misty twilit atmosphere very much at variance with the drive and energy of such better known poems as 'East and West', 'If' or 'Danny Deever'. It is nonetheless a lovely piece. The poet uses heavy description about all the other objects in the story, that it makes the road even more mysterious.\nIt is also pointing to a depression he must have been in when he wrote it. Also the structure is unique, in that the first 12 lines are consistent with each ither as are the next 12 lines and the 25th line is completely different in that it disperses the gloom and eerieness and gives a firmly embedded sense of reality. It is also a poem which talks about change.\n\nA copy of the poem is available at the first site.\nA biography of the poet and also almost all his works are available at the second site.\nGo to the third site to see almost twenty opinions about the poem. Some of them are really very insightful.
