In English class, we have been reading romantic poetry. Thus far, I have enjoyed it very much. Here are some of my favorite text references, put to images:
"When we two parted/In silence and tears,/Half broken-hearted/To severe for years" (Byron 1-4).
This text reference, from "When We Two Parted", displays one thing: Heartbreak and sorrow.
"By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:/I love not man the less, but Nature more" (Gordon 4-5).
This text reference, from "Apostrophe to the Ocean", shows how man has no control over the ocean, and that the ocean will keep on roaring.
"And I have loved thee, Ocean! and my joy/Of youthful sports was on thy breast to be" (Gordon 55-56).
This text reference, from "Apostrophe to the Ocean", shows the love a man has had for the ocean since childhood.
"With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run;/To bend with apples the mossed cottage-trees" (Keats 4-5).
This text reference, from "To Autumn", shows how the living fruits and plants die when the Autumn comes.
"And still more, later flowers for the bees?Until they think warm days will never cease" (Keats 9-10).
"What the anvil? what dread grasp?/Dare its deadly terrors clasp?" (Blake 15-16)
