\nby Charles Baudelaire
\ntranslated by Keith Waldrop
\n
\n
\nChild, Sister, think how sweet to go out there and live together! To love at leisure, love and die in that land that resembles you! For me, damp suns in disturbed skies share mysterious charms with your treacherous eyes as they shine through tears.
\n There, there\u2019s only order, beauty: abundant, calm, voluptuous.
\n Gleaming furniture, polished by years passing, would ornament our bedroom; rarest flowers, their odors vaguely mixed with amber; rich ceilings; deep mirrors; an Oriental splendor\u2014everything there would address our souls, privately, in their sweet native tongue.
\n There, there\u2019s only order, beauty: abundant, calm, voluptuous.
\n See on these canals those sleeping boats whose mood is vagabond; it\u2019s to satisfy your least desire that they come from the world\u2019s end. \u2014Setting suns reclothe fields, the canals, the whole town, in hyacinth and gold; the world falling asleep in a warm light.
\n There, there\u2019s only order, beauty: abundant, calm, voluptuous.

\nThis poem can be interpreted as the description of the utopia that the narrator dreams of. As the title suggests, the narrator invites children and women (child and sister) to join him in a voyage to his peaceful utopia, creating a fantastic and imaginative air throughout the whole poem. The poem repeats the verse: \u201cThere, there\u2019s only order, beauty: abundant, calm, voluptuous\u201d to create rhyme and rhythm, making the poem resemble a song, especially a lullaby. Baudelaire, the narrator and the author of this poem, contemplates and glorifies beauty, calmness and voluptuousness by using abstract and beautiful expressions. Some of them are: \u201cdamp suns in disturbed skies share mysterious charms with your treacherous eyes as they shine through tears\u201d and \u201csuns reclothe fields (\u2026.) in hyacinth and gold\u201d. He views his utopia with warmth and adoration. This admiration towards a non-existing world was probably derived from his miserable life that was tortured by diseases and debts.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"39325816","dateCreated":"1305869565","smartDate":"May 19, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"joseph86","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/joseph86","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/davidgarethw-books-b.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/39325816"},"dateDigested":1531974075,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"wiki","description":"He clasps the crag with crooked hands;

\nThis poem is describing the behavior of an eagle. It shows the eagle how she moves hunts and lives. It states that is roams alone through the empty skies and it links itself to the blue skies. As he lives near the mountains and near the water, he stands on rocks and watches the earth form the mountains. The author of this poems divides the poem into two stanzas, each one made out of three verses, that all have the last word rhyming. The first stanza describes how the eagle behaves in a state of rest, the author does this by using words like lands, stands and claps. The second stanza on the contrary relates the words to the way the eagle moves. The author makes this possible by using verbs like crawls, watches and falls. This way he makes the word choice and verse structure to describe the eagle in its two main behaviours.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"39324836","dateCreated":"1305864927","smartDate":"May 19, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"jose_4595","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/jose_4595","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/davidgarethw-books-b.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/39324836"},"dateDigested":1531974075,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"jose rodriguez","description":"Jam

\nThe theme of this poem is love. The character is talking about the person he loves. He says that the love they mutually feel for each other is endless. The character says that their love goes from land to the ocean and from him to her and her to him again. He also uses a lot of adjectives to describe the mutual love between the characters. This poem doesn\u2019t have any rhyme, or a meter to count syllables; some lines have 3 syllables and others 6, and there isn\u2019t any rhyming. This poem is very short, it is short because the main character said that his love for the other person is endless and goes on forever, so he or she had to summarize what he feels into a short poem because if he or she put everything they felt it would be an endless poem.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"39324058","dateCreated":"1305862799","smartDate":"May 19, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"taeyang","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/taeyang","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1223342653\/taeyang-lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/davidgarethw-books-b.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/39324058"},"dateDigested":1531974076,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Brian","description":"The Definition of Love
\nby Andrew Marvell
\n
\n
\nMy Love is of a birth as rare
\nAs 'tis for object strange and high:
\nIt was begotten by Despair
\nUpon Impossibility.
\n
\nMagnanimous Despair alone
\nCould show me so divine a thing,
\nWhere feeble Hope could ne'er have flown
\nBut vainly flapped its Tinsel wing.
\n
\nAnd yet I quickly might arrive
\nWhere my extended soul is fixt,
\nBut Fate does iron wedges drive,
\nAnd always crowds itself betwixt.
\n
\nFor Fate with jealous eye does see
\nTwo perfect Loves; nor lets them close:
\nTheir union would her ruin be,
\nAnd her tyrannic power depose.
\n
\nAnd therefore her decrees of steel
\nUs as the distant Poles have placed,
\n(Though Love's whole World on us doth wheel)
\nNot by themselves to be embraced.
\n
\nUnless the giddy Heaven fall,
\nAnd Earth some new convulsion tear;
\nAnd, us to join, the World should all
\nBe cramped into a planisphere.
\n
\nAs lines so Loves oblique may well
\nThemselves in every angle greet:
\nBut ours so truly parallel,
\nThough infinite can never meet.
\n
\nTherefore the Love which us doth bind,
\nBut Fate so enviously debars,
\nIs the conjunction of the Mind,
\nAnd opposition of the Stars.
\n
\n
\nIn this poem there is no character only the narrator explains everything. And we can also say love is a "main character" more like main theme, because as we see in the topic "the definiton of the love" it is about love,and love is fully decripted in this poem, so we can understand more about love and some parts that explain love sound little bit different then what i thought the love was. And the meter in this poem is in 5~7 words for each sentece, and 6~7 syllabals for each line.
\nAnd this poem is in a story, and connected all the story at the beginning to the end.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"39294456","dateCreated":"1305827051","smartDate":"May 19, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"pprada","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/pprada","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1315457538\/pprada-lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/davidgarethw-books-b.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/39294456"},"dateDigested":1531974076,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Paula Prada","description":"Mermaid Song
\nby Kim Addonizio
\n
\nDamp-haired from the bath, you drape yourself
\nupside down across the sofa, reading,
\none hand idly sunk into a bowl
\nof crackers, goldfish with smiles stamped on.
\nI think they are growing gills, swimming
\nup the sweet air to reach you. Small girl,
\nmy slim miracle, they multiply.
\nIn the black hours when I lie sleepless,
\nnear drowning, dread-heavy, your face
\nis the bright lure I look for, love's hook
\npiercing me, hauling me cleanly up.
\n
\n
\nContext:
\nCharacters:
\n- The narrator
\n- The girl that reminds the narrator of a mermaid
\n
\nSetting:
\n- In a house
\n
\nPlot:
\n- The narrator is comparing a little girl to a beautiful mermaid.
\n
\nP.O.V:
\nThat the little girl is beautiful.
\n
\n
\nForm:
\n
\nWord Choice:
\n-He uses lots of descriptive, and suffocated language to describe the mermaid and the girl.
\n
\nMetaphors:
\nThe whole poem is a metaphor to the girl. When he is talking about the mermaid he is really talking about the girl. He compares the girl to the mermaid with metaphors such as
\n\u201cI think they are growing gills, swimming
\nup the sweet air to reach you.\u201d
\n
\nOr
\n
\n\u201cyour face
\nis the bright lure I look for, love's hook
\npiercing me, hauling me cleanly up.\u201d
\nThe form of the poem does apply to its context because the word choice helps the author describe the mermaid and the girl with very rich words in the sense that the words fit perfectly into the description and the story. Also, the metaphors are used to compare the girl to the mermaid. I do think that the form of the poem helps the create a more sophisticated and interesting context.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"39286216","dateCreated":"1305821087","smartDate":"May 19, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"SolSpier","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/SolSpier","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/davidgarethw-books-b.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/39286216"},"dateDigested":1531974076,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Happiness","description":"Happiness by Raymond Carver
\n
\nSo early it's still almost dark out.
\nI'm near the window with coffee,
\nand the usual early morning stuff
\nthat passes for thought.
\n
\nWhen I see the boy and his friend
\nwalking up the road
\nto deliver the newspaper.
\n
\nThey wear caps and sweaters,
\nand one boy has a bag over his shoulder.
\nThey are so happy
\nthey aren't saying anything, these boys.
\n
\nI think if they could, they would take
\neach other's arm.
\nIt's early in the morning,
\nand they are doing this thing together.
\n
\nThey come on, slowly.
\nThe sky is taking on light,
\nthough the moon still hangs pale over the water.
\n
\nSuch beauty that for a minute
\ndeath and ambition, even love,
\ndoesn't enter into this.
\n
\nHappiness. It comes on
\nunexpectedly. And goes beyond, really,
\nany early morning talk about it.
\n
\nThis poem is a description of happiness. The idea that happiness is real and unexpected is emphasized through the structure, vocabulary and scene of the poem. It starts out with a scene of two boys doing a simple chore, and this simplicity is enhanced by it's simple vocabulary and structure. "So early it's still almost dark out\/I'm near the window with coffee" Carver uses simple, concrete words, all put into simple verses; one idea per verse, with halting kind of rhythm. There is no complexity in his first couple of stanzas. Then, in the fourth stanza, the author starts revealing his thoughts. At this point, the poem starts evolving into something more beautiful and natural, using a flowing structure and abstract words. "beauty", "death", "ambition", "love," all of these words work together in their stanza to create musicality. It is not until the sky is light that he talks about happiness, showing the idea that happiness is something real. The last stanza, talking about happiness, is the one that has the most musicality, stressing the beauty of happiness. Not once in the poem does the author talk about having lots of money, or being loved by someone, on the contrary, he shows how the simplest things can give one happiness.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"39260908","dateCreated":"1305775889","smartDate":"May 18, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"pjoaristi321","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/pjoaristi321","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/davidgarethw-books-b.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/39260908"},"dateDigested":1531974076,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Paulina Joaristi","description":"This poem by Mark Jarman is a plain description of heaven and hell. It has two paragraphs that separate the celestial from the torture. Although the line that breaks the first paragraph from the second is seen as a form of punctuation it also transforms the way we caste our eyes over it and understand it. The poem is rich and dense with feelings that attach the reader to the written. For example the use of the word \u201clove\u201d is something that all readers can identify with and connect with a deep affection. \u201cThat love greets you\u201d. The author uses an indirect language to try to portray an image in our minds instead of just using a plain description of heaven and hell. Although the author moved towards abstract concepts like death, heaven, hell, and love he is able to convey a more touching outcome on the reader with the use of his technique. Not using rhythm makes it a more challenging poem to interpret and less predictable.
\n
\nThe wave breaks
\nAnd I'm carried into it.
\nThis is hell, I know,
\nYet my father laughs,
\nChest-deep, proving I'm wrong.
\nWe're safely rooted,
\nRocked on his toes.
\n
\nNothing irked him more
\nThan asking, "What is there
\nBeyond death?"
\nHis theory once was
\nThat love greets you,
\nAnd the loveless
\nDon't know what to say.

He says: \u201cThey should dance on the tables, they should dance inside of their drinks, they should dance on the ceiling,\u201d (Line 12-16) He also emphasizes that Latin Music isn\u2019t an elegant, classic, appropriate dance, but rather a free, improvised, and spontaneous dance.

Victor describes the Latin culture, dancing, movement, and music in this poem.
\nHe also uses scatters the words all around to emphasize the steps of the dancers. They are not in order because the Latin culture and soul isn\u2019t organized and perfect, but rather loose and liberal. He uses alliteration with the word \u201cdance\u201d and uses reiteration with the words \u201cbeyond and away\u201d. Both of these constructive figures are used to highlight the Latin rhythm. The poem doesn\u2019t have a determined structure because that\u2019s what the Latin Soul is all about!

\nby Elizabeth Barrett Browning
\n
\nHow do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
\nI love thee to the depth and breadth and height
\nMy soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
\nFor the ends of being and ideal grace.
\nI love thee to the level of every day's
\nMost quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
\nI love thee freely, as men strive for right.
\nI love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
\nI love thee with the passion put to use
\nIn my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
\nI love thee with a love I seemed to lose
\nWith my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
\nSmiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
\nI shall but love thee better after death.
\n
\n -This poem is about a women that has a lot of love for her fiance.Her love towards him is extremely passionate, we can see this in the poem when she describes how spiritual their love has become.She describes how she loves him freely,purely, and doesn\u2019t expect to gain something back.She even tells us she will love him even after his death.Some of the things that the content of a poem are made up of, are; story,theme,characters,and descriptions.The form is made up of word choice,figures of speech,rhyme and the shape of the poem.The form of the poem is reflected in the content of this poem in several ways.The main theme of this poem is intense love, and the way that the character describes her love towards his fiance shows this.The poem isn\u2019t written in a direct way, meaning the phrases and type of words she uses to describe her love are left for the reader to analyze the meaning to it.For example when the author wrote \u201clove thee better after death\u201d, we can infer that she is trying to say that their love is eternal, is never going to end.This poem is written in the point of view of the author and it makes i clear that this is the love a women has towards this special someone. The repetition of the poem not only gives it rhythm but it also reinforces the theme, never letting us forget of who she is talking about. Browning the author uses alliteration throughout the whole poem with very descriptive and intense words related to her intense love.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"39240350","body":"Alright Nicole,

\nWhite Apples
\nby Donald Hall
\n
\nwhen my father had been dead a week

\n The form of the poem does aptly reflect its content. Form is the way a piece of writing is constructed. It is the basic structure, composed of things such as word choice, rhyme, meter, punctuation, and musicality. Content refers to what is being talked about. Such as the story, the theme found, characters, setting, and narrator. The poem \u201cWhite Apples\u201d by Donald Hall is about a boy who lost his father, and has been dreaming ever since he died. He woke up by the voice of his father and found himself feeling empty \u201ctasting the stone\u201d. He remarks that if he hears his father again he will leave. This because he can\u2019t bear the pain. In\u201dWhite Apples\u201d it is seen that the form of the poem does aptly reflect its content. For instance, the theme present in this poem is fear and grief. The form represents this by the way the poem is written, short and to the point. The structure of the poem represents the dryness and blankness of the character. By dividing it into small paragraphs leaving \u201cwhite apples and the taste of stone\u201d on its own makes the poem irregular and dull. The phrase being emphasized and singled out gives it importance. The simplicity of the writing shows the emotions of the character allowing the reader to understand the reader and his point of view. Even though the emotions of the character are dreary and bare a better understanding is perceived from the poem. By the way the poem is formed a better perceptive is acquired by the reader.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"39169654","body":"Hi Bianca...

By dividing it into small paragraphs leaving \u201cwhite apples and the taste of stone\u201d on its own makes the poem irregular and dull." That's good... I would like you to elaborate in the same way then on how the theme of fear and grief is reflected in the form. It seems a bit short.
\n3) I also don't quite understand this: "Even though the emotions of the character are dreary and bare a better understanding is perceived from the poem."

\nThanks,

\n2) For instance, the theme present in this poem is fear and grief. We see this by the way the boy in the poem speaks. He uses no punctuation, but manages to make the poem jerky. The emotion of fear and grief is perceived by the simplicity of the language and word choice. He just states the way he is feeling, how he is not able to get over the death of his father. \u201cIf he called again I would put on my coat and galoshes\u201d. He does not state directly that he fears his fathers\u2019 death but by the way it is written it leaves the reader space for interpretation.
