William Ellis was born in Salford, Greater Manchester in the United Kingdom. He was born on August 24,1794. He was born to two hard working parents. William was a missionary in Hawaii and he was also a famous writer. He made a big impact on the people he was a missionary to and has many well-known books that have been published. His books are about his life as a missionary and his wife. I picked him because all of the places he visited were interesting to me. They were interesting because I like traveling.…
He began writing poems in the 1840’s. For example, he wrote the poem: Prayer, The Moon, Smoke, [conscience], Low Anchored Cloud, [Mist] etc.…
The timeless essence and the ambivalence in Yeats’ poems urge the reader’s response to relevant themes in society today. This enduring power of Yeats’ poetry, influenced by the Mystic and pagan influences is embedded within the textual integrity drawn from poetic techniques and structure when discussing relevant contextual concerns.…
Literature: William Butler YeatsIn the literary world, among the 20th century giants is William Butler Yeats. An Irish-born dramatist, poet and prose writer, Yeats is regarded as one of the towering giants of English-language writing for the century. Yeats, who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923, was one of those responsible for the famed Irish Literary Renaissance movement (Hallstrom). One of Yeats ' greatest works is The Land of Heart 's Desire, a magical fairy poetry that is…
Yeats presents the Romantic in ‘September 1913’ in such a way that it is no longer there, but also that there is a chance for the Romantic to be saved and brought back to Ireland. “Yeats saw literature and politics as intertwined,” Yeats used ‘September 1913’ as a political, as well as cultural, message to get across his views on the state of Ireland and its culture. ‘September 1931’ cane be said to be a response to mercenary employers who locker their workers out in the General Strike of 1913. It could also refer to the refusal of commercial interests to support Yeats’ appeal for money to build an art gallery to house the Lane Collection.…
William Blake was an artist, poet, and engraver born on November 28th, 1757 in London, England. Blake grew up in England and began writing poems at a very young age. The romantic era of which he grew up in affected his poems dramatically along with some tragic events that occurred in his life.…
Yeats himself said "Poetry is no rootless flower, but the speech of man" and this concept is reflected deeply in his poetic works as he expresses concerns and ideas of close regard to himself and makes them memorable to the reader through his linguistic craftsmanship and mastery of poetic techniques. The Wild Swans At Coole (hereafter WS) examines the theme of intimate change and personal yearning, whilst The Second Coming (hereafter SC) examines change in context with cultural dissolution and fear. It is because Yeats' poetry is so deeply grounded in his own human feelings and is such an artful expression of those emotions that the ideas he presents in these poems resonate with the reader long after the piece has been read.…
William Carlos Williams was born on September 17, 1883 in Rutherford, New Jersey. He was a poet, novelist and a doctor, and worked hard throughout his life. He was one of the principal poets of the Imagist movement. He had his own techniques and I just finished reading "Spring and All" by William Carlos Williams. I realized that Williams also used dashes in his poems just like Emily Dickinson used in her poetry. I also liked how Williams used contrasts between winter and spring, sickness and health and death and birth.…
John Keats, born 1975, was a man who accomplished a lot in his lifetime however his poetic achievements were never truly appreciate until the nineteenth century, way after his death. Today Keats is regarded as one of the greatest English poets, even though most people only have a partial understanding of his work.…
There can be no doubt that the response of the British government to the Rising contributed measurably to the further alienation of Irish public opinion. On 26th April 1916, it had introduced martial law and next day appointed Major-General Sir John Maxwell as Commander-in-Chief of troops, Ireland. He had full authority to restore order, put down the rebellion, and punished its participants. Maxwell never doubted that its leaders should be court-martialled and those most prominent executed.…
Easter is one of the most important Christian festivals which is observed in March or April. On this day the Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus after his death by crucifixion which is believed to have happened during this time around 30-33 A.D.…
John Keats lived only twenty-five years and four months (1795-1821), yet his poetic achievement is extraordinary. His writing career lasted a little more than five years (1814-1820), and three of his great odes--"Ode to a Nightingale," "Ode on a Grecian Urn," and "Ode on Melancholy"--were written in one month. Most of his major poems were written between his twenty-third and twenty-fourth years, and all his poems were written by his twenty-fifth year. In this brief period, he produced poems that rank him as one of the great English poets. He also wrote letters which T.S. Eliot calls "the most notable and the most important ever written by any English poet."…
As a child I looked forward to celebrating Easter Sunday each year. The smell of vinegar filled the air as I sat patiently waiting for my grandmother to finish boiling a dozen of the eggs we saved for breakfast. My grandmother was a fairly plump woman in her late fifties. She has curly black hair with streaks of gray that mostly ran along the sides of her head. She was strenuously preparing a Sunday dinner for us to share with our church later that evening. Since I was nine, it was my job to make sure all the Easter eggs were decorated and placed neatly in a straw basket. I loved this job because by the time I was done my hands were different colors and I managed to cover myself from head to toe with all different kinds of stickers. I reached in my grandmothers’ pile of hard boiled eggs and begun to splash them one by one into a pool of color hoping each one would come out nice and bright. When I got down to my last three eggs I splashed them too hard and the pools of color reached out and tapped the walls leaving behind red, yellow, and blue marks. My grandmother turned around, shook her head, and passed me a soapy kitchen towel. I wiped off the walls but I let the color stay on my hands so later on I could show my cousin what a true artist does before church on an Easter Sunday.…
