Ozymandias
By Percy Bysshe Shelley
I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said:
Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the
desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a
shattered visafe lies, whose frown
And wrinkled
lip, and sneer of cold commandu,
Tell that
its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet
survive, stamped on these lifeless
Things, The
hand that mocked them, and the
Heart that
fed; And on the pedestal these words
Appear:
“My name is
Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look upon my
works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing
beside remains. Round the decay
Of that
colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and
level sands stretch far away.
Analysis of the poem:
“Ozymandias”
is a masterful sonnet which is essentially devoted to a single metaphor: the
shattered, ruined statue in the desert wasteland, with its arrogant, passionate
face. The once-great king’s proud boast has been ironically disproved;
Ozymandias’s works have crumbled and destructive power of history. The ruined
statue is now merely a monument to one man’s hubris, and is first and foremost
a metaphor for the temporary nature of political power, and in that sense the
poem is Shelley’s most outstanding political sonnet, but Ozymandias symbolizes
not only political power- the statue can be a metaphor for the pride and hubris
of all of humanity, in any of its manifestations, It is significant that all
that remains of Ozymandias is a work of art and a group of words; as
Shakespeare does in the sonnets, Shelley demonstrates that art and language
long outlast the other legacies of power.
Ans: The poem reveals the transitoriness
of power and destruction of pride. It shows that although man boasts of power,
nothing lasts forever and everything is bound to decay and destroy with the
passage of time.
Sollitary Reaper
By William Wordsworth
Behold her,
single in the field
You solitary
High land lasss!
Reaping and
singing by herself
Stop her or
gently pass!
Alone she
cuts and binds the grains,
And sings a
melancholy strain
O listen!
For the value profound
Is
overwhelming with the sound
No
nightingale did ever chant
More welcome
notes to weary bands
Of travelers
I some shady haunt,
Among
Arabian sands.
Summary:
The solitary reaper is William wordsworth’s
explanation of the delight that a simple peasant girl derives from Nature and
how the entire atmosphere reverberates with that happiness. The poet sees a
highland girl reaping the harvest and singing. The poet compares her song with
the song of a Nightingale, soothing his sorrows, easing his weariness; Just the
same way as the nightingale welcomes the weary travelers in the shady oasing of
the Arabian sands. The Maiden’s song is also compared to the song of the cuckoo
bird which is the harbinger of summer and ushers in Happiness. The song of the
maiden is as thrilling and Persuasive as the song of the cuckoo bird which is
Effective enough to break the silence of the seas. The poet cannot understand
the dialect of the song, he is unable to comprehend its meaning, but is able to
gauge from its sad tone that it probably relates to some unhappy memory, some
battles fought long ago. The poet also feels that the song may be about the
commonplace things like joys or sorrows. The poet feels that the girl’s song
would have not end and would container forever. The poet saw the girl singing as
she bent over her sickle. The song of the maiden was so mesmerizing and
spellbinding that it held the poet motionless and still. When the poet started
mounting the hill, the song could not be heard but it left an indelible mark on
the poet’s heart. For the poet, it would always remain a fresh evocative
memory. The poem also shows how the appeal of music is universal.
Ans: The poem is about the poet’s
fascination for a village girl. The girl was reaping crops and singing a song
alone in a field. The poet was captivated by the music of the girl’s melancholy
song. It seems to him that the song of the girl was sweeter than that of the
nightingale which sings to the ears of the tried travelers in the Arabian
desert.
Tree at my Window
By Robert Frost
Tree at my
window, window tree,
My sash is
lowered when night comes on;
But let
there never be curtain drawn
Between you
and me.
Vague dream
head lifted out of the ground,
And thing
next most diffuse to cloud,
Not all your
light tongues talking aloud
Could be
profound.
But tree, I
have seen you taken and tossed,
And if you
have seen me when I slept,
You have
seen me then I was taken and swept
And all but
lost.
That day she
put our heads together,
Fate had her
imagination about her,
Your head so
much concerned with outer,
Mine with
inner, weather.
Ans: The nature-loving poet doesn’t want
separation with the tree at his window. At night when window sash is lowered
and the tree is screened from his view, he sees the shadow outline of the tree
with his mind’s eye. Both the poet and the tree are destined to fate. Man has
inner conflict whereas tree has outer conflict for rough weather like cold air.
The cause behind man’s inner conflict may be his torturing thoughts.
To Daffodils
By Robert Herrick
Fair daffodils,
we weep to see
You haste
away so soon;
As yet the
early-rising sun
Has not
attain’d his noon.
Stay, stay
Until the
hasting day
Has run
But to the
even song;
And, having
pray’d together, we
Will go with
you along.
We have
short time to stay, as you.
We have as
short a spring;
As quick a
growth to meet decay.
As you, or
any thing.
We die ,
As your
hours do, and dry
Away
Like to the
summer’s rain;
Or as the
pearls of mornings dew,
Ne’er to be
found again.
Analysis of the poem:
The theme of
this poem is based on the healing and refreshing power of nature. How easy it
is for nature to lift the spirit and the morale of a man is also depicted in
this poem. The poem is rich in imagery and the description of the daffodils is
delightful. The poet starts the poem with a simle and compares himself with the
cloud wandering lonely, here and there, free from duty and responsibility.
However, as soon as he sees the beautiful golden daffodils growing along the
margin of a bay beneath the rees, dancing and fluttering with the light breeze,
he finds himself captivated by their magical beauty. The poet is also impressed
by the beauty of the near-by lake whose waves are also dancing and sparkling,
thus looking enchanting. The poet begins to admire the mesmeric beauty of the
daffodils and is unable to think of anything else. In fact, at that time he
could not think of the great importance of the scene for him, but later while
lying on his couch, he realizes the great importance of the scene.
The last
stanza of the poem is the most important part of the poem and is the essence of
the poem. In this stanza, the poet speaks about the healing and refreshing
effect of nature and also praises solitude.
Ans:Man is short lived like daffodil, a
flower. Life span of daffodil, which blooms early morning and withers away
before sunset, is as short as man’s life.The transience of daffodils and men is
similar to summer’s rain and morning’s dew drops. In fact, nothing is perennial
in the world.
Under the Greenwood
Tree
By William Shakespeare
Under the
greenwood tree
Who loves to
lie with me
And turn his
merry note
Unto the
sweet bird’s throat,
Come
hither,come hither, come hither:
Here shall
he see
No enemy
But winter
and rough weather.
Who doth
ambition shun,
And loves to
live I’ the sun,
Seeking the
food he eats,
And pleased
with what he gets,
Come hither,
come hither, come hither;
Here shall
he see
No enemy
But winter
and rough weather.
Analysis of the poem:
1. Amiens invites his listeners to the
pleasant life of the forest. The trees are green in spring and summer. The
birds sing sweet songs. Those, who are fond of this kind of life and love to
sing with the birds, may come and live in the forest. Of course, they will have
to face some hardship. When the cold weather sets in stormy winds blow, but
there will be no human enemies to torture them.
2. Amiens invites his listeners to the
pleasant life of the forest, whoever keeps himself away from worldly ambitions
and loves free life in the open air, will find happiness in the woods. Of course,
he will have to hunt his own food and be satisfied with what he gets. He will
also have to face some hardships. When the cold weather sets in, stormy winds
blow, but there will, certainly, be no human enemies to torture them.
Ans: Woodland is peaceful because there
are no enemies here except winter and rough weather. But social life is
unpleasant and disquiet because love and friendship here among men are unreal
and fickle. So men without ambition are safe under the greenwood tree if they
are pleased with what they get there. Serene and tranquil environment of the
woodland makes our ming fresh and pure as melodious songs of birds here enchant
us.
The Lake Isle of
Innisfree
By W.B. Yeats
I will arise
and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small
cabin build there, of clay and
Wattles
made;
Nine bean
rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee
And live
alone in the bee loud glade.
I shall have
some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow
Dropping
from the veils of the morning to
Where the cricket
sings;
There
midnight’s all glimmer, and noon a
Purple glow,
And evening
full of the linnet’s wings.
I will arise
and go now, for always night and day
Ans:The poet loves nature and glorifies
the sublimity of nature as nature presents a tranquil, carefree and
tension-free life. He also disdains city life as city life is full of
disadvantages life selfishness, conflict, etc.So he wants to go to a lovely
island and live a life with natural environment.
September 1, 1939
Unit-12,Lesson-1(B)
I sit on one
of the dives
On
fifty-second street
Uncertain
and afraid
As the
clever hopes expire.
Of a low
dishonest decade:
Waves of
anger and fear
Circulate
over the bright
And darkened
lands of the earth,
Obsessing
our private lives ;
The
unmentionable odour of death
Offends the
September night.
Ans: The poet is worshipper of love and Pease
as he hates war. He hopes for harmony everywhere in the world. At the news of
imminent war his soul is tormented. He dreams a bad dream of uncertainty,
fear,anger,private lives obsessed all over the world before the very outset of
unexpected war of 1 september 1939.
I wandered lonely as a
cloud
By William Wordsworth
I wandered
lonely as a cloud
That floats
on high o’er vales and hills.
When all at
once I saw a crowd,
A host of
golden daffodils;
Beside the
lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering
and dancing on the breeze.
Continuous
as the stars that shine
And twinkle
in the milky way,
They
stretched in never-ending line
Along the
margin of a bay;
Ten thousand
saw I at a glance,
Tossing
their heads in sprightly dance.
Ans:
The poem
depicts the poet’s feeling after seeing the daffodil flowers in his lonely
state. He was in melancholy but a ost of daffodils made himjoyous. His mind
started dancing with them and he felt happy. Here we can see that the purity of
flowers can make people happy and inspire them to love.
I Died for Beauty
I died for
beauty, but was scarce
Adjusted in
the tomb,
When one who
died for truth was lain
In an
adjoining room
He
questioned softly why I failed?
For beauty I
replied
And I for
truth the two are one
We brethren
are he said
And so, as
kinsmen met a-night
We talked
between the rooms
Until the
moss had reached our lips
And covered
up our names.
Ans:
The poem
implies the powerlessness of human beings, who are obliterated at death. No
matter what we do on earth, we will be forgotten after our death. Even high
ideals of life are of little use once one dies, and the names of the dead are
also forgotten by the world.
My Heart Leaps Up
My heart
leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in
the sky
So was it
when my life began;
So is it now
I am a man;
So be it
when I shall grow old,
Or let me
die!
The child is
father of the man;
And I could
wish my days to be
Bound each
to each by natural piety.
Ans:
The poem “My
heart leaps up” by William Wordsworth puts emphases on a close relationship
with nature. Life is not worth living if one does not have an intimate
relationship with nature. In fact, it is very important to have an intimate
relationship with nature everyday of
one’s life, whether one is a child or a man.
Dreams
Hold fast to
dreams
For if
dreams die
Life is a
broke-winged bird
That cannot
fly
Hold fast to
dreams
For when
dreams go
Life is a
barren field
Frozen with
snow.
Ans:
Dreams play
a significant role in human life. They help men to reach their desired goal. So
people should hold fast their dreams, because if dreams are lost forever, life
becomes meaningless like a broken-winged bird. And, also it becomes a
barrenfield covered with snow from where nobody can expect any crop or benefit.
Time, You old Gipsy Man
Time, you
old gipsyman,
Will you not
stay,
Put up your
caravan
Just for one
day?
All things
I’ll give you.
Ans:
Time nevee
waits for anyone. It is always on the forward move. It never stays or takes
rest. It always runs and runs. To stop time for a while the poet offers things
like bells for its jennet of the best silver, a golden ring, etc. the poet
requests time to put up its caravan just for one day, but time seems to be in a
hurry as usual.
Blow, Blow, Thou Winter
Wind
Blow, blow,
thou winter wind
Thou art not
so unkind
As man’s
ingratitude
Thy tooth is
not so keen
Because thou
art not seen
Although thy
breath be rede
Heigh-ho!
Sing heigh-ho! Unto the green holly;
Most
friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then
heigh-ho, the holly!
Ans:
The winter
wind, though rough and foul, is not so harsh and cruel as the ingratitude of
mankind. The winter wind is hardly seen and so its crulty is imaginary. The sky
is far above the earth and therefore its cruel behavior is not felt keenly.
Likewise, the forces of nature are much less cruel and harsh than the breach of
trust and betrayal of friends and relatives.
The Schoolboy
I love to
rise in a summer morn
When the
birds sing on every tree;
The distant
huntsman winds his horn,
And the
skylark sings with me;
O what sweet
company!
But to go to
school in a summer morn
O it drives
all joy away!
Under a
cruel eye outwor,
The little
ones spend the day.
Ans:
Innocent
childhood is the period of displaying inherent childish prank. In this period
no child wants to go to school without enjoying bird’s song, huntsman’s winding
horn and the skylarks company during the summer morning. To a child, summer
morn school classroom is joyless and boring. It is the place of sighing, drooping,
dismay and anxiety. So every child wants to avoid the dour-faced teachers and
joyless lessons of school in the summer morning, rather wants to take lessons
in the lap of nature. Each and every child wishes to enjoy the time in mirth
and merriment.
I Had No Time To Hate
By Emily Dickeson
Two roads
diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I
could not travel both
And be one
traveler, long I stood
And looked
down one as far as I could
To where it bent
in the undergrowth
Then took
the other, as just as fair
And having
perhaps the better claim
Because it
was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as
for that.
Ans:
The central
theme of this poem is that in our life there are many ways and paths to follow.
All the ways or paths do not suit to all. Here in this poem, there were two
roads before the poet. But the poet chose the second road because the second
one was less travelled by. In this world, men want to follow a traditional
common way of living. But those who are exceptionally dutiful, honest and
upright choose a path which is seen to be different with others. The same has
happened in case of the poet.
Leisure
By William Henry Davies
What is this
life if, full of care,
We have no
time to stand and stare.
No time to
stand beneath the boughs
And stare as
long as sheep or cows
No time to
see, when woods we pass
Where
squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to
see, in broad daylight,
Streams full
of stars, like skies at night
No time to
turn at beauty’s glance,
And watch
her feet, how they can
Enrich that
smile her eyes began
A poor life
this if , full of care,
We have no
time to stand and stare.
Ans:
Life refers
to the quality of being active and exciting. And, to enjoy leisure is a part of
life. But modern people have no time to spend free time in the lap of nature.
This restless pace of modern life has a harmful effect on human nature.
Water, water, every
where
Water,water,every
where,
And all the
boards did shrink;
Water,water,every
where
Not any drop
to drink.
Ans:
These are
the lines of the poem the ancient mariner. These lines record the incident of
their ship being stuck on the Atlantic Ocean. All the mariners were huge water
around them but not a drop to drink. Because the old mariner hated the creature
of God and killed an innocent albatross.
