But whenever I see you, I burst apart And scatter the sky with my blazing heart. It spits and sparkles in the stars and balls, Buds into roses – and flares, and falls. Scarlet buttons, and pale green disks, Silver spirals and asterisks, Shoot and tremble in a mist Peppered with mauve and amethyst. I shine in the windows and light up the trees, And all because I hate you, if you please. And when you meet me, you rend asunder And go up in a flaming wonder Of saffron cubes, and crimson moons, And wheels all amaranths and maroons. Golden lozenges and spades Arrows of malachites and jades, Patens of copper, azure sheaves. As you mount, you flash in the glossy leaves. Such fireworks as we make, we two! Because you hate me and I hate you. Poem by Amy Lowell Question #3:Does anyone know what the religion of the poet Amy Lowell was?Question #4:ZAP brought up a good point.

From: Zap Subject: PUH-LEEZ Message: I repeat myself..."Home-schooling" does not equate to being "self-taught" because society in the days of Di Vinci, etc. lacked the means to educate the masses...I already told you that. Every person on that list was either taught by a private tutor because the family was rich enough to afford one or were self-taught because they had the motivation and drive to get out of the poor house their family was in and public schooling was not available. C'mon...you can't be that gullible. Question #5:Teens-have you ever read any of these books? What did you think of them?Carmen-Carole FrechetteReturnable Girl-Pamela Lowell Poison Ivy-Amy Goldman Koss shug-Jenny Han Question #6:Help with analyzing a poem?!?The poem is "The Lamp of Life" by Amy Lowell.Always we are following a light, Always the light recedes; with groping hands We stretch toward this glory, while the lands We journey through are hidden from our sight Dim and mysterious, folded deep in night, We care not, all our utmost need demands Is but the light, the light! So still it stands Surely our own if we exert our might. Fool! Never can'st thou grasp this fleeting gleam, Its glowing flame would die if it were caught, Its value is that it doth always seem But just a little farther on. Distraught, But lighted ever onward, we are brought Upon our way unknowing, in a dream. Point out metaphors, symbolism, etc for me?

Question #14:Patterns by Amy Lowell?What is the main idea in Amy Lowells poem "Patterns"...can you please summarize i dont understand what it is about...ne help ne thing plzzzzzzzzz:) n thank youQuestion #15:What do you think this poem means?Grass-blades push up between the cobblestonesAnd catch the sun on their flat sides Shooting it back, Gold and emerald, Into the eyes of passers-by. And over the cobblestones, Square-footed and heavy, Dances the trained bear. The cobbles cut his feet, And he has a ring in his nose Which hurts him; But still he dances, For the keeper pricks him with a sharp stick, Under his fur. Now the crowd gapes and chuckles, And boys and young women shuffle their feet in time to the dancing bear. They see him wobbling Against a dust of emerald and gold, And they are greatly delighted. The legs of the bear shake with fatigue And his back aches, And the shining grass-blades dazzle and confuse him. But still he dances, Because of the little, pointed stick. (it's called The Travelling Bear and it's by Amy Lowell) Question #16:can you help me analyze this poem? the taxi, by Amy Lowell?When I go away from youThe world beats dead Like a slackened drum.

Why should I leave you, To wound myself upon the sharp edges of the night? Question #17:What's the meaning of the Poem "Climbing", by Amy Lowell?Could someone explain it to me? Please?Here's the poem for you... Climbing by Amy Lowell High up in the apple tree climbing I go, With the sky above me, the earth below. Each branch is the step of a wonderful stair Which leads to the town I see shining up there. Climbing, climbing, higher and higher, The branches blow and I see a spire, The gleam of a turret, the glint of a dome, All sparkling and bright, like white sea foam. On and on, from bough to bough, The leaves are thick, but I push my way through; Before, I have always had to stop, But to-day I am sure I shall reach the top. Today to the end of the marvelous stair, Where those glittering pinnacles flash in the air! Climbing, climbing, higher I go, With the sky close above me, the earth far below.

The assignment is to find the superficial meaning or deeper meaning of the poem. We also have to relate the two subject matters. My ideas are perhaps that the words, cold, croak, and float all remind me of death. The bells then could be the church bells in the night. Am I looking too much into this, and if not how does this relate to the pond? Please Help me with this. ** Powered by Yahoo Answers |
