Analysis Of The Captain's Verses By Pablo Neruda

Poetry can be quite a tricky subject to comprehend at first. However, when you explore and analyze the hidden meanings, it opens up your mind in many different ways. In most cases, when someone hears the word poetry, he or she may think of William Shakespeare or someone who is known to write “thus,” and “tho.” On the contrary, poetry expresses an individual’s thoughts in verses known as stanzas. When someone expresses his or her love for something, he or she illustrates a certain degree of passion for the reason behind it. In Jose Emilio Pacheco’s poem “High Treason,” he expresses his love for his country by conveying his compassion towards all the aspects that make his country a place for him to cherish.

Neruda express his thanks for thanks in many ways, and one way was figurative language. The speaker used a lot of powerful figurative language to get his point across. In my opinion, the strongest use of figurative language is one that hits you right in the first stanza. It states, “Thanks to thanks, / word / that melts / iron and snow.” This personification means that saying “thanks” can break through the toughest and harshest of situations (the iron) and the smallest, softest of situations (the snow). Another use of figurative language can be found in lines 9-14, where it states, “Thanks / makes the rounds / from one pair of lips to another, / soft as a bright / feather / and sweet as a petal of sugar.” First off, personification is used when the speaker says “makes the rounds from one pair

While “Ode to enchanted light” has 3 stanzas and is aligned to the left side. Also, “Sleeping in the forest” is a lyric poem while, “Ode to enchanted light” is an ode, which is two different structures. Another example of a difference is the topic of figurative language. Oliver uses more of a personal language than Neruda does. An example of this is with Oliver’s poem which states,”I thought the Earth remembered me, she took me back so tenderly”, lines 1-3. This conveys that she has a personal connection with the earth and the phrase also brings out a feeling of calmness. In addition, this quote is an example of personification. On the other side, Neruda’s poem has a more serious tone. For instance, in the text it states, “A cicada sends its sawing song high into the empty air”, lines 10-12. In the text, it puts two words that normally would not be placed next to each other. The words, “Sawing” and “Song” would normally not be used together. The word “Song” refers to a beautiful sound while the word “Sawing” hints of something unpleasant to hear. The lines are also an example of figurative language and

The use of figurative language in the poem helps develop the strong theme of appreciation. Neruda conveys his

Poetry is a beautiful, artistic way to elaborate one’s feelings through a series of lines, often with a harmonious effect. People use poetry to vent about something or someone that they feel strongly about. It is used to get a point across relating to an author’s beliefs, sometimes with a variety of figurative language usage such as symbolism and metaphors. A common topic that people often think of when they think of poetry is love. A lot of poetry as well as music is based around the theme of love. Love is a strong emotion that has several effects on people, both positive and negative. Poets and musical artists use the theme of love to talk about their experiences with men or women with whom they have had romantic affairs with, or someone they have very strong feelings about. Everybody adores something, which is why love is a typical topic that is written about. Edgar Allan Poe, an American poet, is one of many poets who explodes with emotion in each of the pieces that he writes. He uses his own personal experiences and adds a creative twist to enhance his true feelings as a person. One of the several poems Poe has written about a lover is one called “Annabel Lee.” In “Annabel Lee” Edgar Allan Poe uses the theme of love to demonstrate his admiration for a beautiful woman throughout the poem.

Love is what makes the world go around, some might say. There are several different types of love in this world. The kind that seems not real and unimaginable that usually takes place in the writings. Or the kind that could happen any second leaving you with nothing. Love is a strange, uncontrollable gesture in life that happens to everyone in all different scenarios. Authors of books and poems have a gift to make love seem easy. People can relate more to books and poems, sometimes even fantasize what it would be like being in the story. When comparing two love poems, “How Do I Love Thee?” by Elizabeth Browning and “Stop All the Clocks, Cut Off the Telephone” by W.H. Auden, while they share unimaginable concepts of love, their contrast reveals

Together these quotes show both men looking at women in their works. Secondly, both songs show that the authors only caring for one person. In Brad Paisley's "The World" he sings, "If you don't feel important, honey All I've got to say is To the world You may be just another girl But to me Baby, you are the world," (Paisley 10-15). In this quote he is saying she is just somebody to the world, but she is special to him. Neruda's Sonnet 43 similarly goes," I searched, but no one else had your heartbeat. … You are whole, exact, you are one apart from many. And so I’ll go with you, traveling and loving," (Neruda 9, 12-13). In this he says that he has no love for the others and that he loves only her. Conjointly these two poems are both saying that they both only love one person. Separately, the poems can vary at different

Neruda wrote countless poems about love. He described falling in love, making love, and the idea of love, as being completely overtaken by the greatest feeling in the world. To write so deeply about love, the Chilean poet must have done a lot of loving, right? Well, sort of.

Conversely to Keats, who writes of nature, Neruda writes for humans, to anyone who is a prisoner of a situation. This can be inferred to from lines 1-4 “....to whoever is cooped up in house…or dry prison cell”. Looking closely at the diction of the lines - “cooped up” (line 2) - we can deduce that this is addressed to anyone held in a difficult situation. This imagery portrayed in the first few lines make us imagine something bleak and gray. As we can infer to from the title of this poem, Neruda feels his job as a poet to be his obligation, and something similar to this is written in line 13 “...Drawn by my destiny,” which must be pointing to his calling in life to make poems. His tone is obligatory, as seen in the diction he uses such as “I must” (line 16). What he is obliged to do is to go to these prisoners of a circumstance, and free them from their prison (lines 1-6). In the second stanza, we find a similarity with Keats’s poem. Imagination is found in nature, Keats from nature all around us and Neruda from the sea. “To whoever is not listening to the sea” (line 1) and “asking “How can I reach the sea?”” (line 23) is an indication of this. The world is surrounded by the sea; it is the common ground for everyone. Something every person would have had at some point in their lives is the imagination. The “sentence of autumn” (line 19), which is the season of decline until you

Neruda's language throughout the poem is concise and to the point. The poem contains no rhyme or rhythm but is instead written simply, in free verse, easily understandable by any reader. The use of simple language hints at the sincerity in the poet's words. Smith’s short poem in part four of Life on Mars, addressed to S from J also uses simple and concise language. It is a very short poem in comparison to Neruda's poem. This perhaps hints to the amount of emotional investment that each subject has. Neruda's poem is much longer showing that his subject is highly emotionally invested as opposed to Smith's subject whose simple emotions are projected through a short poem.

The main theme, is the opening created by lost love in a horrible universe. The two thoughts of love and life are tangled together in Neruda's poem. The verse "falls" into his spirit due to "the immense night, more immense without her." The night wind spins and sings and the stars shudder, so that on this night he can compose the saddest lines. Because he is feeling that he lost her so tonight he will write his saddest lines.

The stunned repetition Neruda utilizes all through the poem provides a topical solidarity. The speaker presents the primary detail of their relationship and focuses to a conceivable explanation behind its destruction when he concedes "sometimes she loved me too"(line 6). He then thinks back about being with her in "nights like this one"(line 7). The juxtaposition of evenings from the past with this night uncovers the change that has occurred, strengthening his feeling of loneliness. In this area, Neruda interfaces the speaker's significant other with nature, a procedure he will use all through the poem to depict the exotic way of their relationship. In the eighth line, the speaker kissed his affection "again and again under the unending sky"(line 8) — a sky as perpetual as, he had trusted, their relationship would be. A humorous inversion of line six happens in line nine when the speaker states, "She loved me, and sometimes I loved her too."(Line 9). The speaker might offer a negative explanation of the flighty way of affection now. In any case, the expressive, self-contradicting lines that take after propose that in this line he is attempting to separation himself from the memory of his affection for her thus facilitate his affliction. Promptly, in the following line he repudiates himself when he concedes, "How might one not have loved her great still eyes."(Line 10). The poem inconsistencies make a strain that mirrors the speaker's frantic endeavors to overlook the past. In line eleven Neruda repeats his opening line, which turns into a sad abstain. The reiteration of that line demonstrates how the speaker is attempting to look after separation, to persuade himself that enough time has gone for him to have the quality to consider his lost love. Be that as it may, these lines are "the saddest." He can't yet get away

At the mere age of seventeen, Pablo Neruda wrote ’Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair’ and it has since become one of his most famous collection of poems. Once, in an interview, Neruda stated that he could not understand “why this book, a book of love-sadness, of love-pain, continues to be read by so many people, by so many young people” (Guibert, 2015). He also mentioned that “Perhaps this book represents the youthful posing of many enigmas; perhaps it represents the answers to those enigmas.” (Guibert, 2015). Neruda was one of the first poets to explore sexual imagery and eroticism in his work and become accepted for it. Many Latin-American poets had attempted the same, but failed to become popular with their critics. He merges his own experiences and memories with that of the picturesque Chilean scenery to present a beautifully poetic sense of love and sexual desire. The collection hosts quite a controversial opinion, however, amongst critics and readers alike, with the risqué themes running throughout the poems. Eroticism being one of the most evident and reoccurring themes.

Have you ever fell in love with someone? Poetry is an understanding language that express feelings and reading poetries make people to feel better. Love is the person heart who get warmth and it the deepest feelings that mostly everyone fell in love with. I decided to use the topic of “Love” because it’s romantic and understanding poems. “ I Love You Except Because I Do Not Love You” by Pablo Neruda was explains the feelings of someone. “ Remember Me” by Macia A. Newton is was describe every details that spend together Pablo Neruda poem is earnest and sympathetic tone, while Maria A Newton poem is sincere and impassioned tone. The common thing of both poems is a couple have passions and belong together.

In the poem “Tonight I can write” the main theme in the poem is the emptiness caused by the authors heart break in this vastly complex thing we call life. The two ideas of love and life are tied closely together in “Tonight I can write”. This idea is shown clearly when he writes “the night wind revolves in the sky and sings” or “the night is shattered and she is not with me”. The night is eerie and dark, full of sadness and pain, the same way his soul feels. His soul is not accepting that “it has lost her." In vast world full of people, his eyes and heart still search for her. Starry The speaker of “Tonight I can write” is Neruda. “I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.” A poem expressing feelings of love or sadness cannot be written from others feelings or thoughts. “Tonight I can write the saddest lines” He repeats these lines to put emphasis that the lines he is writing could be the saddest he’s ever written. In the poem “Tonight I can write” the main theme in the poem is the emptiness caused by the authors heart break in this vastly complex thing we call life. The two ideas of love and life are tied closely together in “Tonight I can write”. This idea is shown clearly when he writes “the night wind revolves in the sky and sings” or “the night is
