Spring is the season of growth, revival and beginnings. In the poems “Spring and All” by William Carlos Williams and “For Jane Meyers” by Louise Gluck, the poets talk about this very season. In fact, the two poems are contradictory, in that, Williams writes about the bleakness of winter and the awakening of spring. On the other hand, Gluck’s romantic poetry associates the natural renewal of spring with bereavement and death. Both poets use abundant imagery, symbolism, metaphors, different tones, and similes, to affirm their contending attitudes towards the season. Consequently, although the poems are about the same subject, the demeanor of the poets are varied.

The appreciation of nature is illustrated through imagery ‘and now the country bursts open on the sea-across a calico beach unfurling’. The use of personification in the phrase ‘and the water sways’ is symbolic for life and nature, giving that water has human qualities. In contrast, ‘silver basin’ is a representation of a material creation and blends in with natural world. The poem is dominated by light and pure images of ‘sunlight rotating’ which emphasizes the emotional concept of this journey. The use of first person ‘I see from where I’m bent one of those bright crockery days that belong to so much I remember’ shapes the diverse range of imagery and mood within the poem.

Panama City Beach is a tourist town and it relies on people coming from all over the world to visit. The busiest months are during Spring Break and when summer vacation starts. Right now, the law only states drinking any kind of alcohol on the beach during March is illegal and bars that are on the beach front must close at 2 am.

Gallahan’s article grants the reader with an article containing the advantages and disadvantages of a year round school. In the beginning of the article Gallahan discusses that year round school is always a debate the moment it is brought up. While the author mentions that the article is about the two different sides of year round school, it is mainly focused on the advantages. For example, “Schools utilizing a year-round calendar are experiencing benefits of remediation and retention as other traditional calendar schools are reaping the benefits of calendar unity and less funding commitment” (Gallahan). This intext citation displays that even though her article addresses the debate, her voice of reason is directed more towards the advantages.

Love makes people become selfish, but it is also makes the world greater. In this poem, the world that the speaker lives and loves is not limited in “my North, my South, my East and West / my working week and my Sunday rest” (9-10), it spreads to “My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song (11). The poem’s imagery dominates most of the third stanza giving readers an image of a peaceful world in which everything is in order. However, the last sentence of the stanza is the decisive element. This element not only destroys the inner world of the speaker, but it also sends out the message that love or life is mortal.

Many poems in the collection feature a speaker who looks back at his old time in introspection disapprovingly. For instance, in the poem “The Coming of Wisdom with Time,” the speaker refers to his old time as “the lying days of my youth” (Norton, 38). A similar sentiment can be found in the poem “All things can Tempt Me,” in which the speaker laments that “a woman’s face”—love, and “the seeming needs of my fool-driven land”—nationalism have once tempted him away from the “craft of verse” (Norton, 40). In the poem “Reconciliation,” too, the speaker recalls that “you” (presumably Maud Gonne) took away the verses that could move readers. Deaf and blind, the speaker “could find / nothing to make a song about but kings, / Helmets, and swords, and half-forgotten things / that were like memories of you” (Norton, 37).

These lines summarize Yeats’s torment between 1903 and 1908, when he was tortured by unattainable love and preoccupied with the management of the theater.
