[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page analysis of Jean Toomer's imagery-laden, eight-line poem. The paper centers on the author's use of the color black for relating the color of death, of fear, and of life for the people of his race during the time in which he wrote. The reapers work in silence, methodically and mindlessly cutting down one at a time, as black people were so often treated in the hundred years between the end of the Civil War and the Civil Rights activities of the 1960s.

The Poetry of Misery
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page analysis of six poems: Arnold's 'Dover Beach,' Auden's 'Musee des Beaux Arts,' Coleridge's 'Kubla Khan,' Brooke's 'The Soldier,' Shelly's 'Song to the Men of England,' and Wordsworth's 'The world is too much with us.' The writer argues that all six portray the ability of poetry to relate the dark side of human existence, This aspect of poetry is particularly evident beginning with the advent of the Industrial Revolution. The drastic changes that accompanied the transformation from economies that were primarily agrarian to the industrialized world we know today caused considerable psychic stress and a generous portion of human misery. Poets, over the last two centuries, have addressed this topic. No additional sources cited.
