“Thou are not lovelier than lilacs”

English
1 answer:
Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago
3 0
While the poems were written centuries apart, they have many similarities. Both poems are sonnets that use comparisons but in an unusual way. Each tells what the love is not lovelier than. Both poems use imagery involving nature, and both use vivid word choice. While Millay does state her love is not more beautiful than "small white poppies," she "bend[s] before" him in awe. Shakespeare makes a point of stating that his love is an ordinary woman, not a goddess. Both poets use careful diction and poetic language. Shakespeare uses "hath," and inverts sentences. Millay uses "thy" and "thou" along with other archaic words. Her line, "lovelier than lilacs" is an example of her choosing words for their sound as much as their meaning. The lines "day by day unto his draught/of delicate poison adds him one drop more" also illustrates her concern for the sound of the poem. Love and lovers seem little changed over the centuries!

As a concerned a member of this community I suggest we offer after school facilities for kids in our area to resort to after a school day. They need somewhere where they can come and feel as if they were in a second home, a place to resolve conflicts, a place of refuge for them. They need something like an afterschool sports club program. Even if they do not participate in a particular competitive sport they can come here and play recreationally. They can participate in games such as little league soccer games, baseball games, basketball tournament all in good fun in helping to keep them out of trouble. The kids will be offered snacks and shelter if there is bad weather after school. If there's trouble at home they will always have this place to come to you and always feel welcomed. This is an amazing way to open up the doors the community to the youth improving their quality of life. (Hope this helps!!!)

Arisa [49]

Archibold, started using kites to lift anemometers to measure wind speed at various altitudes. Meteorological observatories around the world used kites to lift instruments thousands of feet into the air. This gave a great deal of information about the atmosphere, and vastly improved the weather forecasting of the time.
