Answer:
Li-Young Lee’s “For a New Citizen of These United States” appeared in the poet’s second collection, The City in Which I Love You, published in Brockport, New York, in 1990. Like the majority of Lee’s poems, this one is based on his memories of a turbulent childhood, beginning with his family’s escape from Indonesia by boat in the middle of the night when he was only two years old. The past often plays a significant role in Lee’s poetry, for it is something he feels is always there— that, unlike a country or a prison, history is inescapable. But not all of the poet’s relatives and friends who endured the same fears and upheaval of life in exile share his notion of an unavoidable past. “For a New Citizen of These United States” addresses a “you” who is not specifically identified but who appears to be an acquaintance of Lee’s from the time of their flight from Indonesia. In this poem, the person spoken to is not enamored of things from the past, as Lee is, and seems not to recall any of the events and settings that Lee describes. Although the poem’s speaker—Lee himself, in this case—pretends to accept his acquaintance’s lack of interest and real or feigned forgetfulness of their shared history, his tone of voice and subtle sarcasm make it clear that he is frustrated by the other’s attitude. This premise dominates the poem from beginning to end.
The lines in the poem “Astrophil and Stella” which indicates that the poetic speaker is hopelessly in love are:
1. “And pleas’d with our soft peace, stayed here his flying race.”
2. “Where with most ease and warmth he might employ his art:”
3. “Deceiv’d the quaking boy, who thought from so pure light”
4. “But she most fair, most cold, made him thence take his flight To my close heart, where while some firebrands he did lay,”
5. “He burnt un’wares his wings, and cannot fly away.”
Sir Phillip Sydney wrote the sequence of sonnets “Astrophil and Stella” which has been inspired by his relationship with Lady Penelope. It is a sequence of poems which marks the development of Astrophil's love for Stella. He is deeply in love with Stella and describes her beauty, intelligence, and wisdom in the sonnets.
