Question

Which four lines or sets of lines in the poem are examples of sensory imagery? Song: To Celia by Ben Jonson Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss but in the cup, And I’ll not look for wine. The thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove’s nectar sup, I would not change for thine. I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much honouring thee As giving it a hope, that there It could not withered be. But thou thereon didst only breathe, And sent’st it back to me; Since when it grows, and smells, I swear, Not of itself, but thee.

Answer 1

The depiction that portrays the sense of smell, taste, sound, sight and touch is called sensory imagery. This is used by the poets and authors to depict the scenes in the reader's mind vividly.

In the poem lines that depict sensory imagery is "Drink to me only with thine eyes " Or leave a kiss but in the cup," "Doth asks a drink divine; But might I of Jove's nectar sup, "Since when it grows and smells, I swear,"

The song To Celia can be explained as:

• It is a famous poem about love by Ben Jonson in which the poet compares his love to that of god as more endearing and intoxicating.

• In the lines, sensory imagery is depicted very accurately as the poet compares the drink with taste and the use of the word nectar depicts something sweet and involves the sense of taste.

• The depiction of the cup justifies the sense of gustatory and the sense of taste and smell. In the last line, the sense of smell is depicted.

Therefore, these lines or sets of poem justifies the sensory imagery.
