Lips unused to thee.

Counts his nectars—alights,
And is lost in balms!(Come Slowly, Eden by Emily Dickinson)

That breathes upon a bank of violets …”Twelfth Night (By William Shakespeare)

Def.-In writing, the speaker is the voice that speaks behind the scene. In fact, it is the narrative voice that speaks of a writer’s feelings or situation.

Ex-The Road Not Taken (by Robert Frost)

The speaker in Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken” is a conflicted person, who does not tell anything about himself. However, the readers of this poem know that he is undergoing a big decision, that he has chosen a single path according to which he is directing his life, and this splits into two options ahead.

Falling leaves and yellow woods are metaphors for the speaker’s life, showing the downfall of his life. At this stage of life, it is not possible to return and make a new decision, because he knows the time is gone. The speaker is impulsive and adventurous, the reason that he has chosen the less traveled path. He is feeling a little regret, while his tone is also a bit sad.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night (By Dylan Thomas)

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

From my books surcease of sorrow – sorrow for the lost Lenore…(The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe)
