THEME: Hard work in order to have a better life. Older people become alienated to their family. Working class lifestyle.

KEY DEVICES AND QUOTES:

The author makes use of a lot of enjambment, as this is able to wonderfully depict the father's lifestyle as non stop and ongoing.

There is a powerful metaphor, "Man’s estrangement from a man-made world." that portrays how the father has not adapted and herefore doe not fit in this world.

A simile "Like a word dropped from a long sentence.", which shows how the father has become insignificant and useless.

THEME: the heartbroken and depression of the persona until her perspective changes into a positive one.

KEY DEVICES AND QUOTES:

Uses a lot of  personification: "Through the mute telephone"  emphasaises  the fact that the object of the speaker's affection is not contacting her.

Also uses hyperbaton:  ". This your nature is.", the inverted sentence unerlines the certainty of the message being delivered.

As the author is religious there are allusions to Greek Mythology: "the savage conches of the beach."  the reference to "conches", brings to mind the symbol of Triton, which could create such a sound  as to calm or raise the waves and put giants to flight in fear.

Naturalistic sarroundings that represent the speaker's feelings.

The Clod and the Pebble - by Francesca Gasparini and Lara Bianchi :)

# data[].attributes.subject
The Clod and the Pebble - by Francesca Gasparini and Lara Bianchi :)

# data[].attributes.body
Context: The Clod and the Pebble was written by William Blake (1757-1827)
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poems/detail/43655#about

Theme: the representation of two opposing views of love

Key ideas:
- Clod: selfless, unselfish, cheerful, generous, sacrifices for others, malleable
- Pebble: selfish, self-protective, enjoys others suffering, cruel
- The poem has a symmetrical layout, not favoring a specific view but to encourage balance and to choose the middle way

Quotes:

"And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair"  (line 4)
"And builds a Hell in Heaven's despite"  (line 12)

These are two metaphors, the first one refers to the Clod, which makes the good out of the bad (optimistic) and the second one refers to the Pebble, which makes the bad out of the good (pessimistic). They act as concluding lines to the songs each are singing, creating balance.

"Clod of Clay" (line 5)
"Pebble" (line 7)

The words are capitalized, because the Clod and the Pebble are personified.

""Clod of Clay" (line 5)

There's an alliteration, the soft "cl" sound refers to the malleable Clod.

"Love seeketh not itself to please" (line 1)

The Clod is selfless, unselfish and altruistic

"Love seeketh only self to please" (line 9)

The Pebble is selfish, self-protective
-There's parallelism, which creates contrast while not giving more or less importance to one type of love or the other

KEY DEVICES: rich vocabulary, the use of metro poetry (poetry about poetry) and she uses many alliterations, repetitions and euphemisms.

THEMES: the dwelling of an important loss.

QUOTES:

The beautiful image of the place “where the brook goes under the lane” was used in line 4 because it was her way of coping with something so horrible and painful as the death of a parent. It also contrasts with the shaking white ambulance.

The "romance" referred to in line 8 is the imaginative story that the persona creates in her mind.

The lines 19 and 20 universalizes the author's experience as "many" and "every" is a generalised focus, which tells us that a lot of people invent an imaginary version of a deceased relative.

In the verse "a corpse they need never get to know", the tone is self-critical. The speaker admits that she doesn't admit her mother's death.

We can interpret "rise above me" as the mother was expecting her child to be better than her, and learn from her mistakes. We can also interpret this expression as the child took advantage of her mother and that this caused her death, which would show that the mother was haunting the speaker. Also, we can see it as a self-accusation of the poet as really, it is the poet which is taking to herself.

- "Love a child is ever crying;" is the first line of the poem. In this line, love is personified as a male child which is always unhappy.
- "Trust not one word that he speaketh" is the last line of the second stanza. In this line, the poet suggests love cannot be trusted, that it breaks all of its promises.
- "Wolves no fiercer in their preying" is the first line of the last stanza. In this line, love is compared with the wolves' ferocity. When wolves are preying, they are as fierce as love.
