2/6
PB Shelley’s Ode to the West Wind
Though the poem allegorises the role of the poet as the voice of change and revolution, its deeper meaning lies in the positivity that it ends with...if winter comes, can spring be far behind!
3/6
Lamia by John Keats
Lamia, a serpent in a human body is happily married to Lycious, till sage Apollonius reveals her true identity, destroying their world and killing Lycious who fails to recover from shock and grief. The poem questions the need for the revelation of bitter realities in words that have far reaching implications.
4/6
All the world is a stage by William Shakespeare
Shakespeare describes the seven stages in man’s life, almost like a philosopher in Act II of his play As You Like It. It is part of a poem recited by Jaques, the court comedian.
5/6
The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The story of the mariner’s voyage and penance is a reflection of life, the mistakes we make and the atonement me must undergo to attain peace.
6/6
Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold
A difficult poem to analyze as some of its passages are deep metaphors, Dover Beach talks about life and its profaneness sans affection.
