I’ve always believed that miracles can happen and that great physical and/or mental suffering can engender greatness. This indeed proved to be the case with this splendid work by Alexander Pope.
I find Pope a fascinating individual. He was a catholic, at a time when legislation was repressive...

Personal Response:
Poetry is not my favorite thing to read. I kind of struggled through this poem, but I do think I took away the main point the author was trying to get across to me. This poem really made me think about what was going on. Unlike many books, this plot wasn't spoon fed to me.

I had however neither read the poem in full, nor made any attempt to understand it, nor even knew that it was written...

This poem has a real good story to it; it wasn’t a conveyance of metaphor, but a story of love and longing. It’s a narrative poem, which means it’s fairly long and plot driven. It’s really quite imaginative in this because it explores different types of dreams and wishes through a few different...
Beautiful. Keats addresses the tragedy of life, where men are resigned to " sit and hear each other groan...where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies". But he juxtaposes this with the nightingale, his "immortal bird", whose song echoes through the ages being heard by the high and mighty and...
