No, it is
about the lover
s’
separation. As the poem metaphors, the poet
believed he and his
wife
’
s love is sacred, he
didn
’
t hope they cry when
separation comes, let their love be
stained by the ordinary and mundane.
?
2. Explain the
metaphors in the poem.
In the first
verse, the poet used virtuous
men
’
s death metaphor for
lovers
’
separation, in the third verse he used
“
moving of the
earth
”
and
“
trepidation of
the spheres
”
metaphor for lovers
’
separation and the result of separation, in the
last three verse he used stiff twin
compasses
’
two legs metaphor
for poet
himself and his wife. All
these metaphors show poet opinion that he will
separate from his wife in peace, their
love is a scared love, when they away
from each other, they will not be hurt
by the pain of the separation. He and his
wife will not really separate. They
care about each other and listen to the other
one
’
s heart,
their trust and loyalty makes their love perfect
like the circle made
by a twin
compasses.
m Blake
The
Tiger
?
What is
the symbolic meaning of the tiger?
The
symbol of the Tiger is unclear what it exactly
symbolizes, but scholars
have
hypothesized that the Tiger could be inspiration,
the divine, artistic
creation, history,
the sublime, or vision itself. The list is almost
infinite. The
point is, the
Ti
ger is important, and Blake’s poem
barely limits the
possibilities. Here
are two major symbolisms:
The tiger is
the embodiment of God's power in creation.
The tiger shows the force of French
Revolution.
?
What paradox can you find in the poem?
views of the 18’s century.
The view only concluded that god create the lame,
he is so kind a father. But it didn’t
know god also create the tough tiger. He
can also be
very serious.
The god is someone who can’t be truly understood
by
human beings.

Frost
Stopping by Woods on
a Snowy Evening
?
Why did the speaker stop?
Literally he was fascinated by the
beautiful night scene and stoped his horse to
watch the woods fill up with the
snow,it was also a little break for the long
travel. But in fact,it's symbolism,the
'woods' stands for the nature,the 'village'
stands for the human world, 'horse' for
the animal world. The poem represents
a
moment of relaxation from the burdensome journey
of life, an almost
aesthetic enjoyment
and appreciation of natural beauty which is
wholesome
and restorative against the
chaotic existence of modern man.
?
Why did he
later decide to go?
As the last
sentence said 'But I have promises to keep,And
miles to go before I
sleep.'
His 'horse' shake the bell to ask if
they should go,which is actually a symbol of
vitality, urges him to go. He lives in
the real life, and he has his own
obligation
trip,leave the
beautiful the scene is so amazing,he has to have
the real life. Though the real life is
so hard,he must back to it,and reach his
goal. One leaves no regrets after he
dies, as long as one has reached his goal.
?
What is your
understanding of “promises
to keep”?
“The
promise” could be an obligation or a goal. One
cannot die before
fulfilling one’s
dream. The poet uses “sleep” to represent death,
just as we
usually do. People have
their own dream or goal,it's also the duty for us
to
finish, we live for ourselves and we
make life wonderful by keeping on
reaching our goal,no regrets leaves as
long as we have reached our goals.
