These poems which I have studied in my P.G. education.
Paradise Lost: This is an epic written by John Milton. In this long poem he uses myth from the Bible. But he makes so many changes and he gives voice to human being like Eve and Adam. I learn that how we can write something new on older one.
The Ecstasy: This is a metaphysical poem. In this poem poet writes about Love. But love of two souls not body. He describes it very well.
The Flea: It is also metaphysical poem. In this poem he writes about love. But main point is that he uses flea as reference. And it is wonderful.
Death be not proud: This about harsh reality of death. He tries to say that death can’t separate us. After the death also we will meet.
Home Burial: This poem is about Husband and wife. Three tragedies accrue in this poem like death of child, Failed marriage, death of parents.
The stopping by woods: In this poem there is one wonderful line as under,
‘Miles to go, before I sleep’
And this is my favorite line from it.
Nightingale: This about the myth of Philomela. It tries to show that feeling in this poem.
Fire and Ice: it is small poem but very suggestive. How the worlds end? It is about that in ice or fire never knows.
Design: This is about the design of Nature which is created by poem through three different things like white spider, white mouth and white flower.
Waste Land: It is long poem written by Milton. This is divided into five parts. In this poem he criticizes about their life and all those things. In this poem he puts collage of different images.
Grecian Urn: This is about an ancient Urn. Time captured by this poem and he write about the beauty of that Urn.
Ode to autumn: It is about the season of autumn. Generally we considered it as negative season but it is not so. We get many things in this season.
Mending Wall: It is about two neighbors and how they meet once in a year and because of that wall. So generally we think that wall departed us but here they meet because of wall.
The gift Outright: It is about two different nations one is old while another is new. And then crises happened because of these two worlds.
Psyche: It is about the Goddess of Psyche. How her life was and her emotions.
