- Women and Roses
- Rythm
- trochee and dactyl mix, LL has lots of dactyls, dactylic all the way through
- Calm short stanzas have imabic trimeter
- Imagery
- Sexual imagery, 'Thy cup's hert nectar-crimmed, the bees are interested in her now, 'The bee sucked in by the hyacinth', overpoweringflower smell, Brownign is the bee. SLIGHTLY WEIRD
- Rose symbol could sexual towards women- demeaning
- Context
- idea of past/present/future, omenn lusted after/celebrated, objects, described but not given a voice
- Character
- 'Dear rose, thy term is reached', is he being respectful to old women, their time has gone, he sounds gentle, its a self indulgent poem he indulging in imagining all these women however kind he is being
- Lost in musing, your own thoughts, Dubeity, hiding, intravert
- 'Drink but once and die!' intoxicating idea, Prospice wanting to be with dead woman, deos he want to possess the woman? creepy
- Has all these women circlign around him as if on a carosel that he can just pick one off at anytime,
- women alluding him is a theme has links to Tw in Camp
- 'Fold me fast where the cincture slips', he wants to be imprisoned, 'But no- the old measure, they circle their rose on my rose tree', reminding himself he wont have the women, they allure him
- Untitled
- 'Dear rose, thy term is reached', is he being respectful to old women, their time has gone, he sounds gentle, its a self indulgent poem he indulging in imagining all these women however kind he is being
- Layout
- Distinct structure, past/present/future
- the smaller introductory stanza are much calmer, there is a contrast between frustrated irregular metre, urgent, trochee and dactyls compared to calm in small stanzas
- 'How shall I fix you, fire you , freeze you',list of 3, alliteration
- Vulgar word choice, 'each pallid breast!' pare, ghostly, no blood , dead and gone
- 'Dear rose', refrain, repeated line in a poem, childish? Male voice, creepy
- Has quite a lingering, leisurely mood, like LAR
- 'And which of its roses three Is the dearest rose to me?'
- potentially patronising, affectionate, reflect views of woman at the time, rest of poem is answer to this question
- 'In a dazzling drift'
- alliteration, matches stress beats
- '-flee the multitude of maidens', archaic, collective noun, emphasising their virginity, 'beauties yet unborn', very creepy, they're pure
- 'SO WILL I BURY ME WHILE BURNING', LUSTFUL AND CLASUTROPHOBIC whoops caps
- When he talks of the futre, 'Thy bud's the babe unborn', new day opportunities, Maddona imagery, new born
- The future is most exciting for him as they are furthest away, similarily to how he is excited in LoveinL when he is far away from Elizabeth
- 'I will make an Eve', he calls himself an artist, he puts himself in the place of God, he seeks a rose without a thorn, no sin, he wants perfection, objectifiying women, he is trying to wrestle with something, never getting anywhere, thsi would be impossible for him to do
- The future is most exciting for him as they are furthest away, similarily to how he is excited in LoveinL when he is far away from Elizabeth
- Links to Tocc.Gal as retreating in own thoughts
