Poetry Analysis
The
two poems I compared was "Love is not all" by Edna St.
Vincent Millay and "She Walks in Beauty" by Lord Bryon. She
Walks in Beauty romaticizes the beauty that is pure love and the
notion that love can flourish through all odds and overcome any
hardships. It focuses on the need for love as we transition through
society and the potential it can take in our lives. In contrast "
Love is not all" by Edna St. Vincent Millay is a poem on the
idea that love is not everything and that its simply a phase of life.
She focuses on the fact that love can be very painful and that we
should trade in love for something better or something less painful
at the least. The poems use contrasting attitudes to illustrate the
lust of beauty within love and the personality it takes within vs
the ideology and romanticization of love and the pain it
can truly have.
