THE SICK ROSE


   The critical analysis of the poem: 

                A backward reading of the poem "THE SICK ROSE" by William Blake brings us a different picture than when we read it upright. This poem talks about a girl and her secret love story.
                 'Rose' here is the symbolism of a young girl, 'the invisible worm' symbolizes memories that never fade, and 'his dark secret love' talks about her lover who has not appeared as a person in this poem but has his role in her memories.
                  The secret love destroyed her life, the dark secret love of him makes her life miserable. It is one that happens to have the joy of deep love in her bed.  


                 

    The storm that wails and brings melancholy flies in the night uncovers her memories of her dark love like a worm that digs the earth, which is invisible to us. The poet feels sad for the girl who is struck down in her woe past. The poet calls "art sick. " implying that to be she is sick mentally that is invisible.

OF TRUTH

Image
Truth is judgemental. Truth centered on itself.  Smooth for some But, sharp edges for others. Truth has its color of facts, But, the facts are not the truth. Neither truth stay facts nor facts makes it the right. Truth is not cold but hard to accept. We can manage truth, can't earn it. Truth doesn't get welcomed.  But, give up its royal entry.   Truth breaks the stereotypes. Truth binds and serves equality. Truth seizes everyone for the trespass. None can escape from the hands of truth. Truth can be colored, but it has no favors. Truth can be polished but, it is truth. Truth is truth, has no alternative terms. TRUTH HAS ITS OWN RESPECT, YET WE FEAR TRUTH.

GEOFFREY CHAUCER

    The English poet Geoffrey Chaucer is considered the first founder of the English language. Canterbury Tales poem is best, work to English Literature.                          His family name is derived, from the French  chasseur , meaning "shoemaker." In 1324, John Chaucer the father, of Chaucer was kidnapped, by an aunt. In the hope of marrying the 12-year-old to her daughter in an attempt to keep the property in Ipswich. The aunt was imprisoned and fined, which suggests that the family was financially secure. Chaucer died of unknown causes on 25 October 1400, although the only evidence for this date comes from the impact on his tomb, which was built more than 100 years after his death.  There is some suspicion that he was killed- by enemies of Richard II or even on the orders of his heir Henry IV, but the case is entirely uncertain. Chaucer was buried in Westminster Abbey in London, as was his rig...

MULE IN A MUTE

                     We have completed our 20 years of relationship. I know a gift of mine from God, is she. I ever owned of my own. We share our life on earth. She covers all my needs. She has not offered me different solutions for the many problems I own. Instead, she provides one solution for all my problems. Her solution to all my problems is "A TALK " with her. We have a great conversation in the moonshine. I  feel being; emotional, sensitive, and all innocents acts of her cause even more pain in her. She never quit, even it hurts so bad. But she is also good at consoling me. I don't have any guess of that where these positive vibes delivered to her. Anyhow the best I ever own is her.                                                To be clear, my 'SOUL' is what I am saying. It seems too much to hear ...
