So it seems to be he has also made comparisons or references. Wed, 03 Mar 2021 15:50:41 -0500 Seriousness https://nowcomment.com/documents/105218?scroll_to=1350957 https://nowcomment.com/documents/105218?scroll_to=1350957 He seems to be more serious at this last sentence, almost like this whole poem had a purpose, and that there was a specific intention of writing this poem, like there was a meaning, and this last line sort of gave off that impression. Wed, 03 Mar 2021 15:50:41 -0500 Specifics https://nowcomment.com/documents/105218?scroll_to=1350951 https://nowcomment.com/documents/105218?scroll_to=1350951 In his poem, he describes specific things that he sees, like the type of bird (swallows) and what he sees them doing (diving sharply) Wed, 03 Mar 2021 15:50:41 -0500 Cadence https://nowcomment.com/documents/135345?scroll_to=1318611 https://nowcomment.com/documents/135345?scroll_to=1318611 It gives the poem a stop, a finishing ending. Mon, 08 Apr 2019 09:37:08 -0400 end stopped lines https://nowcomment.com/documents/135345?scroll_to=1318604 https://nowcomment.com/documents/135345?scroll_to=1318604 this paragraph contains end stopped lines Mon, 08 Apr 2019 09:35:20 -0400 Enjambed line https://nowcomment.com/documents/135345?scroll_to=1318602 https://nowcomment.com/documents/135345?scroll_to=1318602 this is an enjambed line Mon, 08 Apr 2019 09:34:52 -0400 Imagery https://nowcomment.com/documents/135345?scroll_to=1318544 https://nowcomment.com/documents/135345?scroll_to=1318544 An open eye makes it more disturbing as you visualize it, but what might her purpose be of making us visualize that? Mon, 08 Apr 2019 09:16:41 -0400 clarification https://nowcomment.com/documents/135345?scroll_to=1318541 https://nowcomment.com/documents/135345?scroll_to=1318541 Now she confirms my belief of earlier saying how she was talking about a metal hook, that she was making the poem have a disturbing turn, as she might be symboling rape, or some other type of unhealthy relationship with another. Mon, 08 Apr 2019 09:15:33 -0400 Misleading sentence https://nowcomment.com/documents/135345?scroll_to=1318536 https://nowcomment.com/documents/135345?scroll_to=1318536 This sentence can be interpreted in many different ways, as to like a hook into an eye like the hooks and eyes on women's clothing, or she could be talking about a metal, sharp hook, fitting into an actual eye, we may never know what she's talking about. But this means the poem can go both ways, she could be saying "you fit into me like a hook into an eye" as a good thing clothing wise because they are made for each other or she could be saying "you fit into me like a hook into an eye" in a bad and disturbing way like real eye and metal hook, once again might be symboling into rape of some sort since she said you fit into me which she could've meant physically but like a hook into an eye could mean it was painful, disturbing, horrendous, and all the other scary synonyms to describe a painful experience like that. Mon, 08 Apr 2019 09:13:27 -0400 what aspect is she talking about? https://nowcomment.com/documents/135345?scroll_to=1318521 https://nowcomment.com/documents/135345?scroll_to=1318521 Does she mean literally? Physically? Mentally? Emotionally? Or is she using this as a metaphor? She could also be talking about forced sex in a way or rape, but thats only a possibility. Maybe she might even be talking about personality wise, like someone else's personality fits into her. Mon, 08 Apr 2019 09:23:08 -0400 Punctuation https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272147 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272147 The punctuation in the sentence has an exclamation mark at the end, this probably means this line should be loud Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:37 -0400 diction https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272128 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272128 The first stanza and the last stanza have every word in common except the first word of the last line. In the first stanza the line goes "what immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?" but the last stanza goes "what immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?". Why does William Blake choose to change that word? What might this act of diction represent? Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:37 -0400 brain in furnace? https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272108 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272108 Why did they ask in which furnace was the brain? what does this line connote to in real life? what was william blake trying to tell us or ask us here in this sentence? Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:36 -0400 fearful https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272038 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272038 How is symmetry fearful? is something making it scary? whats the deeper meaning behind this?
