Poetry By Dante- Autumn Song Know'st thou not at the fall of the leaf How the heart feels a languid grief Laid on it for a covering, And how sleep seems a goodly thing In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?

And how the swift beat of the brain Falters because it is in vain, In Autumn at the fall of the leaf Knowest thou not? and how the chief Of joys seems--not to suffer pain?

Know'st thou not at the fall of the leaf __How the soul feels like a dried sheaf__ Bound up at length for harvesting, And how death seems a comely thing <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">Historical and Cultural- <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ted Hughes was born in Mytholmroyd on August 17, 1930. When he turned seven his family moved to a small town named Mexborough and the landscape surrounding him is where his love for poetry was formed. He attended Pembroke College where he studied mythologies extensively. Over the course of his long career he created over a dozen books of poetry. A documentary of Ted Hughes stated, “Hughes’s work is marked by a mythical framework, using the lyric and dramatic monologue to illustrate intense subject matter”(Poets.org). The effect that Hughes has on modern society is strong and it demonstrates a love of nature and animals. Ted Hughes will have a positive effect on poets or a very long time.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">Aim and Audience- <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">The majority of his work had a lot to do with his liking of nature and animals. He often used dramatic monologue to illustrate an intense subject. His audience was mainly for a slightly more mature audience however many of his books that published the years leading up to his death were child friendly. According to an excerpt on Ted Hughes’ poems it describes, “Perhaps the most famous of his subjects is “Crow," an amalgam of god, bird and man, whose existence seems pivotal to the knowledge of good and evil.”(Poets.org). His purpose seemed to always show a common link between good and evil, no matter what aspect of writing he wrote about he still seemed to find a way to incorporate a common theme of good and evil.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">The fields quivering, the skyline a grimace, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">At any second to bang and vanish with a flap; <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">The wind flung a magpie away and a black- <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">Back gull bent like an iron bar slowly.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">Historical and Cultural-

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">Robert Louis Stevenson was born on November 13, 1850 in Edinburgh, Scotland and died in 1894 in Samoa. Throughout his life traveled often and this developed his unique writing style. His first work that he published was at the age of 28. His work gave him a great deal of fame during his time and was even regarded as a literary celebrity. A biography explained the effect that one of his stories had on his life, “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which was an immediate success and helped cement Stevenson's reputation”(bio). Stephenson's’ work effects todays society because his unique style of writing is still influencing poets today. Aim and Audience- Robert Louis Stevenson wrote stories that were full of adventure and mystery. However, near the remaining years of his life his writing focused on everyday life and his writing was more powerful than that of his early work. In doing this, he reached out to even more people and broadened his audience. A biography stated, “ <span style="background-color: #f5f6f8; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">These more mature works not only brought Stevenson lasting fame, they helped to enhance his status with the literary establishment when his work was re-evaluated in the late 20th century ”(bio). His work proved that though his writing is unique, he still influences poets to write with their own imagination.

Where The Green Grass Grows by: Tim Mcgraw Six lanes Taillights Red ants marchin' into the night They disappear to the left and right again Another supper from a sack A ninety-nine cent heart attack I got a poundin' head and an achin' back And the camel's buried in a big straw stack

__I'm gonna live where the green grass grows__ Watchin' my corn pop up in rows Every night be tucked in close to you Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed Point our rocking chairs towards the west Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows Where the green grass grows

Well I'm from a map dot A stop sign on a black top I caught the first bus I could hop from there But all this glitter is gettin' dark There's concrete growin' in the city park I don't know who my neighbors are And there's bars on the corners and bars on my heart

__I'm gonna live where the green grass grows__ Watchin' my corn pop up in rows Every night be tucked in close to you Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed Point our rocking chairs towards the west Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows __Where the green grass grows__

I'm gonna live where the green grass grows Watchin' my corn pop up in rows Every night be tucked in close to you Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed Point our rocking chairs towards the west Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows Where the green grass grows
