Summary of the poem ‘I am not yours’
The poem, ‘I am not yours’ was written by Sara Teasdale. My analysis of
this poem is that it's about someone who is in love with a person with whom
they are unable to be with. For instance, it could be about a man or woman who
is married but in love with another. They know there is hope that someday they
will be together, just not now, so they dream of whom it will be when the time
is right. There is love, will always be love, and someday they can act upon
their love.
In the first stanza,
the narrator states, “I am not yours, not lost in you, Not lost, although I
long to be.” At first, we think it’s because she is in love with someone she
can’t have. They are taken by someone else and the narrator will never get to
experience what it’s like to be in a relationship with them. It is quite tragic.
However, in the second
stanza, we learn that this person loves the narrator. It is the narrator not
the other person that is keeping the narrator from experiencing what she/he
wants to experience.
The final stanza is a prayer that
the narrator will be able to allow themselves to fall hopelessly in love, “Oh
plunge me deep in love”. They wish to no longer navigate through life doing the
sensible thing using only their mind (“put out My senses, leave me deaf and
blind,”). Instead, they want to concentrate on what their heart wants. They are
ready for love, but are still waiting for the thumbs up.
Summary of the poem ‘Alone’
The
poem Alone was written by Edgar Allan Poe. Alone, as the name suggests, is a
poem about an introvert, about a person that was not very confident of him. The
meaning of this poem is loneliness. The
first half of the poem was about Poe’s terrible childhood. The second half of
the poem is about his family life, and so on.
The first eight lines are
about him not having the same passion as others, and about his normal life with
his parents. The phrase even makes you think that he preferred being different
to others.
The lines 9, 10, 11 and 12,
are about how the dawn of his childhood, the early times of his childhood
changed into something negative, which was what in 'of a most stormy life was
drawn' meant, the next line, 'From every depth of good and ill' meant that the
change was made from the normal good and bad things in his life so far. The
next line is about him questioning himself why it had happened to him.
