A Walk-through of Despair (Poem by Sristi)

Hesitation to walk through the winding paths,
Infuriated fate follows sharply through the hollow trees,
Fire sets and engulfs the teak trees,
Cracked, moth-eaten, ash-coated  branches,
Stranded on a dead island,
Burning mist and despairing dreams.

Loathing, mad and lonely,
The magnolias cast a deep graven shadow,
Cryptic messages that cross through the mind,
Fade and desolate the atmosphere.

Powerless and startled at the terror of occurrences,
Chipped and frosted lips,
Even the apathetic weather
Storms down into a chill shower
The aversion isn’t quite avoidable
When all you opt for
Is what you shouldn’t settle upon.

Imaginative Representation on "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"

Wordsworth’s poem “I wandered Lonely as a Cloud” is a reflective poem in which he expresses the joy after taking pleasure of the beauty of the daffodils. He starts off as talking about the loneliness he faces and vows to remember the scene of daffodils again whenever he falls into sadness because they induce the feeling of happiness and rejoice in him. This poem was composed in the early 19 th century.  It is highly influenced by the Romanticism. This poem raises the imaginative issues such as human-nature relation, elevation of natural objects, reflective approach and sublimity/eternity. Man and nature are shown to be in harmony in the poem. Through the use of reverse personification, the poet transcends into feeling like a wandering cloud. In further description, we find the personification of daffodils as if they are humans who “dance” in the breeze. The concept of unity among the people and the terrestrial objects are found in the theory put forth by Von Schelgel. He says “Na

Emotive Function of Language in Lawrence’s “Spring Funeral”

“The Spring Funeral” is an excerpt taken from” The White Peacock”, the first novel of D.H Lawrence. The novel was written in 1906 but finally published in 1911 after three revisions. It is narrated in the first person by a character named Cyril Beardsall. The spring funeral takes place in the chapter 2 “The shadow in spring”. This particular section, is a pastoral elegy, that raises the issues propounded in Emotive Theory by I.A. Richards, such as valorization of nature, synasthesia, human sensibility and organicity. In the description of spring funeral, the writer like a painter, depicts the early spring season with the vibration of the non-human world, the birds like larks, thrush, lapwings and the black-legged lamb. All the animals seem to be intoxicated by the magnificent morning and feel the thrill. The natural scenes of hazels, sallow trees and pale wind-flowers portray the gloom. In Emotive theory by I.A. Richards, he gives emphasis on the nature and its effects in the life

The Catwoman (Short Story)

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could get the person whom we love most? What if love was easy to get? What if we didn’t have to love someone secretly? I wish things would work out with a girl I love. She’s the definition of perfection. She’s my ultimate dream, which I see every time. She’s the catwoman. She’s not a superhero but she’s a super girl in my life. But I’m too shy to tell her. My friends tease me a lot. I tell them that I have the confidence to speak with her, but no, I really don’t.  I’d rather use my ninja skills to stalk her whenever I can. My pen rolls off the desk as I daydream about her. I am having an exam. Curiously, I’m done with it already, just on time. I hand over the answer sheets to the invigilator and walk out. I meet my friend, and I tell him my plans to wait for my crush to come out of the hall. We stand outside, from where we can see all the people coming out of hall. I’m fidgeting with my feet. I look around. I’m already feeling anxious before I see her.
