A rip tide is raging
And the lifeguard is away But the ocean doesn’t want me today The ocean doesn’t want me today.
Comment 1. Pick out the line, which represents the leit-motif of the song. What idea is expressed by it? What trope is used here to reinforce the idea? 2. Analyse lines 5–8 and describe the man’s inner state. What is meant by “the mischievous brain-gels”? Why is the ocean associated with “ the endless blue wine”? What does the man want to do judging by lines 7–8? 3. Read lines 9–15 and find the key element, which explains the man’s decision. What is it? 4. In lines 16–17 we see perfect conditions for the man’s decision, still something is in the way. What is wrong? Has it changed the man’s mind? Give your reasons. 5. Speak about your impressions of the song.
Checking Your Progress Exercise 5.9. Read the given poems by William Blake (1757-1827) and, using your skills of analysis, comment upon them. While working, take into account the literary trend W. Blake belongs to, as well as your own perception of the poems.
Merlin’s Prophecy The harvest shall flourish in wintry weather When two Virginities meet together: The king and the priest must be ties in a tether Before two Virgins can meet together.
Day The sun arises in the East, Clothed in robes of blood and gold; Swords and spears and wrath increased All round his bosom rolled, Crowned with warlike fires and raging desires.
Exercise 5.10. Read one the most famous poems “anyone lived in a pretty how town” by E.E. Cummings, in which the poet often uses verbs as nouns to create a double effect to give freshness and dynamism to the words. Give your analysis of the poem, regarding it as a love story or fable rather than a playful exercise in linguistics. anyone lived in a pretty how town (with up so floating many bells down) spring summer autumn winter he sang his didn’t he danced his did.
Women and men (both little and small) cared for anyone not at all they sowed their isn’t they reaped their same sun moon stars rain
children guessed (but only a few and down they forgot as up they grew autumn winter spring summer) that no one loved him more by more
when by now and tree by leaf she laughed his joy she cried his grief bird by snow and stir by still anyone’s any was all to her
someones married their everyones laughed their cryings and did their dance (sleep wake hope and then0 they said their nevers they slept their dream
stars rain sun moon (an only the snow can begin to explain how children are apt to forget to remember with up so floating many bells down)
one day anyone died I guess (and no one stooped to kiss his face) busy folk buried them side by side little by little and was by was
all by all and deep by deep and more by more they dream their sleep no one and anyone earth by April wish by spirit and if by yes.
Women and men (both dong and ding) summer autumn winter spring reaped their sowing and went their came sun moo stars rain.
