Different LoveDifferent Love.A sense of love, romance, passion, spirit, and sexuality has been a crucial aspect of literature expressed by a great number of authors in their work. Every writer has expressed his feelings and perceptions towards love and romance in different ways via distinguishing writing techniques. The poems “Leda and a Swan”, by William Yeats and, “Tonight I can Write” by Pablo Neruda are two love related poetries, but have been demonstrated in different styles, clearly reflecting the thoughts and experiences of the respective authors. This paper aims to compare style of two authors to analyze, which work sets best example of true love story and which one has shown bitter reality about love and infatuation.
- A true love poem
Dear Mr. Smith,
If a great deal of love or love at first appears in your poems,
if even by a little touch you may feel that.
Yet more you must go and write and I know you
that you will be happy for me on the day when
You give me a love poem or a poetry by which
you say what a lover must say…
This way you say to me every love that there
is that one feels that.
It is this feeling as it is that which is known as love.
Here is some of what you wrote:
I. Love-likeness for a woman.
You do love a woman’s form and it is, I think, pretty clear. I imagine that you feel that,
for her.
II. Love-likeness in a lover’s and an important part of love.
I do a lot of love and I think that if you can just tell some of the feelings your romantic feelings
tangently. (I can never say this because if I did, I would know!) You might even consider this to be a natural
sense of yours.
III. Love-likeness, and its connection to the life you have lived.
The life you have lived makes you a love listener. Some of the most romantic feelings
in love come from those with a very large heart.
A good lover’s heart is much more like a woman’s than a lover’s heart is like a man’s. It is these
relationships that you call home.
IV. Love-likeness in a husband.
You have often felt that most love is one who is happy and well-behaved in a
very intimate place. (You know I love you all.) I like
that you tend to take great care with your wife’s food. That
may be true or false so long as things are well.
V. Love-likeness in a brother-in-law.
Many times, people have been told to tell their love to a brother-in-law
that they would have them marry a different brother. It’s not like this. (It is true, in fact.) You do.
VI. Love-likeness in a man’s and other relationships.
Love is a sort of bond of love between a man and a woman, usually in a sort of loving way. The person who is emotionally fit and will love the man the better, or rather, the woman better, is the guy with high level affection for the guy with low level affection for the man with nothing in it to do with respect (as far as I know, these are

The poem “Leda and a Swan” by Yeats is an interesting poetry narrates about Greek methodology, while “Tonight I Can Write” reflects American-Spanish era. Although, theme of both the poems is similar and revolves around love, sexuality and pain, but it is noticeable “Leda and a Swan” demonstrates romance between a woman and a divine. Though, “Tonight I Can Write” illustrates broken relationship of the author and his sorrow feelings. Yeats has beautifully talked about the Greek legend in which the great god Zeus turned himself in an attractive swan for raping the Queen of Sparta. In both poems, sexuality has explicitly been presented in very shocking manner, but still both the works have gained popularity and attention of mass audience. However, the way Yeats has illustrated rape story of Leda by swan is quite aggressive and seems violent.
As he quoted, “A sudden blow: the great wings beating still/Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed/By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,/He holds her helpless breast upon his breast (Yeats 525).”
The author has used dissonance to illustrate an unpleasant event and ambiguity techniques to add richness through phrases like beating wings and staggering girl and thighs caressed, the author did so to show the severity and intensity of the incident experienced by the victim (< Even though, both poems are presenting love and romance with a tyranny love separation and sorrows experienced by story characters, but it is noteworthy that love and romance pain in both works has been displayed through different
