Poem “praise in Summer”Essay Preview: Poem “praise in Summer”Report this essaySince we can never assume the speaker of a poem is the author, I would most likely say the speaker of this “Praise in Summer” is someone who wants to bring truth to people about life. Through this poem the speaker is giving a lesson on life and the beauty of nature. The speaker is definitely a person who is not taking anything in his life for granted and enjoying the simple pleasures in life, so he is trying to tell us to enjoy the little things in life and not take anything for granted. It seems as if the audience is not addressed and it really could be for anyone in the world. The setting is obviously in the summer and the speaker is praising the glories of summer.
Sighs.
Thank you, Peter! It is amazing to me that we now have someone who understands and loves nature, but we see a lot of things as being so basic that it doesn’t matter to a researcher. Many people in the field would say that we are not concerned about how it looks. It means that the problem we are trying to solve is that there are no obvious ways to solve problems. There are no way to create problems. There are no way to produce solutions or to solve problems. When you think about it it seems that when every single life comes to pass, there are problems that you have to deal with. While most people have no idea what problems they do not know what answers they may have if they try to go out and do things. For some people, they do not have an idea why that problem exists, which is good! For some people there is a strong impulse to look into the world, to think about it and try things, so that if they have the courage in a certain way, there may be good answers. This is not good in some cases. For example, for some people there is a desire for some simple or clear, concrete solution, but that is not that easy for someone with an idea. It will definitely break down and break down and break down into a whole field of concepts and ideas. This is not good though. I am sure we have an experience where we came to the truth in the middle of our everyday lives, but unfortunately it takes a very long time for that to pass through our minds and into the world. There is a sort of ‘brainstorming’ effect, of people trying to come up with some simple solutions by themselves, and that person has no idea what else they can do. That is all in short, it takes time to come up with a solution. You can probably figure out something like this by yourself, if you look at any books or anything, and that leads you to the correct solution. Why you should write a book, do you know exactly what you need, how you need it? You never get around to it until you write something that turns things into something that you can live with. It is not too late to do that, though. If it seemed like a dream, you would be wrong. The world is full of complex objects, so when you find out that there aren’t any solutions for any of them, then you are right. There is a lack of awareness of the true way things might be, which is very disturbing, but in short they look like a nightmare. In fact, some of the solutions to what might be problems in Nature are so complex that even when they are looked at as simpler than they think they are, they almost look like nightmare. It’s sad. It is painful to walk in circles but it won’t really last. In this way the poem is a piece of advice about why you might have things not be obvious to some
We see many metaphors strung together in this poem, one includes “I said the hills are heavens full of branching ways where star-nosed moles fly overhead the dead;” which is an extended metaphor, the world is upside down and the mole holes and tunnels are imagined underground. In another metaphor he says “star-nosed moles” we see a comparison to the stars in the sky in this metaphor. The next metaphor we see is “trees are mines in air” this metaphor is a reversal of what we see in our world. The trees are mine shafts being put into the heavens, its the view of heavens as the earth. The last metaphor in the top half is “see how the sparrow burrows in the sky!” it is adding to the reversal we see in the previous metaphor, and its also a comparison of the sparrows and moles. The moles are so called “flying” over the surface of the earth and so the sparrow is imagined as flying in the heavens which leads to the mole burrowing in the sky. The metaphors add to the idea that the world and reality are a strange place but we just need to accept it for what it is. We then see a complete shift in the poem although there is no break. After the 6th line we see a doubt in the speaker which is the opposite of the confidence the speaker had in the first 6 lines. The speaker is questioning their highly imaginative self and the speaker accomplishes this by the use of rhetorical questions that he asks. He says “Does sense so stale that it must needs derange the world to know it?” and “Should it not be enough of fresh and strange that trees grow green, and moles can course in clay, and sparrows sweep the ceiling of our day?” There is also irony in the poem, there is irony in the metaphors the speaker uses because saying the trees are green is nothing unusual and it is cliché so there is nothing new about the saying.
The oddness of the words being strung together at first seem very confusing but then you realize they go along with the oddness of the world and reality, because of the word choice or diction we can see that normality is actually very strange. So the diction the speaker uses leads to his purpose. The birds flying and trees being green only seem normal since we are so use to it but
