Poetry Anthology - Nerina Franguelli

  1. Slide Nº7:

    At the beginning of the poem the author expresses this idea of missing his beloved and then after the turn, she tells that in familiar places she continues remembering him and the same happens in places she didn't know before because she wants him to be there with her. Furthermore, we can also notice mentions of places that continue to represent what happens to her:

    “The old snows melt from every mountain-side” - a reference to winter moving to spring - and “last year's leaves are smoke in every lane” - a reference to clean-up (information taken from: http://kellyrfineman.livejournal.com/428898.html?thread=4838754)

    What they really mean is that time keeps going on, winter changes to spring but she can't remove him from her imagination and she continues remembering him anyway.

  2. Slide Nº 10:
    At the beginning of the poem, the author seems not to like her because she is described as "not having eyes like the sun or not having red lips". However at the final couplet, Shakespeare makes us change the idea we had of her telling us that he love her with all her imperfections; and for my, this is the most lovely thing that a man in love can say. This last part really touched my heart.
