  Poem   : "The Chimney Sweeper" by "William Blake" When my mother died I was very young, And my father sold me while yet my tongue Could scarcely cry " 'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!" So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep. There's little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head That curled like a lamb's back, was shaved, so I said, "Hush, Tom! never mind it, for when your head's bare, You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair." And so he was quiet, & that very night, As Tom was a-sleeping he had such a sight! That thousands of sweepers, Dick, Joe, Ned, & Jack, Were all of them locked up in coffins of black; And by came an Angel who had a bright key, And he opened the coffins & set them all free; Then down a green plain, leaping, laughing they run, And wash in a river and shine in the Sun. Then naked & white, all their bags left behind, They rise upon clouds, and sport in the wind. And the An...

At its core, "The Rape of the Lock" is a mock-heroic poem that playfully magnifies the triviality of an incident involving the cutting of a lock of hair into a grandiose epic narrative.

  POEM: "SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY"                                 by "GEORGE GORDON LORD BYRON" She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express, How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

 "No Man is an Island"                                 By           John Donne No man is an Island, Entire of itself; Every man is a piece of  the continent, A part of the main; If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, As well as if a promontory were, As well as if a manor of thy friend's Or of thine own were; Any man's death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankind; And therefore never send to know For whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

  POEM: Ode on a Grecian Urn       By   John Keats Thou still unravish'd bride of quietness, Thou foster-child of silence and slow time, Sylvan historian, who canst thus express A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme: What leaf-fring'd legend haunts about thy shape Of deities or mortals, or of both, In Tempe or the dales of Arcady? What men or gods are these? What maidens loth? What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy? Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on; Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd, Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone: Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare; Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss, Though winning near the goal yet, do not grieve; She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss, For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair! Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed You...

Geoffrey Chaucer:  Forget dusty scrolls and monks in robes – Geoffrey Chaucer was no cloistered scholar. He was a man of the world: a diplomat haggling in foreign courts, a civil servant navigating London's bustling streets. All those different faces he encountered, the knight with tarnished honor, the gossipy housewife...they found their way into his writing. See, before Chaucer, "important" stories were in Latin, meant for the high and mighty. But Chaucer, he wrote in English, the language of the tavern and the marketplace. He legitimized the everyday tongue, and in the process, helped shape the English we speak today. His greatest hit, "The Canterbury Tales," reads like a medieval road trip. A bunch of mismatched pilgrims, from a noble knight to a farting miller, all head to a shrine, telling stories to pass the time. These aren't tales of spotless heroes, but flawed, bickering, gloriously human messes, just like the rest of us. Chaucer painted life wit...

  ULYSSES NOVEL BY JAMES JOYCE: "Ulysses" is a complex and influential work by James Joyce, published in 1922. It's known for its intricate narrative style and deep thematic exploration. Here's a critical Analysis: "Ulysses" is a modernist masterpiece that reimagines Homer's epic, "The Odyssey," within the framework of a single day in Dublin, June 16, 1904. At its core, it's a character study of its three main characters: Leopold Bloom, Molly Bloom, and Stephen Dedalus. Joyce employs a stream-of-consciousness narrative technique that delves deep into the inner thoughts, memories, and desires of these characters. One of the key themes of "Ulysses" is the search for identity and self-understanding.  Each character undergoes a personal odyssey, and their paths intersect, albeit briefly, throughout the day. Leopold Bloom's journey mirrors that of Odysseus, as he navigates the challenges of the mundane world, while Stephen Dedalus ...
