on Kubla Khan: Or, A Vision In A Dream. A Fragment by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, on July 27, 2007This is a fascinating poem. I enjoyed studying this poem in school. I think after reading this poem the following article is a must read. http://www.sesk.org/Aesthetics/Literature/English/Romantics/Coleridge/KublaKhan.htm

on Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray, on January 24, 2007
Helpful...
All poems are not just a collection of words. To draw from previous research and to get an idea specifically on these words by Gray...and it does not prove enough to just know what it meant, but to ponder the thoughts, which revolved around such master pieces even after Gray left these words for our view.
So, to read an critical essay on this Elegy's irony and sentimentality please visit the following site.

on The Journey Of The Magi by T S Eliot, on January 15, 2007
What's good to know here...
Eliot was a lover of imagery. He was very depressed at a stage in his life. Catholic faith gave him re-affirmation of life. Here he is not only talking about the sacred journey of seeing the birth of christ, but a closer, inner journey within all who search for something. This makes the poem a universality. I shall make a small note on the imagery for closer reference. That is the text-book part of it. The evocative deeper thread is that of - death of an old manifestation, birth of new world. Death of the old testament..Birth of the new one. Death of old inhibitions. Birth of the new one. This journey of search within each one of us cannot be understood by others. That is the tone of the poem. With an alien people clutching their gods. Death of paganism and birth of the new religion. Now re-read this poem. Sam
