    I love yellow flowers, the new blooms, wild herbs growing in waste places in this country, but are ... feet or more in height, with smaller flowers than the White Mustard ,Members of the mustard family are very important ... plants are harvested before flowers are produced, so you ... was coming and produced flowers instead of nice leaves ...

  • on The Bells by Edgar Allan Poe, on May 1, 2004
    themes are woven. The other basic effect is provided by the sounds of the
    words themselves. Apart from the deliberately onomatopoeic words like
    'tintinabulation', the poem abounds with sonorants[3], and pure vowels (as
    opposed to diphthongs) that lend it a bell-like clarity and resonance.

    After this, the poem separates into verses, the form of each verse being
    shaped by its underlying theme. Thus, the first verse has short vowels and
    precise sounds, mimicking the 'sledges with the bells-- silver bells'. The
    second verse has a more mellow sound, with the longer, deeper 'o' and the
    softer 'e' replacing 'i' as the dominant vowel, and the next two verses
    likewise evoking dissonance (shorter syllables, more hurried lines, harsher
    consonants) and an almost Hardyish sense of time and death (heavy
    repetition, far less vibrant sounds). Of course, these aren't standalone
    effects, but rather both rely on and reinforce the actual content of the
    verse.
    cool poem , take care
