Comparing A London fete and Composed Upon Westminster Bridge
A London fete and composed upon Westminster Bridge.
I am going to be comparing two poems in this essay the first poem is
London fete which was written by a man called Coventry Patmore this
poem is about a hanging that took place and about the effect it had on
other people who watched. The second poem is composed upon Westminster
bridge by William words worth which is about a man who is standing on
a bridge describing the view he sees and how he feels looking at this
view.
The theme to composed upon Westminster Bridge is firstly about nature
and beauty and peace. It describes his view of London to be beautiful
and how he feels so calm and relaxed from looking at the view. It’s
not an angry poem it’s sensuous. A London fete is about violence and
death. It has an unhappy theme as it is about a man getting hanged and
how viewers are enjoying and getting adrenalin from watching this .the
theme is really death and the poem is full of violence. It isn’t
relaxing at all as it is a negative mood.
The mood in this poem is negative and dull; it shows sad and violent
images which puts the mood in this poem bad. For example the poem says
“thousands of eyeballs, lit with hell” which creates a bad mood as it
saying people are watching and waiting with evil eyes which isn’t a
calm atmosphere.
In Westminster Bridge the poem creates a happy positive mood as it
contains relaxing words such as “all bright and glittering in the
smoke less air” which creates calm and reflects his love for nature.
The mood f these two poems contrast as a London fete is a negative
mood and composed upon Westminster Bridge is a positive mood.

He objects to the event and the effect on those who watch. It seems to
be that he’s trying to show the cruelty to hangings but not just to
the person who was killed. For example “two children caught and hanged
a cat” which shows that he’s watching someone being killed has made
animals victims too. This is a good technique because it makes people
emphasise the animal cruelty and disagree with hangings.
In composed upon Westminster Bridge, by the way the poet uses calm
and peaceful words it makes you feel relaxed and in a cheerful mood.
The poet seems to want us to be more grateful to god as the poem says
“dear god the very houses seem asleep” and it seems he’s being
thankful and wants readers to be too.
Both these poems are good poems because they involve feelings and
thoughts and I think that the poets put a lot of thought into writing
them.
After the Civil War, African Americans encountered great discrimination and suffering. During this era, two influential leaders emerged from different philosophical camps. Brooker T. Washignton of Virginia and William Edward Burghardt Dubois of Massachusetts proposed, different means to improve African Americans’ conditions. These men had a common goal to enrich the black community. However, the methods they advocated to reach these goals significantly differed.
however, this is actually a contrast that would strongly influence the courses of the two poems to
poem. The tone used by each poet is critical because it indicates to the reader their
The poem begins with the speaker addressing God as “Our Father who art in heaven” (1.1). If this prayer is a metaphor for writing, it would seem that the he is actually speaking to the audience, the group of people who will ultimately judge his writing and his ideas. The casual nature of the prayer is partly based on the fact that the speaker is admittedly drunk on red wine, but also because the writer is trying to establish a relationship with his audience: A rapport with his readers is important to a writer’s success. He thanks his readers for the red wine, because it is they who have made it possible for him to maintain a lifestyle wherein he can afford the wine, and this wine acts as the liquid courage he needs to write in the first place.
In the second stanza, the poet reveals that in the face of death, the criminal will still be unhappy, even though it is was he wanted all along. Line (7) of the poem, the poet means that hangings are a means of curing society, ridding it of pests (criminals).

..., they are somewhat similar in comparison because they both have an inevitable ending, death. Both of the poems also used rhythm to give the reader a better insight and experience. The use of rhythm helps to set the tone right away. The use of symbolism and tone helped to convey an overall theme with both of the poems.
The poetry by these two poets creates several different images, both overall, each with a different goal, have achieved their purposes. Though from slightly different times, they can both be recognized and appreciated as poets who did not fear the outside, and were willing to put themselves out there to create both truth and beauty.
On the surface the poem seems to be a meditation on past events and actions, a contemplative reflection about what has gone on before. Research into the poem informs us that the poem is written with a sense of irony
The two poems I have chosen to explain are Piano by D H Lawrence and
Both poems where written in the Anglo-Saxton era in Old English and later translated into English. As well as both poems being written in the same time period, they are both elegiac poems, meaning they are poignant and mournful.

Both poems inspire their reader to look at their own life. In addition, they treat the reader to a full serving of historic literature that not only entertains, but also teaches valuable lesson in the form of morals and principles.
I found that throughout this poem there was much symbolism within it. Identifying that it was written in first person form showed that this poem relates to the author on a personal basis, and that it was probably written to symbolize his life. But when talking about people’s lives, you can conclude that people’s lives are generally and individually very diffe...
The writings of both poets can be described as both simple and complex at the same time, just like the world they’re writing about. While on a purely literal level you may be reading about loss, family, traveling, or nature, all of the poems have a deeper meaning about these topics that the poet leaves the reader to discover.
