Recommended: Sir Phillip Sidney defense of poetry

In the sonnet, "Thou Blind Man's Mark," Sir Philip Sydney uses a poetic form to express desires in his mind and how it affects him. The speaker begins by insulting how bad desires are, which shows…... This contempt is most readily optically discerned when he elaborates on poetic devices such as oxymoron, repetition, and diction to convey the speaker’s complex attitude. Throughout the poem, the speaker’s utilizations of oxymoron avails communicate his sundry feelings about desire. The poem's title not only starts a central argument of what the story is going to be about, but it leads us into a contradictory phrase of a "Blinds Man's Mark." The man could not actually be blind if he was trying to assassinate someone or something because blind

    To achieve this overall sense of regret he once again utilizes the poetic device of apostrophe. He addresses desire and personifies it as a devil figure whom he struck a deal with and ultimately paid the “price of [a] mangled mind.” This not only ties into the vilification present in the first quatrain, but it also creates the atmosphere of guilt and regret. He feels guilty for falling victim to desire and regrets it because the price was too high. Sir Sidney also employs a metaphor, which ties into the apostrophe used in this stanza, once more. He compares he mental pain and anguish he feels for his actions to the purchase of something that was not worth it at the cost of something valuable to him, in this case

  • The Sidney's and Their Love Stories

    907 Words  | 2 Pages

    In conclusion, Lady Mary Worth’s Pamphilia to Amphilanthus and Sir Philip Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella are very similar in many parts of their sonnet sequence and many of their sonnets can be related. In particular sonnet seven from Pamphilia to Amphilanthus and sonnet fifty-three from Astrophil and Stella both illuminate each other in different things. For one thing they are both controlled and ridiculed by Cupid, they also share that their composition is an iambic pentameter and that both stories are considered a Petrarchan. Even though some differences can also be highlighted, they have more to allude to each other than to differ.

  • Letter from Sidney to Shakespeare: A Comparison of Two Sonnets

    I have just returned from seeing your marvelous new tragedy Romeo and Juliet, and I wish to offer my sincere congratulations on another stupendous success! One particular passage from the play has stuck in my mind. In the first act, scene five, Romeo and Juliet exchange a dialogue about a kiss which is in the form of a sonnet. This reminded me of one of my own sonnets: Sonnet #81 of Astrophil and Stella. Your views on the subject of kissing are very interesting, and in many ways parallel my own. For instance, you compare kissing to a holy and prayer-like act, where as I compare it to a union of souls. There was one aspect of your sonnet that reminded me very much of my own. Your Juliet is very clever and quick-witted in speaking to the lovesick Romeo in the same way that my Stella is in her response to Astrophil.

    The sonnet opens with a seemingly joyous and innocent tribute to the young friend who is vital to the poet's emotional well being. However, the poet quickly establishes the negative aspect of his dependence on his beloved, and the complimentary metaphor that the friend is food for his soul decays into ugly imagery of the poet alternating between starving and gorging himself on that food. The poet is disgusted and frightened by his dependence on the young friend. He is consumed by guilt over his passion. Words with implicit sexual meanings permeate the sonnet -- "enjoyer", "treasure", "pursuing", "possessing", "had" -- as do allusions to five of the seven "deadly" sins -- avarice (4), gluttony (9, 14), pride (5), lust (12), and envy (6).

  • Autobiography at an Air-Station by Philip Larkin

    1512 Words  | 4 Pages

    The ironic use of rhyme and meter, or the lack thereof, is one of the devices Larkin uses to emphasize his need to break out of industrial society. The typical rhyme scheme is not followed, but instead an ironic rhyme scheme is used in the sonnet in the form of abab cdcd efg efg. Larkin writes this poem as a sonnet but at the same time diverges from what a typical sonnet is supposed to be. He is commenting on society’s inclination to form restrictions on those within it. By writing out of the accepted form of a sonnet, his writing becomes more natural because of a lack of constraints due to following certain rules and fitting a certain form. He breaks free and writes as he pleases and does not conform to society. Just as with the rhyme, ...

    In the poem "Thou Blind Man's Mark" by Sir Philip Sidney, the poet develops the speakers hateful and elitist attitude through the use of negative imagery to emphasize the speaker's disdain towards desire, as well as employing a poetic shift to illustrate the speaker's personal history with desire. Overall, these poetic devices create a speaker who is aggressive towards desire because of personal experience. Throughout the poem, the speaker employs imagery in a very negative and hostile way. Most notably would be the moment when he says "Thou blind man's mark, thou fool's self-chosen snare,..."

  • Sir Philip Sidney's Astrophil and Stella

    1386 Words  | 3 Pages

    The literary fortunes of Sir Philip Sidney illustrate nicely the contrast between the Elizabethan and twentieth century views on imitation and originality in literature. Sidney's sequence of 108 sonnets entitled Astrophil and Stella which appeared at the end of the sixteenth century drew immediate praise from English readers who appreciated his "blend of wit and sensibility, of intellectual brilliance and temperamental ardour" (Lever 53); they liked especially the "directness and spontaneity" (53) of the poems. Sidney himself contributed to his reputation for sincerity with the immortal lines of first sonnet: "Biting my truant pen, beating my self for spite, / Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write." Teachers repeat this good advice endlessly. I tell my College Writing students to use personal experience; one can hardly go wrong with early childhood memories because the material is pure--not yet contaminated with the clichÈs of what we are supposed to believe and feel. Astrophil and Stella inspired literally thousands of sonnets and Sidney's admirers thought that he was greater than Spenser or Shakespeare.

    For the reader to grasp the concept that this sonnet is about writer’s block Sidney has to cement the idea that Astrophil is a writer. In this duality, being both the star lover and writer, we begin to see Stella as a metaphor for a writer’s work and audience. Opening the sonnet with a profession of love for Stella, the object of Astrophil’s affection, he is hurt that he does not have her love. In the view of a passionate writer it is as if some critic has said that you are or your work is inadequate and without their approval. In order to gain the critics or Stella’s love he w...
