Poems about Love

"Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day" p. 543 This poem, along with the other Shakespearean sonnet that we read for class, is part of a sequence of sonnets that Shakespeare wrote. There are 154 of them in all. This is number eighteen. The point of this sonnet cycle and Elizabethan “love poetry” in general was twofold: the poet was to praise the “beloved,” yes, but showing poetic skill and wit (which for the Elizabethans meant skill with language and putting together ideas and images in a new and startling way) was an equally important goal.

"Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day” questions p. 543 In "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day," why is the summer's day not adequate for comparison? What is it that makes the subject of the poem (the "beloved") immortal? What is the "problem" in this poem? Where is the "turn"? (Remember our discussion of sonnets.) Comment on the poet's use of nature in this poem. How is this a poem about love?

“The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” (p “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” (p. 710) and “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd” p. (716) Both of these poems are pastoral poems. This means that they idealize and romanticize life in the country as pure, carefree, and idyllic (peaceful). “The Nymph’s Reply” was written in direct response to the first poem. Poets who were familiar with each others’ work would often respond to one another in this way.

Questions for “Passionate Shepherd” and “The Nymph’s Reply” “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” How does the shepherd depict the life that he is offering his beloved? What does he do to try to convince her to come be with him? Does this romanticized view of nature detract from the poem as a "love poem," or add to it? “The Nymph’s Reply” How does the nymph answer the shepherd's offer? Why? How does the speaker in this poem put "her" own twist on the ideas in "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love"? Do you see any similarities between this poem and "Shall I Compare Thee"?

"What My Lips Have Kissed" p. 660 We move forward in history several hundred years here, but many of the themes, if not the treatment of those themes, remain the same. What differences/similarities between this poem and the other do you notice? How does her attitude toward love compare to the others we read for today? Look at specific lines in them poems as you make your comparisons.

Metaphysical Poetry The Metaphysical Poets were active during the 17th century (the 1600's). They were, above all, concerned with inventiveness and ingenuity of metaphor, (remember our discussion of "wit" from last class) and they fully explored the implications of saying that two unlike things are the same. This tends to make the metaphors and similes in metaphysical poetry very striking and unusual. John Donne and Andrew Marvell are two of the most recognizable Metaphysical poets.

"To His Coy Mistress" p. 559-60 What is the argument that this poem makes? How does the speaker contrast what he would do if he had time and what he must do because time is running out? What are some of the most startling images or metaphors in this poem? Another poem in the same vein as "To His Coy Mistress" is "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time" on p. 498

"The Flea" p. 690 What is the argument that this poem makes? (Yes, it is a strange one…) How does the poet use the death of the flea to enhance that argument? How does this poem fit in with the definition of “metaphysical” poetry we just learned?

"Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" p. 691-695 How is this a "love song"? What is it that the speaker worries about? There is great debate over what question the speaker was about to ask (line 10) before he stops himself. What are some possibilities there? What are some of the images/metaphors in this poem that are particularly interesting?

In-Class Writing #7: Write a love poem using as many "disgusting" words as you can. Possible word list: Acne Snail Mucus Rust Mold Remember, while the words and images may be “gross,” you are writing a poem about romantic love/affection.
