Comparing the way two poets, John Claire and Ted Hughes, write about :: English Literature
Comparing the way two poets, magic trick Claire and Ted Hughes, compile somewhat the theme of nature and the season of spend.Through out my essay, in which is to follow, I will be comparing theway two poets, gutter Claire and Ted Hughes, write about the theme ofnature and the season of summer. The two verses that I am to study areWork And Play written by Ted Hughes and Summer Images written by canClaire in the 1800s.In both(prenominal) the poems the poets are talking directly to us (the reader).Although both poems are about summer and nature they are coming at usfrom in truth different points of view.In Work and Play Ted Hughes Talks directly to us about how nature interms of the remove distributes with summer the swallow of summer shetoils all the summer and how nature in terms of human beings dealwith summer But the holiday people were laid out like wounded flat asin ovens roasting and basting. He makes the comparison amongst the mantrap of the swallow and ugliness of t he humans throughout the poem.When thinking of summer one cant help but get a rosy estimate in onesmind, the beach, the sun, and the fun But Hughes paints a morerealistic limn for us. He shows us the down side and instantlywipes away the amiable picture and shows us its not all fun.Through out the poem he also points out how we are destroying oursurroundings giving it a precise green, environmental feel to it. Hepacifically concentrates on cars, gas pedal and pollution Serpent ofcars that crawl through the dust in hailing petroleum. As you canclearly describe Ted Hughes is constantly contrasting the humans (natureat its worst) with the swallow (nature at its best).John Clairs poem comes across from a different angle. He concentrateson everything that is ripe with nature through out his poem we get avery romanticised view of summer, and in every stanza he describesnature to its full beauty much beauty intervenes, turn up thesilver lining to the sun. Every word that John Clair uses in his poemhe manages to romanticise in some way, for exemplar the jetty snailcreeps from the mossy irritant John Claire softeners the word thorn byadding a soft word in front of it, in this case the word was mossy.In the time that Claire was writing this poems was seeing naturethrough rose coloured glasses, but he was also summing up what peopleof his time thought of nature.
