Ode to the West Wind
`` chariotest '' ( 6 ) is the second person singular . The `` corpse within its grave '' ( 8 ) in the next line is in contrast to the `` azure sister of the Spring '' ( 9 ) -- a reference to the east wind -- whose `` living hues and odours '' ( 12 ) evoke a strong contrast to the colours of the fourth line of the poem that evoke death . In the last line of this canto the west wind is considered the `` Destroyer '' ( 14 ) because it drives the last signs of life from the trees , and the `` Preserver '' ( 14 ) for scattering the seeds which will come to life in the spring ,

Pat 's `` Digging for apples '' could be a cross-language pun , as pomme de terre ( literally ; `` apple of the earth '' ) means potato and pomme means apple , which little English girls studying French would easily guess .
Ode on a Grecian Urn
Earl Wasserman , in 1953 , continued the discussion over the final lines and claimed , `` the more we tug at the final lines of the ode , the more the noose of their meaning strangles our comprehension of the poem ... The aphorism is all the more beguiling because it appears near the end of the poem , for its apparently climactic position has generally led to the assumption that it is the abstract summation of the poem ... But the ode is not an abstract statement or an excursion into philosophy . It is a poem about things '' .
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary
No proof has been found that the rhyme was known before the 18th century , while Mary I of England and Mary , Queen of Scots , were contemporaries in the 16th century .
To Autumn
Between the manuscript version and the published version of `` To Autumn '' Keats tightened the language of the poem . One of Keats 's changes emphasised by critics is the change in line 17 of `` Drows 'd with red poppies '' to `` Drows 'd with the fume of poppies '' , which emphasises the sense of smell instead of sight . The later edition relies more on passive , past participles , as apparent in the change of `` While a gold cloud '' in line 25 to `` While barred clouds '' . Other changes involve the strengthening of phrases , especially within the transformation of the phrase in line 13 `` whoever seeks for thee may find '' into `` whoever seeks abroad may find '' . Many of the lines within the second stanza were completely rewritten , especially those which did not fit into a rhyme scheme . Some of the minor changes involved adding punctuation missing from the original manuscript copy and altering capitalisation .

And Lord , haste the day when the faith shall be sight , The clouds be rolled back as a scroll ; The trump shall resound , and the Lord shall descend , A song in the night , oh my soul !

Ode on a Grecian Urn
Who are these coming to the sacrifice ? To what green altar , O mysterious priest , Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies , And all her silken flanks with garlands drest ? What little town by river or sea shore , Or mountain - built with peaceful citadel , Is emptied of its folk , this pious morn ? And , little town , thy streets for evermore Will silent be ; and not a soul to tell Why thou art desolate , can e'er return . ( lines 31 -- 40 )

Waltzing Matilda
There has been speculation about the relationship `` Waltzing Matilda '' bears to an English song , `` The Bold Fusilier '' ( also known as `` Marching through Rochester '' , referring to Rochester in Kent and the Duke of Marlborough ) , a song sung to the same tune and dated by some back to the 18th century but first printed in 1900 . There is , however , no documentary proof that `` The Bold Fusilier '' existed before 1900 , and evidence suggests that this song was in fact written as a parody of `` Waltzing Matilda '' by English soldiers during the Boer War where Australian soldiers are known to have sung Waltzing Matilda as a theme . The first verse of `` The Bold Fusilier '' is :
To Autumn
Critics have tended to emphasize different aspects of the process . Some have focused on renewal ; Walter Jackson Bate points to the theme of each stanza including `` its contrary '' idea , here death implying , though only indirectly , the renewal of life . Also , noted by both Bate and Jennifer Wagner , the structure of the verse reinforces the sense of something to come ; the placing of the couplet before the end of each stanza creates a feeling of suspension , highlighting the theme of continuation .

Ode to the West Wind
Shelley in this canto `` expands his vision from the earthly scene with the leaves before him to take in the vaster commotion of the skies '' . This means that the wind is now no longer at the horizon and therefore far away , but he is exactly above us . The clouds now reflect the image of the swirling leaves ; this is a parallelism that gives evidence that we lifted `` our attention from the finite world into the macrocosm '' . The `` clouds '' can also be compared with the leaves ; but the clouds are more unstable and bigger than the leaves and they can be seen as messengers of rain and lightning as it was mentioned above .

Ode to the West Wind
The first stanza begins with the alliteration `` wild West Wind '' ( line 1 ) . The form of the apostrophe makes the wind also a personification . However , one must not think of this ode as an optimistic praise of the wind ; it is clearly associated with autumn . The first few lines contain sinister elements , such as `` leaves dead '' ( 2 ) , the aspect of death being highlighted by the inversion which puts `` dead '' ( 2 ) at the end of the line . These leaves haunt as `` ghosts '' ( 3 ) that flee from something that panics them .
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
We all observed , that we had not the sight of one fish of any kind , since we were come to the Southward of the streights of le Mair , nor one sea - bird , except a disconsolate black Albatross , who accompanied us for several days ... till Hattley , ( my second Captain ) observing , in one of his melancholy fits , that this bird was always hovering near us , imagin 'd , from his colour , that it might be some ill omen ... He , after some fruitless attempts , at length , shot the Albatross , not doubting we should have a fair wind after it .
Ode on a Grecian Urn
The poem begins with the narrator 's silencing the urn by describing it as the `` bride of quietness '' , which allows him to speak for it using his own impressions . The narrator addresses the urn by saying :
To Autumn
Of all of Keats 's poems , `` To Autumn '' , with its catalogue of concrete images , most closely describes a paradise as realized on earth while also focusing on archetypal symbols connected with the season . Within the poem , autumn represents growth , maturation and finally an approaching death . There is a fulfilling union between the ideal and the real .

It has been suggested that these changes were from an even earlier version , and that Paterson was talked out of using this text , but the manuscript does not bear this out . In particular , the first line of the chorus was corrected before it had been finished , so the original version is incomplete .

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
In the second chapter , Alice initially addresses the mouse as `` O Mouse '' , based on her memory of the noun declensions `` in her brother 's Latin Grammar , ' A mouse -- of a mouse -- to a mouse -- a mouse -- O mouse ! ' '' These words correspond to the first five of Latin 's six cases , in a traditional order established by medieval grammarians : mus ( nominative ) , muris ( genitive ) , muri ( dative ) , murem ( accusative ) , ( O ) mus ( vocative ) . The sixth case mure ( ablative ) is absent from Alice 's recitation .
Bye and Bye We're Going to See the King
Titles like `` Bye and Bye We 're Going to See the King '' and `` I Would n't Mind Dying ( If Dying Was All ) '' are taken from the refrain . The title of the 1929 version by Washington Phillips , `` A Mother 's Last Word to Her Daughter '' , whose verses differ markedly from other versions , was presumably chosen to indicate that he intended it as a companion song to his `` Mother 's Last Word to Her Son '' of 1927 .
Ring a Ring o' Roses
A reference to a young children 's game named Ring o ' Roses occurs in an 1846 article from the Brooklyn Eagle . A group of young children ( the eldest being about seven ) form a ring , from which a boy takes out a girl and kisses her .
Ode to the West Wind
Shelley also mentions that when the West Wind blows , it seems to be singing a funeral song about the year coming to an end and that the sky covered with a dome of clouds looks like a `` sepulchre '' , i.e. , a burial chamber or grave for the dying year or the year which is coming to an end .

Chapter Five -- Advice from a Caterpillar : The Caterpillar questions Alice and she admits to her current identity crisis , compounded by her inability to remember a poem . Before crawling away , the caterpillar tells Alice that one side of the mushroom will make her taller and the other side will make her shorter . She breaks off two pieces from the mushroom . One side makes her shrink smaller than ever , while another causes her neck to grow high into the trees , where a pigeon mistakes her for a serpent . With some effort , Alice brings herself back to her normal height . She stumbles upon a small estate and uses the mushroom to reach a more appropriate height . The

Richard Holmes emphasizes the differences and the positives of both versions of the text as he argues :
The Raven
Amused by the raven 's comically serious disposition , the man asks that the bird tell him its name . The raven 's only answer is `` Nevermore '' . The narrator is surprised that the raven can talk , though at this point it has said nothing further . The narrator remarks to himself that his `` friend '' the raven will soon fly out of his life , just as `` other friends have flown before '' along with his previous hopes . As if answering , the raven responds again with `` Nevermore '' . The narrator reasons that the bird learned the word `` Nevermore '' from some `` unhappy master '' and that it is the only word it knows .

To Autumn
Thomas McFarland , on the other hand , in 2000 cautioned against overemphasizing the `` political , social , or historical readings '' of the poem , which distract from its `` consummate surface and bloom '' . Most important about `` To Autumn '' is its concentration of imagery and allusion in its evocation of nature , conveying an `` interpenetration of livingness and dyingness as contained in the very nature of autumn '' .

Ode on a Grecian Urn
Mr Keats , seemingly , can think or write of scarcely any thing else than the ' happy pieties ' of Paganism . A Grecian Urn throws him into an ecstasy : its ' silent form , ' he says , ' doth tease us out of thought as doth Eternity , ' -- a very happy description of the bewildering effect which such subjects have at least had upon his own mind ; and his fancy having thus got the better of his reason , we are the less surprised at the oracle which the Urn is made to utter :

If one does take Glumdalclitch as the young Stella and the entire episode as an encoding of the time at Moor Park , then it is a poignant story indeed . Swift , like Gulliver , delighted in performing for Stella ( e.g. his Meditation Upon a Broomstick , which he wrote for her ) , was shown about by her `` father '' ( William Temple ) , found the living too coarse for his sensibilities , left her company for a `` promotion '' to London and court life , and mourned her absence for the rest of his life .

His Eye Is on the Sparrow
Early in the spring of 1905 , my husband and I were sojourning in Elmira , New York . We contracted a deep friendship for a couple by the name of Mr. and Mrs. Doolittle -- true saints of God . Mrs. Doolittle had been bedridden for nigh twenty years . Her husband was an incurable cripple who had to propel himself to and from his business in a wheel chair . Despite their afflictions , they lived happy Christian lives , bringing inspiration and comfort to all who knew them . One day while we were visiting with the Doolittles , my husband commented on their bright hopefulness and asked them for the secret of it . Mrs. Doolittle 's reply was simple : `` His eye is on the sparrow , and I know He watches me . '' The beauty of this simple expression of boundless faith gripped the hearts and fired the imagination of Dr. Martin and me . The hymn `` His Eye Is on the Sparrow '' was the outcome of that experience .

Iliad
After a discussion of the metres employed by previous translators , Arnold argues for a poetical dialect hexameter translation of the Iliad , like the original . `` Laborious as this meter was , there were at least half a dozen attempts to translate the entire Iliad or Odyssey in hexameters ; the last in 1945 . Perhaps the most fluent of them was by J. Henry Dart ( 1862 ) in response to Arnold '' . In 1870 , the American poet William Cullen Bryant published a blank verse version , that Van Wyck Brooks describes as `` simple , faithful '' .

As a result of immigration to the United States and the incorporation of non-English speaking people into the country , the lyrics of the song have been translated into other languages . In 1861 , it was translated into German . The Library of Congress also has record of a Spanish - language version from 1919 . It has since been translated into Hebrew and Yiddish by Jewish immigrants , Latin American Spanish ( with one version popularized during immigration reform protests in 2006 ) , French by Acadians of Louisiana , Samoan , and Irish . The third verse of the anthem has also been translated into Latin .

In the lectures On Translating Homer ( 1861 ) , Matthew Arnold addresses the matters of translation and interpretation in rendering the Iliad to English ; commenting upon the versions contemporarily available in 1861 , he identifies the four essential poetic qualities of Homer to which the translator must do justice :
