At the beginning of the poem, Rossetti says "Does the road wind up-hill all the way?/ Yes, to the very end" (1-2). I believe that in these two lines, Rossetti expresses the distress she is feeling with life in general and how she cannot believe it just keeps going on and on. She uses the road as a symbol for the journey of life and she cannot believe it is windy, or difficult the whole way up the hill, or through the path of life. She goes on to say "Will the day's journey take the whole long

Reflection about The little rain This short poem tells me that life is full of challenges. There is a rain but after wards sunshine that symbolize hope and happiness. No doubt, life is beautiful and every moment – a celebration of being alive, but one should be always ready to face adversity and challenges. A person who has not encountered difficulties in life can never achieve success. Life is beautiful but not always easy, it has problems, too, and the challenge lies in facing them with courage

The Tyger’ is found in draft in a notebook that takes the name the ‘Rossetti Manuscript’ from a later owner, the poet and Pre-Raphaelite painter, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. In it Blake entered, over the space of a quarter-century, emblems subsequently used in The Gates of Paradise (1793), decorations for The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1791), and drafts of prose essays, lyrics and epigrams, together with most of the posthumously published Everlasting Gospel. It is the classic example of a working notebook

Life is but a span, treasure! Value! Always, I do not understand why should pass such a life every day. It seems that every one is such, so I accept even without refusing and resisting. Everyday when I go home, I throw myself into the bed, and at the same time inexplicable sense of emptiness spreads. A voice roars in my heart, “I am unhappy, I do not like the present life”. With an exhaustion to sleep, the life is or so in tomorrow morning up, over and over again. However, one day one of my friends

Reading the poem “In an Artist’s Studio,” opened my eyes to how the poet, Christina Rossetti, used the poem as her stage for symbolic imagery. One piece of symbolic imagery that I found to be important throughout this poem is the image of obsession. In the first line of the poem: “One face looks out from all his canvasses,” clearly shows the obsession that this artist has for the woman’s face that he continues to recreate in all of his portraits. He has such a strong obsession for this woman’s
