Tennyson was a famous poet from England in 19 century.He had two poems which can express his Personal characteristics.
First one is “The eagle”.What kind of feeling does an eagle have?It flys in the sky, standing on the crag, and show its fantastic posture, ready to break all the outdated world.But no bird can be surrounded it.So it is strong but lonely, just like poet Shelley.
This poem use aaabbb way in rhyme. Also, it has alterations and assonance, like “casps” “crag” “crooked” and “Ringed” “wrinkled”.Poet use these rhymes to create a huge scenery for eagle and show its stated.When you use weak-strong rhythm to read it, it will be more powerful.
Second one is “Break Break Break”. Poet wrote it because his friend was dead.
“And the stately ships go onTo their haven under the hill;But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand,And the sound of a voice that is still!”
The tender grace of his friend will never came back to Tennyson.He feel sad and upset for this.The “O” sound was just like a heavy sigh after a deep breath.That is miserable.Maybe his heart-breaking can never be fixed.
