Based on my understanding, this poem is mainly about the conversation of real life in which everyone is about to die and can have love desire.

I met the Bishop on the road
And much said he and I.
'Those breasts are flat and fallen now,
Those veins must soon be dry;
Live in a heavenly mansion,
Not in some foul sty.'

            In the first stanza above, Jane met he bishop and have a conversation a lot. In the conversation, the bishop reminds her that she is about to die because of her age. Her age that is clarified or symbolized through 'Those breasts are flat and fallen now, Those veins must soon be dry;. In other side, the bishop also wish for Jane that she will live in the heaven, not in the place that is foul. In this stanza we can conclude that it remind us that we have to be ready for whether enable come in the god’s mansion or not.

'Fair and foul are near of kin,
And fair needs foul,' I cried.
'My friends are gone, but that's a truth
Nor grave nor bed denied,
Learned in bodily lowliness
And in the heart's pride.

In the second stanza, Jane devotes to him of the complementarity of fair and foul. According to Trisha (2014) “good and evil are closely inter-connected to each other; good needs evil as a complement; one is incomplete without the other”.No body denied that her friends have died because that all are true. Then, she learned the truth with the humble desire “in bodily lowliness”.

'A woman can be proud and stiff
When on love intent;
But Love has pitched his mansion in
The place of excrement;
For nothing can be sole or whole
That has not been rent.'

In the last stanza above confirms that the woman should be proud and stiff in the love case though it has its place of excrement for finding the compliment. Trisha states (2014) “Jane further tells the Bishop that woman should be proud and strong in matters related to love. Love has its dwelling in the place of excrement. Love finds satisfaction in the filthy organs of the body. The virginity of a woman can only be completed by consummation”.

WALT WHITMAN

“OUT OF THE CRADLE ENDLESSLY ROCKING”

Socialism is a social theory whose characteristic s have been moulded both by specific theoretical works, and  in the course of time, by practical politicial, legal and economic institutions and measures in communist-ruled countries. There are a man was writing a poetry about socialism. He is “Walt Whitman was born on May 31, 1819. He was the second child in a family of 11. His parents were Walter Whitman, a housebuilder, and Louisa Van Velsor. Whitman grew up in the Brooklyn district of New York and Long Island. At the age of twelve Whitman, began learning to work as a printer. It was around this time that he discovered a great passion for literature. Largely self-taught he read voraciously, including works by the great classic writers – Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, and the Bible. After a devastating fire in the printing district of New York, Whitman was left without a job, But, in 1836, at the age of 17, he began his career as teacher in the one-room school houses of Long Island. He continued to teach until 1841, when he turned to journalism as a full-time career”. file:///C:/Users/PC_39/Documents/Walt%20Whitman%20Biography%20%E2%80%A2Biography%20Online.htm. Walt Whitman is a man who writing a poetry with the tittle "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking"  this poetry is telling about soci9alism too. There are some aspect that can be analysis using socialism theory in this poetry.

            Firstly, The first  stanzas is tell about the memory of the past with the setting, describing a place in long island.where the someone who sit on the wooden chair that enjoy with sing of the birds and listen the music in the midle night. This poem prove the someone whom bad memories with his life thats try to explain his experiences in tghis poem with spoke with using a word like brothers to draw that he is so worried when he listen about a brothers bad story. It is also call moral issue because author is very sad about with the other problems.

Secondly, out of the cradle and endlessly rockingtry to explain and tell about the others moral issues is called religion. the poem is tell the birth of poetry out of death. That is, author try to make dramatizes story with lost a good experiences. The character of this pooem try ignore with a human condition,  he didn’t believe about almighty or god in  the world .oand his love can’t come again, and also all of life is changed.

The last, the love story and lost a special person is related with a personal experiences story. In this poem Whitman records it, when  we read the poem in the specificity of its historical context, we find a democratic elegy written at a time of national crisis that unites all the elements, this poem has related to the division of the USA is not to divide is not to detract from its significance as a tale of love, loss, and artistic resolution but, rather, to recognize the historical roots of this elegy of dissolution in the state of the nation on the eve of the Civil War.this tell about Politic

Eventually , "Out of the Cradle" dominates the "Sea-Drift" grouping because it condenses Whitman's themes of love, death, loss, and their relation to language and poetry into a single setting and situation. On the beach at night, a curious boy wanders alone, witnessing two birds living and loving together. Then one vanishes, the other searches fruitlessly, the boy questions also only to hear the ocean's final assertion of death, and the man notes "My own songs awaked from that hour.

Final Article of “The Ship of Death”

D.H Lawrence The Ship of Death

By :  Ajeng Kurniasari               ( 20131111002)

        Encik Gaviani Warda      ( 20131111031)

           

            One of famous writer is David Herbert Richard Lawrence ( 11 September 1885- 2 March 1930 ) was an english novelist, poet , playwright , essaylist , literary critic and painter who published as D.H.Lawrence. His collected works , among other things, represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of moderinity and industrilialisation . In them , some of the issues Lawrence explores are emotional health , vitality , spontaneity , and instinct .

  D.H. Lawrence asks in his dark and compelling work of poetry entitled “The Ship of Death”. Written shortly before his own death in early 1930, the poem is divided into ten separate parts that proceed in what seems like a circular motion, efficiently chronicling the long and painful process of aging, the deceptive “suddenness” of death, and the pink, fleshy reappearance into the world with a miraculous rebirth. It centers itself around the images of a boat, our “ship of death” that allows the soul to survive the “soundless, ungurgling flood” that threatens to sweep us up and, if not for “the ship of death,” would swallow that little shred of ourselves that is left as the abysmal sea of eternity submerges “the last branches of the tree” of the individual’s earthly existence.

(Source : www.google.com )

            In that poem show that moral imagination especially in religion . That moral issue is shown for each word which are related of in the stanza. In moral

 religion are explain about “ Death “ . Death is the process that the soul of someone are leaving from the body , it can seen from the quotation below ,

"Now it is autumn and the falling fruit
and the long journey towards oblivion.

The apples falling like great drops of dew
to bruise themselves an exit from themselves.

And it is time to go, to bid farewell
to one's own self, and find an exit
from the fallen self.

From the quotation above , it can shown that the process of death from the sentence

“And it is time to go, to bid farewell , to one's own self, and find an exit, from the fallen self”

From the sentence , the “Death” is a time to say good bye from with theirs body , it means can show the proces before the soul are leaving from the body . sometimes the people who will die feel that situation . There are something wrong are losing from the body . And the person must be prepare for the death , it can seen frrom the quotation below ,

Have you built your ship of death, O have you?" [1]

"Build then the ship of death, for you must take
the longest journey, to oblivion.

From the quotation above , it can seen a word “ship”, it means a symbol as a place where the people wait the process of death to go the next destination , ship is a place as the station are death feeling , it can show from the quotation below ,

And die the death, the long and painful death
that lies between the old self and the new." [1]

"Piecemeal the body dies, and the timid soul
and our soul cowers naked in the dark rain over the flood,
cowering in the last branches of the tree of our life." [1]

             Im relogion that explain if the proces of “Death” are painful , it means how the souls are go off from the body , it can support from the statement “cowering in the last branches of the tree of our life." When the soul are leave the body especialy in the word the condition like

“in the last brach of tree” , it means it like a part of live where “Death” is a process which the people in the end position of the life a nd must be prepare of the live , it can shown in the seventh stanza , it can seen from the sentence ,

We’re dying ,we are dying , so all we can do

Is now to be willing to die , and build the ship

Of death to carry the soul on the longest journey

A little ship with oars , food , and little dishes , and all accountrements

Filting and ready for the departing soul

That’s explain if the people dying , They must prepare everything that taken when dying . it can shown from the symbols like “A little ship with oars , food , and little dishes , and all accountrements” , that describe a charity , goodness and worship which are they bring in the long journey , then its expalin that “Death” is the process which are the the end choise in the  life and the the end of life is “Death”, it can seen from the stanza ,

There is no port , there is nowhere to go

Only the deepaning blackness darkening still

And sideways litteraly dark , so there is no direction anymore

And everything is gone , the body is gone .

In the seventh stanza , in the sentence “there is no port , there is nowhere to go “, only the depaning blackness darkening still “. It can showing the blackness ans darkening meaning of “Death”. All of the life must be back because in the moral issue in Religion that “Death” is the process which are get the enternity of life in the nineth stanza it can seen from the quotation below ,

And yet out of enternity of thread

Separates itself on the blackness

A horizontal thread

That fumes a little that pallor upon the dark

The meaning of “The Ship of Death” is religious, because it draws upon traditional beliefs to shape its expression. Finally, “The Ship of Death” is less confidently a statement of certainty about religious hope for life eternal than it is about the stern necessity of psychological renewal in every person’s natural life. Perhaps each night’s sleep is a passage over the flood of death-darkness, so each morning is a survival of spirit from the death of the body in sleep’s oblivion.

The final of Article "The Garden of Love" by William Blake

Nurul Hidayati / 2012 1111 043
Farid A

The Garden of Love
I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.
And the gates of this Chapel were shut,
And ‘Thou shalt not’ writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.
And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires.

The garden of love poem is written by William Blake which is published in 1794 in Songs of Experiences, that poem is contained three stanzas. It is a simple poem that describe a symbol of belief. This poem is written in anger toward the Church. From the first Stanza, it can be seen the Garden of Love is a methapor for something that is important or having special meaning. it can be looked at third line “A Chapel was built in the midst”, from this utterance, the speaker try to describe his feeling how he was disappointed as something was destroyed or taken away from the speaker because of the Church , and continuing in the fourth line in first stanza “Where I used to play on the green”, it expresses the feeling that whatever in the Church where had taken away was something close by speaker.
In the second stanza, the speaker returned to the Garden of Love and he found out that the Chapel built there was closed, it is provides from the sentence “And the gates of  this Chapel was shut”  with the word “Thou shalt not” written over the door. The sentences means that “you shouldn’t do this or don’t do this”. In other word it is a place where people are not free to act. Those word could be speaker’s way of expressing to the many forbidden rules of the Anglican faith. Then “the Garden of Love “ is symbol of belief, there are religous thoughts behind those word like garden, and flower.
In the last stanza, the words are more harsh and rude like the word “grave, priests, black gown, and also briar. In these lines, the meaning is more negative which is more and more emotional and aggressive throught the poem. The sentence “Priests in Black gowns” means symbol of the orthodox Anglican Church in that era. The priest that is worn in black means the colour of sorrow. Then, the line “And binding by briars my joys and desires” means that the speaker suggests the life was being held back because of the Church. Using “briars” here means to confine any initiative toward freedom

Final Article of The Meadow Mouse by Theodore Roethke

Diah Widiastutik (20131111040)

Rusneesan Cheada (20131111015)

In a shoe box stuffed in an old nylon stocking

Sleeps the baby mouse I founding the meadow,

Where he trembled and shook beneath a stick

Till I caught him up by the tail and brought him in,

Cradled in my hand,

A little quaker, the whole body of him trembling,

His absurd whiskers sticking out like a cartoon-mouse,

His feet like small leaves,

Little lizard-feet,

Whitish and spread wide when he tried to struggle away,

Wriggling like a miniscule puppy.

Now he's eaten his three kinds of cheese and drunk from

his bottle-cap watering trough--

So much he just lies in one corner,

His tail curled under him, his belly big

As his head; his bat-like ears

Twitching, tilting toward the least sound.

Do I imagine he no longer trembles

When I Come close to him?

He seems no longer to tremble.

But this morning the shoe-box house on the back porch is

empty.

Where has he gone, my meadow mouse,

My thumb of a child that nuzzled in my palm?--

To run under the hawk's wing,

Under the eye of the great owl watching from the elm-tree,

To live by courtesy of the shrike, the snake, the tom-cat

I think of the nestling fallen into the deep grass,

The turtle gasping in the dusty rubble of the highway,

The paralytic stunned in the tub, and the water rising--

All things innocent, hapless, forsaken.

Analyzing:

“The Meadow Mouse” reflecting Theodore Roethke suffering with nature’s animals which he had found in a shoe box stuffed in an old nylon stocking which is trembling and shock between the stick in the meadow. Then suddenly he picked up the little mouse and hugs him tightly in his arms, while the whole body of the mouse is trembling, his absurd whiskers sticking out like a cartoon-mouse, his feet like small leaves, little lizard-feet, whitish and spread wide when he tried to struggle away, and wriggling like a miniscule puppy as he feels that the mouse as if it was as his child. In the first stanza, where Roethke used a lot of words like “baby”, “cradled”, “little” and “puppy” to explain to the readers that they able to tell that the poet treats and look at the meadow mouse as if he’s looking at a baby of his own. It is also like the poet has his flashback about his childhood memory.

Most of the people usually didn’t care about the meadow mouse. They usually questioning about why should they care about the meadow mouse? But in this poem, Roethke cares about the animal or the field mouse which is looks like his childhood. The poet expressing about how we can “imagine” another person feels by reading to it.

About the title it means that the mouse is a mouse that the poet found in a field where Roethke brings the field mouse home, feeds it, and gives it a shoe-box home for hoping that the little fellow will be even unafraid by then.

Do I imagine no he no longer trembles

When I come close to him?

He seems no longer to tremble

But in one morning, the box is empty, and the poet questions the mode of its going, fearing danger from the hawk, owl, shrike, snake, or tomcat. Then the tiny mouse’s danger causes him to think of all helpless creatures that the meadow mouse will get struggles which can cause bad effect to him.

I think of the nestling fallen into the deep grass,

The turtle gasping in the dusty rubble of the highway,

The paralytic stunned in the tub, and the water rising—

All things innocent, hapless, forsaken

In this poet there is no moral issue at all, but it is about love between human and animal. Roethke makes a human correlation that he discovery about human conditions and parental worries over a child. Even though the world is fraught with danger, in the natural scheme of things, every parent knows their child will leave the safe environment of home to seek his own fortune in this dangerous world and even though the dangers are real, a parent must let the child go for their good shakiness as same as the poet do to the field mouse.

 We can break our hearts loving this world, but it never glances in our direction, never returns our love. Still, we love, and some men which the poet itself rush to alleviate suffering and even to save the meadow mouse. I think most of us would willingly go forth with the poet to save the meadow mouse who is in danger and loneliness. As said in the poem that the meadow mouse is gone from the shoe-box, we’d imagine its making its way through the meadow while overhead the hawk, owl, and tomcat where we don’t know what will happen to him like in the last sentence “All things innocent, hapless, and forsaken.”

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE SONNET CXLVI

MILA KAMILIA (20131111003)

HANDOKO (20131111030)

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

        SONNET CXLVI

In this Sonnet which apparently stands alone, the poet reflects on the folly of bestowing excessive care on the body, the soul's outer covering and ministering servant.The sonnets were apparently composed during a period of ten or a dozen years starting in about 1592-1593.The general scope of the Sonnet was taken into account.Shakespeare have held the Sonnets to be merely dramatic and couldn’t have conceived that poems. So, this poem is ilustrate the spirit and inner meaning of Shakespeare's growth in life.

Firstly, a main register of the poem deals with religion. In lines one and two describe the soul is to be housed in the earth as well as in the center of body because it is indulged in the temporal. The individual are subsequently engaged in a war within itself between the desire for the transitory world versus the need for spirituality.This internal war between the soul and the body are hinted by the word “array” (line 2) which often connected with elements of war. It is inevitable battle that occurs between the soul and the bodyand God. So, the poet concernwith morality such us civil battle.

 Secondly, believesif theacceptance of themhadn’t involved the consequence of Shakespeare's intrigue with a married woman. The Sonnets have taken as speaking of Shakespeare's own lifeThe principal subject is manifestly the feeding of the body and soul. So,He is anxious to remove every stain that contends for a non-natural interpretation.

The last, talk about attitude in The late Dr. Ingle by maintained "that 'array' in this Sonnet means ill-treat or bring into evil condition" (Shakespeare: the Man and the Book, Pt. I. p. 166). But the context seems to preclude this meaning, whatever might be the possible sense of "array" in another connection.So, thesubsequent history of the text of the sonnets is inseparable from the history of Shakespeare’s reputation. The particular poems that in circulation suggest that the general shape and themes of the sonnets was established from the earliest stage

In conclusion“SONNET CXLVI” isthat the latter, not the former and to be fed.He expresses the resolution to attain immortality, by nourishing the soul at the body's expense.It is manifest that the second line as thus given is wrong, but how it is to be corrected is a matter concerning which the opinions of critics have very greatly varied.
