Stevens and Moore

in the poem The Idea of Order At Key WEst had a rhythem to it in which made it sound as though it were a song. The poem What are years?, also shares this rhythem. Both pieces of work express how the person in them sings a song. Stevens expresses this in great depth with the girl singing a song and when the sound stops everything apears to be different, but Moore uses this as the bird sings and the more it sings the better it becomes and the larger it becomes. Stevens poem was made long with lots of description of its surroundings. Moore's had fragments that just lead you to an end. Sound is used in each to help apeal you to read it as well as sound as in singing has a meaning in both pieces. in all I'm not quite sure to be honest where they are divergent and all, but I do know these 2 pieces of poetry do compair because of sound.

The Wast Land

The Waste Land is quite different from most of the other modernist pieces of work that we have already read. In The Waste Land T.S. Eliot used pieces of different languages to throw you off a bit in the reading. It was a free verse narrative as most of the other modernist pieces of work were, but it was in a sense different. It was hard to follow personally for me, but I did take in that there was a conflict. As many of the other modernist pieces of work had, it talked about blood and surrendering. I think because it was written during the war time also this is what made it a modernist piece of work. Eliot uses the role of a woman as well as many of the other authors did during this time period for example Parker and Taggard also did in many of their poems. Through out most of Eliot's work it did not have a rhyme scheme.. some parts essentially did but not all. I have to admit that I did not understand most of Eliot's piece of work. I understood parts but not totally. I do know it was in a time of battle and that the modernists show parts of their earth of what they see at the moment as Eliot did, but they did not explain it in detail to let you know their surroundings. In all Eliots piece in many ways associates with the modernists that we have already read in a few ways such as free verse, no rhyme scheme, and showing a conflict but not telling in great detail what it is.
