And though in his later years he revised his poems many times, the revisions did not alter the essential nature of the style which he had established before he was thirty ; ;

There are two ways of getting at a poet's development: through his dated poems, and through the revisions which he made in later editions of his work.

The dated poems also give us an idea of the degree to which Hardy drew upon past productions for his various volumes, and therefore probably are an indication of the amount of poetry he was writing at the time.

The details of the setting of `` Neutral Tones '' are not, strictly speaking, metaphorical, but they combine to create a mood which is appropriate both to a dismal winter day and to the end of love, and in this way love and weather, the emotions and the elements, symbolize each other in a way that is common to many of Hardy's best poems ( `` Weathers '', `` The Darkling Thrush '', and `` During Wind and Rain '', for example ) and to some moving passages in the novels as well ( Far From The Madding Crowd is full of scenes constructed in this way ).

The animistic idea as the representation of the imaginative reality, is sanctified in the Homeric poems and in Greek myths, in stories of the god Hephaestus ( Phaistos ) and the mythic Daedalus ( the builder of the labyrinth ) that made images which moved of their own accord.

The most important text for the study of early Korean is the Hyangga, a collection of 25 poems, of which some go back to the Three Kingdoms period ( 57 – 668 AD ), but are preserved in an orthography that only goes back to the 9th century AD ( Miller 1996: 60 ).

Her acquaintance with him parallels her writing a number of poems, which may suggest she fell in love with him.

An example of ancient aesthetics in Greece through poetry is Plato's quote: " For the authors of those great poems which we admire, do not attain to excellence through the rules of any art ; but they utter their beautiful melodies of verse in a state of inspiration, and, as it were, possessed by a spirit not their own.

After his death Housman's brother, Laurence, published further poems which appeared in More Poems ( 1936 ) and Collected Poems ( 1939 ).

John Sparrow found statements in a letter written late in Housman's life which describe how his poems came into existence:

Crowne have proposed the idea that the poem was passed down from reciter to reciter under the theory of oral-formulaic composition, which hypothesises that epic poems were ( at least to some extent ) improvised by whoever was reciting them.

His poems were highly regarded in his day, but are now mostly forgotten.

The poems were put to music, but the musical signs are no longer readable.

At this time, Homer's poems were used as textbooks for the study of Greek.

While " themes " ( inherited narrative subunits for representing familiar classes of event, such as the " arming the hero ", or the particularly well-studied " hero on the beach " theme ) do exist across Anglo-Saxon and other Germanic works, some scholars conclude that Anglo-Saxon poetry is a mix of oral-formulaic and literate patterns, arguing that the poems both were composed on a word-by-word basis and followed larger formulae and patterns.
