    Break Break Break

    "Break, Break, Break" by Alfred Lord Tennyson is a poignant poem about mourning and the pain of losing a loved one. The poet reflects on the relentless waves crashing against the shore, using them as a symbol of his inner grief. While the world continues,children play, fishermen go about their day,he feels emotionally frozen, overwhelmed by the absence of a dear friend. Tennyson expresses a deep longing for "the touch of a vanished hand" and "the sound of a voice that is still," capturing the silent ache of bereavement and the contrast between personal sorrow and the indifferent flow of life.

    How do I love thee?

    Can you count the number of ways by which you express your love for your beloved? Or are there countless ways? "How do I love thee?’ was written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, a great poet of the Victorian era. ‘How Do I Love Thee’ is a famous love poem and was first published in a collection, Sonnets from the Portuguese in 1850. The poem deals with the speaker’s passionate adoration of her beloved with vivid pictures of her eternal bond that will keep her connected to her beloved even after death. Love and faith are the major themes filling this poem. The poem is primarily concerned with the love of the speaker with her significant other.

    “Porphyria’s Lover”

    Would a lover give love in return of love or something more painful than that? One that you can't even imagine, one that will freeze the consciousness of an instant. “Porphyria’s Lover,” which first appeared in 1836, is one of the earliest and most shocking of Browning’s dramatic monologues. The speaker lives in a cottage in the countryside. His lover, a blooming young woman named Porphyria, comes in out of a storm and proceeds to make a fire and bring cheer to the cottage. She embraces the speaker, offering him her bare shoulder. Realizing that she will eventually give in to society’s pressures, and wanting to preserve the moment, he wraps her hair around her neck and strangles her. He then toys with her corpse, opening the eyes and propping the body up against his side. He sits with her body this way the entire night, the speaker remarking that God has not yet moved to punish him.
