| | | | | Poems on death: Encyclopedia II - The Lady of Shalott - Overview The poem (of which Tennyson wrote two versions: one in 1833, of twenty verses, the other in 1842 of nineteen verses) is commonly believed to have been loosely based upon a story from Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur concerning Elaine of Astolat, a maiden who falls in love with Lancelot, but dies of grief when he cannot return her love. However, Tennyson himself said that the poem was based on a thirteenth-century Italian novelette entitled Donna di Scalotta, which focuses on the lady's death and her reception at Camelot rather than her isolation in the tower and her decision to participate in the living world, two su ...

| | | | | Poems on death: Encyclopedia II - Abu Nuwas - Exile and Imprisonment Abu Nuwas was forced to flee to Egypt for a time, after he wrote an elegiac poem praising the Barmakis, the powerful family which had been crushed and massacred by the caliph, Harun al-Rashid. He returned to Baghdad in 809 upon the death of Haroun al-Rashid. The subsequent ascension of Muhammad al-Amin, Haroun al-Rashid's twenty-two-year-old libertine son (and a former student of Abu Nuwas) was a mighty stroke of luck for Abu Nuwas. In fact, most scholars believe that Abu Nuwas wrote most of his poems during the reign of Al-Amin, a caliph wh ...

| | | | | Poems on death: Encyclopedia II - Wilfred Owen - Poetry Owen is regarded by some as the leading poet of the First World War, known for his war poetry on the horrors of trench and gas warfare. Most of his poetry was published posthumously. He is also well-known for his preface, written in May 1918 for a collection of war poems he hoped to publish in 1919.
Sassoon had a profound effect on Owen's poetic voice, and Owen's most famous poems (Dulce et Decorum Est and Anthem for Doomed Youth) show direct results of Sassoon's influence. Owen's poetry would eventually be more widely a ...

| | | | | Poems on death: Encyclopedia II - Mathurin Régnier - Works About the time of his death numerous collections of licentious and satirical poems were published, while others remained in manuscript. Gathered from these there has been a floating mass of licentious epigrams, etc., attributed to Régnier, little of which is certainly authentic, so that it is very rare to find two editions of Régnier which exactly agree in contents. His undoubted work falls into three classes: regular satires in alexandrine couplets, serious poems in various metres, and satirical or jocular epigrams and light pieces, which often, if not always ...

| | | | | Poems on death: Encyclopedia II - Tomte - The modern tomte In the 1840's the farm's "nisse" became the bearer of Christmas presents in Denmark, and was then called "julenisse". In 1881, the Swedish magazine Ny Illustrerad Tidning published Viktor Rydberg's poem Tomten, where the tomte is alone awake in the cold Christmas night, pondering the mysteries of life and death. This poem featured the first painting by Jenny Nyström of this traditional Swedish mythical character which she turned into the white-bearded, red-capped friendly figure associated with Christmas ever since. Shortly af ...

| | | | | Poems on death: Encyclopedia II - Pat Ingoldsby - Pat's influences Most of Pat's poems are about his personal experiences, observations of life in Dublin, or mildly surreal humorous possibilities.
Topics of personal experiences vary from the death of his father, or the electroshock therapy he received (circa 1988), to his appreciation of the natural world or his pets.
Observations of Dublin are mostly humorous conversations overheard on the bus, or the characters he sees and talks to while selling his books. Some observations are not so cheerful as he also sees the drunks and the homeless of Dublin city, and the some asp ...

| | | | | Poems on death: Encyclopedia II - The Raven - Interpretation The poem, like other works by Poe such as "The Black Cat", "The Imp of the Perverse" and "The Tell-Tale Heart", is a study of guilt or "perverseness" (in Poe's own words, "The human thirst for self-torture"). Although we are told in those stories that the narrators have killed someone, in "The Raven" we are only told that the narrator has lost his love, Lenore (imported from an earlier poem, "Lenore" (1831) which was itself a massive reworking of "A Paean"; both are also about the death of a young woman). His reaction to the loss has been co ...

| | | | | Poems on death: Encyclopedia II - Miguel de Unamuno - Poetry For Unamuno, art was a way of expressing spiritual problems. His themes were the same in his poetry as in his novels: spiritual anguish, the pain provoked by the silence of God, time and death.
Unamuno was always attracted to traditional meters and, though his early poems did not rhyme, he subsequently turned to rhyme in his later works.
Among his outstanding works of poetry are:
Poesías (Poems), (1907) — his first collection of poetry, in which he outlined the themes that would dominate his poetic ...

| | | | | | Poems on death: Encyclopedia II - The Waste Land - The Manuscript Drafts of the Poem Eliot sent the manuscript drafts of the poem to John Quinn in October 1922; they reached Quinn in New York in January 1923. On Quinn's death they were inherited by his daughter, Julia Anderson. Years later, in the early 1950's, Mrs Anderson's daughter, Mary Conroy, found the documents in storage. In 1958 she sold them privately to the New York Public Library. It wasn't until April 1968 that the existence and whereabouts of the manuscript drafts was made known to Valerie Eliot, the poet's second wife and widow.
In 1971, Faber and Faber publishe ...
