So, are you going to help this guy or not?
Well I said I would so I guess I have to now
Ok. One aspect of Ode on Melancholy concerns a contradiction between the traditional emblems of melancholy and those the poet suggests [we] use instead.
In stanza one the traditional emblems are dismissed. In 2 (when becoming melancholy I suggest -you-) use the tradional emblem of love (rose) of peace and of eternity (a rainbow on a sea wave) again of love (your mistress's eyes, although here she's angry!)-- feed on these, instead..
In the final stanza 'Melancholy' herself is introduced
>She dwells in Beauty -- Beauty that must die;
>And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips
>Bidding adieu...
This image of joy- of YOUR moving away from a loved person (you) will never see again, who is in fact blowing (you) a kiss is perfect; and the VACANT one of beauty (for it is both 'truth' as well as 'in the eye of the beholder') of whom all the poet can say is that she 'must die'- are Melancholy's companions. But once introduced (or 'personified') she, M, immediately disappears-
>Ay, in the very temple of delight
>Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine,
>Though seen of none save him...
Except him- except the one who experiences the utmost of pleasure- of the rose and of the woman's eyes, as it were, and of ALL that they suggest. What they once suggested was subverted in stanza 2, recall. Etc.
After a short discussion of this poem and its very obvious subversion of the traditional (emblems or metaphors or motifs), scan the other odes for similar undoings then build a conclusion. From Melancholy go to Urn then Autumn. Viola: a fun 15 page paper.
--9642 addressed to (you) but tabbed myself, accidentally. Hope it's clear enough. Done quickly.
I love (you), but I'll look at your post tomorrow cause I have to die for 12 hours. I can't thank you much for now though. Thanks anyway.
Youre welcome. Good luck.
