What is the concept?
Which element of language did all the “yes” lines of poetry contain?
They all make use of a figure of speech called apostrophe.
An apostrophe is a figure of speech in which the writer addresses an absent
person, object, animal, or abstract concept.
“ O sylvan Wye! Thou wanderer through the woods…””Tintern Abbey” Wordsworth
“Death, be not proud…” “Holy Sonnet 10” Donne
“Little Lamb, who made thee?” “The Lamb” Blake
“Milton! Thou should be living at this hour…” “London, 1802” Wordsworth
“With how sad steps, Oh Moon, thou climb’st the skies!” “from Astrophel and Stella Sonnet 31” Sir Philip Sidney
In the lines below the use of apostrophe has been highlighted.
1 archer, Cupid1 descries, reveals1 Do … ungratefulness, Do they call ungratefulness a virtue there?
From “Astrophel and Stella”Sonnet 31
With how sad steps, Oh, Moon, thou climb’st theskies!How silently and how wan a face!What, may it be that even in heavenly placeThe busy archerWhat, may it be that even in heavenly placeHow silently and how wan a face!
The poem below makes extensive use of apostrophe. Although the highlighted words indicate the direct addresses, there are
indirect addresses to the moon as well.
What, may it be that even in heavenly placeThe busy archer1 his sharp arrow tries?Sure, if that long-with-love acquainted eyesCan judge of love, thou feel’st a lover’s case,I read it in thy looks – thy languished graceTo me, that feel the like, thy state descries.2
Then, even of fellowship, Oh Moon, tell me,Is constant love deemed there but want of wit?Are beauties there as proud as here they be?Do they above love to be loved, and yetThose lovers scorn whom love doth possess?Do they call virtue there ungratefulness?3
1 archer, Cupid2 descries, reveals3 Do … ungratefulness, Do they call ungratefulness a virtue there?
1 archer, Cupid 2 descries, reveals 3 Do … ungratefulness, Do they
call ungratefulness a virtue there?
This slide should
include a paragraph explaining the effect of the use of apostrophe in the
preceding poem.
