Conflict between nature and man

Ozymandias (Shelley)- ''A shattered visage lies'- ''Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'/ Nothing beside remains.'- ''Round the decay/ Of that colossal wreck...The lone and level sands stretch far away.'

The Prelude (Wordsworth)- '(led by her)'-'As I rose upon the stroke, my boat / Went heaving through the water like a swan.'- 'A huge peak, black and huge...Upreared its head.'- 'Like a living thing/Strode after me.'- 'With trembling oars I turned, / And through the silent water stole my way'- 'Were a trouble to my dreams.'

Storm on the Island (Heaney)- 'We are prepared: we build our houses squat, / Sink walls in rock'- 'You can listen to the thing you fear / Forgetting that it pummels your house too.'- 'no natural shelter.''You might think that the sea is company...But no...the flung spray...spits like a tame cat/turned savage.''We are bombarded by the empty air.''Strange, it is a huge nothing that we fear.

Internal conflict

Remains (Armitage)- 'probably armed, possibly not.'- 'All three of us open fire.'- 'I swear / I see every round as it rips through his life- 'He's there on the ground, sort of inside out, /pain itself, the image of agony.'-'His blood-shadow stays on the street...I walk right over it week after week.'- 'He's here in my head when I close my eyes, / dug in behind enemy lines'-'His bloody life in my bloody hands.'

The Emigree (Rumens)- 'There once was a country...'- 'The worst news I receive of it cannot break / my original view, the bright, filled paperweight'- 'It may be at war, it may be sick with tyrants, / but I am branded by an impression of sunlight.'- 'The white streets of that city...glow'- 'I have no passport, there's no way back at all'- 'It lies down in front of me...I comb its hair and love its shining eye.'- 'They accuse me of absence, they circle me.'- 'My city hides behind me.'

Kamikaze- 'half way there, she thought, /recounting it later to her children, / he must have looked down...and remembered'- 'like a huge flag waved first one way/ then the other'- 'they treated him as though he no longer existed, / only we children still chattered and laughed / till gradually we too learned/ to be silent''And sometimes, she said, he must have wondered / which had been the better way to die.'

War

The Charge of the Light Brigade (Tennyson)- 'Into the valley of Death / Rode the six hundred'- 'Was there a man dismay'd? /Not though the soldier knew / Someone had blunder'd'- 'Theirs not to make reply, / Theirs not to reason why, / Theirs but to do and die;'- 'Storm'd at with shot and shell,/ Boldly they rode and well'- 'Flash'd all their sabres bare,/Flash'd as they turn'd in air''O the wild charge they made!''Honour the Light Brigade,/ Noble six hundred!'

Exposure (Owen)- 'The merciless iced east winds that knive us'- 'But nothing happens'- 'incessantly, the flickering gunnery rumbles,/ Far off, like a dull rumour of some other war.'- 'What are we doing here?'- 'Sudden successive flights of bullets streak the silence. /Less deadly that the air that shudders black with snow,'- 'We cringe in holes'- 'Slowly our ghosts drag home/ On us the doors are closed.'- 'For love of God seems dying.'

Bayonet Charge (Hughes)- ' Suddenly he awoke and was running - raw'- 'Hearing / Bullets smacking the belly out of the air-'- 'The patriotic tear that had brimmed in his eye/Sweating like molten iron from the centre of his chest.'- 'the shot-slashed furrows /Threw up a yellow hare that rolled like a flame'- 'King, honour, human dignity, etcetera/ Dropped like luxuries''His terror's touchy dynamite.'

Poppies (Weir)- 'I traced the inscriptions on the war memorial, / leaned against it like a wishbone.''I listened, hoping to hear/ your playground voice on the wind.''Poppies had already been placed/ on individual war graves. Before you left / I pinned one onto your lapel'

Conflict with societyLondon (Blake)- 'Chartered street...the chartered Thames.'- 'In every voice...the mind-forged manacles I hear.'- 'How the chimney sweeper's cry / Every black'ning church appalls'- 'The hapless soldier's sigh / Runs in blood down palace walls.'

War Photographer- 'In his darkroom he is finally alone- 'his hands, which did not tremble then / though seem to now.'- 'Home again / to ordinary pain.'- 'A hundred agonies in black and white / from which his editor will pick out five or six.'- 'The reader's eyeballs prick/ with tears between the bath and pre-lunch beers.'- 'He stares impassively at where / he earns his living and they do not care.'

Checking Out Me History (Agard)- 'Dem tell me/ Wha dem want to tell me'- 'Bandage up me eye with me own history / Blind me to me own identity'- 'Dem tell me bout de dish ran away with de spoon / but dem never tell me bout Nanny de maroon'- 'Nanny / see-far woman / of mountain dream'- 'Now I checking out me own history / I carving out me identity'

Power of nature and the natural world

- 'Maps too. The sun shines through / their borderlines'- 'If buildings were paper, I might / feel their drift, see how easily / they fall away on...a shift / in the direction of the wind.'- 'Let the daylight break / through capitals and monoliths, / through the shapes that pride can make'

My Last Duchess (Browning) - 'She had a heart - how shall I say? - too soon made glad'- 'As if she ranked/ My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name/ With anybody's gift.'-'Who'd stoop to blame/ This sort of trifling?'- 'E'en then would be some stooping; and I choose/Never to stoop.'- 'This grew; I gave commands;/ Then all smiles stopped together.'- 'There she stands as if alive.'

Exposure (Owen)- 'The merciless iced east winds that knive us'- 'Dawn massing in the east her melancholy army /Attacks once more'- the flickering gunnery rumbles,/ Far off, like a dull rumour of some other war.'- 'Sudden successive flights of bullets streak the silence. /Less deadly that the air that shudders black with snow,'- 'We cringe in holes'- 'Tonight, His frost will fasten on this frost and us.'

Tissue (Dharker)- 'Maps too. The sun shines through / their borderlines'- 'If buildings were paper, I might / feel their drift, see how easily / they fall away on...a shift / in the direction of the wind.'- 'Let the daylight break / through capitals and monoliths, / through the shapes that pride can make'

Kamikaze- ' enough fuel for a one-way / journey into history'- ' he must have looked far down / at the little fishing boats / strung out like bunting'- ' the dark shoals of fishes / flashing silver'- 'build cairns of pearl-grey pebbles / to see whose withstood lingest / the turbulent inrush of breakers'- 'once/ a tuna, the dark prince, muscular, dangerous.'

UNSEEN POETRY PRACTICE – AND COMPARISON

A MARRIAGE

You are holding up a ceilingwith both arms. It is very heavy,but you must hold it up, or elseit will fall down on you. Your armsare tired, terribly tired,and, as the day goes on, it feelsas if either your arms or the ceilingwill soon collapse.

But then,unexpectedly,something wonderful happens:Someone,a man or a woman,walks into the roomand holds their arms upto the ceiling beside you.

So you finally getto take down your arms.You feel the relief of respite,the blood flowing backto your fingers and arms.And when your partner's arms tire,you hold up your ownto relieve him again.

And it can go on like thisfor many yearswithout the house falling.

By Michael Blumenthal

Part A What is the writer’s view of marriage and how does he present his ideas? (24 marks)

A Marriage – From a Chinese poem

When two people are at one in their inmost hearts,they shatter even the strength of iron or bronze.And when two people understand each other in their inmost hearts,their words are sweet and strong,like the fragrance of orchids.

Part BWhat are the similarities and differences in the ways the writers present their ideas about marriage?(8 marks)

The Sea

The sea is a hungry dog, Giant and grey.He rolls on the beach all day.With his clashing teeth and shaggy jawsHour upon hour he gnawsThe rumbling, tumbling stones, And 'Bones, bones, bones, bones! 'The giant sea-dog moans, Licking his greasy paws.

And when the night wind roarsAnd the moon rocks in the stormy cloud, He bounds to his feet and snuffs and sniffs, Shaking his wet sides over the cliffs, And howls and hollos long and loud.

But on quiet days in May or June, When even the grasses on the dunePlay no more their reedy tune, With his head between his pawsHe lies on the sandy shores, So quiet, so quiet, he scarcely snores.

James Reeves

Part A;What methods does the poet use to create an image of the sea?(24 marks)

The FogBY CARL SANDBURG

The fog comes on little cat feet.

It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.

Part B. What are the similarities and differences in how the poets write about nature?(8 marks)

Part A : How does the poet present ideas about living and working in London? (24 marks)LONDON: LONDON, my beautiful, it is not the sunset nor the pale green sky shimmering through the curtain

of the silver birch, 5

nor the quietness; it is not the hopping of birds upon the lawn, nor the darkness 10stealing over all things that moves me. But as the moon creeps slowly over the tree-tops among the stars, 15I think of her and the glow her passing sheds on men. London, my beautiful, I will climb 20into the branches to the moonlit tree-tops, that my blood may be cooled

by the wind.

Part B What are the similarities and differences in how the poets present views of London? (8marks)
