Modernist poem

1)moths with stars is the fact that they are usually seen only at night, and are then associated with light, then the poem does not ask us to observe this association, merely to see ‘star-eaten’ as breathing new life and warmth into the lifeless and fusty old cliché that is ‘moth-eaten’. The suggestion of the poem – again, what it says without saying – is that the speaker is homeless. good poetry deals with the necessary and includes only what is necessary. Hulme pushes this point home by choosing ‘fiddles’ and ‘gold heels’ as the images with which he rejects sound and sight respectively; both are associated with luxury, with what is not necessary but merely desired. But warmth is something different: warmth is not only desired but needed for us to live.

2)The poet express about loneliness or emptiness.when he passes from the street he found a star but when he goes near ,it is not star but a silver ribbon.Star is a symbol of brightness or hope but the poet can not see it for long time.

3) poem is about loneliness .The white moon is a symbol of peace or brightness.In the other side the lovers are burning it means the heart of the lovers are burning.

4)Pound connects images of petals and boughs to a mass of humanity - linking a man-made metropolitan scene with the cycles of nature. Pound's use of living metaphors adds to the fleeting tone of this poem. Flowers and trees, like human beings on a metro, are constantly moving, growing, and changing. This short glimpse through the metro doors is the only time that group of people will be as they are in that instant. Similarly, no two petals will ever look exactly the same, as rains come and go, winters freeze, and new buds bloom.

5)poet is puzzled by a pool which comes alive with he touches it.The pool is banded in night and dark depending on movement like fish it reflects poets feelings.The cover could represent something which has gotten into the pool and died--it symbolizing a death shroud for the "banded one."

6)The poem represents about war.Here poet says that he is tired and he want freedom or he wants to free from his responsibility

7)The images in the poem is the idea of feelings and emotions of sympathy.Eliot has also used a metaphor of the working classes, the "housemaids". Also using symbolic words, such as "fog" and the "window". The alliteration is used to help the rhythm flow when real aloud. I like the poem because Eliot is not criticizing society; he is just merely observing society. Although Eliot has not given a solution for these people in his poem, he has attempted the first step to any solution, he has observed society.

8)The Red Wheelbarrow,” Williams discovers an aesthetic pattern and sensory pleasure in an ordinary sight. The poem—or the moment of perception it reports—evokes no cultural traditions or literary associations. The absence of these is strongly noticed, however, for if the poem is an immediate experience, it is also a demonstration and argument.

9)The poem begins by telling us of an incident in the past. Once he kept a big and beautiful jar upon an untidy hill in Tennessee. It was a beautiful round jar, reminding one of the Grecian urns of Keats. We are asked to imagine a kind of enormous hand placing a round jar on a hill. The jar is an art object made by a human being, whereas the hill on which it is placed is natural. This contrast becomes more striking as the poem develops. The persona of the poem tells us that the man made jar caused the wilderness to surround the hill, or that the hill looked more untidy in contrast to the jar.

10The fragmentation of the word loneliness is especially significant, since it highlights the fact that that word contains the word one. In addition, the isolated letter l can initially appear to be the numeral one. It creates the effect that the leaf is still one, or "oneliness" whole within itself, even after it is isolated from the tree.
