Read the scenario of a formal discussion. Martin and Savannah are analyzing a poem. MARTIN: This poem is about hope. In the first line, the poet describes the rising sun as a "beacon of hope.” This imagery sets a positive mood to match the idea that the speaker is emerging from a time of struggle in his life.

SAVANNAH: I believe the poem has a darker theme. In line 6, the rising sun fades behind some thick, dark clouds. While I agree that the rising sun does symbolize hope, that hope quickly fades.

MARTIN: Yes, the sun does fade, but a glimpse of the sun was enough to spark new hope in the speaker. Line 7 explains how the speaker emerges from his house to venture out into the world again. He is doing this despite the sun fading behind the clouds.

This excerpt is from “the poet” by alfred, lord tennyson. the poem describes a poet's consciousness and perception. which three lines suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts? thus truth was multiplied on truth, [the world like one great garden show'd,] and thro' the wreaths of floating dark upcurl'd, rare sunrise flow'd. [and freedom rear'd in that august sunrise] her beautiful bold brow, when rites and forms before his burning eyes melted like snow. [there was no blood upon her maiden robes] sunn'd by those orient skies; but round about the circles of the globes of her keen eyes and in her raiment's hem was traced in flame wisdom, a name to shake [all evil dreams of power--a sacred name.] and when she spake, [her words did gather thunder as they ran,] and as the lightning to the thunder which follows it, riving the spirit of man, making earth wonder, so was their meaning to her words. no sword of wrath her right arm whirl'd, [ but one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word] she shook the world.
