Polarity

Nay, why reproach each other, be unkind, For there's no plane on which we two maymeet? Let's both forgive, forget, for both were blind, And life is of a day, andtime is fleet. And I am fire, swift to flame and burn, Melting with elements highoverhead, While you are water in an earthly urn, All pure, but heavy, and of hue like lead. Analysis a.The allusion in this poem would be him referring himself as fire and the otherpersonbeing water b.A tone word for this poem could be docile because in the third line in the first stanza he is trying to get along and just forget the fight, which is docile. c.Some figurative language could be a metaphor saying " I am fire, swift to flame and burn, Melting with elements high overhead, While you are water in an earthly urn, All pure, but heavy, and of hue like lead." d.A good theme for this poem could be is forgive and forget because he is tryingto stop there dispute and be kind, but the other person doesnt. e.My interpretation of this poem is that there is a dispute between 2 people andone is trying to settle there problems and just act like nothing ever happened,but the other is still trying to argue.
