The Song of Wandering Aengus


1) Some rhyming words are “head” and “thread”, “trout” and “out”, “aflame” and
“name”, and “hair” and “air”. The effect that the rhyming words have on the
poem is that they make it more musical and memorable.
2) The 2 metaphors mean that the man hopes to find the girl. It also means that
the man has aged, and he's still determined to look for the young girl.
Sonnet 43
1) The example of a paradox in those lines are “all days are nights” and “nights
bright days”. They deepen the poet’s meaning by creating humor or a sense of
reality.
A: The single idea that is developed in the sonnet is that he is also looking for
someone in the night that he lost. The story says, “by looking on thee in the living
day, when in dead night thy fair imperfect shade”.
B: The poet is more hopeful about getting what he is longing for in “Sonnet 43”
because it says “but when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee, and, darkly bright,
are bright in dark directed”.
