What type of poem is The Prelude
Bildungsroman
What two quotes show his naivety and confidence
‘One summer evening (led by her)’
‘The horizon’s utmost boundary; far above
Was nothing but the stars and the grey sky’
What use of the moon romanticizes the beginning of the poem
Small circles glittering idly in the moon
until they melted all into one track
Of sparkling light
What follows ‘I struck and struck again’
‘And growing still in stature the grim shape
Towered up between me and the stars’
What is before ‘I struck and struck again’
Upreared its head.
What hung over him
O’er my thoughts
there hung a darkness
What is the repetiton of no
No familiar shapes
remained, no pleasant images of trees
Of sea or sky, no colours of green fields
How does he describe nature and what were they
But huge and mighty forms, thay do not live
like living men, moved slowly through the mind
By day, and were a trouble to my dreams
What does free verse and enjambment add to this poem
gives it a rambling tone like he needs to get it out of hi
