I think she got it from a book which I dont mind, she just asked after it if it made sense and I just wanted another opinion.
"I picture your face in the back of my eyes, a fire in the attic a proof prize."
I took it as she can see me when she closes her eyes my image burnt into her mind, showing Im a proven prize.
What do you think.

Are you enjoying it?

I've just finished reading the 'Otori Trilogy' by Lian Hearn. It was a very well written parody of ancient Japan and the political and religious elements of the culture at the time. I'm now reading 'Utterly Monkey' by Nick Laird.

Can any one identify a probable theme and explain what clues the author gives that helps the reader to receive the message.

I read this over 30 years ago & it was an old book then. It tells of a channel that opens in either the Arctic or the Antarctic that leads to a forgotten land heated by volcanic activity. It's of story of some people who accidentally find the channel & sail up it. I'd love to read it again but really need the name of the author .... anyone able to help at all?

I'd especially like to hear of lesser known ones from around the same age as Shakespeare more or less. Possibly some foreign ones and such. Basically, the kind of stuff found in the 800's section of the library.

There will be more.

Golden cups shine
Once filled with wine
In this dragon's lair.

Traps surround his hoard.
Indeed, he looks quite bored,
For no one has got'n past them yet.

His eyes open wide.
An arrow's bounced off his hide
But it's splintered in two.

A gleaming, silver sword now flies
Through the air and toward his eyes,
Swiftly gouging one out.

A valiant knight,
With clearly no fright,
Has got'n past the traps that were laid!

The knight's new sword
Is one from the hoard.
Ah, it's royal indeed!

Runes on its hilt and golden blade
By royal men of old were made
To vanquish those who felt its bite.

It talks all about what the girl's faith means to her, but I don't remember the name of the author. I read it online. If you can find it, I'd be really grateful.

The houses are haunted
By white night-gowns.
None are green,
Or purple with green rings,
Or green with yellow rings,
Or yellow with blue rings.
None of them are strange,
With socks of lace
And beaded ceintures.
People are not going
To dream of baboons and periwinkles.
Only, here and there, an old sailor,
Drunk and asleep in his boots,
Catches Tigers
In red weather.

GRACE IN DEATH

Sadness engulfs me,
cloaks my soul in velvet darkness.
My melancholy as keen as the dagger plunged through my heart by your hand.
Red blood escapes from its pumping prison,
Sealing my fate.
My eyes linger on your beautiful face,
Made twisted by your boundless hate.
Blackness encroaches my vision,
Lining it with the cruel reality of death.
As my last breath escapes my cold lungs,
I can't resist one last, seemingly prophetic remark.
"See you in hell."

I know someone answered this poem with a great analysis of "A Noiseless Patient Spider" by Walt Whitman. I have been trying to delve deeper and find how literary terms contribute to the overall meaning of the poem

A Noiseless Patient Spider
A noiseless patient spider,
I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul

If anyone sees any other ways I can use literary terms such as alliteration, assonance and how they contribute to the overall meaning of the poem, please answer!
