During the long journey of life, we experience many events that create profound impressions and effects that make us feel an emotional attachment to them. All of the poems have obvious recurring themes of emotional attachment, whether to an object, a person, or an idea. The selected poems include distinctive features where the character is tied to the memory of her mother like DH Lawrence, while another like Christina Rossetti wishes to be remembered by her lover. All of the poems use imagery to express emotions, ranging from very detached emotions, to feelings of safety and comfort. Remember, a sonnet written by Christina Rossetti. The eighth focuses on the theme of remembering the person after death; however the sextet counters and instead focuses on oblivion. The octave has a distinct rhyme; however the rhyme changes in the sextet. The reason for this may be because the person thinks back to his request to remember it and suddenly changes his reluctance and hesitation towards the topic of forgetting. The poem conveys her acceptance of death but also shows the theme of emotional attachment to her lover as she expresses her strong desire to be remembered by him. He described heaven as a “silent land” and the devil as “darkness and corruption.” The use of the metaphor “silent land” suggests a place devoid of sound, which emphasizes solitude and emptiness. Rossetti uses spiritual words and very vague words, such as “future” because she is unsure of the path ahead. He also expresses his need for support through the use of spiritual diction such as “counsel and pray” which implies asking God for guidance and his attachment to the Holy Spirit. The poem also uses a syntactical pattern in the center of the paper. In conclusion, the mood and meaning of the six poems are expressed through the selective use of diction. All poems use imagery to express their emotions about their attachment to a person or a period of time; these emotions range from feelings of detachment to feelings of security and comfort. Selective poems also use metaphors and similes to juxtapose positive and negative connotations and use structures and rhyme schemes to compare the past and present to emphasize the theme of attachment. In closing, a sense of loss can be felt after a long period of separation if you have an emotional attachment to a specific person or an attachment to an object. This pushes us to appreciate them as they are and educate ourselves to treasure our love towards them; so I believe that emotional connections with different times and people are very important to study.
