Poems

I found the poem “To His Coy Mistress “ a little realist due the fact that men try do anything to get a sexual relationship with a woman. We can see in this poem how desperate he is when he says “Time’s winged chariot hurrying near, And yonder all before us lie desert of vast eternity” by saying this the author is trying to convince the women that time is passing and she needs to harry up and show him her beauty. I like they way that in this poem the author put all his emotion and passion by being very kind and polite in order to get a woman’s virginity. In this poem I wonder if the speaker has already a relationship with his mistress more than a friendship, or if they just met at a certain place? I think this will change my perspective in how to analyze the poem.

In the second poem “My Life had stood a Loaded Master “, by Dickinson. My first question was who is the Master? Is the Master a man? Is the master a child? Is the master something that she learned how to do? The poem that Dickinson wrote showed us how the love of this women change when she found her master. By reading the poem I can assume that the master is a man which who she fall in love and she compares herself using a metaphor how her life was before meeting him such us a “loaded gun”.
