Love Flashcards
(5 cards)
Keats expresses that love is never truly dead, which emphasises the tragedy as they are separated on separate planes of existence
“twas love - ____, _____ indeed, but not _____”
“twas love - cold, dead indeed, but not dethroned”
Keats shows the love Isabella harbours, increasing the tragic experience
“she ____ its ____ hair with a ____ comb”
“she calmed its wild hair with a golden comb”
Keats conveys the extent of Isabella’s love for Lorenzo as she becomes absorbed by the pot of basil with his head in it. Keats does this through the endless listing, utilising the connective “and” repetitively
“And she ____ the stars, the ____, and sun, and she forgot the ____ above the ____, and she forgot the ____ where waters ____, and she forgot the ____ autumn breeze”
“And she forgot the stars, the moon, and the sun, and she forgot the blue above the trees, and she forgot the dells where waters run, and she forgot the chilly autumn breeze”
This quote relates to a foreshadowed one earlier, and how the plant flourishes - tragically, it is the only way their love can flourish
“with ____ tears, whence _____, and _____, and _____ it grew”
“with thin tears, whence thick, and green, and beautiful it grew”
This quote continues the tragedy, as it is only the thing that Lorenzo and Isabella can make
“the ____, safely _____, came forth, and in _____ leafits spread”
“the jewel, safely casketed, came forth, and in perfumed leafits spread”
