the blessed damzoel and the raven

         The Blessed Damzoel is about a woman that is separated by the man she loves. The love between them will always live on. She hopes one day that they will reunite in heaven. She also had to leave her friends and family and she felt as if she hasn't seen them for ten years. The man she loved, she felt as if she hasn't seen him in 10 years of years. She when to a rampart built by God around heaven. This rampart lies between space and the inner regions of heaven. When he does arrive someday in a white robe with a halo around his head, they will go hand-in-hand into heaven and bathe in the wondrous light of God. She then will teach her beloved the songs that she sings, and he will pause as he sings to absorb the knowledge that they contain. The young man on earth wonders whether God will invite him to enjoy endless unity with his beloved. The Damozel will speak with pride of her love for the young man, and Mary will approve and will take them to the place where all souls kneel around God while angels sing. The young man imagines he sees her smile. But then she casts her arms down on the golden banister and weeps. He hears her tears. The story in this pomes is about true that can’t be in till they meet again some day in heaven.

           The Raven is about a midnight on a cold evening in December in the 1840s. In a dark and shadowy bedroom, wood burns in the fireplace as a man laments the death of Lenore, a woman he deeply loved. To occupy his mind, he reads a book of ancient stories. But a tapping noise disturbs him. When he opens the door to the bedroom, he sees nothing–only darkness. When the tapping persists, he opens the shutter of the window and discovers a raven, which flies into the room and lands above the door on a bust of Pallas. The goddess of wisdom and war in Greek mythology. It says “Nevermore” to all his thoughts and longings. The raven, a symbol of death, tells the man he will never again ("nevermore") see his beloved, never again hold her–even in heaven.

        The comparison in The Raven and The Blessed Damzoel is that they both are separated from the ones they love. They both think of the memories that they had. They are both tragic love stories. They both feel as if they be away from the ones they love forever. They both want to be Reunited with both of there loves ones. They both want to meet there love one in heaven some day.


        The difference in the two poems is that in The Blessed Damzoel she talks about how she will get to see her true love in heaven some day. In The Raven, the raven come and tell him that he will be with here never more, not even in heaven. Both poems are about love that can not be but in one of the poems they might reunite in heaven again. Also in The Blessed Damzoel is that she was the one who had to leave them. She also had to leave her friend and family to. In The Raven he doesn’t have to leave anyone in his poem. His true love dies.

            These two poems are about losing the ones they love. In The Blessed Damzoel she still has hope and faith that she will see her true love again. In The Raven the raven tells him that he will never see his true love in heaven. Some say that The Blessed Damzoel is a sequel to The Raven.

I am a part of who all I have met...

When I was fourteen my dad died a lot has change I have to go though stuff that has change my life. To me I had to mature more and help take care of my brother. In that time I moved in with my aunt she help me though a lot. Having my dad in my life has taught be about courage, bravery and sacrifice.
