It's from a poem by Tennyson titled “Lancelot and Elaine”. Elaine is not one of the main characters in King Arthur, but its story is quite poignant. I don’t want to go into it fully, because then this will be too long. But you need to know about these two in order to understand the verse. Elaine was in love with Lancelot, but he was in love with Genivere who was married to King Arthur. Look at the preceding verses: She (Elaine) might have made this and that other world Another world for the sick man (Lancelot); but now The shackles of ...(Answered by yiqqahah)

A.
Tone The poem communicates an attitude about imagination and reality. The choice of certain words and certain details makes it clear that the speaker prefers imagination but is aware of reality. This is an example of how to answer this question. Refer to the poem you are reading and you say: This is a mans story during war. He is on the run and has love for a brave woman. Loss...It is clear what his fate is. Lovely poem. Dark and Wet, dripping with ghostly images and the sound of war. Tlot-tlot; tlot-tlot! Had they heard it?

A.
You do not need to give sources for familiar proverbs, well-known quotations or common knowledge. Remember, this is a rhetorical choice, based on audience. If you're writing for an expert audience of a scholarly journal, they'll have different expectations of what constitutes common knowledge. http://www.jeteye.com/jetpak/d77cb1d1-e900-4a1e-842a-4561e149484b/ Therefore you do not have to document this quote. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/...(Answered by Melli)

The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock? I am analyzing this poem for an English class, and I understand most of it, but I have been unable to figure out the significance of the repeated quote: "In the room the women come and go Talking of Michelangelo." If anyone has read this poem, I would greatly appreciate any help that you can give me. If you haven't read it, I don't expect you to because it is so long, but I included a link anyway. Thanks in advance for any help! ... (Asked by Becca)

A.
Prufrock's continual return to the "women [who] come and go / Talking of Michelangelo" and his recurrent questionings ("how should I presume?") and pessimistic appraisals ("That is not it, at all.") both reference an earlier poetic tradition and help Eliot describe the consciousness of a modern, neurotic individual. Prufrock's obsessiveness is aesthetic, but it is also a sign of compulsiveness and isolation. Another important formal feature is the use of fragments of sonnet form, particularly at the poem's conclusion. http://www.sparknotes.com/poetry/eliot/section1.html...(Answered by jcboyle)
