        <description><![CDATA[One possible interpretation of this line ("Death is the mother of beauty") is that the occasion of death is an opportunity to remember the positive and pleasurable aspects of the deceased person's life.

In this way, Stevens allows for death to take on added meaning. The sorrow and loss often...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The poem is written in blank verse, which means that the lines do not rhyme.  The poem's structure is similar to poems of the romantic poets, like Keats and Wordsworth.  The poet uses this style to create a connection between the woman and the poem's subject.&quot;The poem could also be regarded as a conversation between self and soul, between the social self that feels pressured to conform to traditional religious doctrines and the internal...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The poem contains a dialogue or a conversation between the woman, who is on a journey to try and understand the value of her earthly life as opposed to her spiritual life, and the poet who is helping her decide.Religion is a part of this poem because the woman is relaxing on a Sunday morning, lingering over coffee and fruit, instead of going to church.  She considers the Christian tradition that requires mass attendance on Sunday and there...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Extensive nature imagery is used. In fact, so much is used that it is impossible to list it all without recounting the entire poem. Broadly speaking, the imagery is first semi-domesticated—the sort of nature images that could occur in or near a home, such as the bird mentioned here: &quot;And the green freedom of a cockatoo/Upon a rug mingle to dissipate.&quot;Stevens then opens up the imagery and the world. It is expansive—readers are...]]></description>
