Summer Comments

Rating: 3.6

See what delights in sylvan scenes appear!
Descending Gods have found Elysium here.
In woods bright Venus with Adonis stray'd,
And chaste Diana haunts the forest shade.

FIVE: The poem also describes the harvest season and the reapers who thank Ceres for their bounty. The poem ends with the poet's longing to pass his days with the nymph and invoke the muses to resound her prais

ONE: To have such a poem (Summer) published at this time (deep cold winter with frozen parts) does not make discussing it any easier.

TWO: He was called 'The wicked wasp of Twickenham' for his stinging literary satires of his fellow writers. He modelled himself after the great Classical poets, such as Homer and Virgil, and wrote in highly polished verse, often in a didactic or satirical vein.

ONE: The Greek myths called here to make clear how the season of Summer is. All occurrences near and in the Oceans, where the gods and nymphs were. For the present time, this poem is a very flowery and languid poem, but still poem sublimest.

Oh! How I long with you to pass my days, Invoke the muses, and resound your praise; Your praise the birds shall chant in ev'ry grove, And winds shall waft it to the pow'rs above........//// beautiful poetic expression

It is worth the effort to read 'Summer'. Alexander Pope now looks old-fashioned of course, but his genius endures. The last 2 lines stand out: 'On me Love's fiercer flames forever prey/ By night he scorches, as he burns by day'. How honest.

This harmless grove is grown with amazing effective night''s love. By night he scorches, as he burns by day and he fives summer amazement. An excellent poem this is. We appreciate the description of imagery.

The money made from his translation of Homer allowed Pope to move to a villa at Twickenham in 1719, where he created his now famous grotto and gardens. WOW! Then he deserved so well this poem as The Classic Poem Of The Day. Hurray! Pope a name to never forget! A true writer of epic things, very long longe essays, worth and valuable to read. CONGRATULATIONS!
