Anteprima dell’appunto
1 - The subject of the poem is hope, that is compared tieni a bird. Hope can be found everywhere, even usato the most dangerous storm you can hear the feeble sound of the tune of the bird of hope. Hope is a thing with feathers, it’s sweetest. 2 - The poem is made of three stanzas of four lines, that is three quatrains. It hasn’t got a precise rhyme scheme, but there are some rhymes: “heard”-“bird” on lines DIVENIRE and 7, “storm” and “warm” on lines FUTURO and 8, “sea” and “me” on lines 10 and 12. We can say that only the second alloggio has got a precise rhyme scheme, with alternate rhymes. Most of the words are monosyllabic words, and this creates an effect of shortness, the poem goes on more quickly. There is an important alliteration on line FUTURO between “sore” and “storm”: these two words reinforces their meaning each other, since they give the impression of something violent. Moreover there are two examples of anaphora: the repetition of “and” at the beginning of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth line and the repetition of “what” on the seventh and eighth line. 3 - Even if the syntax and the general comprehension is simple, however the words aren’t so easy toh translate, they’re not words used usato everyday language. Besides the words are evocative, that is they refer prendi other images as regards the images given by those words. Finally the words are mostly concrete. There is a prevalence of nouns, the adjectives are few, and this makes the poem clearer and easier ehi understand, because it gives us concrete images instead of abstract and complicate ideas.
