Thank you so much! You help me build this connection with each poem with interest, familiarity and understanding. I admire you, your intelligence, vast vocabulary and ability to teach so comprehensibly. ❤
Excellent analysis! For me, the meter here isn't wholly dactylic. e.g. during "half a league, half a league, half a league"; I prefer in parts to read the meter mimicking a galloping horse, emphasizing the third syllable (e.g. "league" is stressed and pronounced as one syllable duh-duh-DUH). Later 18-20's "of them" spaces out these gallops ~ as if time is slowing down, as things do when doom is nigh-eminent.
Love it - super observant reading there... yes, I can see where you're coming from with the rhythmic resemblance to the galloping pace. Thank you for sharing!

Hey Jen! This is a very like general question not specific to poetry but I was wondering if you could every analyse too much for a quote? I find a lot of language techniques normally and I’m able to do somewhat deep analysis but I don’t know if it’s too much for for quote
Hi - of course it's possible to 'overanalyse' any quote, especially if the interpretation isn't reasonably informed by the content in the poem/text. The point to any literary analysis is never in how many techniques we can identify, but in how well we explain the effect and relevance of these techniques as they pertain to the text's key ideas and messages. You'll need to consider how much time you're given for a specific task, too, to determine what "how much' is, well, 'too much'.
@@JenChan I’m pretty sure the techniques I’ve found link really well and so does my analysis and I’ve never ran out of time before but I don’t want to risk anything
