Tuesday, Nov. 27: Forms

* Open

* Notes

• Villanelle: A French verse form consisting of five three-line stanzas and a final quatrain, with the first and third lines of the first stanza repeating alternately in the following stanzas. These two refrain lines form the final couplet in the quatrain (The Poetry Foundation). 
• Read any two examples on your own, we will go over them tomorrow: 
• The House on the Hill 
• Ask yourself: Why does the speaker repeat himself if "There is nothing more to say"?
• One Art
• Ask yourself: What is the art?  Is it hard to master?  Has the speaker mastered it?  How do you know?
• Acquainted with the Night (second poem)
• Who is this speaker?  
• The Waking 
• One for the sleepers.
• Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night
• Form, far from being a lifeless artificiality, can communicate powerful passion.
