Apostrophe
উত্তরের বিবরণ
Poetic Device: Apostrophe
Why:
-
An apostrophe occurs when a speaker addresses someone or something that is not present, cannot respond, or is abstract.
-
In Dejection: An Ode, the speaker addresses Sara Hutchinson with exclamations like “O Lady!” and “O pure of heart!”. She is not physically present, making this a direct, imaginative address.
-
This device allows the poet to express personal feelings, philosophical reflections, and emotional intensity.
-
Apostrophe is common in odes, where the poet often speaks to a person, idea, or abstract concept.
It effectively turns the ode into a heartfelt, intimate soliloquy.

Voices guiding the Mariner
D
The Hermit and his companions
মৃত নাবিকদের দেহের উপরে আলোকোজ্জ্বল সত্তারা দাঁড়ানো থাকে। তারা seraph—স্বর্গদূতের প্রতীক। তারা নাবিকদের আত্মাকে মুক্তি দেয় এবং মেরিনারকে আধ্যাত্মিক মুক্তির দিকে ঠেলে দেয়। এটি দেখায়—পাপের পরেও ঈশ্বরের করুণা মানুষকে রক্ষা করতে পারে।

মৃত নাবিকেরা মৃত্যুর সময় অভিশাপভরা দৃষ্টিতে মেরিনারের দিকে তাকিয়েছিল। সেই চোখগুলোই তাকে সাত দিন-রাত তাড়িয়ে বেড়ায়। এটি অপরাধবোধের প্রতীক।

Which of Coleridge's famous poems is a prime example of his exploration of the exotic, the supernatural, and the psychological depths of guilt and penance within a dream-like, imaginative landscape?

Kubla Khan
B
Lines Written in Early Spring
C
Ode to a Nightingale
D
Tintern Abbey
“Kubla Khan” (formally titled “Kubla Khan; or, A Vision in a Dream: A Fragment”) is one of the finest examples of Coleridge’s engagement with Romantic themes.
-
Exotic: The poem is set in a fantastical and exotic landscape, inspired by Xanadu, the summer palace of the Mongol emperor Kublai Khan. Coleridge describes “Alph, the sacred river,” “caverns measureless to man,” and “gardens bright with sinuous rills,” all of which create an imaginative and dream-like world.
-
Supernatural: The entire poem is presented as a vision or dream, which gives it a mystical and otherworldly quality. The appearance of the “damsel with a dulcimer” and the speaker’s longing to rebuild the “dome in air” add supernatural and symbolic dimensions.
-
Imagination and Psychological Depth: While Kubla Khan is primarily concerned with the power of imagination and the creative process, it shares with Coleridge’s other works the dream-like, unsettling atmosphere that often reflects deeper psychological states. However, the theme of guilt and penance is more strongly developed in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
Thus, Kubla Khan stands as the quintessential example of the exotic, supernatural, and imaginative dream-landscape that characterizes Coleridge’s Romantic vision.
