Look, Stranger! Look, Stranger



W.H. Auden was born on 21 February 1907; New York, England .Auden was the first poet who drew his ideas and imagery from Marx and Freud. W.H. Auden is a poet of the age of anxiety. In fact the poem begins with the idea of being dialectic and ends in being almost romantic
Look, Stranger is a poem about place and scene. This discovers to himself the fascinating beauty of Dover Cliffs enveloped all around by the sea. Auden feels himself a stranger to the sight when the sun suddenly leaps up from the bottom of the sea. The poet asks to the stranger to look at the wonderful scene which is introduced and enhanced by the first rays of the rising sun. In order experience the beauty, he is hinted to be completely absorbed in its beauty with silence and calm spirit. Thus, the music of the waves may go lazily trusting and turning through the ear like a river course. Then the poet asks to stranger to see the cliffs পাহাড়ের sloping down ঢালু to the sea. There the tall cliffs stand firm against the dashing waves. The tidalজলোচ্ছ্বাস pulls wash the pebbles down from the beach every time, they recede form there.
Far away in the bosom of the sea, the ships look as small as seeds floating on water. They are going to different countries. The weather is very calm and the water of the harbour lies like a mirror. The clouds sailing পাড়ি overhead are reflected beautifully in the calm and clear water of the harbour. This poem expresses sheer নিছক delight in the ocean for itself and is an exquisite piece of natural description.

Compare and contrast dickens and Thackeray:

Charles Dickens: one of the most prominent and influential novelists of the Victorian age, in fact the most popular of all English novelist so far. Some of his great novels are Pickwick Papers, Great Expectation and Bleak house in which his comic view of life, social criticism and power of storytelling are clearly reflected.
