[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Wystan Hugh Auden has a most curious use of style within his many works. The manner by which he utilizes rhyme leaves the reader to interpret more than just the author's obvious implications. As well, while his sometimes-morbid creations can plunge one into the depths of the poem's intended despair, they are ripe with artistry and illusion. To illustrate these points, the writer will discuss one of Auden's most popular pieces, In Memory of W. B. Yeats. No additional sources cited.
