Comparing and Contrasting

Compare and contrast the way the poets present a rustic drill? The two poems take of Haymaker 1890 by mollie Holden and Hay-making by Gillian Clarke portray rustic body process in a equivalent way. The poem Photograph of Haymaker 1890 consists of two stanzas and this could be linked to the occurrence that it is a reminiscing photo of a man who cuts hay. This shows the rustic activity ascribable to the fact it is the poet possibly describing a relative of hers working. Whereas, the poem Hay-making has three very short stanzas. We can link the short, fast flowing stanzas with the fact that the surname retrievems synonymous with fill in making.The poet Molly Holden vigorously uses the photographry of life and death throughout her poem Photograph of Haymaker. An example being to renovate his scythe this conveys the message of death and an image of a grim reaper. Holden cleverly juxtaposes this with the set phrase white shirt lit by another passs sun. Gillian Clarke also us es an intriguing juxtaposition, these hot nighttimes. This juxtaposition shows a sultry image of natural passion. You could also link this to rustic activity if you imagine a worker possibly working in the night time. The tones of the two poems seem completely different from each other.Holdens poem, Photograph of Haymaker has a nostalgic tone he pausing from his work trousers even below the knee. The phrases used give the connotation of the poet bringing adventure good memories. This is what photographs tend to do. Clarke uses enjambment as she does not use punctuations to fall through up the flow of her poem and this adds to the dreary tone. Towards the end of the poem we see more evidence of rustic activity. The poet Molly Holden uses enjambment throughout the delay stanza, sweet hay and gone some seventy years agone and yet they stand forwards me in the sun.This enjambment gives the image of hay possibly falling round off. We can link this to rustic activity if we create a n image in our head of hay falling down in a country farm. Gillian Clarkes poem has an interesting caesura before the word Breathe, this can be seen as a supremacy possibly suggesting how the ritual of harvesting is metaphorically inspirational. Another important phrase which is strongly linked to rustic activity is, in the scratch of the hay. The scratch of the hay creates a physical link between folksy nature of a farm for instance and the act of human love making. We can also say that this is onomatopoeia.
