| Diction | “Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter: therefore, ye soft pipes, play on” Notice the use of formal “ye” instead of informal “you”. The formality here is due to the respect the urn inspires in Keats. In the same poem he says: |
| Detail | “It was a cold grey day in late November. The weather had changed overnight, when a backing wind brought a granite sky and a mizzling rain with it, and although it was now only a little after two o'clock in the afternoon the pallor of a winter evening seemed to have closed upon the hills, cloaking them in mist.” |
| Imagery | On a starry winter night in Portugal Where the ocean kissed the southern shore There a dream I never thought would come to pass Came and went like time spent through an hourglass -Teena Marie, “Portuguese Love” |
| Syntax | In casual conversations, we can simply say, “I cannot go out” to convey our inability to go out. P J Kavanagh’s in his poem Beyond Decoration does not rely on merely stating a prosaic “I cannot go out”. Rather, he shifts the syntax and says “Go out I cannot”, which lays a much stronger emphasis on the inability to go out conveyed by the word “cannot”. |
| Tone | “Can someone tell me what the hell is going on here?” - Aggressive Tone Father: “We are going on a vacation.” Son: “That’s great!!!” – The tone of son’s response is very cheerful. |
