With reference to two poems, discuss ways in which Wordsworth writes about such moments. (b) Comment closely on the language, tone and content of the following poem. To the Cuckoo O blithe New-comer! I have heard, I hear thee and rejoice: O Cuckoo! shall I call thee Bird, Or but a wandering Voice? While I am lying on the grass, I hear thy restless shout: From hill to hill it seems to pass, About, and all about! To me, no Babbler with a tale Of sunshine and of flowers, Thou tellest, Cuckoo! in the vale Of visionary hours. Thrice welcome, Darling of the Spring! Even yet thou art to me No Bird; but an invisible Thing, A voice, a mystery. The same whom in my School-boy days I listened to; that Cry Which made me look a thousand ways; In bush, and tree, and sky. To seek thee did I often rove Through w oods and on the green; And thou wert still a hope, a love; Still longed for, never seen! And I can listen to thee yet; Can lie upon the plain And listen, till I do beget That golden time again. O blessed Bird! the earth we pace Again appears to be An unsubstantial, faery place; That is fit home for Thee! 25 5 Or 10 15 20 30  © UCLES 2009 9695/31/O/N/09 5 BLANKShow MoreRelatedJourney- Patricia Grace, the People Before- Maurice Shadbolt (Lack of Clear Outcome1544 Words   |  7 PagesAnalyse how the lack of a clear outcome in at least TWO short stories you have studied makes the stories successful for you: Journey by Patricia Grace and The People Before by Maurice Shadbolt both look at land confiscation and compensation cases that occurred during the early colonization of New Zealand and their modern relevance today.

When Mercury delivers a message to Aeneas, he does not simply arrive, as Homer would have written it. He jumps and flies and soars over many important places, with great and interesting detail of his every twist and turn on his journey (Aen. 4.310-337). This illustrates not only the further development of writing over Homer, but also possibly the Roman audience’s lesser belief in such gods, as they can’t simply be to be believable.
