Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(5 pp) Poetry is often thought of as the language
of feelings. The wonderful thing that we have
finally learned about feelings is, that they are
neither right or wrong -they just exist. It is
usually thought, that one person does not make
another feel a certain way. Rather a given feeling
may exist in the presence of another individual.
We will test that theory through the poetry of
Anne Bradstreet and Rita Dove, poets about three
hundred years apart in time.

surroundings, but more in her Puritan faith. The poem we examine is called, "To My Dear and Loving Husband." It has been suggested that perhaps the poem is
a cloaked message, that was saying all was not well in the New World, and the praise that the poet feels for her spouse is about wish fulfillment
rather than reality. This conclusion was probably made through the poets use of the repetition of the word "if." Any piece of literature can probably receive the same negative
response if one chooses, since a reader brings as much verbal baggage to a poem, as a viewer does to a painting: "If ever two were one, then surely
we. If ever man were lovd by wife, then thee. If ever wife was happy in a man, Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
