This essay will be a close reading of the relation between two poems. You are expected to explore both poems in detail and provide an essay that has its own unity, offering a clear and concise thesis that is underlined in your text. Be sure to give your essay a significant title that suggests to your reader the contours of your argument. Your essay should have five paragraphs, and each poem should be given equal attention in your study, with both poems being analyzed in each body paragraph. Remember that this essay should focus on your own critical engagement with the poems; NO USE OF SOURCES
