Ode to the West Wind versus Life Will

It Is amazing to shoot the breeze the slmllarltles between their verses Ode to the tungsten malarkey and biography depart despite the differences In times & cultures as well as the fact that Elshabby didnt know whatsoever other language than Arabic was thus Indirectly influenced by the quixotic school through with(predicate) his assoclatlon with Apollo school. Both Shelly, in his Ode to the West Wind and Elshabby, in his Life Will follow the tradition of amorous poets in recognizing temperament as a rebellious force capable of making a interchange in our disembodied spirit. Shelly both admires and reverences the changes records rebellious forces toilette wreak.Elshabby, however, is consumed by the take to that mickle bequeath take their cue from personality and be bugger off so widey rebellious against mashion till they eliminate entirely sorts of oppression. Shelleys Ode to the West Wind expresses the promise that its words will inspire and influence those who depict or hear it. Perhaps more than anything else, Shelley wanted his message of revitalize and variety spread, and the roll out becomes the trope for spreading the word of change through the poet-prophet figure. The poesy allegorizes the role of the poet as the voice of change and revolution.It discusses political change, revolution, and role of the poet. Life Will by Elshabby is one of the greatest revolutionary meters indite in Arabs world. It still make ups till now as it had recently godly the Arab Spring Revolutions, just as it had inspired revolution against colonization throughout the Arab world in the previous century, when it was written at 1933. The poet uses his verses to extract flock to ascent against and get rid of their oppressor, as If he wants his nation to yammer at and eliminate them till there Is nothing left to oppress the hatful.Sometimes, the poet feels as If his people be not as responsive to his abuse as he may wish, just now he doesnt l ose hope. He Is consumed by hope believing his nation will revolt at nett breaking the chains with a trem eat upous will that behindt be efeated. Both poems are similar In their Graeco-Roman structure & romantic content. Ode to the West Wind consists of five stanzas written In terza rlma. Each stanza consists of foursome tercets (ABA, BCB, CDC, DED) and a rhyming couplet (EE). The structure & rhyme confirm to determinateal tradltlon & resembles Dantes Dlvlne Comedy.The poem follows the romantic tradltlon of glvlng nature and Its elements biography. It begins with three stanzas describing the winds effects upon earth, air, and ocean. The last two stanzas are Shelley direct monologue to the wind, asking for its ower, to lift him wish well a leaf, a cloud or a wave and stupefy him its companion in its wanderings. He asks the wind to take his thoughts and spread them all over the pass comes, can Spring be outlying(prenominal) lav? Life Will consists of six stanzas with a mon o rhyme for separately verse revokes with an (R). Also, the verses are divided into two halves according to classic Arabic poetry tradition.The declamatory beginning of the poem is other feature of classic Arabic poetry. Then Elshabby introduces the elements of nature and their spirit as the speaker of the poem showing an indirect nfluence by Romanticism. Almotaqareb poetry bahr and the (R) mono rhyme leave a quick tempo to the poem absent from Shellys Ode. The poem is full of certainty shown in the word AN which means must and stressed by the last verse 131 As opposed tothe uncertainty at the end of Shellys Ode to the West Wind If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? metergh both poems give life to nature its elements, for each one expresses this romantic belief in a different manner. Ode to the West Wind personifies the west wind both as a Destroyer and a Preserver. It is seen as a great power of nature that destroys in order to create, that kills the unhealthy and the de caying to make way for the new and the fresh. In Life Will, Elshabby introduces the wind as a link between fanaticism and revolution. It is likened to the revolutionary wind insides him. He stresses that peoples will to revolt is the real life that can change destiny and destroy the chains oppressing people.Shellys Ode shows the effect of the unrestrained West Wind on land, sky & sea. The first few lines contain coloured elements, such as leaves dead. These leaves haunt as ghosts fleeing from something that panics them. Other allusions to oddment are chariotest and corpse within its grave. He contrasts the west wind to the azure sister of the spring a reference to the east wind whose living hues and odours evoke a strong contrast to the colours of death. The skys clouds are like earths decaying leaves.They in addition are numerous in number like the dead leaves. through and through this reference the landscape is recalled again. The clouds are Shook from the tangled boughs o f Heaven and Ocean. The clouds can also be seen s Angels of rain, like messengers bringing change. Here, the west wind is two things at once first he is dirge/Of the decease year singing a funeral song intimately the year coming to an end and second he is a prophet of tumult whose prediction is peremptory a prophet who does not only bring black rain, and fire, and hail, yet who Will burst it.The locks of the approaching storm are the messengers of this bursting the clouds. Elshabby doesnt describe scenery so overmuch as recount what the elements of life advised him. The land speaks to him. She tells him she likes mbitious revolutionary people and curses dead people who want the status quo kept. The poet calls the land mother invoking an hint relationship between them. He whence declares what each element of nature advised the wind roared among valleys, mountains and trees that achieving ambitions means discarding tending and expending the effort to guide the final goal.He co ntrasts this with people who wont try to climb up the mountains and thus live forever beneath their dreams. He talks about autumn, drinking wine, sea and seeds stressing revival and the cycle f nature and describing spring and its beauty. The turning-point in Shellys poem is the third stanza. Whereas Shelley had began by accepting the cycle of nature death which brings life back, he now turns to wistful reminiscence as an alternative first step of transcendence.He gives an image of nature so sweet that one feels alludes to his fear of the revolution that would bring about change even while he is wishing for this change. Whereas the first three stanzas began with O wild West Wind and Thou and were clearly directed to the wind, there is a change in the ourth stanza. The revolve about is no more on the Wind, but on the speaker who says If I Shelley wishes to identify himself with the wind, although he believes that were a he cannot do that Oh, lift me up as a wave, a leaf, a cloud .Because he suddenly remembers his unfitness as a human to soar, he fall upon the thorns of life and bleed. Elshabby also aligns himself with nature. First, he calls earth as his mother. Then he states that the wind and thunder of revolution live in his heart allowing him to listen to the music of rain as if showing him how nature moves and works all round him to encourage people to do the same to move and work to revolt against oppression. He then asks darkness about hope, but it doesnt answer. It is the lyre that answers.It says that winter brings death but the seeds overcompensate under ground waiting for spring to come alive. There is another dialogue between destiny and elements of nature. Destiny asks when will hope come and spring comes to answer her with his revival of life. All through this stanza, darkness, winter and death stands for oppression while spring and seeds stand for hope of coming free. He ends the oem with a repetition of the first stanza stressing the idea t hat destiny must & will respond to those who has ambition for freedom & change.Shelly ends his poem with a question If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?. This is of course a rhetorical question because spring does come after winter, but the if suggests that it ability not come if the rebirth is not strong and extensive enough. so the question has a deeper meaning and does not only mean the change of seasons, but is a reference to death and rebirth as well. Shellys Ode is about the role of the poet as the agent of olitical and moral change.In this, it resembles Elshabbys poem which invoked the people to revolt against oppression. Both describe nature and its elements as alive, but where Shelly is both admiring and in owe of nature, Elshabby is more direct in invoking the power of nature and revoking caution and fear. Also, where Shelly wishes to have the power of the wind, even though he believes it is impossible, Elshabby aligns himself completely with nature and encourage o thers to follow his example as the only way they can attain life will which can achieve their dreams nd hopes.Elshabbys poem also evokes more hope & certainty of achieving this hope, ambition & bravery as well as disregard & rejection of caution & fear while achieving it in contrast to Shelly admiration & fear of change. I might be slanted in my view that Elshabbys Life Will is stronger and livelier than Shellys Ode to the West Wind, but in that I might be pardoned as Elshabbys Life Will has been revived with the current Arab Spring giving us renewed hope for change and freedom and coming more alive in the form than Shellys ode can ever hope to be.
