📝 Analysis;

💭How does war affect the way soldiers view "the enemy"? In his 1902 poem, "The Man He Killed," Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) argues that war is senseless and pits good men against one another. After the speaker takes the life of an enemy soldier, he realizes that in any other circumstance, the two might have been friends. With a jarringly casual tone, "The Man He Killed" examines themes like the senselessness and futility of war and the loss of self a soldier experiences in wartime.

💭A dramatic monologue, the poem's speaker recounts having to kill a man in war with whom he had found himself "face to face." Talking casually throughout, the speaker discusses how this man could easily have been his friend, someone he might have, under different circumstances, had a drink with in an "ancient inn."

📚His noticeable works;

▫️While Hardy wrote poetry throughout his life and regarded himself primarily as a poet, his first collection was not published until 1898. Initially, he gained fame as the author of novels such as Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891), and Jude the Obscure (1895).

🎼 Dream of you
🎧 Schiller

🌸 I've been here all the time
As far as I know doing right
I've always waited for the moment
That you would come through my door
But this brought loneliness so far
I lay my hand onto my heart
Is this the life I want to live
Is this the dream I had of you?
تمام مدت همينجا بودم
تا جاييكه ميدونم اوضاعم خوب بوده
هميشه منتظر اون لحظه اى بودم
كه تو از در وارد بشى
اما اين فكرها تا حالا فقط برام تنهايى آورده
دستم رو روى قلبم ميذارم
اين اون زندگى هست كه ميخواستم؟
اين اون رويايى هست كه از تو داشتم؟

🍃But this brought loneliness so far
I lay my hand onto my heart
Is this the life I want to live
Is this the dream I had of you...
The dream I had of you?

🌼 Now I'm standing here alone
I'm waiting on my own
For something that will fill the emptiness inside
The moment that you're mine
حالا اينجا تنها ايستادم
تو تنهايى خودم منتظرم
منتظر چيزى كه بتونه حس تهى درونم رو پر كنه
منتظر اون لحظه اى كه تو مال من بشى

🍃But this is loneliness I know
I lay my hand onto my soul
Is this what life has got to give
Is this the dream I had of you...
The dream I had of you?

📝Explanation;

💭Eliot's poem combines the legend of the Holy Grail and the Fisher King with vignettes of contemporary British society. Eliot employs many allusions to the Western canon: Ovid's Metamorphoses, Dante's Divine Comedy, Shakespeare, Milton, Buddhist scriptures, the Hindu Upanishads and even a contemporary popular song, "The Shakespearean Rag."

💭The poem shifts between voices of satire and prophecy featuring abrupt and unannounced changes of speaker, location, and time and conjuring a vast and dissonant range of cultures and literatures.

💭The poem is divided into five sections. The first, "The Burial of the Dead", introduces the diverse themes of disillusionment and despair. The second, "A Game of Chess", employs alternating narrations, in which vignettes of several characters address those themes experientially. "The Fire Sermon", the third section, offers a philosophical meditation in relation to the imagery of death and views of self-denial in juxtaposition, influenced by Augustine of Hippo and Eastern religions.[clarification needed] After a fourth section, "Death by Water", which includes a brief lyrical petition, the culminating fifth section, "What the Thunder Said", concludes with an image of judgment.

🔸Thomas Stearns Eliot OM (26 September 1888 – 4 January 1965) was a poet, essayist, publisher, playwright, literary critic and editor. Considered one of the 20th century's major poets, he is a central figure in English-language Modernist poetry. Through his trials in language, writing style, and verse structure, he reinvigorated English poetry. He also dismantled outdated beliefs and established new ones through a collection of critical essays.

▪️Eliot first attracted widespread attention for his poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" from 1914 to 1915, which, at the time of its publication, was considered outlandish. It was followed by The Waste Land (1922), "The Hollow Men" (1925), "Ash Wednesday" (1930), and Four Quartets (1943).He was also known for seven plays, particularly Murder in the Cathedral (1935) and The Cocktail Party (1949).
