i want summaryand theme,mood ,figure of speech of these poems JHON DONNE-death,be not proud
WILLIAM BLAKE-the tiger
WILLIAM WORDSWORTH-she was a phantom of delight
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE-cleopatra

Shruti, there's no poem called 'Cleopatra' by Shakespeare. Can you post the lines you are referring to?

How far have you progressed in your own efforts to summarize these poems, and to assess their themes and moods? Don't be afraid to put forward your impressions, to get discussion started.

Try google.

I'm guessing Chennai, Tamil Nadu, used to be Madras, is the posting server?

Summary and theme should be fairly easy for Donne's, Blake's and Wordsworth's, but Cleopatra is a play, so there is likely something different to this question than first mentioned.

As was mentioned, Google should produce a plethora of information, such as:

[www.english.uga.edu]

[www.sparknotes.com]

Figure of speech I am not following, however. Examples of different types of figures of speech? Every figure of speech there is can be found here:

Click on Litotes, for example, and work your way around the various possibilities given. Is litotes a good starting point? Well, it ain't a bad one (self-referencing suggestion).
