Now find an image that is similar in one of the Romantic poems and in one of the Harlem Renaissance poems. Compare the use of this image in all three poems. Does the meaning of this image stay the same in all three poems? Or do you think the poets are using this image to say different things? How does the meaning of this image shift from one poetic context to another? Are there any larger patterns that intrigue you?
