Analysis and comments on Night Journey by Theodore Roethke

Comment 7 of 7, added on July 25th, 2006 at 7:09 PM.

I think this is an excellent poem that demonstrates such a rich spectrum of emotion, coupling it with a delicate mix of descriptive language. As I reader I reckon it's so easy to be swept up in the emotions Roethke is feeling, and for that it is extremely effective. I had fun analysing this.

I Don't really know where Mr Vitale is coming from in this... *shrug* Maybe he just can't read between the lines :-)

sorry mr vitale, but i dont think anyone who cannot spell out an entire word or needs to replace it with numbers has any business judging literature at all.

I am a deep and sincere colleague of Mr. Vitale from Italy and I must agree that good diction comes from Harry Potter and even more remarkably through Mr. Vitale's Secret Poems of Life. I read that and cried for days. I never knew the crazy guy had all those deep emotions in him. I love you man.

Okay, so as we all know Mr. Vitale from Italia believes that this masterpiece is crap. Well if he had a good sense of diction then he would be able to see that "Night Journey" is a wonderful piece of art. Scopta Tu Sinor Vitale!
