Our teacher, Pato Chujman, gave us an assignment to do in pair, in threes, in fours, etc. I did this assignment with Margui Muller, Milagros Mendez and Federika Marty.

The poems we’ve read up to now are:

• The Clod and The Pebble
• Love III
• Passion
• Lover’s Infiniteness

Answer these questions about all of those poems:

1. What is «Love» for each of the voices in the poems.
2. Which poems deal with «earthly love»? Explain.
3. Which poems deal with «spiritual love»? Explain
4. Wich is your favourite poem? Why?
5. Which is your favourite quote? Why?

Answers:

1. In The Clod and The Pebble, there are 2 points of view about love, one is expressed by the Clod as a young, unselfish, happy and unexpirienced love. And the other is expressed by the Pebble as a selfish, unhappy, experienced and old love.                    In Love III the love is a religious love, because God accepts the voice/speaker, as who he is it does not matter if her has sined or not.                                                           In Passion love is nature because she is inmortal and will never fail on her.                 In Lovers’ Infiniteness love is showed as an «all», but as a fact «all» does not exist because the love keeps on growing and as it keeps on growing or vanishing, it is not all.
2. The poems that deal with «earthly love» are the Clod and the pebble and Passion. Because they are both personifications
3. Love III because God loves him no matter if he’s sined or not. And is something that the voice believes, no one forces him to believe it. Lovers’ Infiniteness also because by marriage they willl have eternal love, Divine Love
4. Passion because I myself am really connected to nature.
5. «Burned with the holy fire of Passion» (quotation on «Passion»)
