‘Ode to a Nightingale’(1819) is a typical poem of a Romantic poet like John Keats, but
‘The Nightingale’(1798) is an uncharacteristic poem of a Romantic poet like Coleridge.
The paper proposes a comparison between Coleridge’s ‘The Nightingale’ and Keats’
‘Ode to a Nightingale’.Coleridge’s poem diverges from the Romantic norm; it carries some
characteristics new to Romantic poetry like the realistic and objective portrayals of nature and
the nightingale, while Keats’ poem adhere to the characteristics of Romantic poetry; it
portrays nature and the nightingale subjectively and unrealistically. Coleridge’s poem is very
much influenced by the scientific approaches to environment, and natural history which have
emerged at the end of the 18th C., and this influence has led Coleridge to diverge from the
Romantic norm, while Keats’ Ode does not react to this emergence, it preserves the prominent
features of Romantic poetry, though it follows Coleridge’s poem in not more than twenty one
years.
The paper is divided into two sections, and a conclusion. The first section, ‘Coleridge’s
Divergence from the Romantic Norm’starts with presenting Coleridge as the conventional
Romantic poet who is not different from Keats nor any other major Romantic poet in
depicting nature and the nightingale in most of his poems, with the aim to highlight his
sudden divergence from his Romantic line in ‘The Nightingale’. The part moves to discuss
Coleridge’s abandonment of the characteristics previously mentioned of Romantic poetry in
his ‘The Nightingale’ through his realistic and objective approaches to the nightingale which
come as a reaction to the occurrence of natural and ornithological studies.
The second section, ‘Keats’ Adherence to the Romantic Norm’ discusses Keats’
preservation of the prominent characteristics of Romantic poetry in his ‘Ode to a Nightingale’
like escapism, allusion, imitation of Milton, the unrealistic and subjective approaches to
nature and the nightingale,and degenderization of the nightingale which all point out Keats’
disregard for the occurrence of scientific approaches to nature and the bird at the time.
Finally, the conclusion sums up the findings of the study.
The comparative study tries to find the common points in two different authors’ works and in this kind of studying so many other common but the hidden points may be revealed. Postwar literature is somehow one of the best literary genres for finding the common factors and features that the poets have tried to present in their works elements such as desire to be winner, cruelty, inhumanity, and absurdity of the war. The Iranian poet late Qaisar Aminpour(1961-2007) and Yusef Komunyakaa ( 1947) from Bogalusa, Louisiana, are among the great American and Iranian poets whose works so many times have been interpreted and analyzed. The finding the outstanding and the most important points and themes in the postwar poems of these

Show MoreObjective This study aimed to compare the biomechanics of three-point shooting between elite Iraqi basketball players and international players, in order to identify key biomechanical differences that may impact shooting performance. Methods A total of 80 male basketball players participated in the study (40 elite Iraqi players and 40 international elite players). Kinematic data were collected using advanced motion analysis systems, force plates, and high-speed video analysis. The measured variables included joint angles, angular velocity, release speed, ball release angle, and ground reaction forces during three-point shooting. Each player performed 20 consecutive shots under controlled conditions. Group comparisons were conducted using st

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) represents the most prevalent type of acute leukemia in adults and is responsible for approximately 80% of all cases. The tumor suppressor gene (TP53) is a gene that has been frequently studied in cancer, and mutations in this gene account for about 50% of human cancers. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene: rs1042522 and rs1642785, and a group of Iraqi patients suffering from pre-diagnostic acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Blood samples were collected from sixty patients (26 males and 34 females) and sixty controls (26 males and 34 females); these subjects were matched in gender, age, and ethnicity. Genomic DNA has been extracted fro

The regression models for the two models were estimated, and then the comparison between them, where the comparison between these methods was according to a Mean Square

The aim of this research is that test and evaluate the fully alternatives. We can therefore state as the principle that evaluation of alternative plans must be based on attempts to show how far each plan satisfies all the objectives are expressed as specification of the performance of the urban and regional system. The planner can submit the result (as in the traditional way) for each alternative, with particular reference to the weighting of objectives. The summery result can be presented and the preferred plan indicated that with largest index of Goals-achievement.

The object has a reason or an excuse, because it is an explanation of what came before it, of the cause. The reason for the occurrence of the action, being the motive for causing the action and the bearer of it (3), indicates that the infinitive is restricted to a special reason.
