Introduction：It is necessary to know the relationship between Poe and Helen in order to analyze the poem When at the academy in Richmond, Poe one day accompanied a schoolmate to his home, where he saw, for the first time, Mrs .Helen Standard, the mother of his young friend. This lady, on entering the room, took his hands and spoke some gentle
and gracious words of welcome, which so penetrated the nsitive heart of the orphan boy as to deprive him of the power of speech, and for a符号网名大全 time almost of consciousness itlf. He returned home in a dream,with but one thought, one hope in life —to hear again the sweet and gracious words that had made the desolate world so beautiful to him,and filled his lonely heart with the oppression of a new joy. This lady afterwards became the confidant of all his boyish sorrows, and was the one that saved and guided him in the earlier days of Poe’s turbulent and passionate youth. When Edgar was unhappy at home,新生儿吃什么 which, says his aunt, Mrs. Clemm, "was very often the ca, he went to Mrs. Stannard for sympathy, for consolation, and for advice." Unfortunately, the lady was overwhelmed by a terrible calamity, and died. The memory of this lady, of this "one idolatrous and purely ideal love" of his boyhood, was cherished to the last. The name of Helen frequently recurs in his youthful vers. From the above prentation of the relationship between Poe and Helen, it can be en that Helen is the world to Poe.
Analyze：“To Helen” by Edgar Allan Poe is more complicated that it ems and contains many symbols of Poe’s life. This poem is often commented on for its spoken beauty. How
ever, there are many more symbols the reader may not pick up the first time. As well as not noticing all that is in the poem, one may not know there are many symbols from Poe’s own life that he writes about in this poem. Although no one can be sure, there is enough to evidence to prove it is about Poe and his love for a certain woman. The poem begins with the speaker addressing "Helen," a reference to Helen of Troy. Helen of Troy is, of cour, the woman, according to legend, who beauty was so great it caud the war lasting ten years that led to the destruction of Troy.梅花的句子
In the first and cond lines, the speaker makes a simile to compare Helen's beauty to that of ancient ships. The ships spoken of, Nicean barks, were ones well-known for their beautiful sails, curved lines, and ornamentation, and that carry, in this ca, the “wanderer” back home. The image of “perfumed waters” makes the trip em pleasant to the reader. It is also another image the author us to enhance the eming beauty of Helen. “The speaker, in a parallel development, would be associated with the wanderer, and so he is characterized as someone who is given easy passage to a cure atmosphere (his "native" shore) just by eing Helen's beauty”. The tiredness he feels bef
ore he es Helen receives an emphasis through alliteration of the sound of “w” in "weary, way-worn wanderer." The repeated sound of the “W” even also can suggest a weak condition for which the wanderer is described. In line six, the speaker refers to himlf as someone who has long been ud to traveling at a.
老师的歌The journeys were described to have been "desperate,” which entails a waning hope. If the situation is read metaphorically, his life, being reprented in the metaphor by the phra “desperate as” reveals that the speaker's life has been full of despair. This is one of the specific ctions of the poem that ultimately leads to the conclusion of Poe being the “way-worn wanderer”, and it is Poe’s life the “desperate as” are reprenting. The connection between this poem and Poe’s own life will be discusd following the explication.
Both lines ven and eight describe Helen's beauty and its continuing positive effect on the speaker. “The phra ‘hyacinth hair’ suggests hair that is curled and sweetly fragrant as are the petals of the hyacinth flower”. The alliteration between “hyacinth” and “hair” is
especially unique. Not only does Poe continue to u beautiful adjectives, but he enhances the poem even more with this alliteration. “The soft ‘H’ can be compared to a sigh of love”. Poe’s ability to u techniques like this leaves this poem to be a great one. Poe adds more to the classical theme of the poem in lines ven, nine, and ten. In line eight Helen is said to have "Naiad airs," that is, nymphlike or fairylike qualities. The word "classic" to describe Helen's face calls up images of the statue-like beauty. The metaphor of Helen as a statue is ud again in the poem and should be taken of importance.
Lines nine and ten bring the poem again to figurativeness. “They indicate that the speaker has been metaphorical in his description of himlf as a sailor. The ‘home’ to which he refers is not a physical location, but a frame of mind and a source of inspiration; it is an appreciation of the great works produced by the ancient empires of Greece and Rome”. When the traveler beholds the beauty of Helen, his life turns from despair to now having a firm footing. The alliteration of the hard “G” and “R” in the words "glory," "Greece," "grandeur," and "Rome" can be understood to affirm this.

In the last stanza of the poem, there are a few comparisons prenting the woman in the poem as an inspiration. Continuing with the metaphor from before of the traveler returning home, the eleventh and twelfth lines contain a scene where Helen is pictured as a beautiful woman sitting by the window. The traveler es her from afar as he returns home. The window is made "brilliant" not only by her beauty but also by the lighted lamp she holds, a lamp that could guide the traveler’s ship into harbor. The statue-like qualities that Helen has are displayed here again. Becau the ba of the lamp is made of "agate," a translucent, precious, and colorful stone, it associates tho qualities with the woman herlf.
There is an allusion to Psyche from classical Greek mythology in the fourteenth line. In the literal interpretation of the lamp in line 13, it is held by Helen so that the traveler can find his way back to her, but a symbolic reference comes from the story of Psyche's lamp, the lamp which allows the soul to e love, revealing the truth about love to the soul. In the myth of Cupid and Psyche, Psyche is kept in captivity by Cupid, the God of Love, without knowing his identity. He visits her every night and she is not allowed to e him. T
o Cupid, this arrangement proves Psyche's faith in love. Even though she is treated wonderfully by him, she fears that he may be a monster. The one time that she shines a lamp on him to discover his identity while he is asleep he wakens and derts her immediately. The suggestion is that love cannot remain in the soul if the soul questions it. When this speaker concludes with the exclamation "Ah, Psyche" he calls upon all the powers of beauty, truth and love, as they reside in the soul, to prai Helen. The fact that she and the powers originate from the "Holy Land" elevate them above any mortal love. Elevating Helen above anything mortal thus does the same for the love between the traveler and her. Now that every line of the poem has been explained, how the poem correlates with Poe’s own life can be explained as well.
