Literary Terms metaphysics (metaphysical—adj.) - In modern philosophical terminology, metaphysics refers to the studies of what cannot be reached through objective studies of material reality. As such, it is concerned with explaining the features of reality that exist beyond the physical world and our immediate senses. Metaphysics might include the study of the nature of the human mind, the definition and meaning of existence, or the nature of space, time, and/or causality. (p. 435) metaphysical poetry - poetry concerned with metaphysical issues (p.435); characterized by an unusual degree of intellectualism. (p. 427) conceit - an extended metaphor that links objects or ideas not commonly associated, often mixing abstract ideas and emotional matters. paradox - an image or description that appears self-contradictory but that reveals a deeper truth. (p. 435)

2nd semester epigram - (from the Greek “inscription”). A short poem in which the writer strives for brevity, clarity, and permanence. Epigrams include short lines with bouncy rhythms, paradoxical twists, and parallel phrases or clauses. (p.449) parallel structure (parallelism) - a rhetorical figure used in written and oral compositions in which gramatically similar constructions are used. Words, phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, and even larger structural units may be consciously oraganized into parallel constructions, thereby creating a sense of balance that can be meaningful and revealing. anaphora - the deliberate repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of several successive verses, clauses, or paragraphs. carpe diem theme - themes that involve the message to “seize the day.” Carpe diem is Latin for “seize the day.” (p. 459)
