The Victorian poets took the idea of heroism into their work just like other poets in the past and tried to bring out their abilities in achieving their goals regardless what kind was that goal and how it was compared to that past poets’ goals. Hence the war and the introduction to battles’ technologies made them even more heroic. This appeared in William Yeast’s work who used images themes and symbols that seemed to look desire the older poems. In his poem “An Irish Man Foresees His Death” he created an image of an airman who fight in a cut not for any goal but to for his country and for his people and did not worry of death which was compete to life according to him in the measure line of his poem when e said “In balance with this life this death”. Accordingly this line showed the heroism in the poem that might be similar to ennoble Byron’s heroism when he crossed the river swimming to achieve his goal without fearing death.
In contrast the Victorian poets created their own form of poetry with their new images themes styles and symbols. They were affected by the industrialization world they lived in and the modern thoughts and ideas they got. Moreover they started a new write of poetry that had more imagining instead of real life stories and probably less religious conservatism away from the older poetry that was fascinated by the natural world and God’s amazing powers in creation. There new life shaped them to be new people with new thoughts and idea. For example. Yeast titled his bring home the bacon with “Adam’s Curse” and talked about the whole Adam and Eve’s story comfortably and change surface stated his opinion and judgment about the subject of them being out of Eden. He said “I said. "It's certain there is no book thing. Since Adam's fall but needs much labouring” which showed his judgment of the mistake Adam did. [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
