Age saw two quiet children Go loving by at twilight, He knew not whether homeward, Or outward from the village,
Or (chimes were ringing) churchward, He waited, (they were strangers) Till they were out of hearing
To bid them both be happy.
Carpe Diem

'Be happy, happy, happy, And seize the day of pleasure.' The age-long theme is Age's. 'Twas Age imposed on poems Their gather-roses burden To warn against the danger That overtaken lovers From being overflooded With happiness should have it.

And yet not know they have it. But bid life seize the present? It lives less in the present Than in the future always, And less in both together Than in the past. The present Is too much for the senses, Too crowding, too confusing- Too present to imagine.

TPCASTT Example•T: Carpe Diem –means to seize the day; I expect that the poem will discuss the idea that the majority of individuals do not live life to the fullest
![Page 18: TPCASTT Poetry Analysis](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56816365550346895dd439fe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
TPCASTT Example•P: Paraphrase—the speaker is Age. He sees two young lovers go wandering by. Once they are far enough away that they won’t hear, he wishes them happiness. Age created the saying “Carpe Diem” and it’s poetry’s task to warn against not appreciating life. Many people don’t realize all of the great things they have because they’re too busy living in the past.

TPCASTT Example•C: connotation—”children,” “go loving by,” “twilight,” “churchward”—marriage?, “bid…both be,” “Age,” “gather-roses burden,” “danger,” etc.

TPCASTT Example•A: attitude—Worried, warning, experienced (he knows what he’s talking about)

TPCASTT Example•S: shift—”And seize the day of pleasure.' (Shift) The age-long theme is Age's.”▫Shifts from talking about Age as he watches the young couple, to talking about the phrase Carpe Diem
