While I’m reading this poem, I was trying to imagine what the author was trying to say from the poem. And it was easier for imagining the story of the poem so, I chose this as ekphrastic. Ekphrastic means of used the words to make visuals and “talk about the moment in the poem.” When I’m reading the poem, I felt like this poems was sad stories because when I found “me” in the poem, it was the author himself and this phrases mood was sad. He described as his feelings as “parley with those conquering eyes, / Ere they have tried their force to wound; / In triumph over hearts that strive, / And them that yield but more despise:” I could imagine how author’s mood and one of the important girl from him died. The author was imagining how the girl was like when she was alive. The author described as himself as depressing like a man lost everything and the girl was describing as precious and compare with the flowers.

Ekphrastic was little different than regular old poem. Regular old poem was used to imply the story of the poem and make reader to solve the meaning of the words and make them imaginary themselves. However, in ekphrastic poems, it makes a reader to imagine more clearly and clearly understands what is going on without guessing the mean of the words.
