Compare and Contrast two poems: Welsh Landscape and East Moors
"Welsh Landscape" is written by R.S Thomas. He was a Welsh traditionalist born in 1913 and he died in 2000. He has strong views and lives in the past thinking of Wales of having no present or future. The poem consists of just one stanza. The main theme of this poem is war imagery, the words that suggest this are "ambush", "spilled blood", "wild", "strife", "strung", "sped arrows", "cries", "fields", "corners" and "carcass". He describes Wales
the start of "Welsh Landscape" is the same as the end, dull, violent and derogatory towards Wales. In "East Moors" the mood at the start makes you think there'll be a seasonal changer, that the bitter times have ended, but in fact the times continue to be just as terrible as before. Personally, I don't like the poems; I feel they run Wales down, it doesn't have a rhythmic pattern and the themes are violent
