"Leda and the Swan" (Pg. 781) - William Butler Yeats
I really did not understand what was going on in this poem. To me it sounded like Leda was being killed by a swan, but that really does not make sense. I thought that the overall tone of the poem was very depressing. The poem was definitally not meant to be a happy one. I know who Leda is, but I am unfamiliar with all the stories related to her.
"Daddy" (Pg. 1074) - Sylvia Plath
"Daddy" has to be the strangest poem I have ever read. I found everything about this poem to be confusing, wierd, and rather creepy. I thought it was about a part Jewish girl and her relationship with her Nazi father. But it was actually just a metaphor idea that Plath used to describe her relationship with her father.
