Letting life happen is part of my frustrations at the moment. I have a busy, full life, just like many of us do. I get up and have things and people to tend to immediately until I finally can’t stay awake anymore and fall asleep some time past midnight. Naturalmente non vedevo l'ora di conoscere il Maestro [Noel Coward] - e lo conobbi. Era il suo ultimo pranzo a Londra prima che si trascinasse a morire in Giamaica. La padrona di casa era Anne Fleming, vedova di Ian. Gli altri membri del cast erano Merle Oberon, Lady Diana Cooper, io e lui. Risi fino alle lacrime, e la pernice mi andò di traverso. (...) Mentre andavamo via mi disse: "Se accetta un piccolo consiglio a mo' di commiato, non si lasci mai intralciare da preoccupazioni artistiche". E' un consiglio che ho sempre seguito. " Cohen makes use of half or slant rhymes in these endings as well. Lines six, seven, eight, and twelve are all half-rhymes due to their similarity in consonant endings. There are also other examples of consonance, or the repetition of consonant sounds, and assonance, or the repetition of vowel sounds, in the text. For example, the words “comfort” and “torture” in lines five and six make use of the same “o” and “r” sounds. The same can be said about the vowel sounds in “cloud” and “without” in line seven. This question keeps running through my mind as every step of my day is having me encounter some kind of difficulty. Alliteration is another technique a reader should look for in ‘What I’m Doing Here.’It occurs when words are used in succession, or at least appear close together, and begin with the same letter. A good example is line three of the second stanza with the words “mirrors” and “movies”.

Once Max had a complete list of potential career options (including advancing in his current role), he narrowed the list down to the top most interesting and compelling opportunities. We then worked through each of those in greater depth. In her soul searching, Sabine identified that she needed to find and surround herself with her “people,” uncovered what she needed to feel safe and secure, learned she needed to delegate more, and discovered that her direct approach was getting in her way. In the last three lines, the speaker declares that he is not going to accept the “universal alibi”. This is likely a reference to humanity’s habit of attributing their actions to a larger human sense of being. It is related to saying something like, “I’m only human, I can’t help it”. Stanza TwoAnother chapter follows an impetuous journey (impetuosity is something of a Chatwinian motif) to Sultanpur, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, in search of that wolf-boy. And, in Maria Reiche: The Riddle of the Pampa, we journey to the Peruvian plains to learn about the Nazca Lines — the extraordinary zoomorphic geoglyphs created two millennia ago by peasants and warriors “assured the anonymity of oblivion” by Spanish invaders — through the eyes of an obsessive German geographer whom Chatwin meets. He adds that he “would have done the same things / even if there were no death”. The poem concludes with the speaker saying that he knows the rest of the world is going to come to the same conclusion he has. He just has to wait. Poetic Techniques
