Many poems are filled with metaphors and underlying ideas about deeper things and more broad issues or feelings. I personally feel that "To Marguerite" is an example of this, where the poem is bursting with stylistic devices, each of which contribute to the underlying ideas of the poem.
"To Autumn" is the 'other' kind of poem in my opinion. It's been described as "nearly perfect, but doesn't have a lot to say". If I'm not wrong, its only aim is to describe/praise Autumn. How would one effectively comment on Keats' writing in such a context? The poem is bursting with imagery, but how do you comment on it?
What I'm looking for is quite simply examples of commentary on devices in the poem "To Autumn", which would help me further develop my own interpretations. Within commentary, I would look for the identification of devices and the discussion of their effects with respect to maybe a theme or the development of tone, or anything else that may be relevant. Thank you for your answers and please take into consideration that I am a high schooler (more specifically, part of the IB program).
My final goal is to be able to write an IB-level commentary of sufficiently high standards on this poem.
