Quote: Sur la Mort de Marie- "Je lamente sans réconfort, me souvenant de cette mort qui déroba ma douce vie; Pensant en ses yeux qui soulaient faire de moi ce qu'ils voulaient, de vivre je n'ai plus d'envie. . . ."
Synopsys: A Marie Dupin. In Les amours de Marie He speaks to her as she sleeps and continues in Elegie a marie speaking to her about how she will not be forgotten and will be remembered by all who read these writings, he says that all who read the verses will sing of her and her beauty. Sur la mort de Maire he speaks of his sadness and despair after she passes away
Readers Response: I really enjoyed reading A Marie Dupin especially Sur la Mort de Marie because you can really feel his pain and sorrow in the writings. I feel like this is the way that I would feel if my wife or someone close to me had died. I could really feel what he was thinking.

All of these poems seemed pretty similar in theme and topic to me. According to the introduction to this section, he wrote about a greater variety of topics, but from this sampling we have in the book, he seems a little obsessed with women, their beauty, and youth.
My favorite poems was Ode X mostly because I feel like it was something that I could picture happening. How many times have we walked through nature lost in thought? I liked how he used nature to show longevity with the rocks but then turned around and showed how everything can be reborn like leaves on a tree. I wasn't into the depressed love poems that much. I don't want to read 50 lines about how depressing life can be.
Ronsard certainly concentrates on women as his theme and inspiration. In the greek tradition, he has taken on beauties to serve as his artistic and poetic muse. I see also Nature playing a very big role; I would go so far to say that Nature is his biggest muse and that he interprets the women through the prism of his observations of Nature.
The poems of Ronsard were really interesting to read. He is very descriptive, and detailed. He's very good with words, and uses good metaphors like his comparison of youth to a flower. That comparison really helps you to think of youth, and growing old differently.
It is clear that Rosnard has a particular interest in writing towards women. I would consider him a class "A" romantic. I wonder how we would judge these poems if they were written in our day. Overall, I enjoyed most of them. I liked the flow of the poems that rhymed.
Encore une fois on voit une description de l`amour base sur la vie de Marie. Il utilise le symbole de la fleur, la vie et la mort, mais en meme temps le besoin de recevoir cet amour constemment dans sa vie.
