5. What effect does the poem have on you? Do you think the poet intended such an effect?

At first I though, oh no not another love poem, but it turned into more of a psychological treatise on love and the effects that is has on a person. I could empathize with the feeling of being in love with two people equally and understand the dilemma the poet was in. I think the effect is both intentional and affects the reader on both a conscious and subconscious level. You can feel the angst the poet is experience in your "gut" as well as your intellectual understanding of the problem.

6. What is distinctive about the poet's use of language? Which words especially contribute to the poems...

...

The poet uses the image of cupids arrows, with mythological bestow love but also pain when they pierce your heart, as the feeling of dichotomy that arises when trying to love two lovers. My favorite use of words is in the second stanza, the last line in particular.
But when Alexis I do miss,

Damon gains nothing but my scorn.

But if it chance they both are by,

For both alike I languish, sigh, and die

The last line is both melodramatic and sweetly sublime and truly draws the reader into the poets feelings and dilemma.

While the same-sex parent is important in a child's life, the opposite-sex parent is also tremendously important. For the 90% of the population that are heterosexual, the opposite sex parent is the person who teaches them how to have romantic relationships.

Luther's concept of the "liberated Christian" allows for both an almost existential responsibility and an odd passivity on the other hand. Humans are responsible for creating faith within themselves, but having once accomplished the achievement of faith, they can simply allow themselves to exist in the cocoon of divine love.
