Black cat

A ghost, though invisible, still is like a place your sight can knock on, echoing;
but here within this thick black pelt, your strongest gaze will be absorbed and utterly disappear:

just as a raving madman, when nothing else can ease him,
charges into his dark night howling, pounds on the padded wall,
and feels the rage being taken in and pacified.
She seems to hide all looks that have ever fallen into her,

so that, like an audience, she can look them over,
menacing and sullen, and curl to sleep with them.
But all at once as if awakened, she turns her face to yours; and with a shock,
you see yourself, tiny, inside the golden amber of her eyeballs suspended,
like a prehistoric fly.
Rainer Maria Rilke



Rainer Maria Rilke was on December 4 1875, in prague. He pursue a literary career by the time he enrolled in Charles Universitu in Prague in 1895, he had already published his first volume of poetry, Leben und Lieder, the previous. At the turn of 1895-1896, Rilke published his second collection, Larenopfer (Sacrifice to the Lares). A third collection, Traumgekrönt (Dream-Crowned) followed in 1896.

That same year, Rilke decided to leave the university for Munich, Germany, and later made his first trip to Italy. In 1897. Rilke went to Russia, a trip that would prove to be a milestone in Rilke’s life, and which marked the true beginning of his early serious works. The title name of Black Cat of the poem that he created is represented a spirit that likes to hide their identity in the darkness. This poem is played to common reaction to fear of. Narrative were used in this poem because, there is a strong narration, and plot. It has an identical references to the sense of fear that which makes a shudder.

The event on the poem, the author is referring to in the world and there are mountains of secondary on his poetry, his prose works are not given nearly so much attention, it also referring to the study of the psychology of guilt. The background or the setting of the poem is the sense of fear that clouded people’s mind and soul to be afraid and fear change through the dark path they have to go through, the mood and the tone is very strained. The end of the poem is about shocked and tense.

When you take something directly from another source, as you have with this line for instance, "That same year, Rilke decided to leave the university for Munich, Germany, and later made his first trip to Italy": https://poets.org/poet/rainer-maria-rilke You will want to quote it: " ", and cite from where you've taken it... in fact the whole first paragraph and into the second is ripped from poets.org

Some grammar issues.

Where is the annotation?

Can you put your name and class as well.
