Abstract

This article offers a comparative analysis of two elegiac verses penned in homage to Queen Elizabeth II – Kathleen Jamie's "Lochnagar" and Simon Armitage's "Floral Tribute." The intent is to elucidate the function of nature symbolism in these literary creations as they pertain to the life and legacy of the Queen, and their role in shaping public remembrance of historical figures. Furthermore, the study attempts to discern the nuanced variations between English and Scottish elegiac traditions as represented by the poets' respective titles of Poet Laureate and Makar, and their manifestations in the verses. The exploration of these motifs provides valuable insights into the abiding influence of elegiac verse in commemorating historical personalities and the poets' cultural milieu in shaping these poignant tributes.
