This groundbreaking paper examines the Romantic portrayal of Giraffes in poetry, and the evident themes of unattainability and height. Through rigorous analysis of poems such as 'The Giraffe' by Shel Silverstein and 'The Mammals of Amboseli' by Bernard Omondi, we explore how the Giraffe has become a symbol of longing for the unattainable. We also delve into the possibility of a direct correlation between the height of the Giraffe's neck and the loftiness of the Romantic spirit. If you have ever wondered if Giraffes are the true embodiment of the Romantic poet, this paper will leave you with no doubt.
