Romantic poets

The art works, “The Haywain” by John Constable and “The Scream” by Edvard Munch, are two different types of painting that represent the two movements of art work which is Romanticism and Expressionism through their style of art paintings. The well known and well represented the style of art work of romanticism, which is “The haywain” painted in 1821, Constable was the English painter during 18th century. He was a mainly outdoor of landscapes painter that he painted the nature scenery as he saw…

in words of Sister Nivedita (Margaret Elizabeth Noble his Irish devoted disciple), breathed India. He was a personality of multiple facets – a thinker, a philosopher, a saint, a preacher, a leader, a reformer and so on. Very few people know him as a Poet. The English poetry in India brought by the ending years of the nineteenth century has chiefly taken the form of a revival of cultural patriotism, highly necessary for a nation. It also has religious impact on it in the sense that it evolved out…

“Patterns” is a poem composed during the rise of the Imagist movement in modern poetry, Amy Lowell was greatly sympathetic . She eventually became one of its major advocates and leaders. Imagists attempted to break with the traditional forms of poetry, preferring unrhymed and free verses which are more colloquial, economical diction which was closer to the rhythms of speech. In “Patterns,” her best-known poem, Lowell used an irregular rhyme scheme to suggest that expression must follow the…

The poem that I chose to transform into a different medium is “Darkness Starts” by Christian Wiman. The poem focuses on the idea of the evolution of light to dark, taking a positive subject and transforming it to something negative. Each new stanza the poem holds on to the theme of the gradual change and development of people and objects, but restarts with a new subject. Wiman starts off with a house, then trees, then an undefined subject, and finally children. He explores how “darkness starts”…

If Van Gogh wants to draw a hand in his painting, he would draw a thousand hands and pick one from his samples to use. On the other hand, composers uses the similar idea with Van Gogh, but they do use the samples as what we call motivic development to shape the story of symphony and manipulates the emotion of their listener. Like Brahms said in Henschel’s diary entry: “ There is no real creating without hard work.” The success of Amy Beach’s Gaelic symphony was not only because she was a women…

Sunshine, weeds, a brook, and leaves all belong to nature, yet one does not fit in with the others. In most Romantic works, nature radiates a positive vibe. Characters immerse themselves in nature as an escape from the expectations of the towns people and to have a place with freedom. In The Scarlet Letter, Nathanial Hawthorne uses positivity with the forest where Hester and Dimmesdale can interact without the people of the town watching them. However, Hawthorne also explores negativity…

Literary Example: Fahrenheit 451 Analysis: Nature is a big theme throughout the book. Rain and the river represent innocence or cleansing. There is a bit in which Clarisse encourages Montag to taste the rain. This changes him forever and in a way cleanses him. Chapter 11: ...More Than It’s Gonna Hurt You: Concerning Violence Main Idea: Again, just like weather, an act of violence is often more than just an act of violence. While in real life, violence can be meaningless, things are different in…

Treatment of the Poet in Elegy VI Milton identifies two archetypes of poetry in Elegy VI: poetry which flows “out if the wine jar itself”, inspiring dancing, revelry and mirth; and that which flows from pensive sages who drink of sacred water and eat of innocent herbs, satiating their chaste bodies with the only the purest of substances. Milton clearly allies himself with the chaste poets, both in this poem and elsewhere, yet he isn’t as explicitly derisive towards the sumptuous poets as he is…

The continual pursuit for real or imagined landscapes is built around an individual’s ontological pursuit for happiness, having implications far beyond the physical with the potential to restore, inspire and transform the soul. Two composers who’s work reflect this notion is Alain De Botton with his philosophical discourses in “The Art of Travel”, which interweaves personal experiences with those of the past to challenge society’s perception of landscapes, and William Mackinnon’s painting…

A brush on a canvas, pencil to paper. Soft, smooth strokes help create an image of a starry night, a lady who mysteriously smiles, or even a peaceful wooden footbridge in the awake of a magnificent water lily pond. Every artist tells a story through their masterpiece but in order to do so, the artist must be motivated and inspired to create. In the book, Drive, Daniel H. Pink investigates what motivates an individual and how it affects human society. As a result, Pink, as well as others, can…
