As we have studied the Modernism and its main exponent
authors, we can notice that these poems are totally related to personal aspects
of each author, in which they try to express and transmit a specific feeling
that is tied to a specific situation. Despite being similar emotions, they transmit
them in a unique and original form. Therefore, all of these forms are different
ways to see and understand their worlds, their minds, their way of think and
feel.
As mathematics, poetry give us the possibility to have
different perspectives of life and its problems or "equations", which
every person understands and solves in a different manner. Poetry, despite its
complexity for analyzing and comprehending its contextual factors and
relations, is a kind of guide, a facilitator, that people will only understand
if they speak its same language.
I found really interesting your post, firstly, due to the fact that you quoted a passage of one of Pound's literary criticism book which presents a different facet of Pound, who was also highly influential as a critic.
ResponderEliminarSecondly and the thing that absolutely caught my attention was that you show the relation made by Pound between mathematics and poetry because as many people think maths and poetry are diametrically opposed since it's believed that sciences as maths are fixed and structured thus it's hard at first, to see the relation between maths and the expression of emotions, however, Pound explains it so well that it isn't hard to see how poetry is sort of "inspired mathematics" because as you said every single one of us has different ways of understanding, interpreting and expressing ideas, feelings and realities through a wide array of "equations" given by poetry.
To sum up, I really liked your post since it was something that certainly I wasn't expecting since as I said at first is difficult to see the relation, but once explained it's easier to make sense of it and also you showed a facet of Pound that we haven't covered during classes, the critic one.
I really liked your entry because this extract was not covered in class.
ResponderEliminarI had not thought about a relationship between mathematics and poetry, because when I think in maths I think in a scientific way of seeing things and I think in poetry I think in a subjective way of seeing things,
I really liked the way Pound put a relationship between maths and poetry because I think it is true.
People during their life are going to been through different situation and problems that can be our own "equations" which everyone tries to understand and solve (maybe solving this equation may be harder than maths)
