made it possible. That is right‚ I am talking about “The Great Communicator”(1999)‚ the eulogy to Northrop Frye. Like every other eulogy‚ the main idea of the article is to describe how big the loss was to us upon Frye’s death. Atwood gave numerous examples vividly in a relaxing tone‚ and those examples served as an entity‚ defining who Northrop Frye was. In the first paragraph‚ a typical lecture from Frye was described as “ in pure‚ lucid‚ eloquent‚ funny and engaging prose‚ for the space of an hour”

“To The Evening Star” Some say that imagination has no boundaries‚ but in fact it does and this concept preoccupied William Blake. Blake – an English poet‚ engraver and mystic of the late 18th century – believed that imagination is “the body of God” (Frye et al. 50). Thus it is not surprising Blake ’s poetry is imbued with these two concepts: on the one hand there is desire to understand a higher power as reflected in his Biblical symbolism; on the other hand imagination is central to Blake’s poetry

"Powerful poetry so often springs from the most ordinary or even the ugliest of ingredients" Poetry can be deemed powerful for many reasons‚ however‚ in the case of “Songs of Innocence and Experience” by William Blake‚ it is powerful due to the complex theological and philosophical ideas that he explores. Furthermore‚ what is interesting about Blake is that his poetry‚ on the surface seems simplistic in language‚ structure and form‚ and thus one could argue that the power of Blake’s poetry is determined

Northrop Frye in ‘The motive for metaphor’ compares science and art. The common element between the two seems to be imagination. In science it becomes the final element and in art the starting point. In Frye view‚ a scientist examines the world which we are given to live‚ scrutinises all the data and attempts at forming certain theories which would underlay the rules governing the world. I doing so‚ he moves from the known realm‚ tangible world towards the concepts in his mind‚ therefore a creation

In William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience‚ the gentle lamb and the dire tiger define childhood by setting a contrast between the innocence of youth and the experience of age. The Lamb is written with childish repetitions and a selection of words which could satisfy any audience under the age of five. Blake applies the lamb in representation of youthful immaculateness. The Tyger is hard-featured in comparison to The Lamb‚ in respect to word choice and representation. The Tyger

Bailey Krasovec Garden of Love Explication When considering the many works of William Blake‚ the poem “The Garden of Love” withstands to me as one of his best poems‚ and one that can be interpreted in a vast number of ways. After reading literary criticism on this poem‚ it was interesting how differently the author of the article critiques the piece‚ in comparison to how I myself had originally perceived it. In my opinion‚ William Blake is a poet of great complexity‚ who before his time had

“The Tiger” Reflection William Blake seemed like a supernatural poet who thought about the unknown of the universe and pursued to solve them. In his poem "The Tiger"‚ Blake questions the mentality of this so called “God” to create such a violent and harmful animal after having created a kind and gentle one such as the lamb. To understand the poem I had to fully understand the thoughts of the speaker‚ in which there is not a clear addressee‚ considering that the speaker didn’t mention who he or

An Incomprehensible Mystery William Blake’s The Tyger‚ in my opinion‚ is an intriguing poem that looks at the idea of how God is a mystery and how humanity is at a loss to fully understand his creations by contemplating the forging of a beautiful yet ferocious tiger. Blake begins the poem by beginning a conversation with the tiger and almost immediately begins his questions of who could make such a fierce creature. He wonders if God could really create such a creature or maybe it is a creature
