out of the lie of no
rises a truth of yes …
making fools understand
(like wintry me) that not
all matterings of mind
equal one violet
-e. e. cummings, selected poems (1923-1958)
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
- William Shakespeare (1564-1616), As You Like It, ii, vii.
I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance
-e. e. cummings, selected poems
(1923-1958
Qui si convien lasciare ogni sospetto
Ogni vilta convien che qui sia morta.*
-----Dante, Divina Commedia
*Here
must all distrust be left All
cowardice must here be dead.
(The
English version is from Dante, The
Divine Comedy, Illustrated Modern Library, 1944, p.
22). -Ed.
She was the single artificer of the world In which she sang. And when she sang, the sea, Whatever self it had, became the self That was her song, for she was the maker.. . . there never was a world for her Except the one she sang and singing, made. (Emphasis Added)
-Wallace
Stevens (1879-1955), ‘The Idea of Order at Key
West’, Harmonium.
The
poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,Doth glance from
heaven to earth, from earth to heaven; And,
as imagination bodies forth The
form of things unknown the poet's pen Turns
them to shapes, and gives to airy nothings A
local habitation and a name.
--SHAKESPEARE
If
one is undertaking to depict a 'section of life', how
avoid a crowded stage? The answer is, by choosing as
principal characters figures so typical that each
connotes a whole section of the social background.
---Edith Wharton (1862-1937), The
Writing of Fiction (1925)
…
Know what she said, Doc? She said, real soft and easy,
Earl, listen to me! When I had my surgery, they took
everything out. I hadn’t felt a thing down there for
15 years. I said, but you were so, so… She said, that
was just for you, Earl. And you’re still just the man
I need. Now ain’t she something, Doc?
(John
R. Guthrie, 'Sex')
The
women poets in The Still Horizon remind us at
times of Emily Dickinson (1830-86) whose awkwardness is
metaphor of life itself. One can never forget her power
of capturing telegraphic thought as revealed in the
images ‘the seldom of the mind’, ‘overtakelessness’, ‘vitalless’,
‘Funeral in my brain’.“She mastered life’s
intricacies by rejecting it (Allen Tate).” The women
writers write with a rich intensity of emotion that is
inaccessible to man. Rare poetic emotion may emerge from
the chaos, if she has ‘a room of one’s own (Virginia
Woolf).’ E.B. Browning, Edith Sitwell, Anne Sexton,
Sylvia Plath, Judith Wright are immortal poets. Polish
poet Wislawa Szymborska, author of more than ten volumes
of Poetry, received the Nobel Prize for literature in
1995.
