Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Representative American Poetry When artists begin to play and to put new wings to their fancies, we are on the eve of a great artistic awakening. The new schools of poetry that are springing up almost daily are significant not so much because of the intrinsic worth of this new poetry, but because of the fact that these attempts show a vigorous imagination that is too rich to be satisfied with the old channels of expression. The experiments of our futurists, our imagists and what not-ists may seem to many child´s play. But they are the play of children whose toys are the eternal thoughts of God. These poets are only trying in their own way to model imperfect images of creation. But the material they work with is compounded of the flame of the heavens and the dew of the earth. The laughter that leaps forth from the hearts of these new poets often sounds ridiculously childish. Yet in the laughter of children and of poets the voice of God is often heard. These experiments, though often crude, are almost always sincere. And a note of primeval purity steals into the harshest voice, if only its tones are sincere. The new poetry is therefore significant both as an achievement, and as a symptom. The essence of true poetry will always remain the same, however the forms may vary. The rising and the setting of the sun are forever unchangeable; but when artists are beginning to see the sun´s splendor in new ways, when they are looking at it with new spectacles of fantastic colors and fanciful shapes, they do not, to be sure, disclose to us new suns, but they show us that there are as yet many hitherto undiscovered angles from which we may see the old sun in a thousand and one new lights, discovering glories undreamt of before. The new poets are playfully trying to invent an instrument whereby we may sense that world which heretofore has remained a closed book to us.
