Comparing the French Poets

Antony Bush said to me rime is an expression of self thought. It would seem wherefore that metrical composition a personal journey that a poet sh bes with a willing audience. This journey through the poets egotism or consciousness is what allows poetry to be dynamic, enigmatic, and provocative. poetry indeed isnt a way in which a poet butt joint complain slightly a befuddled heart or a broken family but a way in which they can more vividly and truthfully express their meet circumstance and sit metaphor in the place of cliche.For instance, instead of saying my heart is broken a poet can say my heart splinters into a thousand galaxies thereby relating their personal pain into a more valet de chambrely occurrence and thus devising the verse form accessible to their audience. The aim of poetry then is to wee-wee acquireers expression more human when they read lines like We flit each other, fluid affectionate, chaste, matured. You grew up with me, were a boy with me or a female child with me in which Walt Whitman expresses to his ref how he knows them and in keen them he transcends time, gender, and space thereby making the referee a little less l onenessly.That is the goal of poetry, to make people feel less lonely, to have them feel as if someone else has felt their love, joy, pain and rue and made it through these human emotions it gives the reader apprehend that they too will make it through life. In Baudelaires poem One O quantify in the Morning he expresses enthusiasm for cosmos totally. Except, in his third sentence he says ours mean that he is not solely, his passion was to be alone with someone to be left by the realness so that he can exist in a world of two. This is a common account among poets.However, this ours is kinda ambiguous and the reader is left with the pestle that Baudelaire is indeed alone. He enunciates, tyranny of the human panorama meaning he attributes almost everything wrong in the world to humanity and not to simply one person but all people. Is he then an exception? The poem does not say. The poem is notwithstanding definitely pointing discover how sick humanity is. The poet expresses rather masochistic tendencies in wanting to be alone (the turn of the key in the lock) and how he wants to be bathed in darkness.With such metaphors and imagery the poet succeeds in delivering his desire to be alone. In Rimbauds poem niggard the poet speaks of distant distant from humanity (again). This is shown with his allusions to humanity macrocosm a banner of bleeding meat and how existence far from such barbarism, one can be at peace again. He perhaps has had his ken of heroism denied or proven false as this banner (a banner which is carried in battle) is what drives the narrator sort of mad with barbaric thoughts.Perhaps Rimbaud is talking about death. His vision in stating Oh World is a cry of a dying man, and the look floating confirms this argument. Rimbauds poem goes on to stat e something about the world and the treasures of that world that he will miss this statement is stipulation in parenthesis, (Far from the old retreats and the old flames, that are known, that are felt) (Rimbaud line 11-12). He is making a likeness between life and this new place and how two perhaps have their positive and negatives.Rimbaud however leaves the reader in an ambiguous state as he does not seem to favor one state of being oer the other (unlike Baudelaire) but only when makes exhalations about either place and his feeling toward both. In the end, perhaps it is not death he is explaining in his poem, but heartbreak a love over a woman. He states he that he sees the eyes and hair and the floating form before him so in the end, the poem is perhaps more about how being out of favor or out of someones love affects him.
