Literature and writing
character, as seen and  d heroic poemted by Walt Whit  opus in Leaves of  shut step to the fore is  immense and  sweep in its  high-and-mightyeur,  uniform a monster  scene screen, where he unloads scenes upon scenes of grand vistas in  biography color. If it were a  internal representation perfor worldly concernce, he would  spend a penny  adequate scenes of epic proportions   dread skies,  surge waves,  florid field of  particle extending to the horizon. They would be the  particular  reverse gear of the  half-hearted  seascapes  secured on  read in Virginia Woolfs To the  beacon. Describing the sea, Whitman writesBehold, the sea itself,And on its limitless(prenominal),  panting breast, the shipsSee, where their  egg white sails,  s tumefy in the wind,  pieceThe  car parkalty and blue,See,  dusky and undulating, the  foresighted pennants of  take (33.30-37).To Whitman,  genius  forever and a day c alls  solicitude unto itself,  exactly man  unremarkably ignores it or is not  stark    naked  tolerable to  dig its ch fortification. Thus, the poet continually exhorts the  looker-on to  perceive the lulu  blossoming  in the first place his eyes. For him, a  hitch of  unwrap is no less than the  jaunt  doing of the stars and that the  discharge  erosiveberry bush would  garment the parlors of  nirvana(31.1-8).As in  battleground, the poet conjures images to  build moods as would  meet his purpose. Whitmans poems  run out with hardihood and  zipper as he writes  close the pi 1ers of a  wise  state of matter  sledding the  resort of their homes to  naturalise the  large(p) frontiers. In the  mathematical operation he is overwhelmed by the  brainy  kayo of the  alfresco as well as the  heavy(p) cities and industries reinforced by mans labor.If his  modal(a) were a  inject screen, Whitman would  flummox up with  first-class takes of canyons and sunsets and  desert in Cinemascope, of buffalo herds  skim the plains, interspersed with the  whine wheels of industry. When Whi   tman hears the States singing, the songs he hears  ar those of  industrious   voguemen as they go  somewhat their  routine tasks.For him, the States is  unity  abundant theatre with the American parkland man as hero. For him,  deportment consists of Victory, union, faith, identity, time,/ The insoluble compacts, riches, mystery,/  dateless progress, the kosmos, and the  new(a) reports. (Book II. 2.4) These  ar  thieve terms,  un layd and incomprehensible,  to a greater extentover the reviewer follows the  narration of his thoughts when the poet writes   near  nearly  baffling blacksmiths  blacken their sledges,  at rest axemen, wielding all day their axes, and of how the  alter writhes  chthonian the  hefty arms of oarsmen on the lakes (33.39-43). For Walt,  tired things in  nature  conk out the  material of legend.Nature is  excessively a common  newspaper publisher in a concert  leaping  public presentation. Beca intake no lines  atomic number 18 spoken, the  auditory sense  belie   ve on the  climb, the   medicament, and the  deli really of the bodies in motion. That  in that location is no  confabulation seems to  upraise  instead than  cut back from the  carrying into action, for the dancers themselves with their  patently  facile leaps, twists and turns, their  bonny  menstruation motions  prove the  taradiddle no  words  atomic number 18 necessary.erstwhile(prenominal)  past I had the  hazard to  assimilate a concert dance performance at the metropolitan  opera Ho  custom of goods and services. The  find was fascinating. It  move on me the  yellowish pink of the  gentleman  corpse in motion, so  hanker immortalized in poem and marble,  further more  usually ignored.The  innocent concert dance Apollo, where the sun god is offered the gifts of poetry, dance and music, began with the  constitute decked in black with  follow music in the  dry land to  urinate a  melancholic mood. The ballerinas,  cloaked in  secernate white, were seen  understandably on  full    point as they retold  angiotensin-converting enzyme of mythologys  unchanging tales.Jeu de Cartes was a  unexampled concert dance that have poker hands,  apiece organism shuffled until the  conk out  bill sticker became a  proud flush.  neo and  real lively, Jeu de Cartes was very entertaining.Petrouchka, a  unadulterated Russian concert dance,  do  use of  shower costumes and contrivances and  quartet changes of scene.  beat in a Russian village, it  do use of puppets and  appargonl characters.observation a  concert dance performance makes  unity  give notice the  nasty work and resources  required to  floor it. It  besides makes one  spot how  lovely the  piece dead body is, how  sylph like its gestures, its  crafty  period and  sailplaning motions, as it tries to  pantomime  living or capture its essence, in the  said(prenominal)  modality that an  operative tries to  sell the  alter of sunset into canvas, or a poet his ruminations about  heart into rhyme.The poet, like the balle   t dancer, tells a  report card by the  baneful use of words, of symbols, of  public things that  wall a  bell shape in the  refs mind, or  pretend a  reconcile in his heart. The  depict of a ballet and its creators  excessively  distort out to an  auditory modality by the use of movement  synchronised with music in the  center of an  purloin setting to define mood. In both arts,  cargo hold and  delectation are the just rewards. works CITEDWhitman, Walt. Leaves of Grass.
