Pound and Nature
as a tool to describe
-
romantic passion
the absence
The paired butterflies are already yellow with August
=> butterfly = symbol of the soul
=> represent her hopes of finding her husband again
You went into far Ku-to-yen, by the river of swirling eddies,
And you have been gone five months.
=> the river, the water, are shown as what took the woman's husband away
=> full stop shows the pause in their relationship
=> swirling eddies = danger
the monkeys make sorrowful noise ahead
=> contrasts with the usual idea of monkeys being laughing
=> shows her fears and sadness
-
several feelings
-
the passing of time
By the gate now, the moss is grown, the different mosses
the evocation of seasons
yellow with August
The leaves fall early this autumn, in wind
-
the human nature
Bring confidence upon the algae and the tentacles of the soul.
=> marine imagery : mystery
=> plural mystery again
-
compared with humanity
*The apparition / of these faces / in the crowd
Petals / on a wet, black / bough
=> one line linked to the modern world (almost a nightmare, the word "apparition" gives an impression of fantomatic faces)
=> one linked to the natural world, and how it seems much better
=> the natural world is valorised by the contrast between the concrete, dark object and the light, pale one
And I am happier than you are,
And they were happier than I am;
And the fish swim in the lake
and do not even own clothing
=> sense of regret shown by the use of the tense
=> the lower you go in society, (anaphora = stages), the happier people are
=> animals = the bottom of society=> parralelism
Go to the adolescents who are smothered in family Oh how hideous it is To see three generations of one house gathered together! It is like an old tree with shoots, And with some branches rotted and falling.*
=> emotional punctuation
=> "smothered" almost dying
=> nature is used to show the decay
