Neruda: Residencia en la tierra - Coggle Diagram
Neruda: Residencia en la tierra
'Galope muerto'
Not necessarily about understanding the words - the techniques and form are key
Change of pace in the poem - lack of structure
Techniques
Alliteration - line 4 'cruzar las campanulas en cruz'
Echoing - attempts to ring the bell to find order - swamped by the rest of the poem
Line length
Varied - no structure - lack of control
Sense of failure in his poetry
Lack of any object - no main verb - poet who cannot write proper lines? Confusion transmitted to us
Semantic field
Hard to find one
'molino', ' ruedas', 'alrededor' - going around, losing control
'Caballo de los sueños'
'Débil de los sueños'
'Unidad'
Running away feel
Ends with a feeling of claustrophobia - 'se reúne rodeándome' - 'r' sound also tight
'Monzón de Mayo'
'Arte poética'
Enjamnement - long, fails to keep a line of poetry, lack of rhythm
Call to find a rhythm - left with 'un hombre confuso' which is hinting at 'un hombre confuso'
'Ritual de mis piernas'
'El fantasma del buque de carga'
General notes
Hermetic poetry - confusion first - difficult to get into
Negative feelings of: desolation, isolation and a fragmented world
This set have 2 word titles - helps us into the hermetic poetry
Sense of order
Regularity in the titles - first meaning order and second word always hazy and cloudy
Attempting to find order but not easy
Residencia en la tierra 1 (1925-31), Residencia II, Tercera residencia
Part 1 sense of trying and longing but part 2 goes into completely negative!!
Themes
Poet
Poetic voice as formless
Women
Female love object is largely absent
Contrast to 'veinte poemas,,,'
Nature
Drastically different portrayal of nature - rotting etc
'Débil del alba'
Not always portrayed negatively - 'ritual de mis piernas' - sense of separation from nature - modern urban world is to blame
'siempre productos manufacturados'
'Débil del alba'
'el día pálido' - sense of being sickly
Greyness, denial of golden colours of dawn
Weakeness of the dawn - supposed to be rebirth instead negative
'sin cascabels' idea of the bells
'ni de forma orgullosa' lack of form
Water imagery - tears and 'lluvia' - inside world representing the outer - world like him is weeping
'Walking around'
Lots of anaphora - battering down, lack of ideas? - Tired, resignation feeling 'marchito' withered
Evokes senses of smell - oils, artifical, negative
English title - so unsure in his own language searching for a new way to express himself
Weak poetic voice
'No hay olvido'
