Activity on Reading short Modern Poems

Image
Modernism is a literary and cultural international movement which flourished in the first decades of the 20th century. Modernism is not term to which a single meaning can be ascribed. It may be applied both to the content and to the form of a work, or to either in isolation. The term modernism encompasses the activities and output of those who felt the 'traditional' form of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social and political condition. 10 very short Modernist Poem: 1.The Embankment by T.E Humble: Once, in finesse of fiddles found I ecstasy, In a flash of gold heels on the hard pavement. Now see I That warmth's the very stuff of poesy. Oh, God, make small The old star-eaten blanket of the sky' That I may fold it round me and in comfort lie. This poem deals with the theme of nostalgia. The poet presented with contr...

1.what connection do you see in the setting (“A country road. A tree Evening.”) of the play and these painting? The setting of the play inspired by the painting 'longing' by Caspar david Friedrich. Yes, in play and painting we find connection between both. We observed the play of “hope” and “despair” in human life. 2. The tree is the only important ‘thing’ in the setting. What is the importance of tree in both acts? Why does Beckett grow a few leaves in Act II on the barren tree -The tree has four or five leaves? Ans:Tree is the important symbol in both the acts.in the first act tree is barren, so it suggests of world war and In the second act we find some leaves four and five leaves on the tree, it suggests hope. 3.In both Acts, evening falls into night and moon rises. How would you like to interpret this ‘coming of night and moon’ when actually they are waiting for Godot? Ans :- Night signifies 'END' 'coming of night and moon rises' it is sh...
