William Butler Yeats

The Irish poet and dramatist William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was the leader of the Irish Literary Renaissance during the early 20th century. Yeats\'s early lyrical poetry and drama drew inspiration from Irish legend and occult learning, but his later writing became increasingly engaged with his own time. W. B. Yeats, b. Dublin, June 13, 1865, d. Jan. 28, 1939, was perhaps the greatest English-language poet of the 20th century. The major defining elements of Yeats\'s poetic career were visible by his 24th year. He had formed a profound attachment to the county of Sligo, where he stayed for long periods while living in London (1867-83); his interest in the occult led him to found (1885) the Dublin Hermetic Society and to join (1887) the London Lodge of Theosophists; his 1885 meeting with the nationalist John O\'Leary prompted his discovery of Ireland as a literary subject and his commitment to the cause of Irish national identity; in 1889 he fell in love with Maud Gonne and published...

Édouard Glissant

Edouard Glissant (born in Sainte-Marie, Martinique in 1928) is a French writer, poet and literary critic. He is widely recognised as being one of the most influential figures in Caribbean thought and cultural commentary. He studied at the Lycée Schoelcher, named after the abolitionist Victor Schoelcher, where the poet Aimé Césaire had studied and had come back to as a teacher. Césaire had met Léon Damas there; later in Paris they would join with Léopold Senghor, a poet and the future first president of Senegal, to formulate and promote the conecpt of négritude.

Raspunsuri anticipatorii Pentru care motiv cele mai multe poeme ale mele nu au rima 1.Au rimat pina cind cineva a izgonit cuvintele care rimau. 2.Absolut toate combinatiile de rime sint de nefolosit. 3.Daca doriti rime,puteti gasi un milion de poeme rimate,in engleza(studentii si-ar afla o indeletnicire placuta insiruindu-le pe toate intr-un lant.) 4.Grecii se abtineau sa rimeze si romanii la fel. 5.Rimele se potrivesc pentru song,nu pentru poeme si-n zilele noastre e mai greu sa nu rimezi. 6.Lumea nu rimeaza,atunci de ce ar rima poemele mele? Pentru care motiv cele mai multe poeme ale mele nu au sens. 1.Cele mai multe poeme oricum nu mai au sens. 2.Arta obisnuia sa fie furibunda,facind ordine,acum e furibunda pentru a face dezordine. 3.Indatorirea poeziei nu e de a da un anumit sens,ci de a reface un anumit sens. 4.Sensul mai exista inca,dar in zilele noastre il deslusesti printre rinduri. 5.Totusi zarim lumea si ca intr-un delir,idealurile noastre. 6.Ele au un sens neobisnuit,ceea...
