Posts Corrections


Correction 1 : “Coleridge's Kubla Khan : The Intellectual Journey”

Coleridge’s Kubla Khan poem starts with an image of nature. It represents harmonious landscapes of a wild panorama and it riches a state of pleasure as the first stanza goes by.

Undoubtedly this piece of poetry tries to awake our inner emotions. As the poems lapses one begins to feel immerse into the poem, and also into the images it reflects. Imagination and emotions are closely linked and even though reason is not part of the concept of the poem, it acts surrounding it not as something reasonable to believe in but it allows you to reach an intellectual beauty through these bunch of passionate words.

What I liked the most about this poem is that it touches you in a way you cannot easily describe. We could agree that this poem is a very simple one, but that is the mayor issue: how something simple is so difficult to explain?








Correction 2 : Existential Problems on Keats’ Life

It is clear that in Keats’ sonnets one can see how his own life experiences are taken and written. This is one of the romantic characteristics we can find. Also we find that the use of the image “vision of the sky” represents the sense of connection with nature.

I think that the sonnets show how he lived, with so much pain along his life and that that he considered himself as a weak person. In the same way these sonnets express the image of death as a form of escaping from his reality.

These sonnets represent the idea of the contraries. I believe this because he describes interesting places although he is not feeling quite well. It is like he is not totally complete. And here is also present the idea of heart Vs brain.
