A Definition of Poetry? It must have as many as there are people who love him. Mine, today I borrow it over the head of my family thought of the poet Roberto Juarroz :
"... Poetry ... is an integral and final thought is the thought that feels, thinking that creates, is the verb and transfiguring the opening at the bottom. Oublit ... Poetry does not that deep thinking transforms, as the deep love. "
And Gaston Bachelard , philosopher of science and poetry, to say (The intuition of the moment "): ... the time is vertical ... poetry is now stabilized where simultaneity, by ordering , prove that the poetic moment has a metaphysical perspective, ... the poetic moment is a harmonic relation of two opposites ... where antitheses contract in ambivalence excited, active, dynamic, poetic mystery is a andogynie. "
For me, the praise of the Impossible, is the service we can, perhaps must, go to the Poetry. Roberto would have said: "Poetry is a risky and visionary attempt to access an area that has always worried and anxious man: the space of the impossible sometimes seems that also the space of the unspeakable."
Attempt to elucidate the scope and approach to poetry?, Here's another, from the pen of Yves Bonnefoy : "Words do not offer their full meaning only if it is" out there ", to horizon, as we contemplate what they say. Poetry is ... to bring to light "what the eyes do not discern from here."
But my great passion: Rabindranath Tagore , discovery of late - but perhaps it was necessary that I take myself first of the bottle - and whose writings and philosophy with me at any time now, as the character has mastered all aspects of our multi-uniqueness. Soon there will be on my page "home-home", my blog, a tribute 'verbatim'.
And then, one who is for me in the same vain, that is to say as the undisputed master in the field of Universality in that of 'time out', even in the Timeless, that is to say that other genius, Khalil Gibran. All of his work, in what he holds as perfection of form, as deep as humanity and spiritual vision, was much longer and will be "a Song of Consolation" in our time chaos and transformation in all respects. For Gibran also follows an entry-tribute to my blog.
Here is finally another voice, that of a great thinker of our modernity, after the field of philosophy and science, namely Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker:
"Art is a perception of form (Gestalt) by the creation of this form." The artist seeks the Idea in the appearance. This is why art can not lie. The artist follows the inner voice that teaches immediate and intelligibly, provided the question by giving up completely to his own will. Therefore the importance of anthropological art seems greater than that of science.
For Poetry, for example, I would say it is a language intensified. Said that the language of gestures becomes shaped, known symbols. Is pulled and it was said out of this forgetfulness of self and what the daily expression is seen again as it is. Poetry lives in the tension of wanting to collect, in an immediate way, the meaning in the sign by differentiating more clearly the meaning of the sign.
That is why it is fun where everyday language is serious. But this game has a serious language daily that never reaches.
In this sense, one must concede the truth of poetry, like science, but their truths are different. "In: Science and Imagination , Albin Michel / City of Science and Industry
