I.A.Richardson Thinking Activity

Thinking Activity


language of poetry is purely emotive, in its original primitive state. This language affects feelings. Hence we must avoid intuitive and over-literal reading of poems. Words in poetry have an emotive value, and the figurative language used by poets conveys those emotions effectively and forcefully.

     Three objectives to write The Practical Criticism:

      To introduce a new kind of documentation:

     To those who are interested in the contemporary state of culture whether as critics, philosophers, as teachers, as psychologists, or merely as curious persons.

      To provide new technique:

      For those who wish to discover for themselves what they think and feel about poetry (and cognate matters)and why they should like or dislike it.

    To prepare the way for educational methods: 

    

     More efficient than those we use now in developing discrimination and the power to understand what we hear and read.

   Metaphors : Sense and Emotive

       

In this Gazal Metaphor of the poet, his/her feeling express by

the seasonal atmosphere. Some words compare like that        

    .પ્રભાત -મીઠી યાદ, શિયાળો  -ઉષમા, ઉનાળો-શીતળતા, વરસતા  આભમાં -યાદ , ઘટા - ચેહરો
