SEA GARDEN PDF, EPUB, EBOOK H D (Hilda Doolittle) | 56 pages | 20 Aug 2009 | BiblioLife | 9781113526069 | English | Charleston SC, United States Sea Garden Condos For Sale North Myrtle Beach SC - Sea Garden Condominiums No word does not carry a weight of thought and meaning, the flow is effortless and soft, though rough and hard at other purposeful times. This collection is very environmentally-conscious and the poems can be seen to represent love and the human body or just the relationship between the writer and her ecosystem taken from an eco-critic standpoint. Every poem can somehow be connected to the last or next, through repetition and through vivid themes that circulate throughout the collection. An amazing read! Sep 23, vi macdonald rated it really liked it Shelves: 20th-century , favourites , reads. And now a haiku on the thoroughly delightful collection of poems by H. Hilda Doolittle collected in this small, easily digestible volume: So pure and sublime Of violence and beauty Strongly recommend. A lovely, if slight, collection, with an enjoyable thematic touch. It has left me longing to read more of H. The liminal zones are where we meaning- makers live, knowing well the fragility, wonderful diversity, and challenges of life. Nov 27, David Anthony Sam rated it liked it. In this early and slim volume, you can see what will come in HD's later imagist writing. Here too often the diction of "high poetry" of the 19th Century appears. And too many poems are apostrophes to flowers and objects. But the irregular verse is free, the imagery true, and the language moving towards the modern. Feb 27, Becky rated it it was amazing Shelves: victorian , poetry , wanderlust-for-nature , femtastic. For alas, he had crowded the city so full that men could not grasp beauty, This was gorgeous. Doolittle's poetry is so full of violence and liberation and desire for the chaos inherent in nature that it is staggering. A new favorite find! Sheltered Garden and The Huntress were my two favorites for their forceful wording, ecstasy in action, and evocative reminiscence of savagery. When H. The manifesto indicated: - Direct treatment of the "thing", whether subjective or objective. This is the location for her sea flower variations including her stunning opening poem Sea Rose : Rose, harsh rose, marred and with stint of petals, meagre flower, thin, sparse of leaf[.. Can the spice-rose drip such acrid fragrance hardened in a leaf? This is also the world of Greece, not the marble-aloof Greece of faultless hexameters but that of intense rough-hewn sea-men struggling with waves and wind, sun-burnt necks, love, marsh and enemy spears, flint and goats, furies and bruised thighs, sand and awe-inspiring, growling god visitations riding poplars and splintering pines, desperately striving to reach niggardly, rock gnawn shelters before the pitiless sea claims them as her own. For example, in The Helmsman : O be swift-- we have always known you wanted us. We fled inland with our flocks, we pastured them in hollows, cut off from the wind and the salt track of the marsh. Many warned of this, men said: there are wrecks on the fore-beach, winds will beat your ship, there is no shelter in that headland, it is useless waste, that edge, that front of rock- sea gulls clang beyond breakers, none venture to that spot. IV But hail- as the tide slackens, and the wind beats out, we hail this shore- we sing to you, spirit between the headlands, and the further rocks. Though oak-beams split, though boats and sea-men flounder, and the strait grind sand with sand and cut boulders to sand and drift- Your eyes have pardoned our faults, your hands have touched us- you have leaned forward a little and the waves can never thrust us back from the splendour of your ragged coast. In Loss the sea is in league with a faceless enemy. The sea called- you faced the estuary, you were drowned as the tide passed. Such murderous violence should remind us that, for all its Ancient Greek trappings, many of these poems can legitimately be read as war poetry, published in the midst of the senseless carnage of World War I. This is very 'Imagiste' - I can see why H. Eliot or Ezra Pound who H. Some personal highlights for me: 'Over me the wind swirls. I have stood on your portal and I know— you are further than this, still further on another cliff. Nov 18, P. The BiblioLife facsimile print-on-demand is what a reprint should be, showing as much as budget allows respect to the typographic original with its slightly larger copy. OTOH the Kessinger Publishing reprint is a complete hack job, devoid of attention to proper layout, type, or even proofreading. It looks copied-and-pasted from a public-access Web source. May 01, M. Beautiful, incandescent, intelligent. Favourite lines: Hermes, Hermes, the great sea foamed, gnashed its teeth about me; but you have waited, where sea-grass tangled with shore-grass. This collection made H. There's something so wonderful about her style - it's almost as if it has this sensory flow to it, and your mind is just another element floating through the world she guides you through. Yes, that is a really silly and flowery description, but nonetheless Oct 23, Jessica rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: people who hate poetry. I hated poetry until I read H. Amazing stuff. Written in the 's, she's powerful and feminine. She makes you wonder, "What has the feminist movement done in the last years that has topped this? Apr 29, Kat is currently reading it. I reason: another life holds what this lacks, a sea, unmoving, quiet— not forcing our strength to rise to it, beat on beat— Sparse, solitary, and not one thing superfluous.

On the other hand, the flatness of the images I hardly need to remind you that this is one of the most famous imagist books sometimes left me feeling that all I was getting was a succession of pictures without any significance. Sometimes it feels as if the image is so much itself, and not a symbol of anything, that it is not even It's a hard book to pin down.

As with most required readings, I probably would have enjoyed it better outside of the classroom. Reed, slashed and torn but doubly rich— such great heads as yours drift upon temple-steps, but you are shattered in the wind. Myrtle-bark is flecked from you, scales are dashed from your stem, sand cuts your petal, furrows it with hard edge, like flint on a bright stone. Yet though the whole wind slash at your bark, you are lifted up, aye—though it hiss to cover you with froth. Aug 20, Gina rated it did not like it. There are no discussion topics on this book yet.
