Summary Of Czeslaw Milosz's Ars Poetica

War and Nazism destroyed thousands of lives and many times these historical tragedies leaked into famous works. Milosz wrote the thought provoking poem “And Yet the Books.” His poem describes books as a separate world, a place to take an adventure and leave reality while slipping further and further into the pages. The stories become alive. However, soon the authors tell of sorrow as the stories are turned to ashes and left blank of the world they once kept. Although the story won't be lost, the books will live on and grow old keeping their young heart. People shall perish, but books live on.

Ultimately, I analyzed the poems from my point of view, and decided how to analyze the utterances. For instance, it could be that when the poet wrote, ''Under your bed sat the wolf'', she did not write it as a symbol, which was the way I interpreted it. Moreover, it could be that the poets tries to convey some messages, which I did not notice. Although the poets influenced my analysis, their role was not truly significant compared to

¨You who crept into our lives with tongues like knives stabbing your words into our skin.¨ The creepy words about evil from the poem ¨Troll¨ by Shane Koyczan. The poem ¨Troll¨ shows that there is evil in the world, different forms of evil, and that we can do something about it.

Through gathering describing words that captured the essence of both war and peace, the contrasts were highlighted. The Renga poem depicts an experience and the ottova rima is more of a heroic style of poetry following a chant.

The two poems of “The Passionate Shepherd” and “The Nymph’s Reply” show contrasting views on love, nature, time, and the material world. “The Passionate Shepherd” shows more about a positive and naive view while in contrast, “The Nymph’s Reply” is more about a negative and realistic view.

Furthermore, Shklovsky was a brilliant critic, closely tied to Russian Formalism and he became one of the most noted figures in the Formalist movement in the early twentieth century; “Shklovsky, Boris Eichenbaum, [Vladimir Propp], Yary Tynyanov, and other Formalists sought to put literary theory on a par with the natural sciences” (Davis 51).
