Το μέγα ύδωρ

Rate this book
Η ποίηση της Έμιλυ Ντίκινσον, όλη σχεδόν επιθανάτια, πραγματεύεται, κατά τρόπο εξωφρενικά διαυγή κάποτε, την αθανασία για την οποία δικαιούνται ίσως να μιλούν ακόμα οι άνθρωποι -ή δεν δικαιούνται. Μοιάζουν όλα μεταφυσικά παράδοξα τα οποία βρέθηκαν αίφνης να αντλούν τα αποδεικτικά στοιχεία του συλλογισμού τους από τον φυσικό κόσμο. Πουλιά, δέντρα, φυτά, νερά, πέτρες, άνθρωποι, το χώμα -όλα γίνονται μέρη ενός πρωτοφανούς μεταφυσικού επιχειρήματος, μιας πυκνής υφής διανοημάτων που διαδραματίζονται μέσα στον πυρήνα του λυρικού "εγώ" και έχουν ως σταθερή αναφορά τη θνητότητα. Η αθανασία της Έμιλυ Ντίκινσον, σφυρηλατημένη πάνω στην πραγματικότητα του θανάτου, δεν είναι αίτημα ή θεολογικό αξίωμα· είναι μια επώδυνη υπόθεση εργασίας για την κατανόηση του φυσικού κόσμου και όρος της συνάφειάς του με τον ανθρώπινο νου. Δύσκολα θα βρει κανείς στον δυτικό κόσμο ποίηση τόσο βαθιά αλληλέγγυα με τον πόνο της θνητότητας.

Emily Dickinson

1,555 books6,900 followers
Emily Dickinson was an American poet who, despite the fact that less than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime, is widely considered one of the most original and influential poets of the 19th century.

Dickinson was born to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. After she studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst. Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room. Most of her friendships were therefore carried out by correspondence.

Although Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime.The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation.Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends.

Although most of her acquaintances were probably aware of Dickinson's writing, it was not until after her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Emily's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that the breadth of Dickinson's work became apparent. Her first collection of poetry was published in 1890 by personal acquaintances Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd, both of whom heavily edited the content.

A complete and mostly unaltered collection of her poetry became available for the first time in 1955 when The Poems of Emily Dickinson was published by scholar Thomas H. Johnson. Despite unfavorable reviews and skepticism of her literary prowess during the late 19th and early 20th century, critics now consider Dickinson to be a major American poet.

Eισαγωγή στην Ντικινσόνια ποίηση

Κρύφτηκα μες το άνθος μου και μπήκα
στο βάζο σου να μαραθώ,
ανύποπτος για μένα μήπως νιώσεις
κι εσύ μια μοναξιά σχεδόν.

Η φήμη είναι μέλισσα.
Έχει κεντρί, έχει τραγούδι -
Α, έχει και φτερά.
