The Poet's Equipment The poet, like all artists, is one of the race's sensitives: one of those more finely attuned to phrase the past and the present acceptably, and sense and phrase the future. The first necessary equipment is sincer- ity. This demands that commonplace phrasings must be avoided, in favor of fresh original expression of individual or group concentrated emotions. If the race recognizes these as its own, to that extent the poet will be hailed as poetically great. Another essential is technical mastery; adeptness in the craft of poetry, skill in handling all the tools of the trade.

Familiarity with all the conventions will enable you to break them and make new ones when your fresh subject matter demands it. Technical mastery is as easy, and no easier, than learning how to raise better peas than your neighbor, or how to build better bridges and skyscrapers than anyone else. Having learned the craft, anyone with an ear for word-music can improvise flawless heroic blank verse or any other form of blank verse by the hour, or improvise elaborately rhymed sonnets with no appreciable hesitation.

This is not poetry. But the familiarity with the craft makes the coming of poetry easier, in the rare hours when the poet has a concentrated word that must be said. Poetic Greatness One can become great poetically, either in his own sight alone or in the opinions of others, without knowledge of the craft.

Homer, Sappho, Villon, Burns, made their own patterns, or poured their burning emotional beauty into ready-made patterns followed without being comprehended. The definitions of patterns were made after- ward, from a scholastic study of poetry widely recognized as great. Such greatness may be achieved by anyone today—the entirely satis- factory expression of one's soul's yearnings. With a complete technical mastery of the craft of poetry, any poet today can achieve complete greatness in his own sight.

Whether he is hailed by others as great, and especially whether or not his name is hailed by his own and subsequent generations as great, depends largely on the extent to which his own concentrated heart-utterances express the desires of the race, in a new, fresh and original form. Given such recognition by the race, an enduring poetic greatness has been achieved. The poet can no more control this than Cnut could act as dictator over the tide. How Poems Come Verse upon any theme, and in treatment ranging from the most ponderously serious to the most frivolously flippant, can be manufactured at any time.

Its technique is comparatively simple. Its devices, meter, rhyme, alliteration, assonance, consonance, stanza arrangement may be mastered as easily as multiplication tables. Poetry comes differently. It is primarily the intellect that manufac- tures verse; but the intellect plays only a secondary part in creating poetry. The desire that seeks expression, which it finds in the poem, springs from a deeper basic source than thinking.

J. Cole - MIDDLE CHILD

Man, indeed all forms of life, are compact of desires. The fulfillment of one desire causes others to spring hydra-like from its invisible corpse. Psycholo- gists tell us that dreams are likewise expressions of desire, in the form of desires fulfilled; that is, wish fulfillments. Much thinking is like- wise wish fulfillment; there is truth in Wordsworth's dictum, "The wish is father to the thought. As one poet has it: Singing is sweet; but be sure of this, Lips only sing when they cannot kiss. Art, James Thomson.

Because of the obstacle, a tremendous inner compulsion comes upon the sensitive poet to seek relief by creating his wish-fulfillment in words: and so it is that poems are born. Inspiration blows from no outer sky, but from the universe of desires within. The woman's insistent inner com- pulsion to deliver her child at the appointed hour is hardly more shat- ter ingly imperative than the true poet's insistent inner commandment to write.

At times the whole poem forms itself within the mind, before the first word is written down. At times a couplet, a single line—perhaps the first, but more often the last—or even a phrase or a mood comes first, with the dominant insistence that it be given the intermittent immortality of writing. The wise procedure for the poet is to write down what comes, as it comes, even if only a single line or less is the result.

As far as possible, write out the poem without delay, to prevent another visitor from Porlock's silencing part of your poem forever, as Coleridge's Kubla Khan was silenced forever. When the poem or poetic fragment is written down, the critical intellect comes into play. If technical mastery has become habitual, the intellect may have no changes to suggest.

The poet who fails to be a critic as well is usually his own self-slayer.

More extended poems, of course, require more preparation and slower writing and criticism. In all cases the danger is more in the overuse of the intellect than in the use of inspiration.

Originality in Poetry The easiest way, in poetry, is to rephrase your own emotional reac- tions in the words and phrases created by the favorite poets of the past: so that a thing is "white as the driven snow," or "red as a June rose. Second-rate poets distrust their own vision, which differs in every case from that of every other person in the world; and hence sag into such uncreative repetitions.

It is wisest to be true to your own differing vision and seek to expand the boundaries of poetry by stat- ing your own desires in your own terms. The weakness of much verse and some poetry of the past is partly traceable to unoriginal teachers of English or versification, who advised their pupils to saturate themselves in this or that poet, and then write. Keats, saturated in Spenser, took a long time to overcome this echoey quality and emerge into the glorious highland of his Hype- rion.

Many lesser souls never emerge. But the critical brain should carefully root out every echo, every imitation—unless some alteration in phras- ing or meaning makes the altered phrase your own creation. The present double decade has splendidly altered the technique of versification in poetry, by the addition of freer rhythms, conso- nance, and other devices in the direction of natural speech.

It has altered the themes and subjects of poetry as much, until the Verboten sign is unknown to the present generations of poets, as far as themes are concerned. If the speech is natural and conversational; the treat- ment sincere and original; the craftsmanship matured—there is no reason in the poet's effort to withhold him from a seat among the immortals.

It is easy to understand and not easy to define. In prose and poetry it means the flow of accented and unaccented syllables. It may be defined as:. The successive rise and fall of sounds, in pitch, stress, or speed; when used of words, depending on accents, pauses, or durational quantities. In classical Greek and Latin poetry, rhythm was not based on accent, but on the conventionalized time it took to pronounce syllables. Sylla- bles were not accented or unaccented, as in modern poetry, from a standpoint of versification; but were long or short.

Since two conso- nants occurring together made a syllable long, and a short vowel made a syllable short when followed by one consonant, the word hon- est was scanned as short-long: the rhythmic stress occurring on the second syllable, not on the first, as with us. Honest, pronounced in the classical Greek or Roman way, would be ta-TUM; with us, it is pro- nounced rhythmically TUM-ta, the accent falling on the first syllable. This one example will show why verse written in English accord- ing to classical rules of scansion, based upon long and short syllables instead of accent, is unnatural and only slightly pleasing to the ear.

It is no more at home among modern poets writing in English than Greek clothing or the Greek language would be. Modern poetry written in English must be in words whose rhythm, based upon accent, tends toward uniformity rather than toward vari- ety. Both prose and poetry have rhythm, the stream or flow of accented and unaccented syllables; in prose the pattern constantly varies, while in poetry it approaches some sort ofregularity. Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory— Odours, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken. Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, Are heap'd for the beloved's bed; And so thy thoughts, when Thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on.

Music, when soft voices die, vibrates in the memory. Odours, when sweet violets sicken, live within the sense they quicken. Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, are heap'd for the beloveds bed. And so thy thoughts, when Thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on. It did not take the line division to make this poetry.

Technically, the tendency toward regularity in the rhythm made it definitely verse and not prose, while its emotional appeal, to most people, makes it poetry. It is equally poetic in either typographic form. Set up the opening of the first chapter of this book in the same line division:. The word poetry is often used Loosely to mean whatever embodies The products of imagination And fancy, the finer emotions. And the sense of ideal beauty. In this lax usage, men speak of "The poetry of motion," the poetry Of Rodin or Wagner, the poetry. This is prose.

No magic worked by the line division can bring it any closer to poetry. Only a comparative regularity in the alternation of accented and unaccented syllables can make it acceptable verse; this, plus the proper emotional appeal, alone can make it poetry. Meter and Metric Feet Meter is a comparatively regular rhythm in verse or poetry. There are four common metric feet used in English verse.

Their names are taken over from classic durational or quantity meters. These feet are:.

The first two feet listed below are occasionally encountered in English verse, the third rarely or never. In practice, the spondee may be used as an iamb or as a trochee; in combination, we may have—. In head -long flight in which the word is used as a trochee;. In actual verse and poetry, never forget that the actual rhythm of the words, as normally uttered in a conversational tone, differs from the artificial scansion pattern adopted. Take one of the most regular five-foot iambic lines in the language:. The curfew tolls the knell of parting day.

Here we have one iamb, two feet consisting of mere accented sylla- bles for which we have no name, and two feet of three syllables each unaccent—accent—unaccent, or amphibrachs.
