Strung up to make a show! Or we can meet the universe’s indifference to us head-on and take pride in the fact that we, products of nature, have been instilled with the ability to care, to feel awe in the face of nature’s sublime aspects, and to love.‘Stars are dropping thick as stones’: so begins Plath’s poem about the stars, in which her speaker sits and watches the stars dropping into the landscape, prompting her to consider the universe, eternity, and other seemingly boundless things. combines words (mostly poetry) with music (a varied as I can make it). The end of the poem is ambiguous, allowing for us to interpret this unspecified beloved as Jesus Christ, making this a religious poem (or, more accurately, a poem about religious doubt) as well as a fine poem about the stars.This sonnet by Victorian poetry’s most idiosyncratic writer entreats the reader to look up at the stars on a ‘starlight night’; Hopkins likens the stars to numerous things, from people or ‘fire-folk’ sitting in the night sky, to the eyes of elves, and to diamonds – ‘diamond delves’ likens the stars in the night sky to diamonds in dark mines or caves.
To the Evening Star by William Blake. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Stars are falling, beaming down. Looking up at the stars, Auden says, he knows they are indifferent to him, but then if equal affection between two things – or between two people – is impossible, he would rather be ‘the more loving one’.We might summarise the thrust of this poem as follows: as an individual, we can respond by believing that the universe has a purpose for us; or we can respond by saying it doesn’t, and ask what the hell’s the point of anything.
Stars, that age-old trope of poetry, were now suddenly becoming obscured by industrialisation, lending their ‘poetic’ quality a new poignancy. Stars by Robert Frost. Sylvia Plath, ‘ Stars Over the Dordogne ’. A sort of reversal of Oscar Wilde’s famous line, ‘We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars’: here, we can all look at the stars, but some of us are in the gutter …To look at the night sky is to look into the past: we are looking at stars, not as they are now, but as they were thousands, perhaps even millions of years ago. What an inspired idea to use this beautiful little Hulme fragment as the basis for a piece of music. On a summer’s night, some stars may fall, But I am here to catch them all. So I looked elsewhere on Interesting Literature to see more Hulme, and grabbed a few to start thinking about music for them.The Hulme Raleigh fragment got picked first because I’ve long intended to perform Raleigh’s “The Lie” which had much impressed me as a teenager many years ago, so Hulme’s Raleigh fits into a cluster. It doesn’t actually have a title, and instead is known by its first line, ‘Bright star! Wouldn’t you say? Looking up at the beautiful night sky, the homeless and hapless man longs to grab the ‘star-eaten blanket of the sky’ and wrap himself in it for warmth.
I need to look more at his work, as he seems to be one of the principal English parts of the early 20th Century modernist “American Invasion” of English poetry.The star poem from the same movement I thought of was “Clark Street Bridge” by Sandburg.
But ‘quickgold’ (a Hopkins coinage) suggests ‘quicksilver’, another name for the element mercury (but also faintly suggesting the planet of that name).In just seven lines, the father of English modernist poetry, T. E. Hulme, captures the mood of a ‘fallen gentleman’ sleeping rough by the Thames.
My current Parlando Project (up to 120 pieces posted!) The Housman is great, as is the rest of his small output :)We included Sonnet 14 because it deals with astronomy, so ‘stars’ come into it there. I didn’t know it so thanks for sharing!Our pleasure! But although he may not be able to predict any man’s fortune by observing the Wordsworth evokes the idea that each star is a structure built by God, but also conjuring the notion of heaven, too (people must live in those mansions, so presumably it’s the souls of the blessed dead up there). Hulme poem. We’ve compiled 10 of his best poems (all of them very short) here: I’m also the author of a short poem, T. E. Hulme and Modernism (Bloomsbury, 2013), which was the first book-length study of Hulme to place his poetry (rather than his politics) at the centre of the discussion.Thanks to spurring me on to look at T. E. Hulme’s work! "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" by Jane Taylor This classic children's poem was first published by Taylor in 1806. begins: "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Especially if we consider that in Hulme’s ‘The Embankment’ the setting is modern-day London…Hulme is well worth checking out. It took a few days, but I’ve finally posted my first audio piece with T. E. Hulme words. Evening Star by William Blake. Looking forward to getting your book on Hulme’s poetry later this week.Fantastic!
