kubla kan comment

In my opinion, what the writer wants to express throught his poem is a way to find out freedom. For example, in his first quotation the writer says that poetry is something where people can express their feelings as, sadness or happiness. That means, poetry gives us the oportunity to express our thoughts in a true way in oder to touch our feeling's freedom. At the same time, what he tries to say in his second quotation is whatever we write should awake and remove our feelings. In my case, I could feel that sensation when I read his poem. It was something very strange for me because my feelings started to alive in my inside when I read the kubla kan poem. Finally, in his last quotation I could understand why his poem is so difficult to comprehend. I should say it was something very hard to see and understand what the author wanted to communicate. However, later on I caught some things in his writing. For example, sadness, beauty, strange thoughts etc. what I want to say is the writer tries to show us how the reality can change if we have the strength to experiment original things. Because in his last critic he explains that the imagination has to go beyond limits and it has to across the reality line in order to find out new sensations and supernatural things.

Hi Paty,
It was interesting to read your assignment in that there is a clear progression from trying to understand the poem and the author´s feelings, to a stage of making those feelings part of your own experience as a "reader" of the poem. So, the second citation very much applies to you "I could feel that sensation when I read this poem". To interpret a poem not only means to understand it, but also to make the words and meanings part of our own experience. Romantic poets were very much convinced of the power of poetry to get people experience nature, life, beauty, sadness, joy, etc. Nice job!!

Hello Paty:

Your ideas are very interesting. In fact, this poem has the purpose of creating pleasure and a different point of view. Your idea about freedom is the central element in literature. Those arguments about the complexity of the writer in his poetry are a clear manifestation of how some ideas are more deeply than people tend to think. Poetry is a complex and simple way of thinking, it is a mixture, that we have to decode.

Greetings.
