Conceptual terms:
CH1:
1- Lyric:
Lyric poetry is a poem which is usually a first-person expression. It conveyed the circumstance of emotion instead of a narrative. The lyric speaks to readers to reveal his or her interior life. Unlike a ballad, the lyric usually does not have a plot (i.e., it might not tell a complete story), but it rather expresses the feelings, perceptions, and thoughts of a single poetic speaker (not necessarily the poet) in an intensely personal, emotional, or subjective manner. The subject is written about is relates to a "lyric moment." Often, the lyric is subdivided into various genres, including the elegy, the hymn, the ode, and the sonnet. For example.
_______________________________________2- Pastoral :
Pastoral is an ancient literary mode, and artistic composition, dealing with the life of shepherds or with a simple, rural existence. In pastoral the sun always shines and little work get done. Shepherds make music, write poems and fall in love rather than tending their sheep. The pastoral world exists alongside the actual world, from which it is temporary escape as a kind of unfallen world. It is appropriate that children features largely with it. More generally, pastoral describes the simplicity, charm, and serenity attributed to country life, or any literary convention that places kindly, rural people in nature-centered activities. It is appeared in Greek and Roman literature, in Shakespeare's plays, and in the writings of the Romantic poets. For example, Anecdote from Father by, the Romantic poet, William Wordsworth, has a kind of pastoral setting, with lambs and with the child in 'rustic dress'.
_______________________________________3- Transcendence:
Transcendence is a desire to transfigure or transcend the ordinary. This desire to transcend particular circumstances, or the claim to have done so, is one of the characteristic of Romantic writing. In the poem Lucy by William Wordsworth the real or material is succeed by the ideal or the natural by the supernatural. The poem stresses Lucy ordinary before claiming her to be extraordinary.
_______________________________________ 4- Myth of Origin:
A myth is a traditional tale of deep cultural significance to a people in terms of ritual practice, or models of appropriate and inappropriate behavior. The myth often (but not always) deals with gods and supernatural beings. The culture creating or retelling the myth may or may not believe that the myth refers to literal or factual events, but it values the mythic narrative regardless of its historical authenticity for its (conscious or unconscious) insights into the human condition or the model it provides for cultural behavior. In A Poison Tree by William Blake, the tree bearing a single apple would undoubtedly have reminded contemporary readers of the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Edge, the tempting of Eve by Satan and God's subsequent expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden. In Christian mythology these events are described as the Fall and are regarded as the origin of sin in human life. Blake too wanted to go back to origins, to re-examine the myths upon which society was founded. By rewriting those fundamental stories he believed it should be possible to put right an original misrepresentation. Myths of origin could function as a justification of revolutionary ideas. Even in the tiny space of 'A Poison Tree' we can see Blake going back to the primary myths of his society in order to reinterpret and revise them.
