"The Romantics" – the ideas beyond showbiz idolatry

Lasă un comentariu

BBC offers a passionate investigation of the ideas that shaped the modern world. The writer and historian Peter Ackroyd introduces the Romantics: „They helped to fashion the way in which we all now think and imagine”.
Liberty
It was a time when freedom was „an alternative way of living”. What it meant then and what it remained today after more than two centuries of Chinese whispers…

Nature
The reshaping of social order included a new vision of natural world as an „escape from commerce and industry”. In the age of mechanization, dreaming of a new world includes to „hold infinity in the palm of your hand” (William Blake).

Eternity
In times of revolution, the fragility of man became a statement, a poetic and spiritual vision. This vision shaped the way we perceive life now.

Ezra Pound and the attack of poetry to being right or being wrong

Lasă un comentariu

This fragment of documentary follows the making of great poetry and it’s clash with reality.

„I resolved that at 30 I would know more about poetry than any man living, that I would know what was accounted poetry everywhere, what part of poetry was „indestructible,” what part could not be lost by translation and—scarcely less important—what effects were obtainable in one language only and were utterly incapable of being translated.
In this search I learned more or less of nine foreign languages, I read Oriental stuff in translations, I fought every University regulation and every professor who tried to make me learn anything except this, or who bothered me with „requirements for degrees.”
