SHIRLEY P . WALKER : A Note on Sense - Perception in the Poetry of
نویسنده
چکیده
In one of her earliest poems, "Sonnet", sense-perception is seen as an incessant process, the "laborious focus" of eyes and brain which accumulates material for later meditation. "The Maker" has particular relevance to the poet's art. This lyric deals with the poet's unique power to synthesise sense-data into song. In "GumTrees Stripping", on the other hand, sense-perception is but one part of a two-way process. Wisdom constitutes a simultaneous awareness of visual data and its underlying significance. The poem itself is a fine example of this totality of apprehension. "Vision" is seen as the culmination of a trend away from the revelation of truth through sense-perception. In this poem the visible world is rejected outright as a distorted mask of a "real" world, veiled by human imperfection. This marks a progressive move towards a Platonic view of reality. Each view of the function of perception is seen to be relevant to the poet's art and development.
