Poetry By Metaphor Analysis

"Poetry by Metaphor"

From Petroglyophs to Emoticons people have used metaphors to communicate one way or the other. Amongst the other branches of metaphor, more prominent in the metaphoric vein is poetry. In this paper I will discuss how, revealed scriptures, be it from any religion, are drenched in metaphors. Sarcasm Politics are plunged provocatively in poetic metaphor, and despite the significance of metaphor, a snag subjugate education by poetry, i.e. it cannot be graded.
Extracting an example from the religious scriptures, I will co-relate the language of the scriptures with metaphoric poetry. Religion is a crucial part of life (even atheism itself is a religion), the dovetail of any religion is a holy scripture. 1400 years ago, the book

During grey and colour ages, poetry has kept its flag high, subsequently, it kept people motivated during riots, and augmented the valour of soldiers during wars. A very incumbent example that is till date celebrated is the speech of Winston Churchill.Although, it must have been with great fear and trepidation when British waited for Winston Churchill 's speech, each syllable he uttered was devoured with intense concentration. On that eve of World War II, Winston Churchill wrote a poetic speech that transcended its political context and became a literary "tour de force". Similarly, not so long ago, Black Aesthetics Movement (that uplifted African-Americans in 1960 's) influenced the world of literature as it portrayed different ethnic voices.

This exhibits the inability and reluctance of stationary minds. If something challenges the mind more empirically, it is regarded as clumsy. In an era, where text messaging without an emoticon is considered rude, sense of artistry undoubtedly has been lost. Metaphors provide a stage to language; it performs its art of provoking vivid imagination. Another question that trifles the mind states: Is poetry being archived on purpose? The lack of comprehension in a common man surely benefits rhetorical powers of the world. As in the text of Gorgrias, Socrates debates that the use of oratory is advantageous merely for the orator, and not the one 's who pertains miniscule knowledge of the subject; they are being played in the minds, in the text Socrates put it as " Gorgarian oratory is flattery... it masquerades as something else and pretends to be that thing. It gives no thought to what is best, but uses what is more pleasurable to each moment to ensnare folly and deceive it..."(Dow, Jamie. 2015. Passions and Persuasion by Aristotle. Oxford University Press)
I conclude to the point that education by metaphor is essential in this era through the analysis aforementioned. Agreeably, William James, a famous philosopher, describes the world of newborns is as buzzing and blooming confusion, abstract ideas are pale things compared to first bees and blossoms.
