| सारांश: | Lawrence began and ended his writing life as a poet. His poetry, in spite of some remarkable exceptions, is not the most valuable and lasting part of his work. But it occupies a central position as the instant record of an imaginative experience which is inevitably turned into ideas in the essays or fragmented in the interaction of fictional characters. The growth of Lawrence’s peculiar poetic form was influenced at the start by the Imagists, later to some extent by the Futurists, and more importantly by Walt Whitman, but he fundamentally belongs to the Romantic tradition of visionary poetry. In what he defines as the ‘poetry of the instant’, he gradually explores his intuition and unfolds his vision. In Look! We Have Come Through, love is gained through the acceptance of otherness in creative conflict. In Birds, Beasts and Flowers, that feeling is expanded into the recognition of the non-human quality of the life we share with the other creatures. In the last poems, confidence in life brings serenity at the prospect of individual death. |
