Abstract:
Philosophy of poetry is a sublime spirit and a superb part of poetry, without philosophy there is no poetry. Philosophy gives an excitement to one's heart, who is a poet or philosopher to feel love, happiness and sorrow which are the very important colourful reflections of his heart. The poet or philosopher writes poem with the help of the important sublime feelings like love, sorrow, happiness, beauty of nature etc. The philosophy of poetry to the objects of the society gives the conscious mind of poet Arun to be an ardent emotion, thoughts and feelings like love, happiness and sorrow. With the help of imagination and ardent emotion, the heavy feelings like love, happiness and sorrow, make a pressure to the poet's or philosopher's mind to give birth the art like poetry. The philosophy of poetry depends on the philosopher's present mental condition which gives the poet or philosopher to be a poet of love, sorrow, happiness, nature, war, etc. The philosophy of poetry plays a very important role to the art like poetry, as the philosophy of poetry develops our proper knowledge to bring change in the society. So to realise the philosophy of poetry of poet Arun' essays I have to research the condition of the poet's colourful mind and the time of the society when the words give a complete platform like poetry.
Keywords: philosophy, love, sorrow, happiness, nature.
Introduction:
Philosophy of poetry is a jubilant condition of the heart of the poet or philosopher. The poet or philosopher enjoys the nature and the society to the core of his heart has to collect the memories and get pregnant with thoughts and feelings like love happiness and sorrow. The pains of the pregnant of conscious thoughts and feelings like love, happiness and sorrow make the poet or philosopher to bear a poem like a mother is bearing a child. The philosophy depends on poet's mind and the real picture of the society, mostly society plays a vital role to create poetry in the heart of the poet or philosopher. The proper philosophy thrives high when the reflections of society diffuse into the sublime spirit of the poet or philosopher like molecular diffusion of our blood. The social picture makes a poet of nature, love, sorrow, happiness, war, etc. So the different types of philosophy create the different types of poet. The philosophy of poetry helps the poets to hide their real picture of hearts into poetry. This philosophy depends on conscious, sub conscious and unconscious mind of the poets. The philosophy of love, nature, sorrow, happiness, war helps the poet to reach an imaginative world and a keen mental power named ardent emotion makes a pressure to give a new platform to the huddled words of the mind as poetry of love, sorrow, happiness, nature, war, etc. I see love poets like John Keats, William Wordsworth, the worshipper of nature; Robert Browning, Rabindranath Tagore, Jibananada Das in Bengali, so on, express their loves in their poetry. I want to write an article on the philosophy of poetry in poet Arun's essays.
Objective :
The philosophy of poetry gives a real picture of the poet's proper knowledge, ardent emotion and feelings, the readers must read the poetry and acquire the proper knowledge of the society. The philosophy of poetry creates consciousness to the readers' acquired knowledge about society, so the readers must read to acquire the knowledge of poetry which is created by the poet, which is also not included to their academic syllabus. Various types of knowledge emerge from different types of philosophy of poetry, poet Arun's poetry is a new type of Z generation of poetry which helps the readers to realise the supreme consciousness of mind. The objective of poet Arun's philosophy of poetry is,- I have to research the way to reach the 'Brahma' i.e. supreme consciousness which gives me an ardent knowledge of z generation poetry by the proper execution of imagination, ardent emotion, conscious mind,sub conscious mind, unconscious mind, thinking power, feelings, concentration, meditation and spirituality etc.
Discussion:
Philosophy of poetry depends on imagination:
Philosophy draws a picture of society through imagination. Imagination plays a vital role to all poets or philosophers. According to Einstein, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."1 Here Einstein gives a special importance to imagination than knowledge, I think knowledge comes from imagination. Imagination makes complete picture of our Knowledge.
According to Swami Vivekananda, "when we use our imagination properly it is our greatest friend; it goes beyond reason and is the only light that takes us everywhere."2 If we use our imagination in a proper way, the imagination will never betray us from friendship, it goes beyond the reason and the light of imagination takes us everywhere. Happiness of imagination gives us a power to our mind to enter proper way everywhere of the society to decorate our philosophy of society into an art like poetry.
Imagination creates the real philosophy on the mind of the poet or the philosopher. If the poet or philosopher touches the sub-conscious mind through imagination and control it he must use his consciousness in a very proper way then give a proper platform to the poetry.
Poet Arun uses his imaginative power to draw the real picture of river, woman, bird and nature, the proper imaginative power helps him to be a philosopher poet Arun who totally rejects the self-pride of life style in his essays.
Philosophy of poetry is related to matter
Imagination to a matter is a common philosophy of poetry. Without matter the poet or philosopher does not imagine, so the poet or philosopher does not keep away materialism to make a solid platform of poetry. According to Lenin, "matter is a philosophical category denoting objective reality which is given to a man in his sensations, and which is copied, photographed and reflected by our sensations, while existing independently of them"3. Lenin gives his philosophical view to the matter, without matter the objective of reality is not copied, photographed and also not reflected our sensations, he gives independent existence of life as the copied, photographed and reflected matter is interrupted by none.
Matter gives the poet or philosopher to recall the sub-conscious mind to think and give the ways like love, happiness and sorrow. If the poet sees a steady red rose he must write a love poem, if the poet sees a dead body he must be a poet of sorrow and also if he sees a river he gives the reader an ambiguous theme.
Poet Arun gives us an ambiguous meaning of z-generation poetry with the use of matter like flowing water of the Subarnarekha river, hair of a woman, sleep of a woman, beauty of a woman, bird, flower, nature etc.
