Broadway
Hey :)
jeg sidder med et spørgsmål til et engelsk digt kaldet Broadway, som jegikke fatter noget af, håber nogen kan hjælpe :)
Spørgsmålet lyder: Illustrate the way Whitman uses concrete and abstract images, and how he moves between details and wholes.
Digtet:
Broadway - by Walt Whitman, 1880
What urrying human tides, or day or night!
What passions, winnings, losses, ardors, swim by thy waters!
What curious qustioning glances - glints of love!
Leer, envy, scorn, contempt, hope, aspiration!
Thou portal - thou arena - thou of the myriad long-drawn lines and groups!
(could but flagstones, curbs, facades, tell their inimitable tales;
Thy windows rich, and huge hotels - thy side-walks wide;)
Thou of the endless sliding, mincing, shuffling feet!
Thou, like the parti-colored world itself - like infinite, teeming, mocking life!
Thou visor'd, vast, and unspeakable show and lesson!

Der manglede vist lidt hist og pist i digtet:
Broadway - by Walt Whitman, 1880
What hurrying human tides, or day or night!
What passions, winnings, losses, ardors, swim thy waters!
What whirls of evil, bliss and sorrow, stem thee!
What curious questioning glances--glints of love!
Leer, envy, scorn, contempt, hope, aspiration!
Thou portal--thou arena--thou of the myriad long-drawn lines and groups!
(Could but thy flagstones, curbs, facades, tell their inimitable tales;
Thy windows rich, and huge hotels--thy side-walks wide;)
Thou of the endless sliding, mincing, shuffling feet!
Thou, like the parti-colored world itself--like infinite, teeming, mocking life!
Thou visor'd, vast, unspeakable show and lesson!
