Sula Toni Morrison Poetic Language
1,984 wordsAccording to Aldous Huxley, the life of any epoch can only be synthesised by poets: Encyclopaedias and guides to knowledge cannot do it, for the good reason that they affect only the intellectual surface of a mans life. The lower layers, the core of his being, they leave untouched. 1 I like this, particularly the idea of the intellectual surface - a mere surface, with much beyond it - and combined with Jacobson's aforementioned theory, I take this as my starting point: the idea that poetic langu...

That book was written near his death, when he was suffering from tuberculosis, what mig...

However, upon further examination, there is evidence that the notion of delegation of power is somewhat similar between the two. Compared to that of the girls, the means by which the crown of power...
