( ) This is a beautifully illustrated collection of Pablo Neruda's Odes to Common Things. As a teacher, this is one book that could be used to teach illustration, attention to detail, appreciation of the small things both by using the book's illustrations as a good example, and through the poetry, to have students see the variety of imagery available even in things they see every day. The only downside I could even come up with in regard to this book was that the bilingual portions would not work well with an english only classroom. Ode to a Book of Poetry Poems ennoble the ordinary: this chair, this table, the guitar, the gillyflower, a bar of soap, a pair of socks, the dictionary, the spoon or plate, the artichoke, an onion or tomato. A common cat is an emperor a conqueror, a parlor tiger, nuptial sultan. Tiny violets deliver something out of the soil, “nocturnal bouquet nestled in green leaves.” Our world is an orange, round like the sun, out of many, one. A pair of scissors has cut clothes for newlyweds and for the dead, peasants’ hair, the thread from your navel, handing you “your separate existence,” pieces of happiness and (face it) also sadness. Dictionaries are granaries of words. As the queen knights a commoner; as the right to vote grants each citizen sovereignty; as a spotlight, at least for a moment, crowns a dancer, or a momument preserves a name beyond departure, so words in order, set in lines to time, carefully crafted and gently spoken, for once, just this once, lift what’s little, what’s often forgotten, what’s overlooked in its dailiness, into sublimity. “A panoply of spoons” shines over all the world, bringing life in loveliness— we hardly notice. This anthology, Odes to Common Things by Pablo Neruda (Bullfinch Press, 2004) is a democracy of images, a verbal aristocracy. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
