E. E. Cummings and Baudelaire's dog.
[ send me this essay ]
(3 pp) Baudelaire writes of a dog that was in love with its own feces, and disdained all those nice cover-up smells. Comparisons have been made with the public in general who disdains the experimental in the same way. What is happening is not obscene or even foul smelling, rather it is the dog is familiar with its own smells, and may even be content with them. When basic functions are described it - the dog - the public - has difficulty with change. Translating change into dog shit does take some getting used to - Baudelaire loved being graphic, and sometimes that takes getting used to as well. That same quality of foreign-ness can be applied to the work of poet, E.E. Cummings.

The writer argues that as Thoreau demonstrated when he secluded himself in the woods and wrote Walden, nature holds many secrets to the human heart and finding a relationship with nature can open up mystic vistas that were previously unknown to the individual. This appears to be what Earle Birney is saying in his Poem "Bushed." In this highly lyrical and evocative work, Birney seems to be saying that the human minds cannot grasp fully what nature is trying to say, but it is extremely important to listen nonetheless.
