초록
Lawrence’s metaphors suggest the role of conceptual structures in the matters of openness and transformation. The Holy Ghost is the wedge that pries open the closed system of mechanism, thus opening these doors of receptivity. As such, it is a metaphor for Lawrence’s conceptual schema of inclusiveness, his epistemology of “knowing togetherness.” The underworld in Lawrence’s poems comprises entailments of separation and wholeness, death and birth, sexuality and completion: the underworld is both womb and tomb. The darkness of the underworld is never treated as the whole of life: the seeds push up from the ground; sunset yields to sunrise. Because Western culture has privileged the “light” side of the flux over the “dark,” darkness is the unknown, the fittest subject for exploration. To privilege the dark is as mechanistic as to privilege the light. “Trees” poems expand upon the thematic and mythic content of “Fruits.” They emphasize the secret knowledge that communication with the underworld can bring. “Cypresses” and “Bare Fig-Trees” detail the speaker’s growing awareness of the ‘darkness’ of the underworld; “Bare Almond-Trees” and “Almond Blossom” complete the seasonal cycle which the speaker has led us through the flux of the seasons, reminding us that death and birth, corruption and growth are but poles on a continuum, not separable entities.
Abstract
Lawrence’s metaphors suggest the role of conceptual structures in the matters of openness and transformation. The Holy Ghost is the wedge that pries open the closed system of mechanism, thus opening these doors of receptivity. As such, it is a metaphor for Lawrence’s conceptual schema of inclusiveness, his epistemology of “knowing togetherness.” The underworld in Lawrence’s poems comprises entailments of separation and wholeness, death and birth, sexuality and completion: the underworld is both womb and tomb. The darkness of the underworld is never treated as the whole of life: the seeds push up from the ground; sunset yields to sunrise. Because Western culture has privileged the “light” side of the flux over the “dark,” darkness is the unknown, the fittest subject for exploration. To privilege the dark is as mechanistic as to privilege the light. “Trees” poems expand upon the thematic and mythic content of “Fruits.” They emphasize the secret knowledge that communication with the underworld can bring. “Cypresses” and “Bare Fig-Trees” detail the speaker’s growing awareness of the ‘darkness’ of the underworld; “Bare Almond-Trees” and “Almond Blossom” complete the seasonal cycle which the speaker has led us through the flux of the seasons, reminding us that death and birth, corruption and growth are but poles on a continuum, not separable entities.
