초록
This study is to figure out elemental images and the balance with nature & culture in Seamus Heaney's poems. In his whole work, we can find poetic process from earthly images to airy images, which can relate to Bachelard's four element theory. The correlation between nature and culture, between place and language, between earthy rootedness and airy imagination can perform a key role in Heaney's poem, especially bog poems such as “The Tollund Man”, “Bogland” etc. The bogland as a wet center or combination with earth and water, can relate to richness and feminine productivity with sorrowful Irish history. The elemental images are applied to Heaney's poems in order to distinguish between his earthy phase and airy phase. The earthy phase with water and downward movement are found until North, and the new airy phase with light and upward movement are found from Field Work. Though his poems reveal unfair Irish history through victims beneath the bogland, he also reflects the present daily lives and elemental materiality with Irish natural landscape on them, yet never avoiding the past culture.
