Vanity Vessel
Can you relate on these poems?
Ok I’m not asking these because I don’t know it but I rather want to know how other people would explain and give their own opinions on how they relate or understand each of the poems.
1. …Think now
History has many cunning passages, contrived corridors
And issues, deceives with whispering ambitions,
Guides as by vanity.
-T.S. Eliot
2. It is morning. I stand by the mirror
And suprise my soul once more;
The blue air rushes above my ceiling,
There are suns beneath my floor…
-Conrad Aiken
3. Too perfect was their dream of paradise!
The alien vessels clanked their anchors, and
The dream was splattered on the bloody beaches.
Prodded by swords, they ate, from proffering hands,
The alien apples breeding restlessness.
While Misereres darkened out the sun,
Eden grew thistles.
-Ricardo Demetillo
4. What wondrous life is this I lead!
Ripe apples drop about my head;
-Andrew Marvell
You have chosen some great poetry there, but your question is so ungrammatical and unidiomatic that it’s hard to tell what you’re asking for. You can’t “relate on” ANYTHING or offer an opinion on “how a poem relates”; the expressions simply don’t mean anything. If you want to know how I come to understand each poem, why not just say so?
1. History is convoluted, bent into tortured shapes, tainted with mean gossip and unworthy ambitions, because it has all been polluted by vanity. It will guide you not to wisdom, but into the most hopeless places of the human heart.
2. The day begins all upside down and I am confused. And every day it surprises my soul, which must put it back in order. The sky is blue, not the air, but it FEELS as if the wind has color, and the world rushes by so fast I cannot grasp it. And not only is the sun in the wrong place, there’s more than one. And my soul has to contend with this confusion and make sense of things every day, “once more.”
3. I do not know this poet, but there might be an allusion to “The Odyssey,” only transformed. Plus an allusion or two to the Garden of Eden, inverted, gets mixed in. These men dreamed of a paradise that was too perfect to have ever existed, and the perversion of the Garden of Eden given to them is more like Hell. The “clanking” hints at slavery in the disguise of the religious promise of perfection–they are transported and fed by “aliens,” those who do not share their dream or ideas. The landing in “Paradise” becomes a place of slaughter; they are urged on by warlike and violent masters; and the apples, the knowledge they gain as Adam did, breeds only dissatisfaction instead of fulfillment. The context is clearly religious and even Roman Catholic. “Miserere” means “pray for us,” and comes from the Hail Mary, and causes an eclipse instead of enlightenment–plus there is a nasty pun on Sun/Son, as if knowledge blots out the redemption of Christ. And the Garden of Eden, neglected, becomes full of weeds that cause pain and discomfort.
4. Marvell actually puns on his own name indirectly, marveling at the wondrous bounty of living. When ripe fruit drops from a tree, we call it a “windfall,” riches coming to us with no effort, pain, or inconvenience, ready to eat and enjoy. Of course, the rest of the poem exposes this illusion.
