Étude de « On the Island » de Patrick MacDonogh by Jean-Claude Castangt

“…Some aspects of this relationship are: an innocent vision; descriptive poetry, without elaborate symbolism; “wonder and delight”; a vision of experience; the ironies of the world; poetry of the open air, not of “the curtained room”: the time and place of the experience and of the enunciation tend to coincide, the mind relaxes and finds itself, silence turns into words, “sweet discipline” has given rise to the poem; towards metamorphosis: identification with surroundings, and anthropomorphic points of view, osmosis.
