Ars Poetica by Archibald MacLeish

"A foolish fool is better than a stupid wit." Shakespeare, like his artistic genius, offers an excellent example of the way the world speaks. Another example to be pointed out as an inspiration for this article is provided by Ars Poetica of Archibald MacLeish. In this verse, he explains how he thinks that he should have a poem: "Poetry should not be meaningful." It is important. It should exist physically rather than something outside the dictionary.

The poems of "Ars Poetica" by Archibald MacLeish can be summarized in the last section. Poems, like other arts, should be seen as images. With that image, readers can judge what they mean for them through their own experiences. Compared with other forms of poetry, the author of the poem tries to guide the emotions of the reader and the information he receives. Poems usually consist of different words, it is easy to understand the meaning from each word itself without treating words as images. When McLeish said "Poeties must be silenced / with the flight of birds", he said that this poem does not need to give emotions to readers, but like the bird's wind, the reader's experience They show a more personal meaning

Archibald Macleish provides readers with a very unique perspective revealing the poems of Ars Poetica. McLeish leads the reader to believe that poetry can never be analyzed as poetry has no meaning. For McLeish, good poetry is eternal, many years have passed. The title is Latin Ars · Poetica which expresses "art of poetry". Here, the poem itself becomes a reflectional explanation of the poet itself. Continuous verses of poetry are related to the long-term concrete things of the world. "Global fruit", "medal", "window frame" are listed consecutively. In connection with these persistent images, McLeish associates readers with the impossibility of poetry. As McLeish said, this poem is certainly impossible as it should be "silent." On the contrary, McLeish 's poetry is inherently metaphysical.
