The garden as a place of longing in modern poetry

The modern poets have perceived the garden as a place of relaxation, inspiration and consolation. In their poetry they described the beauty of the garden and used its symbolism to express their thoughts and emotions. The garden is a place where you can enjoy nature and connect to it.

In this sense, the garden is often used as a metaphor for life itself. The modern poetry also shows us how the landscape of the garden has changed over time. It used to be a place of silence and loneliness, while today it is often a place in social life. Despite these changes, however, the garden remains a source of inspiration for modern poets and writers.

Bertolt Brecht ventured to a new work and opened it with a gentle poem about his "flower garden" on Lake Schermützel. Already in California, in August 1943 he had expressed his enthusiasm for the "blowing up of the garden" to encourage the green.

The importance of the garden in modern poetry

The garden is a place that plays an important role in modern poetry. It is often portrayed as a place of longing where you can withdraw from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and come to rest. But the garden means much more for the authors.

The poetry book "What parsley knows about the soul" (2020) by Alexandru Bulucz describes his childhood memories in Romania. The author has profound discussions with the tree bark and lets his thoughts and associations revive in a poetic form (see FAZ - gardens in contemporary poetry: only what the paradise is useful is completely beautiful )

The experiences between onions and nettles are put in the foreground in a gentle and quiet tonality. The reader is taken on a journey that is shaped by a souvenir overflowing and appeals to the senses in a unique way. Spinat becomes a minor matter, while the beauty and uniqueness of nature focuses on.

For many other authors, it is a source of inspiration and consolation. However, the landscape of the garden has changed over time. While he used to be a place of self -sufficiency in the past, it is more of a place of relaxation and relaxation today. Writing about the garden has also changed. In the past, concrete plants or flowers were often described, today it is more about the mood and atmosphere in the garden.

In her volume of poems "borrowed landscapes" (2016), the poet Marion Poschmann into the world of garden culture with the essential desire for a lost paradise, called "homesickness to Eden" .

In doing so, it conveys a calm and gentle tonality that puts the reader into a calming atmosphere. The poem illustrates the deep human tendon after an idyllic place that is familiar and safe. Marion Poschmann presents her poetic vision in a unique and unmistakable way by incorporating synonyms and a personal note into her words.

In the middle of the extensive Rominter Heide von Göring "tree of knowledge" is enthronic . A nature of nature that has attracted attention for centuries and arouses people's curiosity. Anchored its roots deep in the earth, he proudly raises himself into the sky and radiates a special energy that gives every viewer a feeling of calm and gentleness.

A place where you can lean back and let your mind wander while admiring the beauty of nature and diving into the vastness of the forest. A real treasure that reminds us of how precious our environment is and how important it is to protect and preserve it.

In her poem band "Epicurs Garten" (1995), Ulla Hahn life " . In a lyrical report, I meet the ancient protagonist alongside a Yysopa Lower in New York. The philosopher, who once discussed joy in his Athenian garden with his students and is known to his colleagues as a hedonist, gives her a lesson:

Without knowledge of nature you can not
enjoy joy completely ... Green is life
... The meaning of life is
life. "

I was concerned about the unexpectedly picturesque garden. The flowers whispered quietly in the wind and the sun's rays played on the leaves. The scent of fresh grasses and flowering buds was in the air and gently enveloped me.

I felt like in another world, secluded by the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was as if nature loved me into her arms and gave me an unforgettable experience. "

Rainer Maria Rilke is right - this garden is a place of beauty and peace.

Topics treated in modern poetry

Modern poetry deals with a variety of topics that use the garden as a place of longing and source of inspiration. Nature, flora and fauna are often part of modern poetry, as are human experience in terms of love, loss and transience.

The garden is often used as a metaphor for life itself because it represents both beauty and threats. Many authors use the garden as a symbol for the human spirit and its development. It is a place of calm and relaxation, but also a place of challenges and fights.

The garden becomes the Mirrors image of human emotions and experiences, from joy to grief and loss. In modern poetry, the garden is often seen as a place of transformation, where people can reinvent themselves or find new ways to deal with difficult life situations.

The topics treated in modern poetry are diverse and reflect on our relationship with nature and our search for meaningfulness in an increasingly hectic world.

The symbolism of the garden and its meaning for the authors

The symbolism of the garden can be interpreted in different ways and has its own meaning for each author.

It is a symbol of life and nature , but also for transience and death .

In many poems, the picture of the garden is used to express topics such as love , pain or loneliness . The garden is therefore not only a place of beauty, but also a place of symbolism.

Some see the garden as a symbol of paradise or as a place of purity and beauty.

How the landscape of the garden has changed over time

How the landscape of the garden has changed over time is a topic that is closely associated with the development of modern poetry. In earlier times, gardens were often only accessible to noble and wealthy citizens and were viewed as a status symbol.

The design was often very formal and strict, with geometric patterns and symmetrical arrangements of bushes and flower beds. However, this changed over time, and gardens became more accessible to the general public. The design became more natural, with curved paths and a larger variety of plant species.

The meaning of the garden in modern poetry has also changed. While it used to serve as a place of rest and relaxation in the past, it is often seen as a symbol of life itself.

The changes in the landscape of the Gartens mirrors n also resist the changes that have taken place in our society - from the rigid class system to more open interaction with each other and a new understanding of our environment.

How writing about the garden has changed over time

How writing about the garden has changed over time. The writing about the garden has changed significantly over time. In the past, the garden was often considered a place of standstill and calm. He was a place where you could withdraw to flee the challenges of everyday life.

In modern poetry, the garden is often shown as a source of consolation and inspiration. The authors use it as a place of reflection and self -discovery.

Overall, the letter about the garden has changed over time, but the importance of the garden as a place of longing remains. The garden is a place where you can withdraw and arrange your thoughts.

It offers space for inspiration and creativity and is still an important source for modern poets today.
