00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,920
Assalamualaikum. Good morning everybody. How are
2
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,380
you today? Good. I don't see many students here.
3
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:29,140
Right. Today, I'm going to surprise you and slow
4
00:00:29,140 --> 00:00:33,420
down the class. I know that we're expected to have
5
00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:39,860
Sydney, but it seems like we have to slow down
6
00:00:39,860 --> 00:00:44,200
here in order to give time for other classes to
7
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,520
catch up. So it's our chance today to look back
8
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:55,160
again at rhyme, rhythm, and some areas in the
9
00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:02,520
critical plan. But before we start, you know, as
10
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:10,100
usual, I need somebody like to read a report. Yes?
11
00:01:20,740 --> 00:01:24,020
Hate you, Mr. Report. At the beginning of my
12
00:01:24,020 --> 00:01:27,780
report, let me begin with admission that I hate
13
00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:30,780
writing reports, even though I like the class of
14
00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:33,660
poetry. Feeling that you have nothing to write
15
00:01:33,660 --> 00:01:38,100
about feeling, that you have nothing to write
16
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:40,860
about feeling makes me hate the assignment of
17
00:01:40,860 --> 00:01:43,600
writing reports. But I like writing reports
18
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,320
because it is at least has a theme or idea to work
19
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,040
on and write about. To talk about love picture, it
20
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,300
was enjoyable there. I didn't feel the time
21
00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:59,420
passing us. It was a nice lecture to learn about
22
00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:03,060
metaphor, irony, and image. After I just know
23
00:02:03,060 --> 00:02:06,400
little about them, I feel that those figures are
24
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,940
the heart of poetry, that there is no poem without
25
00:02:09,940 --> 00:02:13,660
a figurative language that enhances and
26
00:02:13,660 --> 00:02:17,360
strengthens the idea of the poet, learning the way
27
00:02:19,420 --> 00:02:23,080
to use it makes a joy to use such language in our
28
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,940
everyday language to express our gladness,
29
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,100
sadness, and even sarcastic everyday life
30
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:33,020
situations. Good, thank you. I do agree sometimes
31
00:02:33,020 --> 00:02:36,480
it gets, you know, a boring process like to write
32
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,580
a report. And here, like, comes the creativity.
33
00:02:41,380 --> 00:02:43,760
When you have, when you don't know what you are
34
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,920
going to write about. So you might look for a
35
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:50,440
hook. you might find very interesting hook and
36
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,740
then you write report. So the report is like to
37
00:02:53,740 --> 00:02:56,840
get you to write. And don't forget, this is like
38
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,700
the bonus mark. It's not one of the official
39
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:04,520
assignment. So you don't have to complain, but
40
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,060
it's okay. You can do that. But I need you to
41
00:03:08,060 --> 00:03:11,420
write. Okay, let's see another report. Yes,
42
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:11,640
please.
43
00:03:19,460 --> 00:03:23,000
Daily Reporter. Description of spring was so nice.
44
00:03:23,140 --> 00:03:25,900
It was the title of the previous month. The
45
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:30,520
previous lecture was extremely surprising. Gentle
46
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,760
and kind, I tried continuously to make up my mind
47
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,920
and decide, either to share or to be in a side.
48
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,140
Although the lecturer was in a gut mood, the
49
00:03:40,140 --> 00:03:43,500
students were worried and wanted to conclude. He
50
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:46,180
asked the questions and students replied, but
51
00:03:46,180 --> 00:03:49,320
because of the hot day, they will nearly fly.
52
00:03:49,740 --> 00:03:52,660
Finally, we finished and the teacher said, you
53
00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:56,520
should be prepared, increase your effort a little
54
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,750
bit. Okay, clap for her. Okay, look here, this is
55
00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:04,370
an example of creativity.
56
00:04:06,270 --> 00:04:10,770
But let me choose, yeah, you, you want like, this
57
00:04:10,770 --> 00:04:13,510
is randomly to make sure everybody's writing.
58
00:04:20,950 --> 00:04:24,010
Sometimes it's weird how time passed so fast. It
59
00:04:24,010 --> 00:04:27,650
was just like yesterday when Dr. Akram asked us to
60
00:04:27,650 --> 00:04:30,170
write a daily report, and I remember how confused
61
00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:35,320
I was. But now all my fears disappeared. Now I
62
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,420
know how to write a daily report and how to write
63
00:04:37,420 --> 00:04:39,860
a response. It is unbelievable that we already
64
00:04:39,860 --> 00:04:42,160
finished two poems and about to start the third.
65
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,540
I'm so excited to take a poem by Sir Philip Sidney
66
00:04:45,540 --> 00:04:48,380
because I've heard that he is a very talented boy.
67
00:04:48,860 --> 00:04:52,280
Good, thank you very much. And we have to clap for
68
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:57,240
her as well. It doesn't mean that we don't like
69
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:03,010
what Rawan said, but it's okay. Right. Today I
70
00:05:03,010 --> 00:05:06,490
thought it would be nice to go through two
71
00:05:06,490 --> 00:05:12,350
important elements, more specifically two more
72
00:05:12,350 --> 00:05:17,450
elements of poetry, the rhyme and the rhythm. And
73
00:05:17,450 --> 00:05:23,010
then later we might go back to part two of the
74
00:05:23,010 --> 00:05:28,440
critical plan. I think, you know, we have taken
75
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,580
two poems. We spoke about rhyme in general. But
76
00:05:32,580 --> 00:05:35,740
today, I'll take you to be more specific to talk
77
00:05:35,740 --> 00:05:39,600
about rhyme. Because we have many types of rhyme.
78
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,020
You might have read that.
79
00:05:49,260 --> 00:05:53,720
As you see here, there are many types of rhyme. We
80
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:59,200
have perfect rhyme.No perfect rhyme. We have
81
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,360
imperfect rhyme.
82
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,120
Sorry.
83
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:19,020
Perfect rhyme. Imperfect rhyme. Masculine rhyme.
84
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:25,800
Feminine rhyme. I rhyme. Para rhyme. Okay, this is
85
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,420
more specific. I think most of you, like those who
86
00:06:31,420 --> 00:06:35,560
read their reports, were writing poetic lines
87
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,080
using perfect rhyme. Perfect rhyme, as you see,
88
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,280
this is an example of perfect rhyme. It is like a
89
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:48,140
rhyme which has almost the same sound, the same
90
00:06:48,140 --> 00:06:53,030
sound. Like this is in Spencer. help me to blaze
91
00:06:53,030 --> 00:06:59,110
her worthy praise. Like he was praising the queen,
92
00:07:00,010 --> 00:07:05,630
and like, you see, blaze and praise, almost the
93
00:07:05,630 --> 00:07:10,690
same sound. Okay? So we call this perfect rhyme.
94
00:07:13,050 --> 00:07:19,250
And another example, I saw Phobias thrust out his
95
00:07:19,250 --> 00:07:24,850
golden head upon her to gaze, but when he saw how
96
00:07:24,850 --> 00:07:29,210
broad her beams did spread, you know, so spread
97
00:07:29,210 --> 00:07:35,550
and hid. So this is perfect rhyme. Now we might
98
00:07:35,550 --> 00:07:40,770
ask when poets use perfect rhyme or when they use
99
00:07:40,770 --> 00:07:45,850
imperfect rhyme. Sometimes in certain poems, you
100
00:07:45,850 --> 00:07:49,130
should stick to perfect rhyme. However, poets
101
00:07:49,130 --> 00:07:52,410
might variate between perfect and imperfect
102
00:07:52,410 --> 00:07:57,250
according to their attitude, the atmosphere of the
103
00:07:57,250 --> 00:08:02,790
poem. Perhaps they want to criticize or they want
104
00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:09,730
to praise. So using the rhyme, each poet uses the
105
00:08:09,730 --> 00:08:12,230
rhyme that fits with the topic, the subject
106
00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:18,810
matter. We cannot now for sure say this rhyme
107
00:08:18,810 --> 00:08:21,710
serves this purpose. It is according to the poem.
108
00:08:22,270 --> 00:08:27,470
Sometimes you have perfect rhyme and suddenly the
109
00:08:27,470 --> 00:08:31,300
poet changes into imperfect rhyme. Like, you don't
110
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:34,580
have this harmony, perhaps because there is no
111
00:08:34,580 --> 00:08:37,020
harmony in the experience of the poet. See what I
112
00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:42,700
mean? I remember in Wilfred Owen, Futility, he was
113
00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:46,860
using imperfect rhyme, he was using I rhyme. And
114
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:51,920
why? Because he saw no pattern in life, so he did
115
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,720
not want to commit himself to any pattern of
116
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:00,290
poetry. So why would a poet use this rhyme? This
117
00:09:00,290 --> 00:09:06,290
depends on the poem itself. Okay, so I think these
118
00:09:06,290 --> 00:09:12,970
are again here in Epithelium. Epithelium is a poem
119
00:09:12,970 --> 00:09:18,890
written by Spencer to describe his, it is a
120
00:09:18,890 --> 00:09:23,830
matrimony poem. Matrimony, wedding. It was to
121
00:09:23,830 --> 00:09:26,530
describe his wedding. It is a beautiful one,
122
00:09:27,170 --> 00:09:29,930
Epithelium, if you have time to read it, you know,
123
00:09:30,030 --> 00:09:36,370
just go and read it. So, now we'll go to another
124
00:09:36,370 --> 00:09:42,150
type of rhyme, which is imperfect rhyme. You know,
125
00:09:42,210 --> 00:09:46,590
imperfect rhyme, you see, it is not, it doesn't
126
00:09:46,590 --> 00:09:49,690
have the same sound. Like you hear, you see, also
127
00:09:49,690 --> 00:09:55,070
in the same poem of Spencer, you have though
128
00:09:55,070 --> 00:10:01,930
hidden peril round about me placed, yet hope I
129
00:10:01,930 --> 00:10:05,910
will that when this storm is passed. So what do
130
00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:09,790
you think? Placed and passed. Placed and passed.
131
00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:12,730
They're not almost, yeah, there is something
132
00:10:12,730 --> 00:10:17,790
similar, but it is not a perfect rhyme. So this is
133
00:10:17,790 --> 00:10:19,510
what imperfect rhyme.
134
00:10:22,210 --> 00:10:25,250
Again, why would they use this? This depends on
135
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:30,730
the poem, the theme of the poem itself. Then comes
136
00:10:30,730 --> 00:10:34,010
number three, masculine rhyme. It's very funny,
137
00:10:34,170 --> 00:10:37,310
huh? Masculine rhyme. There is a rhyme which is
138
00:10:37,310 --> 00:10:43,490
masculine. And masculine rhyme, like as you see
139
00:10:43,490 --> 00:10:49,630
here, this is, you know, from The Solitary Reaper,
140
00:10:49,950 --> 00:10:53,110
I think. The Solitary Reaper, Wordsworth. When he
141
00:10:53,110 --> 00:10:58,770
says, I listened motionless and still, and as I
142
00:10:58,770 --> 00:11:02,850
mounted up the hill, the music in my heart I bore,
143
00:11:03,250 --> 00:11:06,910
long after it was heard no more. Look here, still
144
00:11:06,910 --> 00:11:10,950
and hill, bore and more. If you look at the words,
145
00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:14,690
how many syllables do we have in this word? One
146
00:11:14,690 --> 00:11:22,690
syllable. So, when The rhyming words are
147
00:11:22,690 --> 00:11:28,090
monosyllabic, like this. This is called masculine
148
00:11:28,090 --> 00:11:31,690
rhyme. It's a masculine rhyme. It is one syllable.
149
00:11:32,770 --> 00:11:38,410
It's not more than one syllable. It seems like
150
00:11:38,410 --> 00:11:44,690
this is very tough, but this is an example of
151
00:11:44,690 --> 00:11:47,810
masculine rhyme. Of course, when we talk about
152
00:11:47,810 --> 00:11:50,050
masculine, we should talk about feminine because
153
00:11:50,050 --> 00:11:53,130
if we call this masculine, there should be
154
00:11:53,130 --> 00:11:57,950
feminine. But somebody might say, okay, masculine
155
00:11:57,950 --> 00:12:06,270
means tough and feminine means flexible and more
156
00:12:06,270 --> 00:12:07,050
lenient.
157
00:12:09,570 --> 00:12:14,040
Feminine rhyme is the opposite. Of course, these
158
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,180
are your reader, you can follow them. They are in
159
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:17,700
the pamphlet.
160
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,120
Again, Wordsworth, as if her song, it's in the
161
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:34,480
same. So he was, in that poem, variating between a
162
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,140
masculine rhyme and feminine rhyme. And in fact,
163
00:12:38,620 --> 00:12:41,120
if you read The Slither Reaper, I was teaching The
164
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,730
Slither Reaper in other courses, In that poem,
165
00:12:45,470 --> 00:12:50,750
Wordsworth, I don't know, it seems like he was
166
00:12:50,750 --> 00:12:54,410
challenging the conventions of the time, I mean
167
00:12:54,410 --> 00:12:57,730
the past convention. He was romantic, but in this
168
00:12:57,730 --> 00:13:01,390
poem, he was using neoclassical. He was using
169
00:13:01,390 --> 00:13:05,070
poetic diction. So he was variating with
170
00:13:06,810 --> 00:13:10,910
The diction itself with the images sometimes, some
171
00:13:10,910 --> 00:13:15,270
of the images like I behold her single, behold,
172
00:13:15,530 --> 00:13:21,510
this is very poetic. Then would anybody tell me
173
00:13:21,510 --> 00:13:24,250
what she's singing? So he was moving from formal.
174
00:13:24,730 --> 00:13:28,150
to informal, from poetic diction, and even the
175
00:13:28,150 --> 00:13:31,110
rhyme. He is in the same poem, he's variating in
176
00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:34,330
the rhyme. Why he was doing this, some critics say
177
00:13:34,330 --> 00:13:38,630
because he wanted to challenge, he wanted to
178
00:13:38,630 --> 00:13:44,630
ridicule those. So this depends on the poem. If
179
00:13:44,630 --> 00:13:47,750
you look here, as if her song could have no
180
00:13:47,750 --> 00:13:52,800
ending, I saw her singing at work, at her work,
181
00:13:53,180 --> 00:13:56,260
and over the sickle bending. So if you look at
182
00:13:56,260 --> 00:14:02,080
ending and bending, they are two syllables. They
183
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,120
have almost the same sound and this rhyme called
184
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,640
feminine rhyme.
185
00:14:12,980 --> 00:14:17,780
Then I rhyme. I rhyme.
186
00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:25,560
I rhyme, you know, very deceptive. You know, you
187
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,700
look at them, like here, some never advanced
188
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:34,020
adjustment of their own, but catch the spreading
189
00:14:34,020 --> 00:14:40,440
notion of the town. So if you look at them, they
190
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,400
seem to have rhymed, but if you read them, yeah,
191
00:14:44,780 --> 00:14:49,160
they, you know, do not have the same sound.
192
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:57,880
I think the final one is para rhyme. Para, it's
193
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:03,860
not like, as you see, it's a rhyme in which you
194
00:15:03,860 --> 00:15:10,640
have the same consonants, but the inside vowels
195
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:17,820
are different. So if you look at this, I seem that
196
00:15:17,820 --> 00:15:23,190
out of the bottle I escaped. Down some profound
197
00:15:23,190 --> 00:15:28,590
doltenal I long since scooped, then through grains
198
00:15:28,590 --> 00:15:39,330
which Titanic wars had grown, yet also the
199
00:15:39,330 --> 00:15:42,090
encumbered sleepers grown. So what do you see?
200
00:15:42,210 --> 00:15:47,270
Escaped and scooped. We have the same consonant,
201
00:15:47,650 --> 00:15:51,150
but different vowel. So para, it is not
202
00:15:51,150 --> 00:15:54,810
completely, you know? It is not complete. It is
203
00:15:54,810 --> 00:15:59,270
semi, semi, you know? Semi-rhyme, because it has
204
00:15:59,270 --> 00:16:04,290
similar consonants, but different vowels. And this
205
00:16:04,290 --> 00:16:08,790
is again, you know, called para-rhyme.
206
00:16:12,910 --> 00:16:19,280
Okay. The poems we are studying have rhyme, and
207
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:25,480
each rhyme, for example, in the sonnet of Sir
208
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:30,560
Thomas Wyatt, the rhyme was fitting the sonnet. He
209
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:36,100
was governed by this sonnet. It was A, if you
210
00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:44,980
remember, B, B, A. A, B, B, A, C, D, C, D, and E,
211
00:16:45,020 --> 00:16:49,340
E. So he was governed, but we said like when he
212
00:16:49,340 --> 00:16:55,720
chose word like behind, you know, we had like that
213
00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:00,280
long vowel and it has to do with his suffering and
214
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:05,320
agony. Okay? So in the sonnet, you are governed by
215
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,320
certain rhyme, but you have the freedom to play
216
00:17:08,660 --> 00:17:13,040
Which words to choose? Which words to choose? But
217
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:18,860
rhyme is very important. Sometimes we might have
218
00:17:18,860 --> 00:17:21,820
or we might have a good and a better understanding
219
00:17:21,820 --> 00:17:26,300
of the poem because of a rhyme thing. The rhyme,
220
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,660
sometimes they employ it to express certain
221
00:17:29,660 --> 00:17:33,820
feelings. Again, in Wilfred Owen, when he was
222
00:17:33,820 --> 00:17:42,670
shocked, by the tragedies of the war. He didn't
223
00:17:42,670 --> 00:17:45,670
use the perfect rhyme, he used I rhyme, he used
224
00:17:45,670 --> 00:17:50,610
imperfect rhyme, paradigm. So there was no pattern
225
00:17:50,610 --> 00:17:55,930
in the poem. And he did that deliberately in order
226
00:17:55,930 --> 00:18:01,090
to correlate this
227
00:18:01,090 --> 00:18:07,710
with his horror, his experience of disappointment
228
00:18:07,710 --> 00:18:10,650
because of the horror of the war itself. So
229
00:18:10,650 --> 00:18:13,890
sometimes there is kind of, you know, the rhyme
230
00:18:13,890 --> 00:18:17,430
resonates with the meaning of the poem. Okay? Now,
231
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:22,850
we'll go to the problematic area, which is the
232
00:18:22,850 --> 00:18:27,270
rhythm. And some of you are disturbed because of
233
00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:29,640
the rhythm. and they think this is too much for
234
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:34,660
us. I'm not teaching you scansion or neither
235
00:18:34,660 --> 00:18:37,660
prosody in this course, but it's very important to
236
00:18:37,660 --> 00:18:48,190
know the meters. and to know certain feet and how
237
00:18:48,190 --> 00:18:52,050
they function. Because sometimes again, in certain
238
00:18:52,050 --> 00:18:55,870
poems, mainly in Shakespeare, he plays with rhythm
239
00:18:55,870 --> 00:19:01,770
in order to suit perhaps an attitude or to fit
240
00:19:01,770 --> 00:19:05,870
with a tone or the general atmosphere of the poem.
241
00:19:06,190 --> 00:19:09,570
We are going to see that in one or two of his
242
00:19:09,570 --> 00:19:13,150
sonnets. So let's see what is rhythm.
243
00:19:15,470 --> 00:19:18,090
If you remember at the beginning of the course, we
244
00:19:18,090 --> 00:19:23,410
spoke about rhythm when we defined poetry. And
245
00:19:23,410 --> 00:19:31,170
here, these are the feet in English poetry. As we
246
00:19:31,170 --> 00:19:34,620
said, Most of the English poetry, I mean 80-70
247
00:19:34,620 --> 00:19:37,320
percent of the English poetry is written in iambic
248
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:47,820
pentameter. Iamb is like this, two syllables. As
249
00:19:47,820 --> 00:19:51,520
you see, repeat, the word repeat. What is the
250
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:56,580
stress? Is it on the first or the second? Yes,
251
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:02,120
it's the longer one. Repeat, repeat, repeat. So it
252
00:20:02,120 --> 00:20:10,360
is very long. We saw this also in Henry Howard's
253
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:15,380
poem last time. And thus I see among these
254
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:19,140
pleasant things. It was iambic pentameter. But
255
00:20:19,140 --> 00:20:24,680
forget about pentameter. Like this is iamb. Ayam,
256
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,060
it's called Ayam. If you have, you know, this
257
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:32,480
pattern in the poem, you know, like repeat, you
258
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:38,100
know, meet, see, et cetera, you have, this is
259
00:20:38,100 --> 00:20:43,840
Ayam. Now, the opposite of it, it's called Troche
260
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,240
or Troche. You know, one of them either. And it is
261
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:54,440
like never. Huh? Never. Like, look here, never.
262
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,620
Where is the stress? It's on the first one.
263
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,900
Clever. Never. Huh? Better. Okay, these are, you
264
00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:07,620
know, this is a trochee. It's the opposite of?
265
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,820
Yes. The anabast. Okay, the anabast.
266
00:21:17,740 --> 00:21:25,210
The anabast. is similar to the iambic, but you
267
00:21:25,210 --> 00:21:26,810
have... Sorry.
268
00:21:33,510 --> 00:21:43,570
Okay. I have to go back. The anabast
269
00:21:47,490 --> 00:21:55,310
is like too unstressed, and then stressed, like
270
00:21:55,310 --> 00:22:01,150
interrupt, corrupt. You see? I think you are
271
00:22:01,150 --> 00:22:06,230
studying stress with Dr. Walid, okay? So, and Dr.
272
00:22:06,290 --> 00:22:09,150
Khader like teaching you like this, so you can
273
00:22:09,150 --> 00:22:13,710
make use of them in understanding the rhyme. Okay,
274
00:22:13,850 --> 00:22:19,570
then you have something called dactyl. Dactyl as
275
00:22:19,570 --> 00:22:26,050
it's like crochet, but instead of stressed, you
276
00:22:26,050 --> 00:22:30,030
have stressed and too unstressed, like Washington,
277
00:22:31,490 --> 00:22:37,910
wasting. It's like, as you see, one stressed, two
278
00:22:37,910 --> 00:22:44,130
stressed. Then you have spondee. This is accented.
279
00:22:45,460 --> 00:22:50,580
You don't have, it is like two words or two
280
00:22:50,580 --> 00:22:54,560
stressed syllables together, heart rate, heart
281
00:22:54,560 --> 00:23:02,780
rate, you know? Then you have pyrrhic, you know,
282
00:23:02,820 --> 00:23:08,080
like it is too unstressed,
283
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,100
like as in the top of the mountain, the morning,
284
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,850
you know, in the top of, morning, like too
285
00:23:16,850 --> 00:23:23,430
unstressed, too unstressed. Now we say monometer,
286
00:23:23,670 --> 00:23:29,690
diameter, why? Because sometimes if we look at the
287
00:23:29,690 --> 00:23:33,950
line of pottery, we might find iambic repeated
288
00:23:33,950 --> 00:23:38,210
like this, never ever. So what should I say? This
289
00:23:38,210 --> 00:23:42,230
is iambic what? Iambic monometer or diameter?
290
00:23:44,250 --> 00:23:48,850
Diameter, because it has two. It has two. So we
291
00:23:48,850 --> 00:23:56,390
say diameter, trimeter, monometer,
292
00:23:56,710 --> 00:23:57,510
diameter,
293
00:23:59,850 --> 00:24:04,490
yes, pentameter. It is according to the
294
00:24:04,490 --> 00:24:04,850
repetition.
295
00:24:07,710 --> 00:24:12,110
So here you have one foot is called what?
296
00:24:12,970 --> 00:24:13,450
Monometer.
297
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:25,820
Two foot, diameter. Three, sorry, two feet. Three
298
00:24:25,820 --> 00:24:35,660
feet, trimeter. Four feet, tetrameter. Five,
299
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:41,500
pentameter. That's why we said pentameter. Most of
300
00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:44,740
English poetry is written in pentameter, which is
301
00:24:44,740 --> 00:24:49,590
very musical. Then hexameter, six feet. Then
302
00:24:49,590 --> 00:24:53,690
heptameter, seven feet. And I think here you have
303
00:24:53,690 --> 00:25:00,330
some example. Like this is an example, you know,
304
00:25:00,990 --> 00:25:03,550
of iambic pentameter.
305
00:25:04,930 --> 00:25:09,810
Can anybody read this? Like here, from furthest
306
00:25:09,810 --> 00:25:15,680
creature, we desire increase. that their beauties
307
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:22,080
rose, but never die. Who can read it? From there,
308
00:25:22,620 --> 00:25:27,440
from fair creatures, we desire increase, that
309
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:33,600
their beauties rose, but never die. See? Titam,
310
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:39,400
titam. So try to read it according to them, from
311
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,940
fair, From fairest creatures, we desire increase,
312
00:25:45,540 --> 00:25:51,320
that their beauties rose, but never die. So it is
313
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:57,160
measured, very musical. As I told you, if we talk
314
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,640
in iambic pentameter, we'll be funny. For example,
315
00:26:01,260 --> 00:26:05,780
please, when you come to my class, write your
316
00:26:05,780 --> 00:26:08,980
report. It's like this, you know, ti tam, ti tam,
317
00:26:09,060 --> 00:26:14,430
ti tam. So another example, this is, you know, a
318
00:26:14,430 --> 00:26:15,010
tetrameter.
319
00:26:18,630 --> 00:26:20,270
Tetrameter, sorry.
320
00:26:30,150 --> 00:26:36,170
This is iambic trimeter, three. It is the evening
321
00:26:36,170 --> 00:26:44,920
hour. How silent all that lie. It is the evening
322
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:53,760
hour. How silent all that lie. See? This is iambic
323
00:26:53,760 --> 00:27:01,580
trimeter. Then we have tetrameter. This is like
324
00:27:01,580 --> 00:27:04,180
Troche. He's...
325
00:27:08,450 --> 00:27:10,050
I think it is in the other side.
326
00:27:23,330 --> 00:27:27,550
The iambic tetrameter, it's like, it's a poem we
327
00:27:27,550 --> 00:27:29,870
are going to study. Okay, just like.
328
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,340
Is it clear? Okay.
329
00:27:56,700 --> 00:28:01,180
This is, you know, tricky, but I'm just like, I
330
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:04,660
want to give you an example of iambic tetrameter.
331
00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:08,500
It's like in Marlowe's, they never reply, come
332
00:28:08,500 --> 00:28:13,540
live with me and be my love. It is, you know, Come
333
00:28:13,540 --> 00:28:17,940
live with me and be my love. It is eight
334
00:28:17,940 --> 00:28:22,240
syllables, and it is called iambic pentameter.
335
00:28:22,740 --> 00:28:27,100
This is troche tetrameter. Come, you know, troche,
336
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,920
we said it's the opposite. Come my, what is the
337
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:36,260
stress? The first one. Come my, Celia, let us
338
00:28:36,260 --> 00:28:40,530
prove why we made this sports of love. You know,
339
00:28:40,770 --> 00:28:43,670
it's like troche, and how many syllables do you
340
00:28:43,670 --> 00:28:48,290
have? You have like, you know, six here, as you
341
00:28:48,290 --> 00:28:52,110
see. Tetra, because we have six syllables.
342
00:28:54,630 --> 00:29:00,490
Tetrameter, like eight, in fact. Cum, cummi, this
343
00:29:00,490 --> 00:29:06,220
is two, cilia two, two, so we have eight. Eight
344
00:29:06,220 --> 00:29:10,900
syllables because the foot, each foot is like two
345
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:15,060
syllables. So this is called troche, dactyl,
346
00:29:16,660 --> 00:29:22,280
tetrameter. Like this one, you know, women much
347
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:27,000
missed how you call to me, call to me, saying that
348
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:34,000
you are not as you were, okay? So this is, and all
349
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,880
these are examples of the meters, just like look
350
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,540
at them, you know, and see the stress, where the
351
00:29:39,540 --> 00:29:43,780
stress, so it is very important that to know In
352
00:29:43,780 --> 00:29:49,060
this course, we might look at the rhythm in some
353
00:29:49,060 --> 00:29:52,920
poems because sometimes the rhythm might have
354
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:58,360
something to do with poetry. Good. This is
355
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:05,780
generally about rhythm and rhyme and rhythm. We'll
356
00:30:05,780 --> 00:30:09,880
go back to the critical plan. Yes.
357
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,260
No, I mean it is up to the purpose, like how he
358
00:30:20,260 --> 00:30:24,780
sees. Sometimes certain words, you know, do not
359
00:30:24,780 --> 00:30:30,020
fit with the rhyme. But poets want to be regular.
360
00:30:31,180 --> 00:30:34,640
Like I know some, you know, some students of mine,
361
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,900
write poetry by using rhythm. They go study rhythm
362
00:30:39,900 --> 00:30:43,200
and they write poetry. Even they are not native
363
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,220
speakers, but they still, a student of mine, even
364
00:30:47,220 --> 00:30:51,420
he's like Tawjihi, said, I wrote a poem in Anabas,
365
00:30:51,620 --> 00:30:56,190
which was very surprising to me. So yes, they
366
00:30:56,190 --> 00:31:00,290
choose sometimes like they vary it. Sometimes they
367
00:31:00,290 --> 00:31:05,230
are systematic. It is according to the purpose
368
00:31:05,230 --> 00:31:07,150
they want to establish. Yes, sir. Yes.
369
00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:19,230
Forty love middle-aged couple. Yes. Yes.
370
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,840
It doesn't fit with the rhythm of that.
371
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:32,920
Yeah, but no, 40 love, 40 love, you have two
372
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,680
syllables. We have two syllables in each one. 40
373
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,660
love, it's like iambic. All of it, it is iambic
374
00:31:41,660 --> 00:31:45,440
diameter. 40 love, middle-aged couple playing
375
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,620
tennis, it's iambic pentameter.
376
00:31:50,550 --> 00:31:53,730
Yeah, that was, you know, I mean at the beginning
377
00:31:53,730 --> 00:31:56,750
of the course I gave you two poems which are
378
00:31:56,750 --> 00:32:00,990
modern. Sometimes some poets do not follow rhyme
379
00:32:00,990 --> 00:32:04,990
at all, and this is called free verse. They do not
380
00:32:04,990 --> 00:32:07,630
follow rhyme, and sometimes they vary it with
381
00:32:07,630 --> 00:32:12,100
rhythm. See? But those poems I gave you at the
382
00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:18,420
beginning of the course were just
383
00:32:18,420 --> 00:32:24,100
very modern or very postmodern, in which the poets
384
00:32:24,100 --> 00:32:31,360
did not commit themselves to the tradition of
385
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:32,300
English poetry.
386
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,460
If you remember last time, I gave you, quickly at
387
00:32:38,460 --> 00:32:45,520
the end of the lecture, the leveler. And part two
388
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:50,240
of the critical plan was discussing some areas we,
389
00:32:50,820 --> 00:32:57,190
as readers, might face when we read a poem. And as
390
00:32:57,190 --> 00:33:02,270
you see, the first area was
391
00:33:02,270 --> 00:33:05,430
like, we don't have to be very hasty. Some people
392
00:33:05,430 --> 00:33:09,750
are hasty. This is part two. It's meaning,
393
00:33:10,790 --> 00:33:18,950
intention, and idea. And here, as you see, we are
394
00:33:18,950 --> 00:33:21,950
strongly advised
395
00:33:31,380 --> 00:33:34,280
These are areas gaining balanced development of
396
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,000
the theme, maintaining the total experience of the
397
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,280
poem, and judging the poem on the basis of the
398
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:43,100
poet's intention.
399
00:33:46,300 --> 00:33:49,740
We said, you know, gaining a balanced development
400
00:33:49,740 --> 00:33:52,960
of the theme. We do not have to base our judgment
401
00:33:52,960 --> 00:34:01,470
on one part of the poem, we have to follow or to
402
00:34:01,470 --> 00:34:06,890
read the entire poem and to test this theme. Is it
403
00:34:06,890 --> 00:34:10,370
like, does it fit with the whole poem or not? So
404
00:34:10,370 --> 00:34:15,590
we don't have to be very hasty. And we gave you
405
00:34:15,590 --> 00:34:19,490
the example of Deliverer, which was similar to the
406
00:34:19,490 --> 00:34:22,350
example of the poem, Who's Lost to Hunt, if you
407
00:34:22,350 --> 00:34:27,410
remember. So this is an area we should be careful.
408
00:34:29,070 --> 00:34:34,150
Of course, we cannot say what is the poem about
409
00:34:34,150 --> 00:34:38,890
unless we read it several times. The second
410
00:34:38,890 --> 00:34:42,370
problem area like here, as you say, we have to
411
00:34:42,370 --> 00:34:46,910
maintain the total experience. Here, the second
412
00:34:46,910 --> 00:34:52,650
area is called the total meaning and the prose
413
00:34:52,650 --> 00:34:54,590
meaning. There is something called the prose
414
00:34:54,590 --> 00:34:58,710
meaning and the total meaning. What is the
415
00:34:58,710 --> 00:35:01,250
difference between the prose meaning and the total
416
00:35:01,250 --> 00:35:05,950
meaning? The prose meaning of the poem means the
417
00:35:05,950 --> 00:35:12,830
dictionary meaning. It is the paraphrase. So if
418
00:35:12,830 --> 00:35:15,470
you say spring,
419
00:35:18,460 --> 00:35:22,380
has bloom and everything is beautiful, you are
420
00:35:22,380 --> 00:35:25,800
paraphrasing. But when you link this description
421
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,620
with experience, you are talking about the total
422
00:35:29,620 --> 00:35:32,480
experience. So the total experience is different
423
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,860
from the prose meaning.
424
00:35:39,580 --> 00:35:44,560
This is the leveler we read last time. I wish you
425
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,930
look at it again. It's a very interesting poem,
426
00:35:48,930 --> 00:35:53,450
and we saw how sarcastic the poet was.
427
00:35:56,590 --> 00:36:01,950
Mainly here in the last two stanzas, when he said,
428
00:36:03,250 --> 00:36:08,710
Old Sergeant Smith, kindness of man, wrote out two
429
00:36:08,710 --> 00:36:12,550
copies there and then of his accustomed speech to
430
00:36:12,550 --> 00:36:17,380
cheer the women folk of each. He died a hero's
431
00:36:17,380 --> 00:36:25,020
death, and here we saw how sarcastic the poet was,
432
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:30,720
how cynical he was. He didn't believe in the idea
433
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:35,920
of heroism. The second area, this is like, do not
434
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:43,800
give hasty adjustment. This is the second problem.
435
00:36:44,580 --> 00:36:46,720
to understand the poet's thoughts and emotions.
436
00:36:48,100 --> 00:36:52,120
Now, yes, we have to understand the poet's
437
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,600
thoughts and emotions. And in order to understand
438
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,280
this, we have to be open. Now, sometimes we might
439
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,820
not like or we might find a poem difficult. Some
440
00:37:02,820 --> 00:37:05,120
words are difficult and we say, damn, I'm not
441
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,760
going to read this poem. This is not good. Okay?
442
00:37:10,020 --> 00:37:15,530
You have to be sympathetic. At least while you are
443
00:37:15,530 --> 00:37:18,610
reading the poem, you have to be, because you
444
00:37:18,610 --> 00:37:22,170
won't have access to the experience, to the total
445
00:37:22,170 --> 00:37:26,230
experience of the poet unless you are sympathetic.
446
00:37:26,930 --> 00:37:29,230
You have to understand. You have to live the
447
00:37:29,230 --> 00:37:33,390
experience of the poet in order to appreciate the
448
00:37:33,390 --> 00:37:38,610
poem. And as you see, sometimes we don't have to
449
00:37:38,610 --> 00:37:41,810
judge the poem according to our initial feeling.
450
00:37:43,410 --> 00:37:46,430
And we hear, be sure you go to the author to get
451
00:37:46,430 --> 00:37:51,630
his meaning, not to find yours. Sometimes we are
452
00:37:51,630 --> 00:37:56,790
blinded by a certain idea in our mind, and we keep
453
00:37:56,790 --> 00:38:01,010
developing this and forget what the poem is about.
454
00:38:01,510 --> 00:38:04,950
So I think this is something we have to be
455
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:05,830
cautious of.
456
00:38:09,450 --> 00:38:12,190
As you see here, the meaning of the poem is the
457
00:38:12,190 --> 00:38:15,530
experience it expresses. It is the experience. So
458
00:38:15,530 --> 00:38:18,150
this is the meaning. What kind of experience? This
459
00:38:18,150 --> 00:38:21,530
is the experience of happiness, sadness,
460
00:38:21,930 --> 00:38:25,230
frustration. So this is the meaning of the poem.
461
00:38:25,510 --> 00:38:28,250
It is not the prose meaning of the poem. It is not
462
00:38:28,250 --> 00:38:33,350
the paraphrase of the poem. Okay, you just go read
463
00:38:33,350 --> 00:38:39,590
this part because sometimes we like We might be
464
00:38:39,590 --> 00:38:43,470
worried that the poem has no ideas. It discusses
465
00:38:43,470 --> 00:38:48,810
no ideas. And we say, why? Sometimes we have a
466
00:38:48,810 --> 00:38:52,850
poem which is meaningful because it is only a
467
00:38:52,850 --> 00:38:56,150
description. And this description records the
468
00:38:56,150 --> 00:38:59,450
experience. And if you see here, you have a poem,
469
00:38:59,570 --> 00:39:05,180
The Eagle. The eagle is an example. Here, it's a
470
00:39:05,180 --> 00:39:09,560
description of an eagle which goes up high and
471
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:16,420
then comes down as a thunderbolt. Like, look here.
472
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,200
This is the eagle. It's a description. He clasped
473
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:26,260
the crag with crocked hands, close to the sun in
474
00:39:26,260 --> 00:39:29,500
lonely lands. Ringed with the azure word, he
475
00:39:29,500 --> 00:39:33,730
stands. The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls. He
476
00:39:33,730 --> 00:39:36,510
watches from his mountain walls. And like
477
00:39:36,510 --> 00:39:42,510
thunderbolt, he falls. It's a description of
478
00:39:42,510 --> 00:39:44,890
eagle.
479
00:39:46,090 --> 00:39:51,510
This poem was written by Tennyson. Tennyson was a
480
00:39:51,510 --> 00:39:58,630
Victorian poet. And in the Victorian time, the
481
00:39:58,630 --> 00:40:02,370
world was changing. people started to lose
482
00:40:02,370 --> 00:40:06,410
certainty about, you know, no social patterns like
483
00:40:06,410 --> 00:40:10,530
laissez-faire or, you know, like there was
484
00:40:10,530 --> 00:40:14,150
corruption, utilitarianism, you know, people, I
485
00:40:14,150 --> 00:40:17,390
mean, materialism was governing everything. So the
486
00:40:17,390 --> 00:40:20,290
sense of society, the social patterns, you know,
487
00:40:20,290 --> 00:40:25,310
vanished. And in fact, even like religion, I mean,
488
00:40:25,390 --> 00:40:30,690
religious values retreated and retreated and Here
489
00:40:30,690 --> 00:40:32,710
the poet, what is the experience of the poet
490
00:40:32,710 --> 00:40:37,330
exactly? He was looking, he looked at the eagle.
491
00:40:37,530 --> 00:40:40,990
The eagle had the power to go up to leave this
492
00:40:40,990 --> 00:40:45,770
land, to go and come down, while the poet himself
493
00:40:45,770 --> 00:40:52,410
was mentally, psychologically entrapped. So he was
494
00:40:52,410 --> 00:40:58,590
looking at this bird with some feeling of envy. He
495
00:40:58,590 --> 00:41:03,240
was trapped. But look at this. He clasped the crag
496
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:06,300
with crooked hands. Look how he admires it. Close
497
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:09,360
to the sun in lonely lands. Ringed with azure. He
498
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:14,040
envies the freedom of this creature. The wrinkled
499
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,320
sea beneath. Look at him, how powerful. Him
500
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,220
crawls. He watches from his mountain walls. And
501
00:41:20,220 --> 00:41:24,180
like a thunderbolt, he falls. So here, okay, the
502
00:41:24,180 --> 00:41:27,920
description is wonderful. We might look at this
503
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,160
for more aesthetic consideration, but as you see
504
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:36,820
here, the experience of the poet was like he, he
505
00:41:36,820 --> 00:41:43,940
was not Like, he didn't have the ability to leave
506
00:41:43,940 --> 00:41:47,840
because psychologically, mentally, he was trapped.
507
00:41:48,380 --> 00:41:53,020
His age was like an age of corruption, or an age
508
00:41:53,020 --> 00:41:55,520
of materialism. So people felt they were trapped.
509
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,660
They could not go nowhere. And here, he's just
510
00:41:58,660 --> 00:42:01,920
looking at this eagle who's having that ability to
511
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:08,040
escape. To escape, not like the poet. I think, you
512
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,500
know, today, this is enough for today. I'm giving
513
00:42:12,500 --> 00:42:17,220
chance to other classes to catch up. Next time, as
514
00:42:17,220 --> 00:42:22,960
I said, you have to bring, like, you know, your
515
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:28,440
response to Sidney and Spencer. You know, Spencer
516
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,540
to his, you know, there is a sonnet for Spencer.
517
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:38,200
So, but we are going to discuss first Sydney and
518
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:42,740
then Spencer, okay? Thank you very much.
