Ancient History Of Picture Poetry
Codifying chronicles.
The advent of writing enabled scribes and bards from China, Mesopotamia, Persia, India, and Ancient Egypt to write down odes,
Vedas, legends, and myths that had existed in their cultures for thousands of years. Poetry itself probably dates back to cavemen
and the earliest shamans, who chronicled events in picture-stories, symbols, songs, and tales to chronicle hunts and features of the
land on which these people survived. Poetry also took nomads into altered or supernatural realms.As language developed, oral
storytellers traveled from place to place in order to recite new legends and tales. Most likely, stanzaic verse began as a series of
conscious pauses by oral storytellers during their recitations. Why the pauses? The narrator had to catch his breath and summon the
next part of the tale!
Fertile ground for poetic leaps.
Since then, people have depicted their inner and outer worlds – and the worlds of their peers, legends and civilizations – through
hundreds or thousands of poetic forms. Like other types of art and music, the evolution of poetry escalated during fertile creative
times and in particularly open societies. So, for example, the poetic lyric leapt forward on the wings of two women – Enheduanna and
Sappho - during the height of two great cultures, Sumeria and Ancient Greece, and dramatic verse began with the Ancient Greek
playwrights, along with Homer’s epics and Aesop’s fables. Similarly, Marco Polo’s acquisition of scrolls of Chinese poetry and the
influence of Provence’s formes fixes style of courtly poetics informed Dante Alighieri, Giovanni Bocacchio, and other late medieval
writers, who ignited Italy’s greatest poetry boom and planted the seeds for the Renaissance. While the sonnet emerged during the
Renaissance, free verse roared out of the early 19th century Victorian era. During that time, intellectuals and students felt more
liberated, poetry salons sprung up in Paris and London, and poets yearned to break out of the box of rhymed, measured lines and
stanzas.
Literary pictures of civilizations.
Poets may have created, modified, or used poetic forms, but centuries later these same forms provide a snapshot of the civilizations
from which they emerged. The gorgeous lyrical love poems of Ancient Greece and Rome reflected cultures open to physical and
emotional expression. More than three dozen known forms took root in the Greek culture, including the ode, fable, lyric, and
Anacreontic verse. So esteemed was poetry that three of the classic nine Muses inspire specific forms of poetry: Calliope (epic
poetry), Erato (love poetry), and Polyrhythmia (sacred poetry). In a culture that routinely mixed poetry, music, and the stage, two
others are close cousins: Euterpe (music) and Melpomene (tragedy). When Rome switched from a Republic to an Empire, its poetic
forms became more constrained and its subjects bloodier and bawdier. Altar poetry (the ancestor of concrete and visual poetry)
emerged from the abbeys of medieval Germany, while the terza rima was Dante’s way of giving us layered morsels of the hell he
visited in The Inferno. The canso stanza form, along with rondeau and triolet, emerged from Provence so that medieval troubadours
could give information to townspeople without tipping off Crusaders of the Holy Roman Empire. The Germans romped through the
Renaissance period with Meistergesang, poem-songs that played directly into the citizenry’s penchant for revelry and national unity.
Shakespeare’s sonnets and plays reflected an Elizabethan era when creativity, expression, and experimentation ignited
England intellectually.

Research Paper on Pictorial Poetry
K C Sethi
Being a photography hobbyist and a frequent traveler, I have come across so many people, subjects, objects and faces of nature when I capture them in my camera.
Sometimes, I feel talking to my pictures ; they seem responding me too and leave impressions on my heart .I can hear the whispers of my photographs and its subjects ,
objects which tell me the stories of their life .They arrest my attention and make me feel their presence in my words, lines and poems.
“Sometimes I feel pictures though being silent, speak much more than the words, lines and poems do"
I can find them swinging, enjoying, sometimes sobbing, weeping and crying in my poems silently because the characters involved in the pictures represent their moods
and expressions which compel me to behave similarly in my words and poems. A close description of a picture reveals its own story which I convert into my compositions.
“Silent poems, speaking pictures” perhaps will not be wrong definition of this novice concept. But I have named it,” Pictorial Poetry” wherein it is found that the body
language of a picture I based on the theme of a poem, are published in a combination. They seem as if soul (poem) and body (picture) of a composition describing their
tales.
As a painting, so a poem : This benevolent concept of “Pictorial Poetry “leaves a great impact on my heart and mind when one eye on visual and the other on verse make
me feel the soul of my creation in my soul. I have gone through poetical history of Leonard Barkan, a great poet, famous for his great compilation 'Mute Poetry, Speaking
Pictures,' in 18th century. His works are the relationship between the verbal and the visual. Barkan's title derives from an ancient saying “Painting is mute poetry, or poetry
a speaking picture.” Later it was framed with a beautiful Latin tag “” which means: “As a painting, so a poem,” implying, “a poem is or will be or should be like a painting.” :
Along with my wife, Mrs. Sunita Sethi started compiling first coffee table book with pictorial poetry in 2013. It took two years to complete and was published on 23rd
December 2015 which gave birth to new style of writing photographic poetry in the frame of coffee table book and made a world record of being the first coffee table book
on this beautiful concept in the world as accepted and declared by Golden Book of World Records, Asia Book of Records and India book of Records. In recent years, art
history and art theory have been obsessively investigating the intricate relationship between image and ideology, the ways we see and interpret pictures, narration and
theatricality in painting, literary pictorialism in poetry and the iconology and semiotics of art. This detail study of pictures and painting leads to new world of writing poetry
and articles with picture or based on the characters in the pictures /photographs.
Poetry on blackboard: I recollect my college times when our English teacher Late Mr. Satish Chander Khosla had been teaching us poetry by describing poems on the
blackboard by drawing images of the situation and illustrating the beauty of nature and other things involved in poetry.“Daffodils' a poem of William Wordsworth and 'Ode
on Grecian Urn' by Johan Keats took a week to explain and complete. Even after 40 years, I feel the fragrance of his beautiful drawings and poetry.
At present this new way of expressing one's feelings and thoughts has already achieved its heights in social media like Face book, Instagram, What's App and so many

Sometimes, I feel talking to my pictures ; they seem responding me too and leave impressions on my heart .I can hear the whispers of my photographs and its subjects ,
objects which tell me the stories of their life .They arrest my attention and make me feel their presence in my words, lines and poems.
“Sometimes I feel pictures though being silent, speak much more than the words, lines and poems do"
I can find them swinging, enjoying, sometimes sobbing, weeping and crying in my poems silently because the characters involved in the pictures represent their moods
and expressions which compel me to behave similarly in my words and poems. A close description of a picture reveals its own story which I convert into my compositions.
“Silent poems, speaking pictures” perhaps will not be wrong definition of this novice concept. But I have named it,” Pictorial Poetry” wherein it is found that the body
language of a picture I based on the theme of a poem, are published in a combination. They seem as if soul (poem) and body (picture) of a composition describing their
tales.
As a painting, so a poem : This benevolent concept of “Pictorial Poetry “leaves a great impact on my heart and mind when one eye on visual and the other on verse make
me feel the soul of my creation in my soul. I have gone through poetical history of Leonard Barkan, a great poet, famous for his great compilation 'Mute Poetry, Speaking
Pictures,' in 18th century. His works are the relationship between the verbal and the visual. Barkan's title derives from an ancient saying “Painting is mute poetry, or poetry
a speaking picture.” Later it was framed with a beautiful Latin tag “” which means: “As a painting, so a poem,” implying, “a poem is or will be or should be like a painting.” :
Along with my wife, Mrs. Sunita Sethi started compiling first coffee table book with pictorial poetry in 2013. It took two years to complete and was published on 23rd
December 2015 which gave birth to new style of writing photographic poetry in the frame of coffee table book and made a world record of being the first coffee table book
on this beautiful concept in the world as accepted and declared by Golden Book of World Records, Asia Book of Records and India book of Records. In recent years, art
history and art theory have been obsessively investigating the intricate relationship between image and ideology, the ways we see and interpret pictures, narration and
theatricality in painting, literary pictorialism in poetry and the iconology and semiotics of art. This detail study of pictures and painting leads to new world of writing poetry
and articles with picture or based on the characters in the pictures /photographs.
Poetry on blackboard: I recollect my college times when our English teacher Late Mr. Satish Chander Khosla had been teaching us poetry by describing poems on the
blackboard by drawing images of the situation and illustrating the beauty of nature and other things involved in poetry.“Daffodils' a poem of William Wordsworth and 'Ode
on Grecian Urn' by Johan Keats took a week to explain and complete. Even after 40 years, I feel the fragrance of his beautiful drawings and poetry.
At present this new way of expressing one's feelings and thoughts has already achieved its heights in social media like Face book, Instagram, What's App and so many

In most poetry, it is the connotations and the baggage that words carry (the weight of words) that are most important. The meaning and significance of any poetry seem

Poetry in English and other modern European languages often use rhymes. Rhymes at the end of lines are the basis of a number of common poetic forms such as ballads,
sonnets and rhyming couplets. However, the use of rhyme is not universal. Now-a-days, modern poetry avoids traditional rhyme scheme.
According to Henry Rankin Poore, a painting's technique, colour and perspective may be excellent, yet the painting will fail unless its composition succeeds. Henry Poore
examines the works of old masters and modern painters in his book, “Pictorial Composition: An Introduction” and uses these examples to explain the principles of
compositions in art.
The pictorial element has been used by the great poets like Keats, Spenser, William Wordsworth, Jonathan Swift, W.H. Auden and so on in earlier times. Keats is one of
the greatest world painters in English poetry. The pictorial quality in his poetical work stands above all its other qualities. Each picture is remarkable for its vividness and
minuteness in detail.

compositions in art.
The pictorial element has been used by the great poets like Keats, Spenser, William Wordsworth, Jonathan Swift, W.H. Auden and so on in earlier times. Keats is one of
the greatest world painters in English poetry. The pictorial quality in his poetical work stands above all its other qualities. Each picture is remarkable for its vividness and
minuteness in detail.

Pictorial poetry finds a close affinity with the modern technique imagism, pioneered by T.E. Hulme and Ezra Pound. Defining imagism, Hulme insisted upon accurate,
precise and concrete description, each word being a definite image like an exact photograph. Thus, the concrete and vivid word meant that an imagist poem will be brief
and static like a Japanese lyric. However, imagism was short-lived and gradually merged into the wider and more complex current of symbolism, the most pervasive
movement in modern literature. Baudelaire, the father of the movement, explains the origin of the symbolic attitude in the following words:

your feeling; PICTORIAL POETRY
Probably appeared from the day when the first photo of the history of mankind entered the history. Only God knows since how many people have kept a photo of a loved
your thoughts, one under their heart so that the heart itself creates a secret poetry about love that is known only to him, the owner of photography, but for us a remaining mystery. I do not
remember when my first made me think, cry and remember the first photo. But I know for sure that this happened often. Especially, when I served in the army service. Then
I was 18-20 years old. Almost every soldier had a photo of his beloved. Including me of course, I forgot a lot. But I remember exactly the girl who sent me my photo in the
but in your words envelope along with the letter. When I had free time from the service, especially at bedtime, I often looked at her photo and talked with her for a long time, as if she were
next to me. And when I closed my eyes kissing a photo of my beloved, I had such a feeling, like whether I'm kissing her really. And inside me, right in the heart, there was a
live voice which read to me a white verse. These poems were composed in such a harmonious way, whether it was written by a very famous and talented poet like Rumi,
Sherazi, Ferdausi, Omar Hayam. And Poesia gave me such sweet pleasure that I never got.
Although the Muslims does not quite welcome such that after died a loved one to leave a photograph for memory and often look at it, we still often violate this sharia. When
I was 37 I lost my own mother. She was only 58. She was sick with stomach cancer and we could not help her to ease her pain. She died gradually before our eyes. And
after her death, only her photos remained on the memory. Gradually the old things disappeared that she wore and enjoyed. There were days when I often talked with her
photo and told my not good luck and good luck. The my fine and the my woe. I remember exactly the day after her funeral the first time it was snowing. I take a photo of my
mother and cried hugging to warm her. I tried warm to the mother did not freeze under the ground, under the snow. I was so hurt. I cried a very long time when I realized that
I really can't help her at all. And at that moment, just the same pleasant voice appeared right inside me right in the heart, and began to poetry read to me. It is to be great
poetry is already composed by not man as God himself!
