Thomas Hume is a famous American poet, critic and playwright. 1922 published his masterpiece The Waste Land, which became an important representative of imagist poetry. As for the theoretical problems of imagist poetry, Hume put forward many views on images, and thought that "images are a complex of rationality and sensibility expressed in an instant".
Images, symbols and metaphors are often used in various forms of literary works. Compared with metaphor and symbol, image is a little special. In the era of a large number of popular green lives, deep reading and deep perception are paid more and more attention.
Images are more practical and democratic. Especially in modernist art and imagist poetry, image is considered as one of the most important means of expression.
The "image" mentioned by Hume in his poetry theory is not only vivid, but also contains elements of emotion and thinking. Hume emphasized that image is the product of the dialogue between self-consciousness and environment, and the product of the poet's personal perception and experience. Therefore, in Hume's poems, image is not only a picture depicting the appearance of things, but also highlights the expression of thoughts and emotions.
Imagist poetry was inspired by some poets in the19th century, such as Francis azur, George Morley and Arthur Riley, who all paid attention to the exploration of language, experience and intuition in poetry. With the growing influence of modernism, imagist poetry gradually began to take shape and quickly swept the whole literary field.
In Hume's poems, he often uses a series of microscopic personal images to establish the image foundation. These images often remain in his mind, inspired by him, and then turned into the source of creativity. As the poem "The Waste Land" shows, Hume created a broken world by using various metaphors, and at the same time created rich images across regions and history through self-interpretation.
In his theory, Hume emphasized the close relationship between image, feeling and thinking, and thought that image was a way to express "emotional experience", and poetry was also established by these experiences. He advocates that poetry should express emotions and imaginary images in a direct way, and outline the author's own thoughts through image expression.
In a word, in Hume's creation, image is regarded as a breakthrough expression, because it contains many dimensions such as emotion, feeling, form and content.
Hume pointed out: "Image is a meaningful, complete and self-consistent symbol system, which contains the overall ideas and concepts of literary works." There are a lot of meditation and statements in his poems, which make us further realize the value of images.
