UNRESOLVED INQUIRIES ABOUT DEATH: EXPLICATED IN THE SELECT POETRY OF RICHARD EBERHART
Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
When Eberhart is obsessed with death and decay, he directs his attention on “the cruelty of reality”; when he is bewildered by his mystery of nothingness after experiencing lose, he lands on unresolved inquiries and when he realises that victory over the „invincible‟ enemy is impossible, he puts on a noble acceptance or utters a bold defiance. These views are objectively expressed in some of his poems. The destruction can be considered on three levels – the havoc on the body, on the bones and finally upon the mind, the realistic progressive deterioration under which the despoil has been masterly conducted by “Captain worms.” The moment of great intensity is cryptically drawn by the picturesque metaphors. The grief on the part of the speaker is made acute by the contrast between perfect beauty and a noxious condition to which it has been reduced. The grave is an end by itself and there is nothing beyond that.
