"Exploring the Poetics: A Journey through Time and Culture" Tagore, Shahnameh, Rodin's Thinker - these are just a few hints that lead us into the vast realm of poetics. From ancient writers like Ennius to modern poets like Lopez Velarde, poetry has been an integral part of human expression. In the 16th century depiction of Shahnameh's Book of Kings, we witness the power of storytelling through verse. Each word carefully chosen to paint vivid pictures in our minds. Just as RODIN's sculpture "The Thinker" captures a moment frozen in time, so does poetry capture fleeting emotions and thoughts. ENNIUS, Quintus - a writer from centuries ago - reminds us that even in ancient times, people recognized the beauty and significance of poetic language. The Tomb of Ines de Castro stands as a testament to love immortalized through words. Ignacio de Luzan's "La poetica (The Poetics)" cover invites us to delve deeper into the study and understanding of this art form. Camoes or Camoens' Portuguese verses resonate with passion and longing while Gil Vicente's plays bring humor and social commentary together on stage. Jorge Manrique's sculpted figure reminds us that poetry can take many forms beyond written words. Pierre de Ronsard's oil paintings showcase how visual arts can intertwine with poetic expressions. And let us not forget Vicente Espinel, who proves that music too can be a vessel for poetic expression. From Tagore to Lopez Velarde, poets across cultures have used their craft to inspire change, evoke emotions, and challenge societal norms. Their words transcend time and space; they connect generations separated by centuries but united by shared human experiences. So let us immerse ourselves in this world where every syllable counts; where rhythm dances on our tongues; where metaphors ignite our imagination.
