end snoring forever
You please interpret / analyze a poem gahini lake?
Gahini Lake John Nagenda I stood at one end of the year gahini Lake years ago, late one evening and saw it stretched far below me, with a hint of red sunset. Here and there ripple disturbed the surface Where guests joked bird flying low over the water fairly calm, and landed again. below me, quiet lake, around me, darkening melancholy which, while occasionally appeared Bush, in a bold, defiant loneliness. And there might be one or two songs from the invisible lonely bird. As I watched, the light was swallowed by the darkness rising from the lake and points of light in the darkness, one after the other. below me, the lake was black But gurgled and whispered, and what I was snoring forever lost in this moment of time empty?
Hmm, this is the first African poem I analyzed in the summer. It helped to see John Nagenda, the famous poet and writer of Uganda. It seems that he write at a time when African writers were still trying to create a body of work of the same caliber as the old-school European writers using correct English grammar, but still remain true essence of being African. The information that I would pay special attention last 4 lines of this poem: it embodies the black lake says that "gurgled and whispered, and snoring. This gives you the feeling that there is a hidden humanity in this geographical feature, you have to listen to it until you hear the gurgles, whispers and snoring. It is a subtle commentary on the literary world, which was dominated mainly Caucasian writers. Latest issue in the poem seems to imply (to me) that John is hearing something about that black elemental humanity, as described in the lines just above the question. Can talk about something completely different, though. The line "In the temerity, defiant loneliness" indicates that John or speaker poem is known loneliness that comes from exhibiting courage or outside the normal way thinking. light, which is about intelligence or spirit, is overcome by "darkness rising from the lake," suggests to me that Perhaps John thought there might be a superstition or ignorance, which crushes some of the most inspired efforts of people. Having read books on African black Haitian voodoo, I'd probably John commented something about these old superstitious religious rituals, which suffocates spiritual progress. However, another "place of light" also appears (which reminds me of the inauguration expression of our first President George Bush (Senior, not Junior), which can only be a literal physical description of the lake and people turn on their lights at night, or it could mean that despite the spiritual darkness and ignorance, there is great potential for success among people Africa / Uganda. More example would be isolated cases of inspired leadership and creativity in Uganda / Afridi seems to be marked "one or two songs the invisible solitary bird. "I think the first half of the poem is an excellent description of the lake, but in the second half of the poem seems to have more personal opinions Nagenda is symbolically speaking. Hope this helps!
