    A revelatory and deeply personal history of twentieth-century poetry by prize-winning poet and memoirist John BurnsidePoetry helps us to make sense of our world, transforming what the Russian poet Osip Mandelstam called the "noise of time" into a kind of music. The Music of Time is a unique history of twentieth-century poetry by one of today's most acclaimed poets, blending incandescent personal meditations with rare insights into a broad range of poets who distilled the essence of the moment, gave voice to our griefs and joys, and gave shape to our collective memory.Bringing together poets from times and places as diverse as Tsarist Russia, 1960s Harlem, and Ireland at the height of the Troubles, Burnside reveals how poetry responded to the dramatic events of the past century while shaping our impressions of them. He takes readers from the trenches of World War I to a prison cell in Nazi Germany, and from Rilke's grave in the Swiss Alps to Dylan Thomas's Welsh seaside. His luminous narrative is woven through with insights into the poet's creative process as well as lyrical and thought-provoking digressions on topics ranging from marriage to the Kennedy assassination.A spellbinding work of literary history, The Music of Time reveals how poets engaged with the most important issues and events of the twentieth century, and bears personal witness to the beauty and power of an art form unlike any other Frontmatter -- CONTENTS -- A NOTE TO THE READER -- INTRODUCTION -- GHOSTLY MUSIC IN THE AIR -- EVERYONE SANG -- L'INFINITO -- EINEN REINEN VORGANG -- THE GRIEF THAT DOES NOT SPEAK -- THE POWER OF THE VISIBLE -- A VERY YOUNG POLICEMAN EXPLODING -- AN OLD CHAOS OF THE SUN -- WELTENTON -- LA RAZÓN POÉTICA -- WHY LOOK AT ANIMALS? -- A STONY INVITATION TO REFLECT -- A GOLDEN AGE OF POETRY AND POWER -- WHERE TURTLES WIN -- SÓLO TÚ, ALMA MÍA -- LIKE A STRIPÈD PAIR OF PANTS -- TANTALUS IN LOVE -- A GIFT TO THE FUTURE -- THE PANIC OF THE ADVERSARY -- THE BAT-POET -- TO RECLAIM LOST SPACE -- A TOWERING STRANGENESS -- THE POETS IN GHANA -- NOTES -- SELECT BIBILIOGRAPHY -- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS -- INDEX

    This thesis evolved from exploring a corpus of 1021 poems from 44 volumes of poetry by the Syrian poet and diplomat Nizar Qabbani (1923-1998). Statistical investigations with the corpus analysis tools Voyant and Sketch: Engine reinforced some of the 'prejudices' that both Arab and non-Arab readers and scholars usually harbour towards Qabbani's texts: That they are mainly about women and love. However, a distant reading using computations of frequencies, statistical keywords and topics yielded an unexpected result: The sea (Arabic al-baḥr) is the most frequently referenced geophysical entity; in 1021 texts, the type al-baḥr 'the sea' appears 265 times, and derivatives of √bḥr, whose semantics are mainly related to the sea, 540 times, distributed over 286 of the 1021 texts. The review of these 286 texts revealed that √bḥr-words have a particular effect when they're used in the microcosm of a love relationship to characterise the addressee - the beloved woman. 75 poems show that √bḥr-words can be employed in three ways to conceptualise the beloved: (1) she's equated with the sea or marine and maritime entities such as fish and harbours; (2) she has power over the sea, dominates it or even possesses it; (3) her body - especially the eyes - is associated with the sea, or with the marine and maritime. A close reading of 39 of these 75 poems supported by data visualisations with RAWgraphs evidenced that, cognitive-linguistically in the sense of George Lakoff, various paraphiers of the source domain SEA come to effect when conceptualising the beloved as a target domain; most analogies, however, result from sensually perceptible qualities such as the colour of the sea. While in Arab literary discourse the focus is more on the land, Qabbani's poetry bares a holistic understanding of the sea - including marine flora and fauna, maritime aspects of seafaring, and the seascape - which inspires to read Arabic literature ecocentrically in general and thalassologically in particular. Diese Arbeit entsprang der Erforschung eines Korpus von 1021 Gedichten aus 44 Gedichtbanden des syrischen Dichters und Diplomaten Nizar Qabbani (1923-1998). Statistische Untersuchungen mit den Korpusanalysetools Voyant und Sketch: Engine bestatigten zunachst die ,Vorurteile', die sowohl die arabische als auch nicht-arabische Leser- und Wissenschaft gegenuber den Texten dieses Dichters hegen: Namlich gehe es vornehmlich um Frauen und die Liebe. Ein Distant-Reading mit Berechnungen von Haufigkeiten, Keywords und Topics forderte jedoch eine unerwartete Auffalligkeit zu Tage: Das Meer ist die am haufigsten referenzierte geophysische Entitat; in 1021 Texten kommt die Type albaḥr ,das Meer' 265 mal vor, und Ableitungen von √bḥr, deren Semantik sich vor allem mit Bezug zum Meer ergeht, 540 mal, verteilt auf 286 der 1021 Texte. Die Durchsicht dieser 286 Texte ergab, dass √bḥr-Worter insbesondere dann eine Wirkung entfalten, wenn sie im Mikrokosmos einer Liebesbeziehung dazu gebraucht werden, um die angesprochene Person - die Geliebte - zu charakterisieren. In 75 Gedichten dieser Art zeigt sich, dass sich √bḥr- Worter in dreierlei Hinsicht benutzen lassen, um ein Bild der Geliebten zu entwerfen: (1) Sie wird mit dem Meer oder marin-maritimen Entitaten wie Fischen und Hafen gleichgesetzt; (2) sie habe Macht uber das Meer, wurde es beherrschen oder gar besitzen; (3) ihr Korper - vor allem die Augen - wird mit dem Meer oder Marin-Maritimem assoziiert. Ein Close-Reading von 39 dieser 75 Gedichte, verdeutlicht durch Datenvisualisierungen mit RAWgraphs, zeigte, dass kognitiv-linguistisch im Sinne von George Lakoff betrachtet verschiedene Paraphiers des Source Domain MEER in der Ausgestaltung der Geliebten als Target Domain wirken, wobei sich die meisten Analogisierungen aus sinnlich wahrnehmbaren Qualitaten wie der Farbe des Meeres ergeben. Wahrend im arabischen literarischen Diskurs der Fokus eher auf dem Land liegt, zeigt sich mit Qabbanis Dichtung ein holistisches Verstandnis des Meeres - inklusive mariner Flora und Fauna sowie maritimer Aspekte der Schifffahrt und der Meereslandschaft -, das dazu anreizt, arabische Literatur okozentrisch im Allgemeinen und thalassologisch im Besonderen zu lesen.
