<u>Compare and contrast W. H. Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" and William Carlos Williams's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus." </u>
<u>What similarities and differences do you see in the way the poets present ideas to the reader?</u>
The most important similarity between W.H. Auden and William Carlos Williams' poems is that both describe Pieter Brueghel's painting <em>Landscape With The Fall of Icarus</em>. Both poets illustrate the scene and all its surroundings with detail. Both poets exemplify with imagery the painting's scene and what it depicts.
<u>Nevertheless, the poets do differ in other elements:</u>
- Auden presents his poem using free verse and divides it into two long stanzas without any rhyme. Although William Carlos Williams doesn't use rhyme either, he keeps a more traditional construction by dividing the poem into six stanzas with three lines in each.
- Auden reflects on suffering and the burden of routine depicted in the painting with more delicate and meditative observations. He mentions Icarus in the second stanza and contemplates his psyche in a deeper way. Williams, on the other hand, presents his ideas in a concise manner. He states the reader the facts and describes the painting with concrete examples. He mentions Icarus since the first stanza but doesn't concentrate on what he might have felt or what others might be feeling in that precise moment.
- Auden sensed the painting and tells the reader his experience when he saw it. Williams is an observer. He tells the reader a descriptive summary of what he saw without delving into his inner experience and thoughts.
Answer:
<u>At this moment, I am thinking about the reconstruction of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame and I am making some important questions about it.</u>
Explanation:
At this moment, I am thinking about the reconstruction of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame and I am making some important questions about it. The first question that comes to my mind is how much could the reconstruction cost?. It will reach several hundred million euros, according to experts. The second question I have is who will contribute the money for the reconstruction? According to what I read in the newspapers, there were already up to 750 million euros in donation commitments. My third question is how long could the repair work take? The forecasts on the restoration deadlines are very variable, the works will take between 10 and 20 years at least. And my final question is when will the cathedral be open to the public? Again, according to what I read this morning, the interior of the cathedral could be reopened to the public quickly, since it was desired by both the Mayor's Office and the archbishopric of Paris. However, first it must verify the solidity of the structure of the monument. Hopefully, the restoration will have a positive outcome after all the complex work that will be necessary to accomplish this goal.
