Welcome readers!
Concerning I.A.Richards, we are to do critical interpretations of any variety of song, hymn, poem or on any poetic expression, where we have to also keep in mind "four types of misunderstandings" discussed by the critic and based on the essay's analysis, we have to give poetic expression on any work selected by us(click here)refraining ourselves from old criticism:
-Task assigned by Dr. Dilip Barad(sir)
E=mc2 - Dave Proffitt, taken for critical interpretation based on four misunderstanding:
Energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared
This mass-energy equivalence within this formula compared
Essentially saying a small amount of matter contains a lot of energy
Reflected in elegant brevity this ultimate energy-mass synergy
Sets the cosmic speed limit to the speed of light
That mass becomes infinite no matter what the might
Albert got us to think about a brand new space-type rhyme
Combined them both together in a dimension called space-time
Albert’s playmate of the mind fascination with the speed of light
Gave Albert new ideas with its effect on times new insight
Clocks through the universe flying in high values of “c”
Run so much slower than the ones right next to you and me.
Thank you Albert Einstein for thinking “outside the box”
For showing us Newtonian physics are a different kind of block
At the speed of light becomes a round hole to a square peg
the Chandrasekhar Limit to star mass a black hole does beg.
A concept taken by the poet.
A concept taken by the poet.
First of all we see here: Newton and Chandrashekhar are removed from the landmark of physics, while "Einstein" is given due importance, and is appreciated as a thinker of 'outside of box' and as having 'a new insight for the process of combining "space-time(mass&energy)", which has generated for him 'new ideas' for time(c).
If we do its literal translation, we may gain an idea that the aforementioned formula is based on "Energy=Mass": Both are equivalent to each other as shown by "Einstein" and both can be compared with each other. Mass is an entity in itself, which consists of a very small amount of matter, but when both 'E' and 'M' are synergized, they are thrashed with 'C' (time) and are becoming infinite, which are transformed into "space-time" dimension and are possible for the effect on time that has generated for him a new idea and also he is thanked by the poet.
1. The word "Mass" can be used for "density/quantity/people(mass of people)/substance and energy is equivalent to the growth of mass(people).Energy can't be equal to mass, while here it isn't mentioned "the amount of energy or what type of energy, what type of frequency it has or how severe it is. Energy can be also compared with 'strength or will power' that can defeat the mass/have a solution. Furthermore 'time can't be massed' as it is translucent/transparent and goes in a very light manner.
"The speed of light squared".
2. As we see when there is natural light of sun/moon or any other object of the universe, it only has a ray of light and with the help of it the rest area/region is brightened and the other amount of infrared radiation is emitted to mars. If it is squared then in what manner, the light has been covered? Or transformed in square into some universe objects as we have stars in the universe? But those are made up of up and down triangle like shape.. than how?
"The cosmic speed limit to the speed of light; that mass becomes infinite no matter what the might".
3. The cosmic(energy+mass) limit to the speed of light: Here a question arises that how a combined object can limit its speed, when encounter with light. Was the poet has described this concerning "the spirit entering into its light". Which we see many a times a sublimation of a spirit, enters just with a break into its infinite world and is removed from the Earth. But here the space-time becomes infinite then how the theories are getting altered by various physicists from time to time. While on another side we see light also emits energy, then it can be doubled the energy with prior one than becoming static by light. It can't be easily digested.
"Albert's playmate of the mind".
4. Here "Albert's mind is considered as his own playmate". Yes it is there that mind can go, wherever a person wants it to go. But sometimes it has been broken out due to some weak mental faculties. The very meaning suggests "both Albert and the mind are playing with each other". While here it is possible only with an animate thing like "Albert" or it suggests as Albert is playing with his mind, just in testing manner.
"Fascination with the speed of light".
5. Perhaps here "Einstein's imagination" is compared with light like transparency, which doesn't have any barricade just going on smoothly on its instructed way. But imagination can't be with the speed of light and it can't help to fascinate anything as it is an inanimate thing(seems as personification is utilized here). But it can be with such translucency.
"Clocks through the universe flying in high values of 'c'".
6. Clocks are inanimate things and those can't fly(personification is used). It seems as some insignificant thing is given significane(in the form of time). As the nest is insignificant without its occupier/home/any place.
"Run so much slower than the ones right next to you and me".
7. Though the poet hasn't mentioned, who is standing beside him and the other person, to whom he is addressing. But both are compared with time which is running slow than them. How a transparent speed is comparable with concrete one?
Here it seems as new kind of documentation as it has increased the power of thinking by enhancing curiousity to know more(e.g: the speed of light and imagination; clocks flying for c etc.) and by comparing one after another getting new ideas(sublimation of spirit with breaking manner, nest/home vs clock as a formed structure for shelter for humanbeing as well as for bird or any creature)
Also the other analytical approach of criticism is fulfilled, where I have explicitly mentioned what I have think or feel and at what possible reasons it can be liked or disliked by me. Moreover the last approach is also fulfilled of by hearing and reading how to frame our understanding accordingly.
You would see in my poetic expression for this particular poem, how this poem has made me very much curious, raise such questions, how it has helped me to reflect my feelings and thinking along with it only by understanding(read and hear) one can write such work, otherwise cannot.
Hence we saw here by considering "four misunderstandings of I.A. Richards essay, how I have interpreted the above mentioned poem and then related it with the analytical critical approaches along with the approval of having been done.
Refer to this song:(https://samiyakagdi313.blogspot.com/2019/12/all-is-well-song.html) based on the same idea as mentioned above.
Comparing both below mentioned songs parallely, with the same tools applied in aforementioned lyrics:
Released on 1st sept.,2015 on YouTube by Tseries company:
Yadaan vich ae tunDil di gal main dassa
Teri meri, meri teri ik jind'diIk jind'di what to doTere liye main kya karun
In this we may see the influence of indi-pop music and also the song starts with different words of lyrics rather than similarizing the old version of the same lyrics. It has also been recited in Punjabi language. In old version it has serious tone, while in new version it has delightful tone, going on in zig zag beats, both versions have the same complaining words/describes their emotional state by being in love.
The song says that: someone is hangovered by someone's thoughts and he/she wants to express his/her situation. But the question arises, to whom? Perceives as they both have the same kind of life but to acquire one what one should do, either he can only swing or dance or sing.
When looking it critically, the reader may think that what he/she doesn't have any work than keeping on recalling someone. If one does such thing then perhaps he may be emotionally distortive/fool. Why not one can be settled by easily getting Mary to someone, rather than doing such silly things like; dancing, singing and swinging: only to earn someone's heart.
धीरे धीरे से मेरी ज़िन्दगी में आना
धीरे धीरे से दिल को चुराना
तुमसे प्यार हमें है कितना जान-ए-जाना
तुमसे मिलकर तुमको है बतानाजब से तुझे देखा, दिल को कही आराम नहींमेरे होठों पे एक तेरे सिवा कोई नाम नहीं
अपना भी हाल तुम्हारे जैसा है साजन
बस याद तुझे करते हैं और कोई काम नहींबन गया हूँ मैं, तेरा दीवानाधीरे धीरे से दिल को चुरानाIn this song we say the typicality of love. Where one says: since she/he has seen someone, he/she is unable to be in rest and since then he/she is talking only about his/her beloved/suitor. While this can be thought at the same juncture as about the prior new version.Hence we see here how the two songs, though different in some respect to lyrics, but similarises in some aspects and has influence of both 1990s(based on filmi-ghazal) and 2015(Indi-pop), and the difference can be seen clearly.A question arises in mind that as it was composed under influence of modern era in India, can it be said as we saw a poem and song, critically evaluating with I.A. Richards modern western influence of close textual reading tendency, it has been influenced with modern era tendency though in some respects..
