OD- Oneness of literature

     In the  essay " Tradition and individual talent" T.S.Eliot talked about the tradition, means not the traditional but the historical sense . sense of history or knowledge of history is much important, because history is our grate heritage. we should learn from the history. He said that " Pastness of the past and it's relevant with present". so with the use of historical thinks and the talent writers produced something new and artistic things. For example, in his great work , " The waste land" he used various myth and historical figurers like myth of Sibyl, and Tristan and isolde. And historical or mythical figurers like Hyacinth, Apollo and poseidon etc. His epic poem Waste land is also connected with the great historical event world war - 1. So, we can understand that he had a good historical and mythical sense because he was very learned man , that's why he known as a classiest. Same way in John Keat's odes also he used so many mythical figures and myths also, so we can't understand easily but read a lot.

     Same way in the Northrop Frye's Archetypal Criticism he talked about  oneness, because the skeleton or DNA of all literature is same, for example Taj mahal used for as symbol of love and on that theme many movie like Romio and Juliat made, various seasons like spring, winter and all. so through this various symbol we can easily understand.

      So, all literature has oneness because writers wrote with the help of historical sense and try to show the human emotions, and felling with this type of Archetypal symbols. Because

 

Respected sir,

Here i am present my views regarding these three questions,

1) This first question is very debatable, because both T.S. Eliot and Friedrich Nietzsche are different in their views but both are right in their views. so as per Nietzsche's views he said that believes in your , Faith in self, and God is dead.and talked about " superman". so, faith in self is good, and we have such a good examples like Buddha , and Christ , but latter on they became God and people start worshiping.on the other side Eliot was very religious person, and that's why he used various example of Myths, and Buddhism, Hinduism etc. And through this he put his idea well, he talked on universal psyche. Eliot is regressive as compared to Nietzche. Eliot achieved universality .
2) T.S. Eliot and Freud both are contemporary, and both are right in their views though they different. Because Eliot was religious man, and that's why he talked about that repressed your ' Primitive instincts' and he talked about salvation and spirituality, through this he he try to preserve the nation and culture also. on the other side Freud talked as per psychologist's view that don't repressed your any wishes because which is very harmful, even in Primitive instincts also. Osho also said same things in the book " Sambhog se samathi " that it is also a way for spirituality. In the movie Fire by Deepa Mehta, we find that how Radha and sita fulfilled their repressed desires, in different way. so most of the people can't repressed their desires. In the case of Eliot, we notice that when we read his autobiographical views we find some unconscious view and some real life element also present .
3) In The Waste land , he uses many references of Indian religious. Through this he try to gave the universal touch of his idea on spiritual degradation and sexual perversion. In last part " What the thunder said" he used such things from Upnishad,
e.g.


“Ganga was sunken, and the limp leaves waited for rain,
While the black clouds Gathered far distant, over Himavant.”

Eliot uses the three " Da"  which is taken from " Brihadaranyaka Upanishad". Means...

1.Datta.... Be Giver

We have to be giver. For sake of  humanity, lots of people scarified their life also because only blood purify the evils. Humanity are survived only because of such people. so, it is said that....

" Blood is thiker than Water."

2. Dayadhvam....Sympathies

Everybody is in his prison because of self ego. And self is the key to come out from it but really it is very difficult task.

3. Damyata........Self Control



Everything is burning in waste Land. Boat as body and Fishing and fished, through this we find that Western culture has bad connotation with sexual perversion and spiritual draught. So, Self control is the most important.

Original lines of the poem which suggest above three meanings, like..

        “DA
        Datta: What have we given?
        My friend  blood shaking my heart
        The awful daring of a moment's surrender
         Which an age of prudence can never retract
By this, and this only, we have existed
         Which is not to be found in our obituraies
         or in memories draped by the beneficient spider
         Or under seals broken by the lean solicitor
         In our empty rooms
        DA
       Dayadhvm: I have heard the key
       Turn in the door once and turn once only
       We think of the key, each in his prision
       Thinking of the key, each confirms a prison
       Only at nightfall, aetherial rumours
       Revive for a moment a broken coriolanus
       DA
      Damyata: The boat responded
      Gsily, to the hand expert with sail and oar
      The sea was calm, your heart would have
      responded
      Gaily, when invited, beating obedient
      To controlling hands
I     sat upon the shore
      Fishing, with the arid plain  behing me
      Shall I at least set my lands in order?

London Bridge is falling down falling down falling
        down

Poi S'ascose nel foco che gli affina
        Quando fiam ceu chelidon- O swallow swallow
         le prince d'Aquitaine a la tour abolie
 These fragments I have shired against my ruins
         Why then lle fit you. Hieronymo's mad againe.
         Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata.
