“Poetry is a sword of lightning, ever unsheathed, which consumes the scabbard that would contain it.” This, Shelley’s famous metaphor for poetry, should be the underlying theme of these presentations – something to which you’ll refer back. Always be asking yourself, “How is the poem on which I am presenting a ‘sword of lightning?’” To help you better understand the metaphor, I include an explication from a former student, the once and future king of decompressing figures of speech: “Shelley’s metaphor is a fresh log thrown on a dying fire. It kindles an inferno of thought. It provokes the reader. It grabs the reader’s attention and never loosens its grip. Shelley does not tell the reader what poetry is like, but rather what poetry is… A poem is a “sword of lightning,” impressing upon the reader how electric poetry is. Swords are wielded to stab, to cut, to kill. But this sword is made of lightning: the very symbol of nature’s powerful wrath. Poetry influences people as strongly as the destructive power of a fantastical lightning sword.” work name is IN DEFENCE OF POETRY
