00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:17,120
Okay, good morning everybody. Hope you are doing
2
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,460
well after this weekend. Have some time to read
3
00:00:21,460 --> 00:00:27,700
something about Sir Thomas Wyatt, his poem. Okay?
4
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,700
And, of course, like, having good impression about
5
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:38,820
the previous class. So, as usual, let us start by
6
00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:43,520
listening to a report. Who's ready to read her
7
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:49,480
report? Who's willing to read her report? Okay?
8
00:00:55,100 --> 00:01:00,220
Good. The last lecture was very formal, because
9
00:01:00,220 --> 00:01:03,460
the cameras were founded. All of us were not in
10
00:01:03,460 --> 00:01:08,360
the normal state, including Dr. Akram. Anyway, Dr.
11
00:01:08,380 --> 00:01:10,820
Akram wrote some part of poem, which was not
12
00:01:10,820 --> 00:01:14,720
written in the right way as a poem. It's called
13
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,240
Forty Love. We were surprised. Then he wrote
14
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,620
another poem, which was so strange one. It's
15
00:01:21,620 --> 00:01:25,140
called An-An-Tee-Tee. So he asked us to put it in
16
00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:28,970
a metrical language. One student did it, and all
17
00:01:28,970 --> 00:01:31,950
of us started laughing. Then he read it like a
18
00:01:31,950 --> 00:01:35,330
poem. It was a Chinese language. In fact, last
19
00:01:35,330 --> 00:01:39,590
lecture was very funny, and it was a good start
20
00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:43,410
our day with that. OK, thank you very much. Now,
21
00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:48,070
again, is anybody willing to? Yes?
22
00:01:53,210 --> 00:01:55,890
So far, it's been positive response.
23
00:01:58,830 --> 00:02:01,210
But again, if you have a problem, you can
24
00:02:01,210 --> 00:02:05,550
complain. It's not a big deal, you know? Okay.
25
00:02:07,050 --> 00:02:09,670
Really it was interesting lecture last week. I
26
00:02:09,670 --> 00:02:12,250
admire the system of education by distance very
27
00:02:12,250 --> 00:02:15,310
much. How it's beautiful to find my lecture when I
28
00:02:15,310 --> 00:02:18,330
need it on my computer despite my feeling in
29
00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:21,470
restriction because of picturing devices in more
30
00:02:21,470 --> 00:02:27,270
than one place. One of my happiness reasons also
31
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:31,110
the easiness of the poetry introduction that make
32
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:33,850
me trust in the poetry material. Okay, thank you
33
00:02:33,850 --> 00:02:38,800
very much. Next time, I'm going to ask randomly.
34
00:02:39,060 --> 00:02:41,120
I'm not going to tell you who's willing, okay?
35
00:02:44,220 --> 00:02:49,720
Now, what about, like, the poem? I mean, who's
36
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,420
lost a hand? What about the,
37
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,840
I mean, the poet himself, Sir Thomas Wyatt? I
38
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,260
think you had time to prepare and to write a
39
00:03:02,260 --> 00:03:06,580
response. So I need somebody with a response, and
40
00:03:06,580 --> 00:03:10,280
then I have to ask each student.
41
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,420
Who's ready to read a response? Yes, please.
42
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,820
When Dr. Habib asked us to write our first
43
00:03:23,820 --> 00:03:26,680
response about our first gorgeous poem, Who's Lost
44
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,160
a Hunt, I knew that we were going to write about
45
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,620
our first impression when we read the poem for the
46
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:34,060
first time. At the same time, first impressions
47
00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:36,820
differ widely, and it's very unrealable. I may
48
00:03:36,820 --> 00:03:39,520
like the poem, but the other may not. I may enjoy
49
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,520
it, but my friend may not. All these questions
50
00:03:43,070 --> 00:03:45,790
came to my mind and make me a little bit confused.
51
00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:49,630
But the teacher said that the first impression may
52
00:03:49,630 --> 00:03:51,690
differ from one person to another, but at the same
53
00:03:51,690 --> 00:03:54,250
time there is one common understanding and
54
00:03:54,250 --> 00:03:56,610
realization come after your realization to the
55
00:03:56,610 --> 00:03:58,790
language and the use of the language and the
56
00:03:58,790 --> 00:04:00,650
historical background about the poem and about
57
00:04:00,650 --> 00:04:04,970
itself, himself. We are lucky to begin with one of
58
00:04:04,970 --> 00:04:07,450
the best sonnet ever written by White, which is
59
00:04:07,450 --> 00:04:10,270
Hoselist Hunt. It's held by White's imitation for
60
00:04:10,270 --> 00:04:13,150
the lime, written by Petrac, a 14th century
61
00:04:13,150 --> 00:04:15,950
Italian poet. He describes a hunt where a deer is
62
00:04:15,950 --> 00:04:18,850
birthed and ultimately owned by the royal who owns
63
00:04:18,850 --> 00:04:22,530
the land. When I looked on the poems that the
64
00:04:22,530 --> 00:04:25,490
teacher selected, I realized that they selected
65
00:04:25,490 --> 00:04:29,150
poems was the most common poems in certain ages.
66
00:04:29,490 --> 00:04:32,550
For example, this poem written in the Elizabethan
67
00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:34,890
age when the courtly love was one of the most
68
00:04:34,890 --> 00:04:38,650
important themes. Courtly love could be defined as
69
00:04:38,650 --> 00:04:41,930
unsuccessful love exists between two unequal
70
00:04:41,930 --> 00:04:45,310
sides, the lover from a non-upper class but the
71
00:04:45,310 --> 00:04:48,790
lady from a high class. And it's worth mentioning
72
00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:51,830
that Devout was succeeded in making his personal
73
00:04:51,830 --> 00:04:55,690
experience and his personal feeling equals with
74
00:04:55,690 --> 00:04:58,570
the public one. It reached our heart and which
75
00:04:58,570 --> 00:05:02,110
make it realistic one. The poem open with a sort
76
00:05:02,110 --> 00:05:04,950
of open invitation to hunters who wants to take a
77
00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:07,890
capture hind. Furthermore, he describes that Anne
78
00:05:08,050 --> 00:05:11,570
which she's the high class lady, become the
79
00:05:11,570 --> 00:05:14,110
property of the king alone. He introduced the
80
00:05:14,110 --> 00:05:17,270
sonnet, which is a form of lyrical poetry written
81
00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:19,710
in different shape. It's written in accordance
82
00:05:19,710 --> 00:05:22,070
with a set of rules and it consists of 14 lines.
83
00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:25,670
The first eight lines from one unit and the last
84
00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:28,750
six, it's another. And it was introduced to
85
00:05:28,750 --> 00:05:32,050
England by Wyatt. So he considered the father of
86
00:05:32,050 --> 00:05:36,480
English sonnet. Moreover, I liked the using of
87
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,360
figure of speech that the poet uses in his poem.
88
00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:42,180
For instance, the using of intonation in the
89
00:05:42,180 --> 00:05:45,340
first, third and the fifth lines, which add a
90
00:05:45,340 --> 00:05:50,220
musical tone to the poem. Metaphors are also used,
91
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,660
which is a central figure of speech. When he
92
00:05:53,660 --> 00:05:57,680
compares between a lady to a hand in the first
93
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,920
line, and when he compares between the task of
94
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,120
catching air to the task of catching a wind.
95
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:08,800
Another figurative device found in the poem is the
96
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,000
paradox, which is clearly seen at the end of the
97
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,600
poem. Here, Piland declares that although she's a
98
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,880
pure stem, it's dangerous to hold her as she is
99
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,430
wild. Talking about the rhyme in The Who's Rest To
100
00:06:23,430 --> 00:06:27,910
Hunt, Wyatt uses a yampic petameter in which a
101
00:06:27,910 --> 00:06:32,410
line has five pairs of unstressed syllabus. To
102
00:06:32,410 --> 00:06:34,550
conclude, I'd like to confess that the poem is
103
00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:37,150
amazing and the poet succeeded in describing his
104
00:06:37,150 --> 00:06:40,870
suffering and his sorrow, talking about one of the
105
00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:43,290
most important theme in his age, which is
106
00:06:43,290 --> 00:06:45,710
quarterly love. Last but not least, I want to say
107
00:06:45,710 --> 00:06:49,550
that he did succeed in ending it perfectly. Okay,
108
00:06:49,610 --> 00:06:52,230
I think she is worth A big applause.
109
00:06:55,150 --> 00:06:57,950
Thank you very much. This is a very, you know,
110
00:06:58,190 --> 00:07:04,310
thorough, entire response, which makes up, like,
111
00:07:04,930 --> 00:07:08,090
responsibility great. There have been many terms
112
00:07:08,090 --> 00:07:09,950
that have been introduced, like the sonnet,
113
00:07:10,070 --> 00:07:13,210
courtly love, rhyme, rhythm, you know, the poem,
114
00:07:13,430 --> 00:07:16,330
the age. So this is what we are going to do today.
115
00:07:16,830 --> 00:07:20,050
But again, as a point of entry, I would like to go
116
00:07:20,050 --> 00:07:22,510
through your response, whether you liked the poem
117
00:07:22,510 --> 00:07:25,770
or you didn't like the poem. Those who liked the
118
00:07:25,770 --> 00:07:29,130
poem should say why. Those who didn't like, again,
119
00:07:29,530 --> 00:07:32,410
they should justify why they didn't like it.
120
00:07:51,330 --> 00:07:57,990
Okay, again, courtly love is, you know, an issue
121
00:07:57,990 --> 00:08:02,170
which we have to explain, you know. But were you
122
00:08:02,170 --> 00:08:05,710
happy with the poet? Like, you think he's a good
123
00:08:05,710 --> 00:08:11,390
poet? Did you admire the poet? Did you? He's a
124
00:08:11,390 --> 00:08:16,150
nice gentleman? Like, okay, the poet, I think in
125
00:08:16,150 --> 00:08:20,220
the poem, Do you know what is it about? Like what
126
00:08:20,220 --> 00:08:20,700
is it about?
127
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:29,460
Okay, is it about like a man hunting? Huh? No?
128
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,300
Why? You know, the poet declares from the very
129
00:08:33,300 --> 00:08:37,160
beginning, who's supposed to hunt, I know where is
130
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,580
a knight. So don't you think this is a hunting
131
00:08:40,580 --> 00:08:44,920
position? Huh? You think that he is going to hunt
132
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,710
something? But when we read it after adaptor, we
133
00:08:49,710 --> 00:08:52,170
discover that he's talking about his mistress. OK.
134
00:08:52,390 --> 00:08:58,830
So this is not about hunting, but rather it's
135
00:08:58,830 --> 00:09:01,290
about something else. It's about the relationship
136
00:09:01,290 --> 00:09:07,810
between a man and a woman. In this sense, this
137
00:09:07,810 --> 00:09:11,410
kind of poetry or literature, we call it what?
138
00:09:11,730 --> 00:09:14,490
Allegorical. OK. Thank you very much. It is
139
00:09:14,490 --> 00:09:19,510
allegorical. Allegory, it means to speak in the
140
00:09:19,510 --> 00:09:22,970
terms about something in the terms of something
141
00:09:22,970 --> 00:09:27,330
else. This is what we call allegory. Okay?
142
00:09:31,370 --> 00:09:32,010
Good.
143
00:09:34,890 --> 00:09:36,010
Let's see someone else.
144
00:09:39,230 --> 00:09:42,010
But again, we might say,
145
00:09:48,140 --> 00:09:53,940
Why wasn't he very straightforward? Okay. So why?
146
00:09:55,140 --> 00:10:00,760
We might think of an answer later. Good. Let's see
147
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,920
somebody else. Go ahead. Do you like the poem or
148
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,620
do you like the poem? Okay.
149
00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:19,670
Let's see. What about the poet? Have you read
150
00:10:19,670 --> 00:10:22,570
something about the poet? You mentioned the
151
00:10:22,570 --> 00:10:27,110
sonnet. What is a sonnet? What is a sonnet? Yes?
152
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:38,190
Yes, so it is a poem formed of 14 lines. Now you
153
00:10:38,190 --> 00:10:41,210
said like in her response she said Sir Thomas
154
00:10:41,210 --> 00:10:45,290
Wyatt was the father of the English sonnet. What
155
00:10:45,290 --> 00:10:48,960
does this mean? Like, was he the one who created
156
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,840
the Sonic? Was he? Yes?
157
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,620
Yeah, he brought it from Rome. Very good. He
158
00:10:59,620 --> 00:11:05,100
brought that phone from Petrarch.
159
00:11:05,420 --> 00:11:12,020
Petrarch was a famous Italian poet. And you know,
160
00:11:12,220 --> 00:11:15,820
Sir Thomas Foyer had the chance because he was an
161
00:11:15,820 --> 00:11:21,340
ambassador He was a courtier living in the court
162
00:11:21,340 --> 00:11:27,840
of, you know, Henry VIII. He had the chance. He
163
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,340
had the chance to go to Rome, and he translated.
164
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,300
He met Petrarch. He translated some of his poems,
165
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:42,920
and he started to use, you know, this type of, you
166
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,560
know, or this form. in order to express a very
167
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:50,480
traditional English theme, which is courtly love.
168
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,600
Again, courtly love is a term which requires some
169
00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:00,720
definition. What is courtly love? Because, you
170
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,180
know, I want you to understand this is like a
171
00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:08,080
theme which reflected the culture of the time. And
172
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,420
the culture of the time was a little bit masculine
173
00:12:11,420 --> 00:12:16,460
culture. You know, courtly love was, you know, was
174
00:12:16,460 --> 00:12:20,920
type of poetry which was written by like
175
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:29,080
courtiers. Okay. So what is courtly love? Yes. I
176
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,820
think it is a traditional English game. Okay. With
177
00:12:33,820 --> 00:12:37,640
a, with a man. They see a woman and fall in love
178
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,000
with her. He put himself in a room for two court
179
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,570
days. Yes. If the woman of his beloved accepted
180
00:12:47,570 --> 00:12:54,930
him, he will write the best poem to express his
181
00:12:54,930 --> 00:13:01,110
beloved. And if she rejected him, he will write
182
00:13:01,110 --> 00:13:04,910
the best poem to express his family. That's it.
183
00:13:05,310 --> 00:13:08,630
You know, yes, it is very traditional, very old
184
00:13:08,630 --> 00:13:17,260
English theme, you know, and It was like Chaucer,
185
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,020
a 14th century. Have you heard of Chaucer? Chaucer
186
00:13:22,020 --> 00:13:24,760
was, you know, the father of English literature.
187
00:13:25,380 --> 00:13:28,180
He was writing Courtly Love and before him. And it
188
00:13:28,180 --> 00:13:30,740
seems like Courtly Love was influenced by
189
00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:34,280
troubadour poets who used to live in France and
190
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,040
those who were influenced by Arab poetry. See,
191
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,370
because in Arabic poetry, we have poetry which was
192
00:13:42,370 --> 00:13:47,010
talking about love. You know, honestly, like, the
193
00:13:47,010 --> 00:13:49,630
values of the time of the 16th century, like,
194
00:13:49,970 --> 00:13:52,970
there were two values which were very prominent
195
00:13:52,970 --> 00:13:59,030
values, courtly love and, you know, heroism. In
196
00:13:59,030 --> 00:14:03,070
order to be a hero, you should be good at writing,
197
00:14:03,090 --> 00:14:08,070
you know, courtly love. So courtly love was an
198
00:14:08,070 --> 00:14:12,340
exercise in masculinity. If anybody, if any man
199
00:14:12,340 --> 00:14:18,160
wants to prove that he is a man, he should show
200
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:23,200
his ability of writing such type of poetry. And
201
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,920
unfortunately, this type of poetry denigrates
202
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,900
women. I mean, a man wants to prove his nobility,
203
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,180
his sincerity at the expense of blackening the
204
00:14:36,180 --> 00:14:39,170
image of women. And this is something disturbing.
205
00:14:39,330 --> 00:14:42,810
I'm not sure whether some of you was disturbed
206
00:14:42,810 --> 00:14:47,750
because some of you mentioned that, yes, the poet
207
00:14:47,750 --> 00:14:52,630
was noble, the poet was good. You see? It seemed
208
00:14:52,630 --> 00:14:56,490
like some of you were attracted by the poet. Good.
209
00:14:59,870 --> 00:15:04,300
So we are dealing with traditional English theme
210
00:15:04,300 --> 00:15:12,340
written in an alien form, which is the sonnet. And
211
00:15:12,340 --> 00:15:17,680
in your response, you said Petrarchan sonnet. What
212
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,840
is a Petrarchan sonnet? How many parts are there
213
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:27,160
in the Petrarchan sonnet? There are two parts, the
214
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,090
octave and the system, the octave and the system.
215
00:15:32,450 --> 00:15:34,970
Should I write for you like these things? Okay.
216
00:15:41,150 --> 00:15:45,330
So again it's very important to notice what is
217
00:15:45,330 --> 00:15:51,610
happening, what
218
00:15:51,610 --> 00:15:53,930
is happening in each part of the song.
219
00:15:59,630 --> 00:16:03,270
What is happening in the octave? What is happening
220
00:16:03,270 --> 00:16:06,650
in, you know, the system?
221
00:16:23,770 --> 00:16:28,750
Octave and
222
00:16:28,750 --> 00:16:34,330
system. So they obtained, in the octave we have?
223
00:16:34,530 --> 00:16:37,930
Eight lines. Eight lines, and the sistet, we have?
224
00:16:37,950 --> 00:16:44,310
Six lines. Six lines. And she mentioned, like,
225
00:16:45,530 --> 00:16:47,730
that the Petrarchan Sunnah was a little bit
226
00:16:47,730 --> 00:16:53,330
distinguished for its rhyme scheme. When we are
227
00:16:53,330 --> 00:16:57,590
talking about rhyme scheme, we have to look at the
228
00:16:57,590 --> 00:16:58,590
poem in this way.
229
00:17:01,900 --> 00:17:05,360
We have to look at the, you know, the last line.
230
00:17:08,420 --> 00:17:16,860
And, so we should start with a. More, it's a new
231
00:17:16,860 --> 00:17:21,260
rhyme. You see, it should be, should it be a if
232
00:17:21,260 --> 00:17:27,080
no. And, you know, let's take the poem like this.
233
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:27,940
Sorry.
234
00:17:31,020 --> 00:17:35,420
Because I want you to know how the right scheme is
235
00:17:35,420 --> 00:17:49,600
taken. No problem.
236
00:17:57,980 --> 00:17:59,940
Okay, so we failed.
237
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,600
Okay, so if we are talking about, we can do it in
238
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:09,040
this way.
239
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:25,540
Okay, I'm is the first sound. So if we go, it
240
00:18:25,540 --> 00:18:27,200
should be given a sign A.
241
00:18:30,220 --> 00:18:35,960
It is another one, so it should be B. Then we have
242
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:41,180
sore, which is exactly the same. So we have A, B,
243
00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:51,360
B, and then A. Okay, so we have A, B, B, A, then
244
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:58,390
what? A, you know? B, B, A. So this is what we
245
00:18:58,390 --> 00:19:04,090
call the octave. Okay? And now the system should
246
00:19:04,090 --> 00:19:07,430
be assigned.
247
00:19:09,450 --> 00:19:12,790
So we have one, two, three, four, five, six,
248
00:19:12,930 --> 00:19:17,890
seven, eight. And now we have doubt. Okay? It
249
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:29,580
should be what? C, D, D, C. So C, D. C, D. Then we
250
00:19:29,580 --> 00:19:33,340
have a new rhyme, which is E, E. So this is the
251
00:19:33,340 --> 00:19:36,600
rhyme scheme of the Petrarchian Sonnet. I want you
252
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,360
to like, to be aware of the, because later, this
253
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:45,520
sonnet will not remain as it is. Henry Howard,
254
00:19:45,660 --> 00:19:50,880
Earl of Surrey, will come and develop this form
255
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:57,980
and it will assume a purely English identity. Now,
256
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,340
identity,
257
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,560
nationalism, these are issues which, you know, we
258
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,500
might discuss when we are discussing the poem. I
259
00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:13,680
don't want, like, to go far. Let's go back to the
260
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,840
poem. Have you read it aloud? I mean, the poem.
261
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,080
Have you read it aloud? How did it sound?
262
00:20:23,540 --> 00:20:24,100
Okay.
263
00:20:27,740 --> 00:20:34,700
So you started to feel with the poet. Okay.
264
00:20:37,260 --> 00:20:40,840
So, I don't know, like, how you read it.
265
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,680
Did anybody, like, read the poem, like, in a
266
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,720
lyrical, in singing it? Like, who's lost a heart?
267
00:20:51,820 --> 00:20:58,820
I know where is a nine. Or like So
268
00:20:58,820 --> 00:21:03,160
it is available on the YouTube good and which one
269
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:11,400
like did you like the singing Okay both Okay
270
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:18,020
Okay,
271
00:21:18,020 --> 00:21:24,490
so let me read it aloud for you and Who's lost a
272
00:21:24,490 --> 00:21:29,490
hunt? I know where is a nine. But as for me, alas,
273
00:21:29,870 --> 00:21:33,890
I may know more. The vain travel hath worried me
274
00:21:33,890 --> 00:21:38,270
so sore. Among them that farthest comes behind. It
275
00:21:38,270 --> 00:21:41,810
may I by no means my willed mind draw from the
276
00:21:41,810 --> 00:21:46,550
deer. But as chief bee leaves a four, fainting I
277
00:21:46,550 --> 00:21:51,150
follow. I leave after four. Since in a net I seek
278
00:21:51,150 --> 00:21:55,830
to hold the wind. Who lost her hunt, I put him out
279
00:21:55,830 --> 00:22:00,230
of doubt, as well as I may spend his time in vain.
280
00:22:00,750 --> 00:22:03,490
And the graven with diamonds and letters plain,
281
00:22:04,190 --> 00:22:09,630
there is written her fair neck round about, no
282
00:22:09,630 --> 00:22:14,130
limit and jar for Caesar I am, and while for the
283
00:22:14,130 --> 00:22:22,450
cold though I seem tame. Very sad, huh? Who's sad?
284
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,920
You or the poet? The poet. And you are not made
285
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:33,340
sad? Look at him. He's poor. He's impoverished.
286
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,300
He's abject. You understand abject? Very poor.
287
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,460
Because this is, you know, what should happen in
288
00:22:41,460 --> 00:22:47,480
courtly love. We have a poet who's abject. Why?
289
00:22:47,620 --> 00:22:50,780
Because of the cruelty of a lady. So it is the
290
00:22:50,780 --> 00:22:57,420
lady Who causes all this misery for the poet? Why?
291
00:22:57,540 --> 00:23:02,560
Because she's not compassionate. She doesn't
292
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:07,400
understand him. And she causes, I bet you don't
293
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,500
like this, of course. This is too much. But that's
294
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:18,880
what happened in Cordula. So a man wanted to
295
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:24,850
confirm you know, his masculinity. How? How can
296
00:23:24,850 --> 00:23:29,390
you show yourself that you're a gentleman? Just by
297
00:23:29,390 --> 00:23:35,550
contrasting yourself, you know, with a woman,
298
00:23:35,910 --> 00:23:38,570
right? So we have here, if we have to look at the
299
00:23:38,570 --> 00:23:42,990
man and assign some attributes to him, we'll find
300
00:23:42,990 --> 00:23:48,410
him what? Give some attributes. He's gentle? Go
301
00:23:48,410 --> 00:23:55,290
ahead. He's gentle, a bit sincere, noble, honest,
302
00:23:56,530 --> 00:23:58,650
self-confident,
303
00:24:00,290 --> 00:24:05,330
sensitive, and if you look at the lady, she's
304
00:24:05,330 --> 00:24:10,170
what? She is beautiful,
305
00:24:12,770 --> 00:24:13,730
arrogant,
306
00:24:16,020 --> 00:24:18,080
You have to be responsible for every word.
307
00:24:18,220 --> 00:24:23,900
Changeable? Like fickle? You know? What else?
308
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:33,240
Cruel? Why? Why is she cruel? Because she doesn't
309
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:41,680
reciprocate the poet his feelings. Okay. I think
310
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:46,940
if we read it in courtly love, we might not enjoy
311
00:24:46,940 --> 00:24:52,260
the aesthetics of the poem. So let's look at the
312
00:24:52,260 --> 00:24:56,320
poem, because I said that the culture of the time
313
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,320
before, we have to understand the poem in its
314
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,900
cultural and historical context. The 16th century
315
00:25:05,900 --> 00:25:10,250
was an age of expansion, was an age of even
316
00:25:10,250 --> 00:25:14,450
establishing its identity. Henry VIII, who took
317
00:25:14,450 --> 00:25:23,530
power in 1519, was a very powerful king and he
318
00:25:23,530 --> 00:25:30,750
wanted to establish the idea of Great Britain. So
319
00:25:30,750 --> 00:25:33,790
he succeeded in getting Wales because Wales was
320
00:25:33,790 --> 00:25:40,990
not part of the Great Britain, and even by fourth
321
00:25:40,990 --> 00:25:45,870
island in order to have. So he became the monarch
322
00:25:45,870 --> 00:25:52,890
of Great Britain. And during his time, England was
323
00:25:52,890 --> 00:25:56,790
exposed to the Renaissance. And when I say
324
00:25:56,790 --> 00:26:02,190
Renaissance, we talk about the
325
00:26:02,190 --> 00:26:06,180
rebirth, the coming civilization. And of course,
326
00:26:07,020 --> 00:26:11,040
Italy, I mean Rome, where the Pope was, it was the
327
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,600
center of Renaissance.
328
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,840
England also was powerful. It wanted to expand.
329
00:26:19,620 --> 00:26:23,020
You know, the king, you know, had an army and a
330
00:26:23,020 --> 00:26:29,040
fleet. So it was the age of chivalry, chivalry
331
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,320
like knighthood. It was the age of heroism because
332
00:26:33,620 --> 00:26:36,820
If you want to expand, if you want to annex a new
333
00:26:36,820 --> 00:26:41,520
land, you need heroes. So that was the culture of
334
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:47,220
the time. And as we said, heroism in that age,
335
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,640
unfortunately, was not distinguished without
336
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:57,540
something like courtly law. So courtly love was an
337
00:26:57,540 --> 00:27:00,760
issue. You cannot prove yourself. You cannot be a
338
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,480
courtier and you cannot be influential until you
339
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,300
show that you are a courtly lover.
340
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:15,120
Of course, like Henry VIII was a controversial
341
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:19,340
king. He got married for six times. You know,
342
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:25,500
there were six queens, you know. And he first got
343
00:27:25,500 --> 00:27:31,320
married to Catherine, who was the bride of his
344
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,320
brother Arthur. Then he got married to Anne
345
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,160
Pauline, the one whom he fell in love with. And I
346
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,020
think Anne Pauline is in the background of the
347
00:27:44,020 --> 00:27:49,620
poem. But all these marriages had to be confirmed
348
00:27:49,620 --> 00:27:55,570
by the Pope in Italy. the Pope had an upper hand.
349
00:27:56,070 --> 00:28:00,050
So if he wanted to marry or to change anything, he
350
00:28:00,050 --> 00:28:04,130
had to consult or the Pope in Rome had to give him
351
00:28:04,130 --> 00:28:09,110
an agreement. But during his time, like later, he
352
00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:15,330
succeeded in 1533
353
00:28:15,330 --> 00:28:23,400
to break up with the Catholic Church of Rome and
354
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,100
started to establish the, you know, or to
355
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:31,260
encourage the established church, which is of
356
00:28:31,260 --> 00:28:34,520
England, which was Protestant. So they had some
357
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:40,700
differences with that, and he succeeded in fixing
358
00:28:40,700 --> 00:28:44,680
the English identity. So the issue of identity, it
359
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,340
was there in politics, I mean, nationalism. It was
360
00:28:48,340 --> 00:28:52,920
in politics. It was in, you know, religion. It was
361
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:59,420
even at social level. Okay. Now if we go to the
362
00:28:59,420 --> 00:29:03,240
poem, because I don't want to deprive ourselves
363
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,140
from the aesthetics of the poem. Who's lost to
364
00:29:06,140 --> 00:29:12,040
haunt? I know where is unarmed. It's a question
365
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:20,360
declaring that for people that whoever is
366
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:28,350
interested In finding a hind, a deer, I can tell
367
00:29:28,350 --> 00:29:36,330
him. But as for me, alas, I may know more. So you
368
00:29:36,330 --> 00:29:40,950
see here the poet is disinterested, is
369
00:29:40,950 --> 00:29:46,290
disinterested in hunting. Why? So we ask why. And
370
00:29:46,290 --> 00:29:50,850
we expect that you know, in the octave, he's going
371
00:29:50,850 --> 00:29:54,190
to list the reasons. Why is he disinterested
372
00:29:54,190 --> 00:29:57,910
according to the power? Why is he disinterested?
373
00:30:01,170 --> 00:30:09,230
Yes? Because he tries? Yeah, because sometimes
374
00:30:09,230 --> 00:30:12,230
like when you try to hunt and you fail, you try to
375
00:30:12,230 --> 00:30:14,530
hunt and you fail, you get bored and you get
376
00:30:14,530 --> 00:30:18,950
disinterested. Good. But as for me, alas, I may
377
00:30:18,950 --> 00:30:24,870
know more. I'm not going to do it again. Why? In
378
00:30:24,870 --> 00:30:29,670
the third line, he's trying to say why. He's
379
00:30:29,670 --> 00:30:33,950
trying to warrant his decision, to justify his
380
00:30:33,950 --> 00:30:38,970
decision. He says, the veil travailed, which is a
381
00:30:38,970 --> 00:30:42,810
French word, wearied me so sore.
382
00:30:46,340 --> 00:30:52,300
exhausted me, like the efforts, the vain. What's
383
00:30:52,300 --> 00:30:56,340
mean vain? At some point, it is very important to
384
00:30:56,340 --> 00:31:00,540
understand the dictionary meaning of the words,
385
00:31:00,660 --> 00:31:03,200
the prose meaning of the poem. So at this stage,
386
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,200
as you see, we are paraphrasing the poem and
387
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,540
paraphrasing the poem is only a step towards a
388
00:31:11,540 --> 00:31:15,380
total appreciation or a total understanding of the
389
00:31:15,380 --> 00:31:23,410
poem. The vein traveled without benefit. The vein

416
00:31:35,510 --> 00:31:41,090
benefit. The vein traveled without benefit. The
417
00:31:41,090 --> 00:31:46,440
vein Yeah, there is a kind of alliteration, so
418
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,340
sore. Like somebody, this alliteration, so sore.
419
00:31:50,820 --> 00:31:56,080
The vain travel has wearied me so sore. Somebody
420
00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:00,240
like complaining against like this. It was very
421
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:05,240
painful. Among them, that farthest comes behind.
422
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:12,370
So, he is not going to be the first. in hunting,
423
00:32:12,770 --> 00:32:19,450
but rather they lost. Yet may I by no means my
424
00:32:19,450 --> 00:32:23,490
wearied mind draw from the deer. Again he's asking
425
00:32:23,490 --> 00:32:27,750
question, do you think like I'm giving up because
426
00:32:27,750 --> 00:32:28,510
of no reasons?
427
00:32:32,310 --> 00:32:38,870
But as he fleeth afore, fainting I follow, I leave
428
00:32:38,870 --> 00:32:43,650
of therefore. Why is he leaving? I leave off
429
00:32:43,650 --> 00:32:50,350
therefore. Yeah, because she is, as you see here,
430
00:32:51,070 --> 00:32:53,870
he's following her and she's fleeing. He's
431
00:32:53,870 --> 00:32:56,710
following, you know, he's following her and she's
432
00:32:56,710 --> 00:33:00,450
fleeing. And because he, because of that, he what?
433
00:33:00,890 --> 00:33:07,130
He got tired and he decided, yes, to leave her.
434
00:33:08,190 --> 00:33:12,640
Now, in courtly love, In the traditional court
435
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:18,260
life, the poet is pleading because of the cruelty
436
00:33:18,260 --> 00:33:22,040
of the lady. And he continues to be miserable,
437
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:26,840
abject. But he never, you know, appears like to be
438
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,240
dignified here. Look at him. I leave them off
439
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,880
therefore. We might admire this and we say what a
440
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,770
dignified person he is. And perhaps this is
441
00:33:38,770 --> 00:33:44,710
something unique about the poetry of Sir Thomas
442
00:33:44,710 --> 00:33:47,910
Wyatt. I mean, the courtly love written by Sir
443
00:33:47,910 --> 00:33:51,430
Thomas Wyatt, because he was not like traditional
444
00:33:51,430 --> 00:33:55,810
courtly lover pleading without dignity. Here, as
445
00:33:55,810 --> 00:33:58,410
you see, he's taking a decision. He is a dignified
446
00:33:58,410 --> 00:34:02,430
person. And since a lady is like,
447
00:34:04,850 --> 00:34:09,390
not aware of his pain and she doesn't appreciate
448
00:34:09,390 --> 00:34:15,390
his love, he decided to leave off therefore. I
449
00:34:15,390 --> 00:34:21,170
leave off therefore. But look at fainting I
450
00:34:21,170 --> 00:34:25,030
follow. Here I cannot leave the poem without
451
00:34:25,030 --> 00:34:29,570
commenting a little bit about the alliteration
452
00:34:29,570 --> 00:34:35,750
here. Fainting I follow. Like, do you think this
453
00:34:35,750 --> 00:34:40,350
is a very nice alliteration? Does it fit with the
454
00:34:40,350 --> 00:34:44,950
atmosphere of somebody who is taking a decision
455
00:34:44,950 --> 00:34:47,930
and this decision is taking, you know, why?
456
00:34:48,050 --> 00:34:51,570
Because he's bored, he's not interested. Fainting,
457
00:34:51,850 --> 00:34:56,190
I fall. The if sound here, the repetition of the
458
00:34:56,190 --> 00:35:01,450
if sound shows what? His suffering, his disgust,
459
00:35:02,030 --> 00:35:07,490
fainting, I follow and I leave. Therefore, look at
460
00:35:07,490 --> 00:35:11,070
that. You know, these consonants are very strong.
461
00:35:11,650 --> 00:35:14,930
And again, these consonants have to do with his
462
00:35:14,930 --> 00:35:20,170
decision to quit, with his decision to leave.
463
00:35:21,550 --> 00:35:27,230
Since in a net, I seek to hold the money. Wow. I
464
00:35:27,230 --> 00:35:31,230
think this is self-explanatory. What a very
465
00:35:31,230 --> 00:35:34,850
frustrating image, isn't it? Like if somebody is
466
00:35:34,850 --> 00:35:39,550
trying to hold the wind in a net. How do you
467
00:35:39,550 --> 00:35:43,590
describe this effort? If somebody is trying to
468
00:35:43,590 --> 00:35:43,890
hold.
469
00:35:47,050 --> 00:35:51,050
It's a waste of time. Very disappointing. Very
470
00:35:51,050 --> 00:35:53,690
disappointing experience. Like somebody who is
471
00:35:53,690 --> 00:35:58,500
trying to hold the wind. What? In a net. So do you
472
00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:03,780
think it will be held? No. Okay. Since in a net, I
473
00:36:03,780 --> 00:36:10,240
seek to hold the wind. It's impossible. Who's next
474
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:16,180
to hunt? I put, you know, him out of doubt. This
475
00:36:16,180 --> 00:36:20,600
is the beginning of the system, the second part of
476
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:26,460
the poem. I put him out of a doubt, like the poet
477
00:36:26,460 --> 00:36:31,880
is in a position to advise other people. He's
478
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:37,760
sagacious, very wise, and he was made sagacious by
479
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:42,240
his own experience, as well as I may spend his
480
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:47,220
time in vain. So the poet's personal experience
481
00:36:47,220 --> 00:36:54,260
made him like in a position to advise other
482
00:36:54,260 --> 00:37:00,600
people. He is going to spend his time in vain and
483
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,540
graven with diamonds and letters plain, there is
484
00:37:04,540 --> 00:37:09,060
written her fair neck round about. I think this
485
00:37:09,060 --> 00:37:12,860
line has some indication about the beauty. Because
486
00:37:12,860 --> 00:37:15,040
you know, in courtly love, yes, as you mentioned,
487
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,980
the lady should be beautiful.
488
00:37:20,530 --> 00:37:25,230
There is written, what is written? Her fair neck
489
00:37:25,230 --> 00:37:31,230
round about, no limi tangere. Don't touch me. You
490
00:37:31,230 --> 00:37:35,170
know, this is like in Latin, no limi tangere for
491
00:37:35,170 --> 00:37:38,790
Caesar's ayat. And we understand who's Caesar.
492
00:37:39,590 --> 00:37:44,010
Who's Caesar? Henry. So we are having a poet who
493
00:37:44,010 --> 00:37:48,710
fell in love with the king you know, potential
494
00:37:48,710 --> 00:37:53,910
wife or potential mistress. And that, you know, is
495
00:37:53,910 --> 00:37:56,870
like very precarious, very dangerous. And perhaps
496
00:37:56,870 --> 00:38:01,370
you might have read that, you know, he was put in
497
00:38:01,370 --> 00:38:04,670
prison like because of this, you know, suspected
498
00:38:04,670 --> 00:38:07,510
relation. There was, you know, some suspicion that
499
00:38:07,510 --> 00:38:11,170
he was in relation, but there was no concrete
500
00:38:11,170 --> 00:38:14,850
evidence of that relation. So he was put in the
501
00:38:14,850 --> 00:38:18,740
tower, he was in prison. And Anne Boleyn herself,
502
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,560
who became the wife, was beheaded by the king.
503
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,540
She, you know, was executed by the king. Why?
504
00:38:26,620 --> 00:38:34,640
Because she was accused of adultery. And wild for
505
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,040
to hold though I seem tame. Yeah, it's a paradox.
506
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:44,520
How come you are wild and tame? You know? And this
507
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,990
paradox shows or reflects the nature, the elusive
508
00:38:48,990 --> 00:38:53,070
nature of that lady. So she's not attainable.
509
00:38:53,670 --> 00:38:57,910
She's very elusive. It is difficult to catch her.
510
00:38:58,630 --> 00:39:03,490
Now, today, like this is what I want to say today.
511
00:39:04,570 --> 00:39:08,670
We have not read the poem as, you know, what we
512
00:39:08,670 --> 00:39:12,720
said in the last lecture. So we talked a little
513
00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:15,980
bit about the atmosphere, the general context of
514
00:39:15,980 --> 00:39:19,540
the poem. Next time, we have to read to delve
515
00:39:19,540 --> 00:39:25,040
deeper into the aesthetics and to see how the poet
516
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:29,960
was successful or was not successful. So what you
517
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,320
have to do again is to look at the poem, to look
518
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,500
at, you know, the figures of speech, to look at
519
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:41,340
certain, to look at the tone, the attitude, and
520
00:39:41,340 --> 00:39:45,320
then We are going to talk about poetry by using
521
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:50,300
specialized language and general language. I hope
522
00:39:50,300 --> 00:39:55,600
that, you know, you enjoy listening. If not, like
523
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,520
you can complain. But do you have any question
524
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,680
like before? Or do you want to add anything? Yes?
525
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:09,110
No, the Petrarchian Sonnet. We're talking about
526
00:40:09,110 --> 00:40:12,150
Petrarchian Sonnet. The Petrarchian Sonnet
527
00:40:12,150 --> 00:40:19,770
consists only of two, yes, two parts. Now I think
528
00:40:19,770 --> 00:40:24,030
I left for you in the reader something about the
529
00:40:24,030 --> 00:40:29,090
sonnet, so you have to study like what is the
530
00:40:29,090 --> 00:40:31,490
Petrarchian Sonnet? You can read, what is the
531
00:40:31,490 --> 00:40:34,320
Petrarchian Sonnet? What is the Shakespearean
532
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,700
sonnet? How this sonnet was developed? And how it
533
00:40:38,700 --> 00:40:44,240
became or it assumed like a very British form?
534
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:50,300
Any other question? Thank you very much and see
535
00:40:50,300 --> 00:40:55,960
you next time for a new lecture on the same topic.
536
00:40:56,420 --> 00:40:56,800
Thank you.
