- W1006501362 abstract "tremendous force of analogy, with which Henry aims achievedconfrontation of fissured aspects of personality and of culturein the depths of the house, of the past, of that mystical otherworld that might have flourished, is conspicuous in the poetryof Edwin Arlington Robinson. It is more than the mere dynamicof image-making, which characterises much poetry of the presentage. It is infused in Robinson's attitude to life, hispsychological realism, his implied values, and his primarysymbols. Like the sailor in Lost Anchors, the poet made ofhis 'legend' 'a manifest Analogy.' (p.578)The Robinsonian Analogy is predominantly psychologicalstructure proportioned according to the poet's main interest -human nature - and essential aim - inferential disclosure ofinner realities. It is dark in which the occupantslive and die psychic lives and psychic deaths. It is not unlikeJames' house on the jolly corner, the archetypal analogy ofman and of which Spencer Brydon, the central character inThe jolly Corner, becomes so acutely aware in the time of hisspiritual crisis: The quaint analogy quite hauntingly remained with him,when he didn't indeed rather improve it by stillintenser form : that of his opening door behind whichhe would have made sure of finding nothing, door intoa room shuttered and void, and yet so coming, with agreat suppressed start, on some quite erect confrontingpresence, something planted in the middle of the placeand facing him through the dusk.The symbolism and the alter-ego situation depictedin The jolly Corner are comparable to Robinsan's poeticpostulates, the significance of which are more clearly perceivedin terms of psychological analogies.Psychoanalysis has drawn attention to the ontogenetic andphylogenetic significance of symbolism. James and Robinsonfound the symbol to be convenient means of expressing psychicdilemma and of depicting, in plausible images, aspects of theunconscious life. A man wanders through the darkness of hishouse, opening and closing mortal', 'inner', 'wrong' or 'forgotten'doors (as the poet variously describes them), in quest of identity,in search of his soul. 'This treacherous and imperfect houseof man' (p.1028), the poet describes him on one occasion. Hemay be, like Brydon, on the threshold of self—realisation or,like Avon in Avon' s Harvest, on the edge of doom. He may, likeNightingale in Glory of the Nightingales, erect pretentiousmansion on foundation of evil and guilt ; or, like Bartholowin Roman Bartholow, finally escape his 'ancestral prison'. Mere are still some gods to please,And houses are built without hands, we're told. (p.48)Penn-Raven tells Bartholow that his dreams have taken himfar from home (p.819) ; gives the example of man, whoSure that his that was not made with handsWas built forever, was too sure to see; (p.820)and later observes that Negation is careless architect. (p.826)Matthias heeds similar warnings of his own inner voice,actually projection phantasy, and at the end prepares torestore the 'tower' of 'self'. Be learns, like Brydon, that:the development of personality moans more than the mere fearof bringing monsters into the world, or the fear of isolation.It also means fidelity to the law of one's being.The more mature of Robinson 's characters share Brydonlspsychologically prodigious journey and experience a sensationmore complex than had ever before found itself consistent withsanity, while the more unhappy representatives of humanpsychology, of whom Avon is the most conclusive example, aredestroyed in the of personality...the stranger, whoever he might be, evil, odious, blatant,vulgar, had advanced as for aggression, and he knewhimself give ground.. Then harder pressed still, sickwith the force of his shock, and falling back as under thehot breath and the roused passion of life largerthan his own, rage of personality before whichhis own collapsed, he felt the whole visionturn to darkness and his very feet give way. vision turned to darkness, the struggle upward for thelight, in the 'buried' rooms of the dark ... such isthe psychology, such the parable, such the 'manifest Analogy',of Edwin Arlington Robinson's poetry." @default.
