Poet Wars: 1st Poet Dante Alighieri Background: //Aim:// //Dante's purpose for writing his many liturgy works was to talk about his religious views and his personal life through his literature. As said in// Inferno//, “Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost” (Alighieri 1). The quote is from the very beginning of the epic where he describes how he has come to where he is. The verse is a description of how he is at a dejected point in his life, searching for an answer to his problems. At that phase in his life, he had been exiled from Florence, his hometown and then had started his masterpiece the// Divine Comedy//. Another example of Dante writing about events in his life is in his work// La Vita Nuova//. In that story, Dante writes about his love with his wife Beatrice, showing how another one of his works was influenced by events in his life. The purposes of Dante’s poems were to show his views on the Catholic religion and how events in his life have affected him.//

//Audience:// //The audience of Dante Alighieri was the country of Italy and eventually many professors across the world that study literature. As stated on poets.org, “unlike the epic works that came before,// The Divine Comedy //was written in the vernacular Italian, instead of the more acceptable Latin or Greek” (“Dante Alighieri”). Dante’s poems were some of the first to be written in the local language, being open to a wider audience. Most poems had been written in Latin or Greek, but over time populations began to not learn those languages. This was especially the case for Italy during that time period when Dante wrote his poems, as there was a large conflict between the Guelphs and the Ghilbellines, leaving little time for studying languages. The broad population mostly only knew Italian, letting the entirety of Italy that could read be given the chance to withhold the poems of Dante. Dante’s audience was a large one for his poems as he had written in Italian, and every one that was literate in Italy could read his poem and many scholars across the world.//

//Historical: Dante’s has affected the world historically by influencing many artists through his works, especially //The Divine Comedy//. T. S. Eliot once said, “Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them, there is no third” (Eliot). The quote shows the effect Dante has had on poets, exhibiting the respect that the great poet had for the even greater Dante. Dante influenced not only the poets that were from Italy but also other poets from different continents, like Eliot and John Milton. According to poets.org, “ Dante is credited with inventing terza rima, composed of tercets woven into a linked rhyme scheme” (“Dante Alighieri”). That technique of that poetry influenced other famous poets, such as the well-known Italian poets Boccaccio and Petrarch. A large reason for why Dante is claimed to be one of the greatest poets of all time is because of how much he influenced other authors. Dante has affected the history of poems substantially through the work of his many great poems.//

//Cultural: Dante Alighieri affected the society of today by being one of the first poets to write the well-known language in their country. As said on an article on about.com, “He wrote most of his poetry in the Italian vernacular instead of Latin, a choice that would influence the entire course of western literary development” (“Dante Alighieri”). The quote shows the effect of Dante’s poems on how the world writes and reads poems. As previously stated, Dante was one of the first poets to write in the native language of his country instead of Greek or Latin. This led to other poets to write in their native language and to move away from Greek or Latin. In the present time, almost every single author in the entire world writes poems in the language of where they live. Instead of everyone having to learn one language, a book can be found in almost every single language. Books that were written in a original language can now be translated into many different languages so the person that lives in a certain country can read the book in their language. When Dante wrote// The Divine Comedy//, he would forever change the history of literature forever, back then and in the present day by being the first author to write poems in the language of the country he lived in. By doing that, now in the modern day culture, novels and poems are written in multiple languages for humans across the world to be able to read in the language they want.//

//2nd Poet:// //John Donne// //Background:// //SourceURL:file://localhost/Volumes/Empire/Users/wilsonj2/Documents/Poet%20wars-%20Dante.doc Aim: The purpose of John Donne’s writings was to describe his thoughts on religion and occurrences in society at the time. As said on poets.org, “Donne's personal relationship with religion was tumultuous and passionate, and at the center of much of his poetry” (“John Donne”). John wrote his poems to describe his relationship with his religion of catholicity and how the community of England conveyed with the Church of England. With many arguments happening about the difference of power between the Church and the royal family, John found subjects to write about. John discussed many topics of the Church in his poems, talking about many points of what the English society looked at. Also stated on poets.org, “Donne wrote most of his love lyrics, erotic verse, and some sacred poems in the 1590s” (“John Donne”). Another side of John Donne was that he wrote love poems as said by poets.org, showing that Donne could write on a number of different subjects. In latter stages of John’s life, John would write down his prayers when he suffered from illness and grew to an old age. John wrote on many different subjects throughout his life but always wrote about his connection with the Church of England. The reason John Donne wrote his works was to describe a number of subjects, but mainly his thoughts and relationship with his religion and how the society of England dealt with the Church of England.

Audience: The audience of John Donne’s works was a small community of people in England while Donne lived, but his main audience read his works during the twentieth century. As stated by A.J. Smith, “In Donne's own day his poetry was highly prized among the small circle of his admirers” (Smith). The quote shows how when Donne was alive and publishing his writings to the public, they did not make an immediate impact. His poems eventually got some attention after he died, influencing some English poets but during the 18 and 19th century his poems were not read often and were not popular. During the 20th century thought, Donne’s works gained popularity and a new audience many years after he wrote them. As said on a biography about John Donne, “In the first two decades of the twentieth century Donne's poetry was decisively rehabilitated” (Smith). John’s poems gained a tremendous rise in fame, being praised by many poets, such as William Butler Yeats. To this day, a decent number of scholars and critics read John’s poems to see the intensity of his work as a poet. The audience of Donne’s poems was a small community of readers around 30 years after John’s death and became popular again to a number of readers during the 1920’s to the 1930’s.

Historical: In history, the writings of John Donne have influenced other English poets and had also help create a term for the writers of that era, the Metaphysical poets. According to online-literature.com, “was the most outstanding of the English Metaphysical Poets” (“John Donne”). The quote shows that the works he had made were so influential and great for the time period he lived in that he is known as the greatest writer of his time. John’s works had a lasting effect on the community of readers in England a couple years after his death, his writings becoming popular and influencing other English poets. John Donne was credited from being not only a part of the era of Metaphysical poets but also the representative of that era of poets. Not only did John influence English poets made poems on his religion, changing what people thought of the church. He also made many prayers in his latter years, which were eventually popular giving new prayers to be known for the religion of Anglicanism. The works of John Donne influenced many English poets and created the thought that John was the main poet of the Metaphysical poets era.

3rd poet: Rumi Background: Aim: Rumi’s purpose for writing was to teach his knowledge of spirituality to his readers and to find a way for him to get over the death of his friend Shams. As said by Alan Williams, “Rumi is both a poet and a mystic, but he is a teacher first, trying to communicate what he knows to his audience” (“Jalal al-Din Rumi”). Rumi was a spiritual teacher during his life because of the death of his father, his father’s responsibility of head of a madrasah (spiritual learning community) was thrust upon Rumi. The job of teaching was given to Rumi were he would teach many studnets until his death. One day, Rumi’s life change forever, “In 1244, Rumi met Shams Tabriz, a dervish ‘God-man’ who had taken a vow of poverty. Their meeting is considered a central event in Rumi's life” (“Jalal al-Din Rumi”). The two remain friends and till Shams went missing and was never seen again, making Rumi mournful. After the event, Rumi started writing his poetry, starting with his work //Divan-e Shams-e Tabrizi//, known as one the greatest writings in the Persian literature. Rumi kept on making poetry in response to the death of his friend, but writing about many subjects of spirituality. Before the death of Rumi, he had written six collections of poems, all teaching about spirituality. The reason Rumi wrote his poems was to teach about spirituality to his readers and wrote in response to the death of his friend Shams.

Audience: The audience of Rumi’s poetry was mostly the Middle East but in the society today the poetry of Rumi is read across the world. According to Alexandra Marks, the Persian wordsmith has become the top-selling poet in the United States (Marks). The popularity of Rumi’s writing goes across the world and has been popular in numerous time periods. In the area where Rumi lived and wrote his poems, the Middle East, those who know how to read Persian read his poems often. Today, the poems of Rumi are still read in the Middle East, as Rumi’s works are the best poems to be created in the Middle East. Although Rumi’s writings were and are still popular in the Middle East, his poems are very popular in other countries such as the U.S. As of now, Rumi is the best selling poet in the United States despite being from modern day Afghanistan and from the 13 century. The fact that Rumi’s poems are out selling other English poets in their own country shows how great and influential Rumi’s poems were, being the best of the category of spirituality. The writings of Rumi have a immense audience, his works being very popular in the Middle East and also the U.S.

Historical: Rumi’s poetry has affected the world historically by influencing many poets and artists and because his poems were very spiritual, inspiring many Persian speakers. According to a bibliography on Rumi, “For many years, he had a great influence on Turkish literature. The popularity of his works inspired many artists, including Mohammad Reza Shajarian (Iran), Shahram Nazeri (Iran), Davood Azad (Iran) and Ustad Mohammad Hashem Cheshti (Afghanistan), to give classical interpretation for his poems” (“Rumi”). The greatness of Rumi and his poems have affected the world by giving beings across the world the opportunity to read poetry at its finest. The spirituality of Rumi’s poems was a one of a kind feel, a mastered trait of liturgy that none have perfected as well as Rumi. The writings of Rumi had an immense effect upon their creation, teaching many individuals about spirituality.

Cultural: The works of Rumi have affected the religion of Islam in a tremendous way were the religion of Islan is it is now, partially because of Rumi. As said on poets.org, “Rumi described the //Masnavi// as "the roots of the roots of the roots of the (Islamic) Religion," and the text has come to be regarded by some Sufis as the Persian-language Koran” (Jalal al-Din Rumi). The quote shows the effect that Rumi’s poems have had on the religion of Islam, affecting the followers of that religion in modern day society. Rumi had stated in the quote that he believed that his own poems are some of the early pieces writing for the religion of Islam. The poems that Rumi made taught of spirituality about the world and the religion of Islam, being read by many in the Middle East and believers in Islam. The excellence of Rumi’s writings affect many of those beings in the Middle East, creating a desire for Rumi’s poems and making Rumi a large part of the Islamic community and of the Middle East, especially among Persian speakers.

Song Lyrics: Once upon a time you dressed so fine
 * "Like A Rolling Stone"**

You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you ?

People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"

You thought they were all kiddin' you

You used to laugh about

Everybody that was hangin' out

Now you don't talk so loud

Now you don't seem so proud

About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel

How does it feel

To be without a home

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone ?

You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely

But you know you only used to get juiced in it

And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street

And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it

You said you'd never compromise

With the mystery tramp, but know you realize

He's not selling any alibis

As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes

And say do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel

How does it feel

To be on your own

With no direction home

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone ?

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns

When they all come down and did tricks for you

You never understood that it ain't no good

You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you

You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat

Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat

Ain't it hard when you discover that

He really wasn't where it's at

After he took from you everything he could steal.

How does it feel

How does it feel

To be on your own

With no direction home

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone ?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people

They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made

Exchanging all precious gifts

But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe

You used to be so amused

At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used

Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse

When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose

You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

How does it feel

How does it feel

To be on your own

With no direction home

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone ?

Song Lyrics: Money, get away
 * "Money"**

Get a good job with more pay and your O.K.

Money it's a gas

Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash

New car, caviar, four star daydream,

Think I'll buy me a football team

Money get back

I'm all right Jack keep your hands off my stack.

Money it's a hit

Don't give me that do goody good bullshit

I'm in the hi-fidelity first class traveling set

And I think I need a Lear jet

Money it's a crime

Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie

Money so they say

Is the root of all evil today

But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're

giving none away

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"

"Yes, absolutely in the right!"

"I certainly was in the right!"

"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!"

"Yeah!"

"Why does anyone do anything?"

"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"

"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking

why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and

screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.

It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"



Song Lyrics: The piercing radiant moon,
 * "Spiders"**

The storming of poor June,

All the life running through her hair,

Approaching guiding light,

Our shallow years in fright,

Dreams are made winding through my head,

Through my head,

Before you know,

Awake,

Your lives are open wide,

The V-chip gives them sight,

All the life running through her hair,

The spiders all in tune,

The evening of the moon,

Dreams are made winding through my head,

Through my head,

Before you know,

Awake

Through my head,

Before you know,

Before you know I will be waiting all awake,

Dreams are made winding through her hair,

Dreams are made winding through her hair.
