Abstract
The Romantic movement was, undoubtedly, one of the most
influential and comprehensive movements of all times. Although
one doesn't often admit so, there is a little of the romantic
in everyone, in some much more than in others. Fortunately,
or unfortunately, as it may be, the author of this paper on
Hart Crane is one of those individuals in whom more of the
romantic was instilled. Since the romantic possesses such a
keen sensibility, often his creative endeavors can be best
appreciated by another romantic. The author of this paper
does not pretend to possess a sensibility and imagination
nearly so sharp as his subject, Hart Crane. Crane was, indeed,
one of the most sensitive individuals of his time and ours;
his poetic sensibility can rarely be equaled. Nevertheless,
the author hopes to do Crane justice by presenting a thorough
discussion of his poetry, relating imagery, meter and structure
to the underlying theme of "tragic redemption". In order to
best accomplish this, two of the most controversial poems of
Crane have been selected and employed as the basis for the
author's discussion. Hopefully, this presentation will prove author's discussion. Hopefully, this presentation will prove of some enlightenment to the reader.
