Coming Suddenly By To The Big Apple After my English teacher assigned my class “Coming Suddenly To The Sea” by Louis Dudek. As Spring Break homework. I was not incredibly excited. To me, it was at first, just another poem exhausted with an adjective and a guy excited about finding seaweed. Definitely not what I wanted to reflect upon or relate to while on holiday. Besides, my family was going to New York! We had been planning our trip since autumn of the ear before and now, in March, we were finally going. I have always enjoyed traveling and being a small town girl, it is always exciting to visit a big city, especially one that you often see on film, or read about it in the books and magazines. Oh arriving at LaGaurdia airport by night, my …show more content…

There are not enough words or time in which to use them which could not accurately describe the intricate violence if the city we were experiencing. The Metropolitan Museum, The Empire State Building, The Guggenheim, Rockefeller Centre and Time Square were all duly admired by our tourist 's eyes. As well we took in the wonders of Central Park, Tiffany’s Soho, Wall Street. The Museum of Modern Art, and even Ground zero. This was amazing, I thought after cruising around the Statue’s of Liberty it actually real, not just a statue in a picture, it is really there. That is when I realized what an idiotic hypocrite I was. How could I in my right mind, laugh at Louis Dudek for holding seaweed, when I was excited about showing my friend my used Subway Metro Card? Immediately I felt embarrassed and somewhat foolish, almost ashamed. I realized how silly I and the family must look to the natives of New York, gawking and gasping ever the buildings and monuments they see every day. On coming to this thought I felt a close connection with Dudek’s poem “Coming Suddenly To The Sea” I pictured myself as Dudek and New York as the sea, my own “infant eyes” and “my emblem of the day”. In the piece, I saw a clear analogy o my visit to New York, and my-my life changing the

High romantic artists interpreted things through their own emotions, and these emotions included their social and political consciousness (Benz, “The Mystical Sources of German Romantic Philosophy”). Yet at the same time they withdrew more and more from the confining middle class’s bourgeoisie lifestyle. David Caspar Freidrich’s The Monk By The Sea, defines this divide between the romantic artist and his audience by foregoing traditional practices of perspective and space to communicate a political and spiritual message. Friedrich doesn’t paint a foreground, forcing the audience to look past the monk and focus on the ominous sea, which dwarfs the monk in size. The sea itself is a metaphor for the divine power of nature, and allows the audience to contemplate the natural world, and their place in it.
