The Poetic language of John Keats in Mirror of Translation: “Ode on a Gracian Urn” in Focus
Keywords:
Language, Poetry, Translation, John Keats, Ode, Foregnization, DefamiliarizationAbstract
By reviewing a translation of the poem “Ode on a Gracian Urn” composed by John Keats, the present essay attempts to open a window to the lingual features in the poetic art of this English poet. In this interlingual transaction, that is conducted by employing the strategy of “forignization” or retaining the “forignness” of the source text, “defamiliarization” of the translated text is an extralingual aftereffect which will take shape during this translational transaction. In this pursuit, by selecting the “Ode on a Gracian Urn” that is itself an acclaimed poem in the sphere of English literature and also among John Keats’ celecrated odes, effort has been made to give a brighter visage of the what and how of employing the stylistic and aesthetic dexterity in the poetic language of this English poet.References
