ESSAY ON: E. E. Cummings and Baudelaire's dog.

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: (3 pp) Baudelaire writes of a dog that was in love with its own feces, and disdained all those nice cover-up smells. Comparisons have been made with the public in general who disdains the experimental in the same way. What is happening is not obscene or even foul smelling, rather it is the dog is familiar with its own smells, and may even be content with them. When basic functions are described it - the dog - the public - has difficulty with change. Translating change into dog shit does take some getting used to - Baudelaire loved being graphic, and sometimes that takes getting used to as well. That same quality of foreign-ness can be applied to the work of poet, E.E. Cummings.
