Hopefully, the adaptation will give them a new, fresh perspective and bring the joy of infinite and simple things into their lives again. Both poems provide an entrance to an alternate way of thinking, which will provide them food for thought that may alter their condition for the better. The volumes of information that they intake can make them unstable. Generally, adults tend to have a much clearer picture of what is happening in the world, and therefore, they are aware of all the gloomy statistics. The target audience for this visual adaptation will be adults and people with depression.
I believe I will excel in translating a verbal art form into a visual one – it is my natural talent to perceive ideas visually.
Drawing, painting, and generally expressing myself via visual arts is a passion of mine. Undoubtedly, my role in the adaptation will be that of an artist. While it is all, majorly, occurs because of the lack of broader, philosophical aspects of life in people’s consciousness. These concepts are not usually prioritized in modern society, the results of which often show themselves in the form of high rates of depression and suicidal tendencies. This is why the image of Nightingale will be the focus of my adaptation – it symbolizes the idea of something immortal, infinite, and beautiful, - probably, Nature itself, even, or –Time.
At this moment, greater wisdom reveals itself – one that would prove to be especially helpful in difficult situations – to have the capacity to accept the loss and move on. Despite this, in the end, he accepts the fact that it flew away. He reveres this bird, saying that “Thou wast not born for death!” (Keats). The imagery is much more complex and multi-layered, with Keats weaving long strands of epithets, talking about the Nightingale and its immortality, as well as its kinship with himself. Ode to Nightingale, however, exhibits a different, and clearly, more complex interpretation of personal freedom through intent observation. This way, the imagery of the rainbow is central to my piece – emphasizing how beautiful it is, that no matter whether it is a little boy or an old man who observes it – imminently, it brings joy to all. This is exactly what humans lack in today’s situation – the source of simple joy in life perhaps, this sort of joy serves as the only remedy to the disquieting, anxiety-inducing times. In the poem, Wordsworth describes the feeling that the sight of the rainbow inspires, serves as constant in his life, “so is it now I am a man so be it when I shall grow old” (Wordsworth). For instance, in My Heart Leaps Up, Wordsworth uses minimalistic imagery and describes such a simple concept – a feeling from observing a natural phenomenon – a rainbow. The only way that this is possible to accomplish is through exhibiting core symbols in the poetic works. My choice of medium will be drawing – I hope to translate the verbal art of poetry into visual imagery.
