윌리엄 칼로스 윌리엄즈의 작품에 나타난 재생 = Resurrection in William Carlos Williams’s Poems

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

When we talk about resurrection, we naturally think of religious concepts,whether they are those of Christianity or those of Buddhism. But in WilliamCarlos Williams, we need not put religious concepts on the resurrectionexpressed in his poems. It is sure that Williams’s thought of resurrection isconcerned with material, not with spirit.
In the poems we examined in this paper, his thought of resurrection ofmaterial is expressed repeatedly, but rebirth of spirit is not evident. All theexisting lives are visible representation of the invisible life-force and death isthe transformation of the visible into the invisible. Although life-force in natureexists always, sometimes it is visible and sometimes not. Only when it entersinto the material, for example, seeds, bushes etc, it becomes visible.
Williams seems to think that the nature’s life-force doesn’t change and thenature keeps its life-force inside itself until water in spring spurs the life-forcein natural objects to keep alive. Even though individual objects seem to liveand die, their life-force remains the same whether it comes to be visible orinvisible. When it comes to be visible, we call it a resurrection in William Carlos Williams’s works.
