| Popis: | 97 This thesis sets out as a continuance of the preceding studies on Gary Snyder’s works which center on the relationship between the flowing of tiny energies and food chains system. In Snyder’s point of view, the process is practiced while the energy is running and even one can capture it to be one’s own’s “tao.” The first chapter contours Snyderian food chains system based on his poems and digs out the moving energy within. In the food chains, everything supplies its own nutrition and also absorbs others’ and energy serves as the accelerant so as to make the whole system alive. Energy shifts itself from one to another and the power never quit transforming and delivering within the food chains. For exchanging, the content accomplishes the form and the power connects each object in the organization as well. The second chapter generates Snyderian initial power from each knot. In a sense, Snyder observes and performs his details and feels the running energy by Zen meditation in his daily life. He highlights the tiny energies that one perhaps ignores. The tiny power provides the fundamental energies for everything and Snyder streams them into his poems with sophisticated words. And one embarks on his/ her trajectory with the diminutive power and involves in nature, too. The third chapter further elucidates Snyder’s poems with “tao” idea. He assimilates the spiritual process and builds the bridge between energy and nature. “Tao” is digested from one’s understanding from nature if one is really merged with nature. Nature never disappears and paths always prevail as long as one/thing can recognize to be parted in the food chains. By inserting in the food chains system and retrieving the wee power around nature, Snyder develops his “tao.” We can understand Snyder’s “Taoism” by pondering his poems. The food chains are perchance multiplicity and complex but the energy never lets the structure lose its order. “Tao” comprehending comes from Snyder’s practices with nature and even one renews his/her “tao” with detail practices in daily life. |
