Scope and Contents

The image of this poem depicts 'Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile.' Wikipedia: The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle (originally named Place de l'Étoile), at the western end of the Champs-Élysées.[3] It should not be confused with a smaller arch, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, which stands west of the Louvre. The Arc de Triomphe (in English: "Triumphal Arch") honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

 Item
Identifier: CC-00589-603
Scope and Contents The author indicates that emblem books contained poems based upon religious texts that might be classified as Picture Poems today in terms of visual presentation, viz., an illustration with a poetic caption. The author demonstrates that Herbert's pattern poems were extensions of the Emblematic tradition. He also provides several other examples of Alter poems in the classic literature. According to others, the religious content is not a mandatory feature of emblem poems.The emblem poem depicted in this bibliographic citation was taken from Withers' "A Collection of Emblemes, Ancient and Moderne" (1635). "The picture shows a rural landscape in which the sun, with kindly countenance, is shooting its rays with an eye at its center. The text is about sight and the eye of contemplation as the human faculty that was especially created by God for its capacity to achieve direct contact with Him."
