I am reading this beautiful piece of European literature by Wolfgang Goethe because as a fairy tale "prose-poem" it is one of the best examples of imaginative writing. Another is The Apprentices of Sais by Novalis, from the same period as Goethe.
The first Posts on this Blog were devoted to the value of moulding and radiating clear imaginative picture images before and when speaking. And I said then I would be using The Green Snake and The Beautiful Lily to help. So here it is!
This image forming should be like a continually flowing stream with even waves, bringing variation into this even flow. Seeking to represent a prose-poem orally in this way is finding the soul of language.
I am not presenting myself as a master in this at all - just someone who wants to point this out and do my best in this subtle art form.
I will weave speaking this prose-poem between the Posts on the consonantal sounds.
