Question

discuss 'Arabia' as a modern poem with romantic imagination.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Walter de la Mare, the English poet, has written the poem, "Arabia". This poem has a spontaneous flare and nostalgic feelings that make it intrinsically a modern poem with romantic imagination.

Explanation:

The poem is almost a praisal for Saudi Arabia. The poet is nostalgic and romantic when he thinks of all the beautiful details of Arabia. It has a sense of spontaneous writing that reminds us of Wordsworth's,

"Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility."

This sense of tranquil recollections that are embedded in the lines of "Arabia" makes it more like a romantic poem. But certain elements like, 'stream of consciousness' that is inherently distinguishable in the discussed poem makes it a typical modern poem.
