Somewhere i have never traveled

Why: I am choosing this poem because it is strong and has some emotional significance to me. There is very descriptive language that will translate well into spatial form. Phrases such as "silence" "enclose me" and "fragility" can start to illustrate a structure that would emphasize the emotions a reader would feel when he/she was experiencing the work. Since I am emotionally connected to this poem, I can very easily put myself into the scenario I am trying to produce, and visualize it throughout stages of development.

Interpretation: EE Cummings is clearly in love, or creating a person that is. it is unrequited love and one that has a strong bind on his emotions. One little look scares him into hiding. The thing he wants so badly, the thing that he has never experienced he does not understand. He knows not why he feels this way, but only that the desire is taking him over, as small stimuli invoke strong responses internally. He lives on the hope that one day this guy/girl will look his way, and perhaps want to be near to him.


The Road Not Taken

Why: This poem also contains much imagery that I feel could be translated into the three spatial dimensions. The poem clearly describes the paths. The writer uses many articulations of tones and imagery. As O read this poem, I become overwhelmed with feelings of vindication and relief. The words are powerful innately, so transferring that power into a structure would be straightforward.

Interpretation: I interpret this poem as Frost reminiscing on a decision he made in his life: one that he stewed over for some time before deciding. He chose the path that few others follow and he is thankful he did. But he is wasting time looking beck on the decision he made, as there is no way to either change it, or see what the other road would have given him. He is missing the path that is all around him.
