The Mechanism of Beauty in Withered Petals of Mushtaque Barq


The Mechanism of Beauty
It is uneasy to touch the human depth, but the penetrating poetry can do it. Mushtaque Barq; the Kashmiri poet is one of the poets whose poems can touch our deep internal. This very delicate field in the human experience; I mean the feelings touching cannot occur without a very special artistic elements in the charming creatures. The aesthetic system of these affecting elements we called "the mechanism of beauty."Here, we will seek the aesthetic elements of the mechanism of beauty system in"Withered Petals"; Mushtaque Barq poetry collection.



The Aesthetic Response
Although everything in the aesthetic response can be explained with textual elements in it broad term; I mean the pretextual , the textual and the post- textual (Anwar Jaber, The Literary Expression, 2017), but that aesthetic response is very complex. The aesthetic response is simply that special emotional experience which occurs in front of the aesthetic creature.



The Primitive and Developed aesthetic response.
The aesthetic response has a very simple and primitive state which is a shared and universal experience. This primary aesthetic response is the very true sign of beauty in a text but in addition to that experience there is a very developed response. While the primitive response need nothing but the clear sense, the developed secondary response need learning and training. There are no cultural differences in the primitive aesthetic response but that difference is obvious in the developed aesthetic response. The developed response is the area of the differences and conflicts. So the difference between readers level affects the develop aesthetic experience and not the primitive one. The first step towards the transfigured aesthetic response is the reader attraction where the reader finds himself as a part in the poem, then the poem will transform from the isolated external thing to a very special and specific thing in regard to the reader. In fact The degree of response proportionates with degree of reader engagement in the text (Anwar Jaber, The Literary Expression, 2017).



The Aesthetic Factors
The aesthetic response towards an artistry piece needs triggers and these triggers can b
be superficial and deep and can be textual and paratextual but the most important factor is the central presence of the reader in this complex system. Every aesthetic factor should have the ability to enhance the intermediate factors between the aesthetic elements and the emotional responder of our souls. These intermediate factors are in part material and in the other site spiritual and emotional (Anwar Jaber, The Literary Expression, 2017). So we have four aspects to deal with in our attempt to discover the lands of aesthetic response towards the poems of "Wethered Petals"



The Superficial aesthetic factors
The textual aesthetic factors
The Deep aesthetic Factors
The paratextual aesthetic factors



The Superficial aesthetic factors
One of the most important factors in poetry which has a big effect on the reader is the whispering disclosure where the author expresses his message on a very delicate and wavy wings. In the “Prolonged Tussle” (page 9), Mushatque expresses his disclosure with very delicate whisper where he says:
How this sea is tossing the veils
Like kohl in her wide open eyes
To bring night back after sunrise,
Forests stand on queues, birds on boughs
Her stare is killing, so her side glances.”
In these fine piece we find the very smooth description with very lovely whispered disclosure.



The Deep aesthetic Factors
The poet is the writer who can use the mirrors to express his internal. In fact poetry is a mirror and the author souls is a very faint shadow of the deep world of this sorcery mirror. The deep emotional transfiguration is a very artistic expressive experience where the reader finds himself and shares the poet his feelings and it make the bridge towards the very potent and long aesthetic response.
In Mustaque poem “Under the Maple tree” (page 18), we find the deep emotional transfiguration where the reader feels the true, warm and expressive world. In this poem the poet says:



Under the glum shade of maple
Few leaves of lost love prostrated.
Pasted touches of talcum
To handover much pain painly
Pasted touches of talcum
Soft and silky over my cheeks
And my heart cried mercilessly
Like fallen leaves under jack boots



This effective piece makes the reader sees the deep psychological wold, and the naked soul of the author and by its very touching strokes make the readers lives the moments and this is the aim of the narrative poetry.



The textual aesthetic factors
In the “Prolonged Tussle” (page 9), Mushatque colored his poem with special lexical mood.



How this sea is tossing the veils
Like kohl in her wide open eyes
To bring night back after sunrise,
Forests stand on queues, birds on boughs
Her stare is killing, so her side glances”



The words; The words; “sea, tossing, veils, kohl, wide,eyes,bring, sunrise, forests, stand, queues, birds, boughs, stare, glance”; these words, which are, descend from the positive, celebrating, and appreciation classes colored the text with their fragrance. A second textual affecting tool here is the expressive phrases like “is tossing the veil”, “to bring the night” , “forests stand on queues” and “her stare is killing.”



The paratextual aesthetic factors



Poetry is beautiful not just by its ideas and craft but there is a very deep artistry factor which is the traveling between the aesthetic fields and this represents the paratextual aesthetic factors.Poetry is beautiful not just by its ideas and craft but there is a very deep artistry factor which is the traveling between the aesthetic fields and this represents the paratextual aesthetic factors. In fact ever words has an emotional weight and the artist sees that emotional aspect and not the linguistic meaning so when he makes his metaphoric piece, in fact he notes these emotions and not the meaning. By this artistic process the reader finds himself travelled between the emotions lands. In Mustaque poem “Under the Maple tree”( page 18), the readers has a trip between the fields of the described emotions where the poet says:



Under the glum shade of maple
Few leaves of lost love prostrated
Like autumn leaves before the turf
To handover much pain painly
Pasted touches of talcum
Soft and silky over my cheeks
And my heart cried mercilessly
Like fallen leaves under jack boots”



In the piece, every word and every attribute have its unique emotional color, and the time of speech makes the text as a river where the reader has an emotional boat and the author is the boatman. In this system, the emotional directors have a very important role, where they guide the reader to the charming lands of beauty(Anwar Jaber, The literary expression, 2017). You can see “glum“ in “ “the glum shade of maple, and“ few leave and “lost love ' in “Few leaves of lost love prostrated”, and “before the turf”in “Like autumn leaves before the turf”and “painly” in “To handover much pain painly and so on. These central words don't just meaning directors; but they are emotional directors also.
