* Ch. 4 "Imagery" Perrine's Poetry: pp.771 and following

Notes: 

Imagery: the representation through language of sense experience.

• sound (auditory)
• sight (visual)
• touch (tactile, kinesthetic/muscle, organic/internal)
• taste (gustatory)
• smell (olfactory)

What images does the author use? What does he/she focus on in a sensory way? How do the kinds of images the author puts in or leaves out reflect his/her style? Are they vibrant? Prominent? Plain? Images differ from detail in the degree to which they appeal to the senses. A farmer and a real estate developer would use different imagery to describe the same piece of land. Imagery would differ in a romantic vs. realistic description of the countryside.
