Endocentric Demagogue

Poems

Plath's method of configurating any compound is judicative shown up in the exocentric device which led to high fertility of compound words in her poems-especially the five selected poems taken for the purpose of analysis. Introduction Compounding which is a combination of two or more words is very productive nowadays and it seems to be the most used word-formation process in some fields including technology, politics and literature-especially poetry.

Sylvia Plath

Snakecharmer

As the gods began one world, and man another, So the snakecharmer begins a snaky sphere With moon-eye, mouth-pipe, He pipes. Pipes green. Pipes water. Pipes water green until green waters waver With reedy lengths and necks and undulatings. And as his notes twine green, the green river Shapes its images around his sons. He pipes a place to stand on, but no rocks, No floor: a wave of flickering grass tongues Supports his foot. He pipes a world of snakes, Of sways and coilings, from the snake-rooted bottom Of his mind. And now nothing but snakes Is visible. The snake-scales have become Leaf, become eyelid; snake-bodies, bough, breast Of tree and human. And he within this snakedom Rules the writhings which make manifest His snakehood and his might with pliant tunes From his thin pipe. Out of this green nest As out of Eden's navel twist the lines Of snaky generations: let there be snakes! And snakes there were, are, will be--till yawns Consume this pipe and he tires of music And pipes the world back to the simple fabric Of snake-warp, snake-weft. Pipes the cloth of snakes To a melting of green waters, till no snake Shows its head, and those green waters back to Water, to green, to nothing like a snake. Puts up his pipe, and lids his moony eye.

Note:s at the edge of the deep end, one contemplates a poem made up entirely of invented endocentric compounds...brb...welp, no surprise to find Plath in
DeepEnd Endocentricity!...anyway, it's my double words in similar portmanteau dress...a hark back to the Aztec's, AmerIndians polysynthetic languages...aaand, I find in the aftermath of the beheading of Charles 1st of England in the 17th Century, an off again on again era for Crowns, I find John Milton took to task the Royalists over the word "demagogue"...the Royalist liked it, Milton disparaged it, calling it a "goblin word"...it's certainly a fit for certain historical, and current, figures...no one is above the law, or losing one's head over it, though a question: who or what is law?...brb...welp, that's a catch 22...it's expected one's loyalty is such that one will accept whatever decision, however legal or illegal, contraditictory, it may be...a GoblinLaw!
