Visual Metaphor Proposal

 

 

1.   Project Title: 
2. Team Members:  Yina Li, Michelle Hua

III.  Concept | Storyline:

       1). Who are you going to interview? Or What is the piece (article, poem, story) for the narrative voice over?  

• There will come soft rains (6-9, 15-18, 24-27) + Spring in Wartime (1-5, 10-14, 19-23, 28-32)

1. I feel the Spring far off, far off,
2.      The faint far scent of bud and leaf—
3. Oh how can Spring take heart to come
4.      To a world in grief,
5.         Deep grief?
6. There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
7. And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
8. And frogs in the pools singing at night,
9. And wild plum-trees in tremulous white;
10. The sun turns north, the days grow long,
11.      Later the evening star grows bright—
12. How can the daylight linger on
13.      For men to fight,
14.         Still fight?
15. Robins will wear their feathery fire
16. Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
17. And not one will know of the war, not one
18. Will care at last when it is done.
19. The grass is waking in the ground,
20.      Soon it will rise and blow in waves—
21. How can it have the heart to sway
22.      Over the graves,
23.         New graves?
24. Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
25. If mankind perished utterly;
26. And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
27. Would scarcely know that we were gone.
28. Under the boughs where lovers walked
29.      The apple-blooms will shed their breath—
30. But what of all the lovers now
31.      Parted by death,
32.         Gray Death?
