POESIA Estados Unidos NATURALEZA BELLEZA ESTETICA This paper explores the intricate relationship between beauty and aesthetic experience in poetry, centring on R.W. Emerson’s The Rho dora. It argues that poetry is an act of meta morphosis, through which the poet returns to and becomes part of Nature, a dynamic process of becoming, a dramatization of the soul that animates it. The poet, attuned to this movement, places themselves with in Nature’s stream of wisdom and power, allowing beauty to emerge through poetic expression. Therefore, poetry is not merely composed and read; it is recited, sung, and proclaimed as a reaffirmation of life itself. The poet’s task is to bridge the sensual and the ineffable, expressing the infinite through symbols. Poetry combats intellect’s tendency toward abstraction, restoring the unity of experience by revealing that every end in Nature is a new beginning. In this way, poetry, like Nature, enlivens the intel lect and unveils truth. It neither detaches nor aggregates but instead operates with a vigilant integrity, mirroring the wholeness of Nature itself. Ultimately, poetry speaks of beauty, awakening the mind through its transformative power. 2025-09-29T21:19:18Z 2025-09-29T21:19:18Z 2025 Artículo 2545-2231 https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/20652 10.26881/kg.2025.1.05 eng Atribución-NoComercial-NoDerivada 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ application/pdf Sociedad Filosófica y Teológica de Pomerania Katro-teka Gdańska. 2025, 16(1)
