I've tried to grasp the meanings of Clare's "taste". concentrating on 'Shadows of Taste'. 'The Pleasures of Spring'. 'To the Rural Muse', and other poems. I've also tried to research into his conceptions of "genius" and "fancy", for they are intimately related with "taste". "Taste" as the instinct to "choose for joy" is inherited by all living things, as well as the human mind. Nature's taste can be seen in nature's disorder. "Taste" in the human mind is the faculty to perceive and appreciate natural beauty and joy, and to see nature as the Garden of Eden. In the case of poets, "genius" or "a pleasing rapture of the mind" causes "taste" cooperating with "fancy" to see and value the images of natural things, to create poetic images from them, and to express them as "poesy". The man of science, too, capable of being in rapture, has "taste". His taste is the faculty to approach closely and watch the things of nature and inquire into their secrets. Enclosure, to Clare, is planned and executed by the "tasteless", destroying disorder of nature or " Nature's Eden", and it has ruined the harmonious relationship between Man and Nature. So Clare feels he has lost his Edenic vision, his "taste" and "perception", and therefore his poetic vision.}, pages = {27--44}, title = {Clareの'Shadows of Taste'をめぐって}, volume = {22(外国語・外国文学編)}, year = {1987}, yomi = {スズキ, レンイチ} }
