Abstract: | Ginsberg'sHowlhas mysticism asit combines the eccentric way of life as in the mysticisms ofChristianity, William Blake and Zen Buddhism. The celebration of freedom of life, innocence and enlightenment through the visionary perceptions of human world as mentioned in these mysticisms have been quite iconoclastically embroidered in the poem to represent the revolutionary flavor against the conservatism that developed in America after the Second World War and during the Cold War. Human life is to be celebrated and enjoyed as the mystic exposures in the poem like inhaling drugs and alcohol, involvingin homosexuality, enjoying public nudism etc. celebrateeccentric way of lifethroughvivid examples of mysticism. The celebration is likethe unique norms of monks and parsonswhocelebrate the life in their own wayas per the standard of religious rules.Certainly, the overflow of freedom of self expression to attain themysticvision without taking care of social restrictions must be a part of mysticism inHowl. |
