Imagery

4. Figurative Language #2 (IMAGERY)
This is the time of year when almost every night the frail, illegal fire balloons appear. Climbing the mountain height, rising toward a saint still honored in these parts, the paper chambers flush and fill with light that comes and goes, like hearts Elizabeth Bishop; "The Armadillo (for Robert Lowell)"
Read the two stanzas aloud. What kind of imagery does Bishop use in these lines? How does the use of imagery contribute to the reader's understanding of the lines?
The image of the balloons rising and filling with light ends with a simile (like hearts). How is the effect of the simile different from that of the image?
Bishop uses primarily visual imagery in these lines. Imagery reveals both the function and the form of the fire balloons. The fire balloons occur at a certain time of the year (this time of year), probably associated with some holiday or ceremony. They area “frail” and “illegal”. When they are released, they rise toward the top of a mountain. In lines 7-8, the reader becomes fully involved in the scene because of specific imagery: “the paper chambers flush and fill with light/that comes and goes.” The visual imagery re-creates the sight and allows the reader to experience it. Providing details that re-create the experience.
The simile startles the reader and introduces an affective dimension to the scene. It reinforces the idea of the light’s “coming and going” with the auditory image of the heartbeat. In addition, .it intimates that hearts (in the sense of love and loyalty) come and go, echoing the visual image of the paper chambers.
