Abstract
This study is the epistemological mapping and meta-analysis of British-English poems in light of the theory of four elements, poetic imagination and phenomenology of images by Gaston Bachelard. Starting from the image of the air, which emphasizes the dynamism of the image among the four elements of water, fire, air and soil, the image of flying animals such as larks, seagulls, crows, hawks and eagles, the representative materials of the rise and fall of the air in poems are analyzed. By setting up indexes such as brightness and darkness, weightiness and lightness, past and present, dream and reality in each bird, the study discusses the level of images appearing in poetry and present their meanings, and tries to read new and macroscopic English poetry. What Bachelard sought is a feast and harmony of birds, sometimes dynamically and sometimes still, in various dichotomous indicators, resulting in the balance of the world and the poetry of love.
