Robert Frost's "Nothing Gold Can Stay" a short poem that focuses on the concept of blossoming, of potentials met, & of the inevitable downfall or decay of these.
But what is the relation to this poem & #StayGold by #BTS?
"Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost (206), a poem which shows the ephemerality common to youth in nature, the early theological beginnings of man, & the passing of each day.
The word "gold" either suggests the early leaf which lacks sufficient chlorophyll to be completely green, or gold as in a golden age, an idealistic time in one's life, or perhaps even monetary, signifying the physical component of things...
The implied weight of this "gold," on which Frost focuses his entire poem, makes it more precious than what follows the initial blossoming of things in nature. The "hardest hue to hold" is implied to be the one hue, or quality desired the most to be kept. @BTS_twt#BTS#StayGold
Thus far in his poem, Frost has stated that the nature in which humans live and, by extension, the nature of human life begins at a point of great optimism in which all potentials represented by the flower's bud have met in the open blossom.
The poems ending is a philosophical statement. The conclusion draws from progressing meditation on early leaves in spring to the theological beginning of existence to the natural fall of dawn into a day.
Frost is not entirely pessimistic in his poem; he is saying that it is the "gold" in things which cannot last, their brightest, "hardest hue to hold." The potential of human life is only met once and not met again, according to the poem.
An educational thread about “Microaggressions: What are they? How can we respond?”
We hope this thread is an incentive for everyone to read more about the topics of microaggressions. As always, we encourage you all to do your own research and always seek further insights surrounding these discussions.
Some scholars argue that racism, sexism, homophobia, & other forms of discrimination are no longer as obvious as in the past. Instead, people may demonstrate their biases & prejudices in more subtle ways, otherwise known as 'microaggressions'.
"...the more impact one makes in the public eye, the more critics come out...to challenge that impact. However, regardless of what naysayers think, BTS have proven their importance on a 🌍 scale, & dismissing the Korean band will not change that." @BTS_twt bit.ly/33ZUmEW
"Despite these accomplishments showing how BTS have pushed through western gatekeepers, the group still faces xenophobia and microaggressions outside of South Korea."
"On a macro-level, @bts_twt have shown their importance. They broke into the 🌍 music industry, repeated their success, & are sought after to speak about 🌍 issues. Refusing to acknowledge that does not make the band any less important, +"
“Revenues from @BTS_twt activities account for just half our total revenues...We will help them grow as iconic artists, such as Rolling Stones or Metallica, who make 💵 from performing just once every couple of years.” -Han Park, Big Hit’s Investment & Strategy Head. #BTSResearch
"Big Hit has been building a business model to maximize profits even without its artists’ activities...The indirect participation events made up almost half of Big Hit’s revenue in the 1st quarter of this year, up from 31% in 2018."
"Big Hit believes it can generate a steady stream of revenue from BTS in many ways: through solo & smaller group performances; indirect participation through online concerts, mobile games & video content; as well as merchandise sales."
"I don't think artists lose mkt. value because of their age. U2 isn't young anymore, but it's not lost its value, has is it? When @BTS_twt reaches their 30s, it will be possible to deliver age-appropriate msgs. & provide inspiration. Even when you're in your 50s [&] after that."
"Zanybros was founded in 2001, by director Hong Wonki and videographer Kim Junhong. This company is now one of the most distinguished MV production companies in Korea."
"They have collaborated with a plethora of artists including BTS, GG, TVXQ & etc. for video production & attained international fame with their quality creations. So far, the pair has filmed nearly 1,500 videos."
