But poetry is a temporal art, like music, O'Hara's first love.
Such careless terminology denies the very essence of music as a temporal art, which implies by definition the omnipresence of rhythm as "order in musical time".
In works of temporal art, each part develops or evolves into the next, each part being necessary to the succeeding part, so that if an earlier part were altered or deleted, all the subsequent parts would have to be altered in consequence.
Music and literature are both temporal arts, or arts of time.
As long ago as 1911, the Italian Ricciotto Canudo, considered the first film theoretician, saw cinema as "plastic art in motion", arguing that film synthesised the spatial arts (architecture, sculpture and painting) with the temporal arts (music and dance).
In temporal arts, the parts do not appear together before the audience but appear successively in time, the second moment not beginning until the first one has finished.
These arts are visual as well as verbal, and since they are not limited to one moment in time, as painting and sculpture are, they are temporal arts as well as spatial.
But what of arts that employ no words at all? Painting and sculpture, not being temporal arts, cannot depict action, and action is all-important in the representation of human character.
Temporal arts must be attended to in a certain order: it is impossible to hear the symphony played backward, or the drama, or the movie; even when technically it can be done (as in running a motion picture in reverse), the results usually are an aesthetic catastrophe.
We also show that the GAGamma algorithm provides enhanced flexibility and control (compared to the state of the art temporal encoding algorithms) within the design framework of the temporal encoding problem for fMRI, leading to better quality of spike-time data.
The objectives were to describe temporal trends in ART treatment delay and investigate factors associated with increased risk of delay since ART became available free-of-charge at the clinic.
