Abstract: The 'Psychology' and 'Poetry' are two different fields. It is not easy to compare the two. Although they cannot be compared, but there is a close connection which undoubtedly exist between them. This connection arises from the fact that the practice of the art is a psychological activity and as such can be approached from a psychological angel. Considered in this light, art like any other human activity deriving from psychic motives is a proper subject for psychology. Art by its very nature is not science, and science by its very nature is not art, both these spheres of the mind have something in reserve that is peculiar to them and can be explained only in its own terms. Hence when we speak of the relation of psychology to art, we shall treat only of that aspect of art which can be submitted to psychological scrutiny without violating its nature

Abstract: Ancestral eternity in Walker's fiction undeniably opens a gateway to wisdom and cultural connectivity. Manifestations of infinite existence include Supreme Being directing the present generation to live in coordination and harmony. Ancient presence not only helps to resolve complex issues but also constructs a sublime identity where past and present is well assimilated. The concept of ancestry in Walker's fiction thus retains ambivalent relevance of African values and embodies continuous flow of cultural ethos. Ancestral presence in Walker's The Temple of My Familiar operates through the memory of Lissie, the protagonist who travels a world of endlessness, where animals and human beings cohabited in harmony. However, when the world today is torn with cut throat competition, materialism, malice and envy, such ideal living is of utmost importance. This mode of establishing values through ancestral eminence is innovative and also adds aesthetic beauty to presentation.
