英文诗歌分析全文Lamb、tyger、rose

英文诗歌分析全文Lamb、tyger、rose

The lamb1 "The Lamb" is a poem by William Blake, published in Songs of Innocence in 1789. Like many of Blake's works, the poem is about Christianity. The whole collection is pervaded with a breath of simplicity and fancy.Poetic structure1rhyme scheme: AA BB CC DD AA AA EF GG FE AA“The Lamb” has two stanzas, each containing five rhymed couplets.2 The layout is set up by two stanzas with the refrain: "Little Lamb who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?"In the first stanza, the speaker wonders who the lamb's creator is; the answer lies at the end of the poem. Here we find a physical description of the lamb, seen as a pure and gentle creature. In the second stanza, the lamb is compared with the infant Jesus, as well as between the lamb and the speaker's soul. In the last two lines the speaker identifies the creator: God.Rhetorical devices1 The poem begins with the question, “Little Lamb, who made thee?” The speaker, a child, asks the lamb about its origins: how it came into being, how it acquired its particular manner of feeding, its “clothing” of wool, its “tender voice.”2 In the next stanza, the speaker attempts a riddling answer to his own question: the lamb was made by one who “calls himself a Lamb,” one who resembles in his gentleness both the child and the lamb.Repetition in the first and last couplet of each stanza makes these lines into a refrain, and helps to give the poem its song-like quality. The flowing soft vowel sounds contribute to this effect, and also suggest th e bleating of a lamb or the lisping character of a child’s chant.Theme1 The lamb is a common metaphor for Jesus Christ, who is also called the "The Lamb of God"2 Blake in the songs of innocence,with childish life's point of view,shows a full of love and kindness, compassion and happy world. The poem has just 20 lines, but depicts the character of gentleness vividly.3 The poet’s description about the lamb’s kindness and gentleness, aims to express their feeling of life and nature, and the yearning for the universe and harmonious understanding.4 He not only sings praise of gentle lamb, but also the mystical power that can create the lamb. Here the God, Jesus and the Lamb are just the one thing.The TygerTyger! ︳Tyger! ︳burning ︳ brightIn the ︳ forests ︳of the ︳night,What im ︳mortal ︳hand or ︳eyeCould ︳frame thy ︳ fearful ︳symmetry?Analysis: In the this verse, the author compares the fierceness of a tiger to a burning presence in dark forests. He wonders what immortal power could create such a fearful beast.*Line 1 is an example of synecdoche(提喻), a literary device used when a part represents the whole or the whole represents a part. In line 1 "Tyger! Tyger! burning bright" alludes to the predator's eyes.In what ︳ distant ︳deeps or ︳skiesBurnt the ︳ fire of ︳ thine eyes?On what ︳wings dare ︳he as ︳pireWhat the ︳hand, dare ︳seize the ︳ fire?Analysis: Here the poet compares the burning eyes of the tiger to distant fire that only someone with wings could reach. The poet wonders where such a powerful fire could have comeAnd what ︳shoulder, ︳and what ︳art,Could ︳twist the ︳sinews ︳ of thy ︳ heartAnd when ︳ thy heart ︳began to ︳beat,What dread ︳hand?and ︳what dread ︳ feet?Analysis: In the third stanza we have a metaphor giving us a vision a skillful and powerful blacksmith creating the tiger's beating heart awakening a powerful beast.The phrase “...twist the sinews of thy heart" is also an allusion to a hardheartedness that a beast of prey must have towards the creatures it kills.What the︳ hammer?︳ what the ︳ chain?In what︳ furnace︳ was thy ︳ brain?What the︳ anvil?︳ what dread ︳ graspDare its ︳ deadly ︳ terrors ︳ clasp?Analysis: This verse continues the allusion to a creator, who, having made the fearsome beast, must confront with the sheer terror of a tiger's natureWhen the ︳ stars threw ︳ down their ︳ spears,And wa ︳ter’d hea ︳ven with ︳ their tears,Did he ︳smile his ︳ work to ︳see?Did he ︳ who made ︳the Lamb ︳make thee?Analysis: In the fifth stanza,the author, with beautiful rhetoric (personification),describes a marvelous creation process likening starlight to a symbolic destructive process.The author wonders whether the creator of the fierce and predatory tiger could make the docile, gentle lamb. He sees a conflict between the creation of heartless, burning predator and its potential victim, the lamb.Tyger! ︳Tyger! ︳burning ︳brightIn the ︳ forests ︳of the ︳ nightWhat im ︳mortal ︳hand or ︳eyeDare ︳ frame thy ︳fearful ︳symmetry?Analysis: The final verse is but a reprise, almost a chorus. It serves the purpose of repeating the wondrous question of the tiger's creation and gives the reader another chance to enjoy the rhetorical and already answered question, "What immortal hand or eye?"The answer lies in the reader's interpretation of creation: Did God create the fearsome along with the gentle? Why does He allow the tiger to burn in the dark forest, while the lamb gambols in the glen under the stars of that very creation? The author leaves it up to the reader to decide. The important thing is the question, not the answer.Background information: The Tyger" is a poem by the English poet William Blake. It was published as part of his collection Songs of Experience in 1794. The Cambridge Companion to William Blake (2003) calls it "the most anthologized poem in English."解析题目:His choice of "tyger" has usually been interpreted as being for effect, perhaps to render an "exotic or alien quality of the beast", or because it's not really about a "tiger" at all, but a metaphor.The Meter: trochee tetrameter. (the poem is in trochaic tetrameter)The poem is comprised of six quatrains (A quatrain is a four-line stanza) in rhymed couplets. The Rhyme Scheme:aa bb with a near rhyme(近似韵)ending the first and last stanzas, drawing attention to the tiger's "fearful symmetry."Rhetorical devices1 Repetition of "Tyger" in line 1, "dare" in lines 7 & 8, "heart" in lines 10 & 11, "what" in lines12, 13, & 15, "Did he" in lines 19-20, and several repeats in stanzas 1 &2 establish the poem's nursery rhyme like rhythm.2Alliteration in "The Tyger" abounds and helps create a sing-song rhythm. Examples include the following:"b urning b right" (1) "f rame thy f earful (4) "d istant d eeps" (5) "w hat w ings" (7) "b egan to b eat" (11) "d are its d eadly" (16) "h e wh o" (20)3 Symbolism:(1) the tiger represents the dangers of mortality; (powerful force with terror, mystery and violence eg: fearful symmetry, dread hand, obscure in symbolic meaning)(2)the fire imagery symbolizes trials(3) the forest of the night represents unknown realms or challenges;(4) the blacksmith represents the Creator;(5) the fearful symmetry symbolizes the existence of both good and evil, the knowledge that there is opposition in all things, a rather fearful symmetry indeed.* SymbolsThe Lamb: GodDistant Deeps: HellThe Tiger: Evil (or Satan)Skies: Heaven4Metaphor: Compare the tiger’s eyes to fire.5 Anaphora: Repetition of what at the beginning of sentences or clauses. (首语重复法) Example: What dread hand and what dread feet? / What the hammer? what the chain?ThemeThe poem is more about the creator of the tiger than it is about the tiger itself. The poet was at a loss to explain how the same God who made the lamb could make the tiger. So, the theme is: humans are incapable of fully understanding the mind of God and the mystery of his handiwork.COMPARISON between the lamb and the tyger1 "The Tyger" is the sister poem to “The Lamb" “Songs of Innocence”, a reflection of similar ideas from a different perspective, but it focuses more on goodness than evil.2 Both are creation poems3 Structure of the “The Lamb” is more obviously singular when compared with the complexity of “The Tiger,” whose complexity is achieved through layered questions without answers, while the Lamb poses a simple, singular question and then directly answers it.The sick roseO Rose, thou art sick. 啊玫瑰你病了The invisible worm 那看不见的虫That flies in the night 在夜里飞翔In the howling storm 在呼啸的暴风雨中Has found out thy bed 发现了你深红色Of crimson joy, 快活的床And his dark secret love 他黑色的秘恋Does thy life destroy. 摧毁了你我的生命Analysisrhyme scheme: abcb (2 quatrains or 2 stanzas)images: rose, worm, storm, bed1 Line 1: The form of address—"O rose"—is called an apostrophe. The rose here could be a metaphor for love or passion2 Line 2-3: "Invisible" might be a metaphor for the worm's quiet act of destruction.3 Line 4: The speaker mentions a "howling storm," which gives the poem a more ominous tone. "Howling" reminds us of dogs or wolves; the sounds of those animals are here a metaphor for the storm4 Line 5-6: "Bed" might refer to a plot of ground in which the rose is growing, which it's not a literal bed with pillows, but a metaphor for the plot of ground. Or bed can refer to the rose's petals, which is a place where insects rest or sleep. In addition, the worm manages to worm his way into the rose's bed, which suggests some kind of sexual act.5 Lines 7-8: The speaker describes how the worm "destroys" the rose with his "dark secret love." It is an example of personification, where human characteristics or emotions (love) are attributed to non-human things (namely the worm).The Rose The rose exists as a beautiful object that has become infected by a worm; also as aliterary rose, the conventional symbol of love. It symbolizes innocence, nature and even pre-industrial England fall under this more encompassing category. The speaker opens by apostrophizing the rose, immediately setting a tone of despair that is intensified by the epithet of “sick”. The rose resides in a “bed”, which is a pun denoting both a flower bed and a human one. The sexual undertones are elevated by the evocation of “crimson joy”, which is almost paradox as the said color is distinctly sinister, often used to describe the appearance of blood and therefore tying into the poem’s suggestions of death. A literal death is not suggested, however, but a figurative one, as the rose's life is irreparably "destroy[ed]"The Worm The worm, meanwhile, symbolizes the destruction of this unspoiled state, its appearance evoking biblical images of the serpent in Eden. Worms are usually earthbound, and symbolize death and decay, therefore suggesting that it symbolizes something more sinister than death - in this case, the fall of mankind. The “bed” into which the worm creeps denotes both the nat ural flowerbed and also the lovers’ bed. The rose is sick, and the poem implies that love is sick as well, and it can also refer to the moral corruption. The “crimson joy” and the “dark secret love” imply both sexual pleasure and shame, which Blake thought was perverted and unhealthy.。

【精品】美国文学浪漫主义时期

【关键字】精品美国文学浪漫主义时期浪漫主义时期开始于十八世纪末,到内战爆发为止,是美国文学史上最重要的时期。

华盛顿·欧文出版的《见闻札记》标志着美国文学的开端,惠特曼的《草叶集》是浪漫主义时期文学的压卷之作。

浪漫主义时期的文学是美国文学的繁荣时期,所以也称为"美国的文艺复兴。

"美国社会的发展哺育了"一个伟大民族的文学"。

年轻的美国没有历史的沉重包袱,很快在政治、经济和文化方面成长为一个独立的国家。

这一时期也是美国历史上西部扩张时期,到1860年领土已开拓到太平洋西岸。

到十九世纪中叶,美国已由原来的十三个州扩大到二十一个州,人口从1790年的四百万增至1860年的三千万。

在经济上,年轻的美国经历向工业的转化,影响所及不仅仅是城市,而且也包括农村。

蒸汽动力在工、农业生产上的运用、工厂的建立、劳动力的大量需求以及科技上的发明创造使经济生活得到了重组。

另外,大量移民促进了工业更加蓬勃的发展。

政治上,民主与平等成为这个年轻国家的理想,产生了两党制。

值得一提的是这个国家的文学和文化生活。

随着独立的美国政府的成立,美国人民已感到需要有美国文学,表达美国人民所特有的经历:早期清教徒的殖民,与印第安人的遭遇,边疆开发者的生活以及西部荒原等。

这个年轻国家的文学富有想象,已产生了一种文学环境。

报刊杂志如雨后春笋,出现了一大批文学读者,形成了十九世纪上半叶蓬勃的浪漫主义的文学思潮。

外国的,尤其是英国的文学大师对美国作家产生了重大影响。

美国作家由于秉承了与英国一样的文化保守,形成了同英国一样的浪漫主义风格。

欧文(Irving)、库柏(Cooper),坡(Poe),弗伦诺(Freneau)和布雷恩特(Bryant)一一反古典主义时期的文学样式和文学思潮,开创了较新的小说和诗歌形式。

这一时期大多数美国文学作品中,普遍强调文学的想象力和情感因素,注重生动的描写、异国情调的表达、感官的体会和对超自然力的描述。

Songs of Innocence and Experience
▪ The Songs of Innocence were published by Blake in 1789, and he produced a combined version of Songs of Innocence and of Experience in 1794. The Songs are now often studied for their literary merit alone, but they were originally produced as illuminated books, engraved, hand-printed, and coloured by Blake himself. The text of the poem and the accompanying illustration formed an integrated whole, each adding meaning to the other.
