英国湖畔诗人华兹华斯的诗歌名篇

英国湖畔诗人华兹华斯的诗歌名篇
《水仙花》是华兹华斯的诗歌作品,原文如下:我孤独地漫游,像一朵云在山丘和谷地上飘荡,
忽然间我看见一片水仙,开在湖畔,开在微风中荡漾。
如此可爱的光辉,从来没有见过,一片片黄金在微风中闪耀;
一瞥间,一瞥间我看到了
千朵万朵的水仙花在欢笑。
他们不能懒散躺或靠,
好像有看不见的音符在激励;他们顾影自怜,孤芳自赏,舞着,舞着,好像要飞升腾空。
每当我躺在天空下的草地上,仰望蓝天,听凭我的思绪飞翔;
我就能看见千朵万朵的水仙花在蓝天中飘荡,闪耀着金光。
《我独自游荡,像一朵孤云》

《我独自游荡,像一朵孤云》(I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud) 诗歌,1804年3月——1807年4月[英国]威廉·华兹华斯(William Wordsworth,1770——1850)[导读]18世纪末19世纪初,欧洲文学出现了重要的转折,古典主义在流行了二百年之后,逐渐走向衰亡,浪漫主义则得到了辉煌的发展。
在英国,19世纪的前30年中,其浪漫主义代表了欧洲的最高文学成就。
英国文学最早出现的浪漫主义作家是“湖畔派”诗人,其代表华兹华斯是“湖畔派”的领袖,消极浪漫主义的重要代表。
威廉·华兹华斯(1770——1850),1770年4月7日出生在英国坎伯兰郡考克茅斯的一个律师家庭。
考克茅斯位于英格兰西北部的“湖区”,该地区湖泊星罗棋布,山色秀美。
正是这优美的湖光山色与英国伟大的诗歌传统,陶冶了华兹华斯热爱自然的性格和浪漫主义的诗情。
华兹华斯的家境比较富裕,但其少年时代生活并不美好,他八岁丧母,十三岁时父亲又去世,兄妹五人分别由舅父和外祖父母抚养,富裕的生活也从此不在了。
1787年华兹华斯进入剑桥大学的圣约翰学院学习。
他在所开设的课程方面并没有取得什么成绩,却熟读了大量的希腊和拉丁文学,学习了意大利语、法语、西班牙语。
在剑桥学习期间,他受到法国启蒙主义思想家卢梭“回到大自然去”的思想的影响,于1790年徒步游历了法国、意大利、瑞士,不仅饱览了阿尔卑斯山的美丽景色,而且在法国还亲眼目睹了法国人民欢庆攻陷巴士底狱一周年的动人场景。
1791年华兹华斯大学毕业后,于11月重访法国。
当时法国正处在大革命的高潮阶段,华兹华斯误以为革命是为了“回到大自然去”,因此非常向往革命,结识了许多温和派的吉伦特党人,热烈拥护法国革命。
此间,他写了一些充满民主、自由思想的好诗。
后来雅各宾派在法国开始专政,华兹华斯的吉伦特派朋友也遭到镇压,他于是在1792年底失望地离开了法国而回到了英国,同时他的思想也逐渐走向消极。

华兹华斯的诗歌

[英国]华兹华斯顾子欣译我好似一朵孤独的流云,高高地飘游在山谷之上,突然我看到一大片鲜花,是金色的水仙遍地开放。
它们开在湖畔,开在树下它们随风嬉舞,随风飘荡。
它们密集如银河的星星,像群星在闪烁一片晶莹;它们沿着海湾向前伸展,通向远方仿佛无穷无尽;一眼看去就有千朵万朵,万花摇首舞得多么高兴。
粼粼湖波也在近旁欢跳,却不知这水仙舞得轻俏;诗人遇见这快乐的伙伴,又怎能不感到欢欣雀跃;我久久凝视--却未能领悟这景象所给带给我的精神至宝。
后来多少次我郁郁独卧,感到百无聊赖心灵空漠;这景象便在脑海中闪现,多少次安慰过我的寂寞;我的心又随水仙跳起舞来,我的心又重新充满了欢乐。
赏析这首诗写于诗人从法国回来不久。
诗人带着对自由的向往去了法国,参加一些革命活动。
但法国革命没有带来预期的结果,随之而来的是混乱。
诗人的失望和受的打击是可想而知的,后来在他的朋友和妹妹的帮助下,情绪才得以艰难地恢复。
这首诗就写于诗人的心情平静之后不久。
在诗的开头,诗人将自己比喻为一朵孤独的流云,孤单地在高高的天空飘荡。
孤傲的诗人发现一大片金色的水仙,它们欢快地遍地开放。
在诗人的心中,水仙已经不是一种植物了,而是一种象征,代表了一种灵魂,代表了一种精神。
水仙很多,如天上的星星,都在闪烁。
水仙似乎是动的,沿着弯屈的海岸线向前方伸展。
诗人为有这样的旅伴而欢欣鼓舞、欢呼跳跃。
在诗人的心中,水仙代表了自然的精华,是自然心灵的美妙表现。
但是,欢快的水仙并不能时时伴在诗人的身边,诗人离开了水仙,心中不时冒出忧郁孤寂的情绪。
这时诗人写出了一种对社会、世界的感受:那高傲、纯洁的灵魂在现实的世界只能郁郁寡欢。
当然,诗人的脑海深处会不时浮现水仙那美妙的景象,这时的诗人双情绪振奋,欢欣鼓舞。
诗歌的基调是浪漫的,同时带着浓烈的象征主义色彩。
可以说,诗人的一生只在自然中找到了寄托。
英文版“I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”was written by William Wordsworth, the representativepoet of the early romanticism. As a great poet of nature, William Wordsworth was the first to find words for the most elementary sensations of man face to face with natural phenomena. These sensations are universal and old but, once expressed in his poetry, become charmingly beautiful and new. His deep love for nature runs through short lyrics such as “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”I Wandered Lonely as a CloudI wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high o’er vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd,A host, of golden daffodils;Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.Continuous as the stars that shineAnd twinkle on the milky way,They stretched in never-ending lineAlong the margin of a bay:Ten thousand saw I at a glance,Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.The waves beside them danced; but theyOut-did the sparkling waves in glee:A poet could not but be gay,In such a jocund company:I gazed --- and gazed --- but little thoughtWhat wealth the show to me had brought:For oft, when on my couch I lieIn vacant or in pensive mood,They flash upon that inward eyeWhich is the bliss of solitude;And then my heart with pleasure fills,And dances with the daffodils.“I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”is a poem about nature. With his pure and poetic language, Wordsworth brings us into a beautiful world where there are daffodils, trees and breeze. We follow the poet at every turn of his feelings. We share his melancholy w hen he “wandered lonely as a cloud” and his delight the moment his heart “with pleasure fills ”. We co me to realize the great power of nature that may influence our life deeply as revealed in the poem.Edgar Allan Poe once described poetry as “music…combined with a pleasure idea”. In the poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”, the poet also makes great use of the “music ”of the language to achieve sound beauty in addition to convey meaning. He employs masculine rhyme in “a, b, a, b, c, c” pattern to receive emphasis as a musical effect. (e.g. “cloud” (a), “hills” (b), “crowd” (a), “daffodils” (b), “trees” (c), “breeze” (c) in stanza 1). He also achieves musical quality by the management of alliteration (e.g. “That floats on high o’er vales and hills” in line 2 and “Beside the lake, beneath the trees” in line 5) and assonance (e.g. “beneath the trees in line 5” and “ They stretched in never-ending line” in line 9) and consonance (e.g. “ vales and hills” in line 2 ). Besides the repetition of sounds, the poet also makes his poem a strong appeal for us in languagethat is rhythmical. He arranges his poem in lines of iambic tetrameter in the main with alternation of iambic trimeter.( e.g. I wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high o’er vales and hillsWhen all at once I saw a crowdA host, of golden daffodilsBeside the lake, beneath the treesFluttering and dancing in the breeze )He slowed down the tempo in line 4 to keep in accordance with his bated breath the moment he glimpses at a host of golden daffodils thus convey to us the poet’s intoxication in the face of nature. With all these musical devices, Wordsworth secures a songlike effect of his poem in addition to communicate his emotion and meaning.An old saying goes “There are pictures in poetry and poetry in pictures”. It finds its most eloquent examples in most of the Chinese Tang poems that present the readers with beautiful pictures. In the poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”, the poet also seeks to express his emotions by providing the sense impressions he has through imagery. He depicts a picture in which “a host of golden daffodils (visual imagery) fluttering and dancing in the breeze” (kinaesthetic imagery) so vividly that it appeals richly to our senses and to our imagination.Wordsworth, in the poem, also employs figurative language to evoke not only the visual effect but also the emotional response. (e.g. in line 1, the poet makes a comparison between “I wandered lonely”and “a cloud”by the use of simile, thus convey to us his lonely and melancholy mood with the image of “cloud”. In line 7, he also amplifies the visual effect by the use of another simile “Continuous as the stars that shine…” to evoke our sense of “daffodils” with the image of “stars” twinkling on the milky w ay which is familiar to us all. He goes further to impress us with the image of countless daffodils with an overstatement in line 9 “They stretched in never-ending line”). Besides, natural things are also endowed with human being’s characters by the poet’s subtle use of personification. (e.g. “Tossing their heads in sprightly dance” “The waves beside them danced”) therefore, as we read the poem, we become aware of the poet’s deep love toward nature through his lovely and vivid description about natural things with his figurative language.What’s more, Wordsworth goes further to communicate his emotion and meaning by his thoughtful tone. The choose of the word “lonely”in “I wandered lonely as a cloud”instead of other words like carefree, leisure or jolly convey to us the poet’s depression and disconsolateness at the very beginning. But as he catches sight of daffodils stretching as far as the eyes can see and finds himself in the midst of nature, his loneliness turns into relaxation and joy. Thus the shift of the poet’s mood from sadness to happiness manifests the theme --- the great influence of nature upon human being.孤独割麦女青年英国威廉?华兹华斯1770-18501孤独站在麦田里,窕窕少女收割忙,边割边唱无休止,我把姑娘细端详,过路的人要静悄悄,不要把她来打扰,少女唱出海豚音,宇宙充满天籁声。

He attributed to imaginative literature the primary role in keeping man emotionally alive and morally sensitive, i.e. keeping him essentially本 质上,根本上human, in the face of the pressures of a technological and increasingly urban society. He claimed that the great subjects of poetry were “the essential passions of the heart” and “the great and simple affections” as these qualities interact 相 互 作 用 with “the beautiful and permanent forms of nature” and are expressed in a “naked and simple” language that is “adapted to interest mankind permanently”.

2) Literarily he was strongly against the neoclassical新古典主义的 poetry, especially that of Dryden Pope and Johnson, and tried to restore the tradition of Spenser, Shakespeare and Milton. He was the leading figure of the English romantic poetry. He thought the source of poetic truth was the direct experience of the senses. His definition of poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings’’ and "emotion recollected in tranquillity" was shared by a number of his followers. He maintained that the senses and events of everyday life and the speech of ordinary people were the raw material of which poetry could and should be made. The most important contribution he has made is that he has not only started the modern poetry, the poetry of the growing inner self, but also changed the course of English poetry by using ordinary speech of the language and by advocating a return to nature.
