荒原原文

艾略特《荒原The Waste Land.》(原文)作者: T.S. Eliot (1888–1965). The Waste Land. 1922.The Waste LandI. THE BURIAL OF THE DEADAPRIL is the cruellest month, breedingLilacs out of the dead land, mixingMemory and desire, stirringDull roots with spring rain.Winter kept us warm, covering 5Earth in forgetful snow, feedingA little life with dried tubers.Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade, And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten, 10And drank coffee, and talked for an hour.Bin gar keine Russin, stamm' aus Litauen, echt deutsch. And when we were children, staying at the archduke's, My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,And I was frightened. He said, Marie, 15Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.In the mountains, there you feel free.I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter. What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man, 20You cannot say, or guess, for you know onlyA heap of broken images, where the sun beats,And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,And the dry stone no sound of water. OnlyThere is shadow under this red rock, 25(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),And I will show you something different from either Your shadow at morning striding behind youOr your shadow at evening rising to meet you;I will show you fear in a handful of dust. 30Frisch weht der WindDer Heimat zu.Mein Irisch Kind,Wo weilest du?'You gave me hyacinths first a year ago; 35'They called me the hyacinth girl.'—Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden, Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could notSpeak, and my eyes failed, I was neitherLiving nor dead, and I knew nothing, 40Looking into the heart of light, the silence.Od' und leer das Meer.Madame Sosostris, famous clairvoyante,Had a bad cold, neverthelessIs known to be the wisest woman in Europe, 45With a wicked pack of cards. Here, said she,Is your card, the drowned Phoenician Sailor,(Those are pearls that were his eyes. Look!)Here is Belladonna, the Lady of the Rocks,The lady of situations. 50Here is the man with three staves, and here the Wheel, And here is the one-eyed merchant, and this card,Which is blank, is something he carries on his back,Which I am forbidden to see. I do not findThe Hanged Man. Fear death by water. 55I see crowds of people, walking round in a ring.Thank you. If you see dear Mrs. Equitone,Tell her I bring the horoscope myself:One must be so careful these days.Unreal City, 60Under the brown fog of a winter dawn,A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many,I had not thought death had undone so many.Sighs, short and infrequent, were exhaled,And each man fixed his eyes before his feet. 65Flowed up the hill and down King William Street,To where Saint Mary Woolnoth kept the hoursWith a dead sound on the final stroke of nine.There I saw one I knew, and stopped him, crying 'Stetson! 'You who were with me in the ships at Mylae! 70'That corpse you planted last year in your garden,'Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?'Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?'Oh keep the Dog far hence, that's friend to men,'Or with his nails he'll dig it up again! 75'You! hypocrite lecteur!—mon semblable,—mon frère!' II. A GAME OF CHESSTHE Chair she sat in, like a burnished throne,Glowed on the marble, where the glassHeld up by standards wrought with fruited vinesFrom which a golden Cupidon peeped out 80(Another hid his eyes behind his wing)Doubled the flames of sevenbranched candelabra Reflecting light upon the table asThe glitter of her jewels rose to meet it,From satin cases poured in rich profusion; 85In vials of ivory and coloured glassUnstoppered, lurked her strange synthetic perfumes, Unguent, powdered, or liquid—troubled, confusedAnd drowned the sense in odours; stirred by the airThat freshened from the window, these ascended 90In fattening the prolonged candle-flames,Flung their smoke into the laquearia,Stirring the pattern on the coffered ceiling.Huge sea-wood fed with copperBurned green and orange, framed by the coloured stone, 95 In which sad light a carvèd dolphin swam.Above the antique mantel was displayedAs though a window gave upon the sylvan sceneThe change of Philomel, by the barbarous kingSo rudely forced; yet there the nightingale 100Filled all the desert with inviolable voiceAnd still she cried, and still the world pursues,'Jug Jug' to dirty ears.And other withered stumps of timeWere told upon the walls; staring forms 105Leaned out, leaning, hushing the room enclosed. Footsteps shuffled on the stair.Under the firelight, under the brush, her hairSpread out in fiery pointsGlowed into words, then would be savagely still. 110'My nerves are bad to-night. Yes, bad. Stay with me.'Speak to me. Why do you never speak? Speak.'What are you thinking of? What thinking? What?'I never know what you are thinking. Think.'I think we are in rats' alley 115Where the dead men lost their bones.'What is that noise?'The wind under the door.'What is that noise now? What is the wind doing?' Nothing again nothing. 120'Do'You know nothing? Do you see nothing? Do you remember 'Nothing?'I rememberThose are pearls that were his eyes. 125'Are you alive, or not? Is there nothing in your head?'ButO O O O that Shakespeherian Rag—It's so elegantSo intelligent 130'What shall I do now? What shall I do?''I shall rush out as I am, and walk the street'With my hair down, so. What shall we do to-morrow?'What shall we ever do?'The hot water at ten. 135And if it rains, a closed car at four.And we shall play a game of chess,Pressing lidless eyes and waiting for a knock upon the door. When Lil's husband got demobbed, I said—I didn't mince my words, I said to her myself, 140HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIMENow Albert's coming back, make yourself a bit smart.He'll want to know what you done with that money he gave you To get yourself some teeth. He did, I was there.You have them all out, Lil, and get a nice set, 145He said, I swear, I can't bear to look at you.And no more can't I, I said, and think of poor Albert,He's been in the army four years, he wants a good time,And if you don't give it him, there's others will, I said.Oh is there, she said. Something o' that, I said. 150Then I'll know who to thank, she said, and give me a straight look. HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIMEIf you don't like it you can get on with it, I said.Others can pick and choose if you can't.But if Albert makes off, it won't be for lack of telling. 155You ought to be ashamed, I said, to look so antique.(And her only thirty-one.)I can't help it, she said, pulling a long face,It's them pills I took, to bring it off, she said.(She's had five already, and nearly died of young George.) 160 The chemist said it would be alright, but I've never been the same. You are a proper fool, I said.Well, if Albert won't leave you alone, there it is, I said,What you get married for if you don't want children?HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME 165Well, that Sunday Albert was home, they had a hot gammon,And they asked me in to dinner, to get the beauty of it hot—HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIMEHURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIMEGoonight Bill. Goonight Lou. Goonight May. Goonight. 170Ta ta. Goonight. Goonight.Good night, ladies, good night, sweet ladies, good night, good night. III.

The nymphs are departed. 175 Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette endsOr other testimony of summer nights. The nymphs are departed. And their friends, the loitering heirs of city directors; 180 Departed, have left no addresses.By the waters of Leman I sat down and wept...Sweet Thames, run softly till I end my song,Sweet Thames, run softly, for I speak not loud or long.But at my back in a cold blast I hear 185The rattle of the bones, and chuckle spread from ear to ear.A rat crept softly through the vegetationDragging its slimy belly on the bankWhile I was fishing in the dull canalOn a winter evening round behind the gashouse 190Musing upon the king my brother's wreckAnd on the king my father's death before him.White bodies naked on the low damp groundAnd bones cast in a little low dry garret,Rattled by the rat's foot only, year to year. 195But at my back from time to time I hearThe sound of horns and motors, which shall bringSweeney to Mrs. Porter in the spring.O the moon shone bright on Mrs. PorterAnd on her daughter 200They wash their feet in soda waterEt, O ces voix d'enfants, chantant dans la coupole!Twit twit twitJug jug jug jug jug jugSo rudely forc'd. 205TereuUnreal CityUnder the brown fog of a winter noonMr. Eugenides, the Smyrna merchantUnshaven, with a pocket full of currants 210C.i.f.

“T·S”艾略特的文学理论与《荒原》写作

“T·S”艾略特的文学理论与《荒原》写作作者:傅长乐王娅庞文芳来源:《好日子(下旬)》2018年第01期摘要:T·S·艾略特不仅是西方现代派的代表诗人,也是一位杰出的文学理论家。
他的作品《荒原》则很好地体现了他作为诗人的才华和作为理论家的睿智的结合。
本文以《荒原》为例证,即以说明艾略特的文学理论在其作品中的应用。
关键词:荒原;“非个人化”理论;客观对应物T·S·艾略特(Thomas Sterns Eliot,1888-1965)作为西方现代派诗人的先驱人物,在20世纪的英美文学中占有重要地位。
艾略特是英美新批评派的奠基人之一,被称为“现代文学批评大师”。
他的主要批评论蓍有《传统与个人才能》(1921),《玄学派诗人》(1921),《批评的功能》(1923)。
他早年提出的创作和批评的“非个人化”理论论以及“客观对应物”的创作手法,对现代文学产生了很大的影响。
它的基本内容是:生活与艺术不能等同,它们之间有不可逾越的界限,因此作家的个人感情经验必须经过非个人化的过程,将个人的情绪转变为宇宙性、艺术性情绪,才能进入文学作品。
创作的理论总会指导创作的实践,而创作的实践又发展了创作的理论。
最具代表性的《荒原》恰恰显示了艾略特作为著名诗人和优秀理论家的完美统一。
一、“非个人化”理论正是因为艾略特强调艺术家个人的作品必须与历史这个大环境发生关系以彰显自己的意义,因此,艺术家必须效忠于他本身以外的某种东西,为之献身,争取获得自己的独一无二的地位。
于是,非个性化理论便成为艾略特这种传统观的必然产物。
艾略特认为诗应当是非个人化的。
他在《传统与个人才能》中强调,诗人的创作是一种理智性活动,诗人应该隐匿个人感情的流露;诗和其它文学作品是表现情感的。
艾略特指出:“这种感情只活在诗里,而不存在于诗人的经历史中。
”在艾略特看来,文学作品中最好的部分,即使最个人的部分也就是他前辈文学家足以使他们永垂不朽的地方。
论艾略特《荒原》的反思意识

论艾略特《荒原》的反思意识作者:李希萌来源:《信息技术时代·中旬刊》2019年第01期摘要:T·S·艾略特的《荒原》描写了衰败、凄凉的“荒原”景象:没有水,树木干枯,大地龟裂。
“荒原”上的人没有信仰、没有希望、放纵肉欲、醉生梦死、犹如行尸走肉。
诗作高度概括了一战之后的西方社会生活,表现了西方文明的危机和信仰的危机,并提出只有皈依宗教,才能获得生命之水,获得新生。
关键词:T·S·艾略特;《荒原》;反思意识一、《荒原》揭露的现实问题(一)宗教信仰的缺失《荒原》的第一节“死者葬礼”中描绘了一幅阴沉压抑的伦敦城的清晨景象:“并无实体的城,在冬日破晓的黄雾下,/一群人鱼贯地流过伦敦桥,人数是那么多,/我没想到死亡毁坏了这许多人。
/叹息,短促而稀少,吐了出来,/人人的眼睛都盯住在自己的脚前。
流上山,流下威廉王大街,/直到圣马利吴尔诺斯教堂,那里报时的钟声/敲着最后的第九下,阴沉的一声。
”诗中提到的圣马利吴尔诺斯教堂位于伦敦内城历史悠久的郎巴德大街,那是著名的银行街,街上有赫赫有名的英格兰银行。
郎巴德大街因纪念 12 世于此建立公司的郎巴德借贷机构而得名,其在威尼斯和热那亚都有分支,从地名的历史角度来看,郎巴德大街是不折不扣的伦敦内城金融借贷中心,这一情况从 12 世纪一直延续到 20 世纪初。
而圣马利吴尔诺斯教堂是银行家和银行职员的教堂,开放时间与其它教堂不同,充分迎合了银行从业人员工作间隙舒缓精神干涸与苦闷的需要,20 世纪的现实情况也再次印证了该教堂与金融借贷机构的紧密关联。
沉闷的教堂钟声既是内城职员一天单调乏味工作开始的宣示,也是其宗教约束力与影响力降低的外在表现。
(二)人际关系的冷漠与隔绝《荒原》的第二节“对弈”开头描绘了一种极为独特的家庭氛围:富丽堂皇的房子里陈列着无数高档家具,妻子对着丈夫连连发问,企图进行沟通,但丈夫沉默不语,两人便怀着对现在的困惑和对未来的迷惘,在沉寂的对弈中消磨光阴,无力也无心去改变现状。
T_S_艾略特_荒原_的认知诗学解读

069 T 1S 1艾略特《荒原》的认知诗学解读陈阳芳■基金项目:本文系梧州学院2009年科研项目“T 1S 1艾略特《荒原》的认知诗学解读”(项目编号:2009D011)。
T 1S 1艾略特是欧美文学史上开一代诗风的大师,是20世纪西方的诗魂。
他的《荒原》被认为是现代派诗歌的里程碑,是一部具有划时代意义的作品。
学术界对《荒原》的解读和论争一直没有停止过。
然而,从认知诗学的角度解读《荒原》,国内还是很少见。
认知诗学试图运用认知语言学和认知心理学的一系列理论,为具体文本的分析和阐释提供新方法。
(刘文,2007:189)一、认知语言学的注意观与《荒原》的“碎片”认知语言学的注意观(attenti onal vie w )认为,我们用语言表达的实际上只反映了事件中引起我们注意的那部分。
(温格瑞尔,2009:3)文学家把这种注意观发扬到了艺术的高度。
在《荒原》中,全诗肆意地“省略了起连接作用的环节”,甚至是情节,而只描写了引起诗人注意的片段和场景,并以先锋的艺术形式拼接起一组组令人眼花缭乱的“碎片”。
整首诗“场景变换突兀,意象纷乱似无联系,并且彻底打破了时空观念,在古代女王克里奥帕特拉和现代女打字员之间,在混乱的欧洲到遥远的东方之间随意跳跃。
”(曾繁仁,2003:315)造成诗歌表面上杂乱无序、晦涩费解的深层原因是诗人在诗学理论上的创新:诗人放弃了传统诗歌可循的秩序和逻辑,代之以想象中的逻辑和秩序,这种“想象的逻辑”“忽略了起连接作用的环节”。
(转引曾繁仁,2003:315)艾略特运用“碎片”来拼凑《荒原》是诗歌的主题使然。
《荒原》描写的是现代人颓废的精神荒原。
根据我们对“荒原”的理解,颓废的精神荒原必定是杂乱无章,毫无逻辑秩序可言的,这就决定引起诗人注意的是杂乱无序、毫无逻辑秩序的“碎片”,是《荒原》的内容决定了其结构形式。
这样的结构使读者在阅读过程中如身临其境一般在荒原上漫步。
二、心境对认知的影响与“客观对应物”理论在《荒原》中的应用 认知心理学认为,当人们抑郁时不愉快的记忆就会在脑子里不断冒出来,人们也会更加负性地看待他们自己以及他们身边的世界。

《荒原》 精彩读后感4篇(每篇800字)

注:总共4篇、每篇字数800+,精彩在最后。
《荒原》读后感一《荒原》—这部展现了现代社会精神荒芜的文学作品,由诗人T.S.艾略特创作于20世纪早期,一经问世就以其深邃的内涵和复杂的结构在文学界引起了轰动。
在这首长诗中,艾略特以瑰丽而充满象征的语言,描绘了战后欧洲文明的失落、精神迷惘和道德衰败。
阅读《荒原》,就仿佛进入了一个充满了迷雾的旷野,期待能从中找寻到失落的人性和荣光。
《荒原》是一个拼贴的世界,艾略特借助大量的神话、宗教和文学典故,构建出一个多层次、多维度的文学宇宙。
他将古代文化与现代文明巧妙交织,反映出个体在社会变迁中的孤独感与震荡。
他对传统的重新解读,对未来的悲观预测,都使得这首诗成为了对现代人心灵枯竭状态的深刻映照。
这首长诗不仅是艾略特对时代背景的批判,也是对现代人存在状态的剖析。
在《荒原》中,艾略特运用了断裂的叙事,迷幻的意象,以及突兀的语言转换,模拟了内心世界的混乱和社会形态的离散。
荒原不只是地表的荒芜,它更象征了人内心的荒凉与失落,反映了文明发展到现代却出现的精神信仰与寄托的极度贫瘠。
在诗中,“我”扮演着众多面孔,一会儿是先知提尔西亚斯,一会儿是失落的渔夫,这些身份的转换体现了现代人在面对复杂生活与社会时,身份认同与精神支柱的模糊与涣散。
《荒原》像一个无声的呐喊,表达了一个时代的心声,那是对战争、对工业化进程影响下精神世界的焦虑和困惑。
震撼之余,《荒原》使我不禁自省,思考我们在快速发展的现代生活中,是否也感受到了那份荒芜与迷失。
似乎每个人都或多或少体会到了内心的不安与空虚——阅读这首诗,就像是在心灵的荒野中,寻找一条出路。
艾略特不仅诗意地提出问题,而且在结尾处给予了一线的希望。
通过暗示性的宗教元素和神话传说,他似乎在告诉我们,唯有回归精神的净化与自我探索,人类才能从这片“荒原”中复苏。
诗的尾声“Shantih Shantih Shantih”是梵语中的“平静”字面意思,为这部讲述纷乱世界的文本,带来了一丝宁静和冥想。

长诗总结
《荒原》作为一个庞杂的艺术集合体,蕴藏着丰 富的思想内涵,其艺术是象征的,其思想是写实的; 《荒原》是继波德莱尔的《恶之花》之后以西方 现代社会为中心内容的著名诗篇,把神话、人类学、 基督教和东方宗教意象结合在一起, 用诗的方法反映第一次世界大战后整个西方世界 的精神危机, 用象征和暗示的艺术手法表现西方现代世界的腐 朽没落和人类的精神空虚,在艺术中为现代的“荒 原”探索精神上和道德上的出路;
Your company slogan
结构形式
卷首引语 第一章:“死者葬仪” (The Burial of The Dead),写现代荒原 的衰败、没落和死亡; 运用各种象征、暗示和典故等手法,描写现代社会的荒凉和 人类的无奈与绝望,同时也希望荒原通过死的祭礼而得到新生 ; 第二章:“对弈” (A Game of Chess),标题取自托玛斯· 米德 尔顿的剧本《弈棋》,而情节取自作者的剧本《女人提防女 人》; 剧中的故事说公爵为了同情人卞安格幽会,邻居设计请卞安 格的婆婆下棋,公爵在他们下棋时终于如愿以偿。 艾略特以弈棋为题,是为了用这个故事隐喻、暗示和讽刺人 欲横流和尔虞我诈的西方现代社会; 第三章: “火诫” (The Fire Sermon),与东方的佛教有关, 是全诗的重点; 火诫的象征意义是明显的,它暗示现代的荒原只有经过火的 洗礼,才能获得新生

二、前、后期象征主义的区别
前期象征主义象征内涵意义单一、单义、简单。暗示和 对应的关系相对明晰;而后期象征主义则表现出多重、 多义、复杂的特征,其内涵意义 更具暗示性、联想性、 含蓄性。 前期象征主义注重感情象征,提供对应和暗示,可以窥 见作者内心丰富的情感世界;后期象征主义更在于 表现 理智 ,表现抽象的 思想观念 ,着眼于对艺术、生活和人 生哲理的理性探索。 前期象征主义追求迷离朦胧的诗歌意境,把迷蒙纯净、 幻觉梦境作为 象征主义艺术审美 的追求,把直觉、梦幻、 暗示、象征、音乐性等熔于一炉;后期象征主义则把诗 歌引入到宗教神秘之中,建立起 象征主义的神话体系 , 将玄学、神话、宗教与象征融于一体。
