关键词:“when you are old”解析比较一、“when you are old”创作背景威廉·巴特勒·叶芝(william butler yeats)是爱尔兰的伟大诗人,剧作家,1923年诺贝尔文学奖的获得者,“爱尔兰文艺复兴运动”的领袖,也是艾比剧院的创建者之一。
其作品历经晚期浪漫主义、唯美主义、象征主义、现代主义几个时期,虽作品风格在变化,但在每一个时期他的作品独具气质和魅力,每个时期的创作都取得巨大成就。
正如瑞典学院诺贝尔奖委员会主席佩尔·哈尔斯特龙在1923年给叶芝的授奖词中说:“……虽然叶芝熟读英国诗歌大师的作品,他的诗自有一种新的特点。
节奏和色彩起了变化,仿佛它们移入了另一种空气——来到了大海边凯尔特地区的朦胧暮色。
与现代英国诗歌相比,叶芝的诗有着更强的歌的成分,音乐更凄凉,节奏更柔和。
尽管诗很自由,但却象一个梦游人一样步履平稳,于是我们有了另一种节奏的感觉——风在缓缓地吹,大自然的力量在跳动永久的脉搏。
当这种艺术达到最高峰时,它富有绝对的魔幻,但要把握住它,总是不容易的事。
确实,它常常是如此隐晦,需要费很大力气才能理解,其原因一部分在于实际主题的神秘性,另一部分也许在于凯尔特民族的气质;这种气质在激情、精致、深沉中,而不是在清晰之中才更为显著……。
”叶芝诗歌有两大主题:政治和爱情。
他的诗歌很大一部分与爱尔兰民族解放运动息息相关,同时又有一部分来自于他丰富情感世界的灵感。
对于爱尔兰民族解放运动领袖莫德·冈(maud gonne)追求的漫长与痛苦成就了叶芝在诗歌领域的一部部佳作,犹如贝壳酝酿珍珠的痛苦,叶芝在求之不得,没有回应的情感带给他痛苦与折磨中,沉淀出了一首又一首闪光的诗篇。

然而，诗的结尾部分却带有一种凄凉的情绪。
叶芝表示即便他早已离去，她也应该静静地坐在炉边，将过去的美好回忆重新鼓舞起，并感受到他的爱：“句句恰似带着我的思念……当我前半生已渡，以及你年长颤抖”。

叶芝《当你老了》诗歌赏析(英文版)-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1The appreciation of “When You Are Old”This poem chooses from the poetry "rose" of Yeats, which is written in 1893, it is one of the representative early works of Yeats, addresses to his heart goddess, who is also the most important woman in his life.“When you are old and gray and full of sleep, and nodding by the fire”, the poet starts with a pencil like painting a picture which interlaces the shadow withlight , no vivid color, atmospheric background and lingering characters’ mov e, only a quiet life fabric of old age. Although at this time, Yeats was only 29, his lover was only 27 years old, but the "white head", "Sleep giddy" , "snoozing by the fire", a simple image, but let time rapidly move forth to the future of her. At that time, she lost the charming appearance, lost fresh youth; maybe the readers can't help asking: what kind of emotion is the poet for her at that time. “Take down this book, and slowly read, and dream of the soft look; your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep”, very few words, the poet lead her experience his deep feeling slowly. Let an old woman to look back may seem to be cruel and the gap between of the contrast will diffuse inthe heart. And in this gap, the poet gradually recognizes the firm love, which likes an unexpected gift, a surprise. As if the gentle stream are starting to flow from the iceberg and melting slowly out of it, with the huge source, which is a long process.The conception of the original whole poem in the first stanza describes that an old woman looks back to her love when she was young. What is love Perhaps it is only the one who is really experienced that kind of real emotion can have sincerely feelings of its appearance. But no matter how, the memory of love is the sweetest and most often does when he or she is old just as what is written in the poem, beauty is old, the appearance is gone, and she is sitting by the fire and starts reviewing the past love.“How many loved your moments of glad grace, and loved your beauty with love false or true; But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, and loved the sorrows of your changing face”,since the poem has already opened, the feeling of the poet has been read slowly, after so long trial, he can't wait to contrast with other admirer, and express his strong feeling in his heart, which hasbeen shaking his emotion.Other's "false or true" has passed through her long life, while his love to her pilgrim's soul, sweet and sad, in a few years. The faith of love let poet could no longer tell carefully, finally he sorrows unbearably, and compares himself to the only person passionately and proudly; "Only a man" is the most interest to her pursues, beyond time, space and secular.Of course after understanding the heroine of the poetry, the reader is easy to know that she is a free movement warrior, she and Yeats has the common ideal and pursuit, that is the struggle for the liberation of Ireland. What’s more, Yeats is also a poet who possesses mysticism, romantic and aestheticism. At this time, the stream of love as if the flood in the valley, fast but still lonely. The thinking of the love is awakening slowly in the memory, facing so crazy profession, she should joy or grieveThis poem is deepened in the final section. “And bending down beside the glowing bars, murmur, a little sadly”,the shaking fire shines upon the withered appearance; the screen is vague with light and shade, sothat readers can't help imagining the old woman’s mood. Is she mourning the fleeting of youth, or the twining of love Once let poet’ feeling burying in time, the past events in the time can't be chased, only the memories can give some consolations. “How love fled and paced upon the mountains overhead, and hid his face amid a crowd of stars.” With the time goes, which touched the old woman so much, love is also met subsequently slip away No, there is such a kind of love, it remains, it is just not be responded, and it can't find its habitats, but it is very clinging to survive, or stepping on the mountaintop, or impaling in the stars.The poet's love, is not accepted, is sweet torment, and hate is woven into the forever altered. At this time, the emotional stream has come to the estuary softly, going to the ocean, and sinking into the deep end, whose surface is calm. The monologue, endless miles of faithful attitude, endless grievance and injustice of the poet, these all return to the silent waiting in real life. Finally, the love as if the lofty and cold stars on the top, which have the insurmountable distance, but never fails to stare at her. Such enduring love may puzzle thereaders, they still need to pack up their heart again and return to the reason reluctantly. It gives an everlasting and divine theme to love, making the reader feel the great love suddenly, and the precious of love. Let the reader to be affected by both the sentimental and the encouraging, maybe there is a kind of true love which is no need to own, however, it also tough exists and has been around!Love is the entire of this poem; the whole poem uses the simple language level, but if you read carefully, there seems to be a mysterious breath of strong winds. The love and the persistent of the poet, the sad or happy of the poet, no matter how our readers or the translators who might feel the fall in love of the feeling can not really take hold in place.By writing this poem in this fashion, the narrator could possibly hope to achieve either of the following: the woman, once old, will remember the days when she was young with happiness but grow regretful that she did not take advantage of his love, or the woman, in the present, will see what an opportunity she is missing by ignoring his love for her and leaving him to fade into the past.。

when you are old英文赏析When You Are OldAs we journey through life, we often find ourselves reflecting on the passage of time, the experiences that have shaped us, and the wisdom we have acquired along the way. One such contemplation is the notion of growing old, a natural process that brings with it a wealth of insights and a deeper understanding of the world around us.The poem "When You Are Old" by William Butler Yeats is a poignant exploration of this very concept. Through his lyrical verses, Yeats invites us to imagine a future where the ravages of time have left their mark, but where the essence of one's being remains steadfast.The opening line sets the stage, "When you are old and grey and full of sleep," painting a vivid picture of the physical changes that come with age. The use of the word "sleep" evokes a sense of weariness, a slowing down of the frenetic pace of youth. Yet, Yeats' words are not tinged with melancholy, but rather a gentle acknowledgment of the natural cycle of life.The poet then goes on to suggest that the reader, the subject of the poem, will be "Nodding by the fire, taking down this book," a scene of quiet contemplation and self-reflection. The image of the book is particularly poignant, as it represents the accumulated wisdom and experiences that have been collected over a lifetime.As the poem progresses, Yeats invites the reader to remember a time when they were "beautiful and fair," a reference to the fleeting nature of youth and physical beauty. However, the poet does not dwell on this loss, but rather suggests that the true value lies in the relationships and connections that have endured.The line "And bending down beside the glowing bars, / Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled" is a powerful one, evoking a sense of wistfulness and a recognition that even the most profound of human experiences can be transient. Yet, Yeats suggests that the memory of love, even if it has faded, can still bring a bittersweet comfort in the twilight of one's life.The final stanza of the poem is perhaps the most poignant, as Yeats implores the reader to "Remember me when I am gone away," a request that speaks to the universal human desire to be remembered and to leave a lasting legacy. The poet's use of the phrase "gone away" is particularly evocative, suggesting a sense of departure and the unknown that lies beyond the confines of this earthly existence.Yet, the poem does not end on a somber note. Instead, Yeats offers a glimmer of hope, a recognition that the memories and connections forged over a lifetime can transcend the boundaries of time and space. The final line, "You loved me once, and for a while," is a testament to the enduring power of love, a sentiment that resonates with readers of all ages.In the end, "When You Are Old" is a poetic meditation on the complexities of the human experience, a celebration of the richness that can be found in the twilight years of one's life. Through his masterful use of language and imagery, Yeats invites us to reflect on our own journeys, to embrace the wisdom that comes with age, and to cherish the connections that have sustained us along the way. It is a timeless work that continues to resonate with readers, offering a glimpse into the profound and often bittersweet realities of growing old.。
