惠特曼的草叶生态区Whitman' s Ecotopia in Leaves of Grass4.1 Eulogy of NatureWhitman is a poet who not only sings for the nature, but also for the city. He is infatuated with the beauty of nature. At the same time, he edits modern civilized products such as locomotives, cables, etc. He cultivated his emotions on the slopes of the new world and in the process of poetry creation. A unique view of nature and the development of the ideal way of being on earth.There is always a magic power in nature that carves out all kinds of amazing scenes. People can't help but admire her charm of enlightening the world at the same time. The four seasons of the year sing the praises of life. Spring is pregnant with the beauty of sowing hope, everything recovers, the song of birds blows away the bleary sleep curtain of the earth; it is full of vitality, flowers and plants show their heads to decorate the earth, in this perfect spring, with the hope and vitality of life restart. Summer contains the passion and vitality of life. Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, all singing the praises of life, writing the regret of youth. Autumn spreads the beauty of harvest. Fruitful, people's laughter makes the year's efforts more worthwhile. And that winter contains pure and peaceful beauty. Snow capped, silver wrapped, the noisy and pompous world into another peaceful country.4.1.1 Meaning of “Leaves of Grass”The “Leaves of Grass” has a very important position in the history of Americanpoetry and even the entire literature. It is a world-renowned masterpiece, and it has created a new era of American national poetry. Even for English poetry as a whole, its influence can be describ ed by the word “revolution”. When the poetry of Longfellow et al. Is still following the European tradition from content to form, the author has made bold innovations in the form of poetry, created a “free verse” form of poetry, broke the traditional poetic rhythm, and broken the sentence. As the basis of the rhythm, the rhythm is free and unrestrained, the ocean is wild and unrestrained, and it has the momentum and the all-inclusive capacity.Acura democracy and freedom are the main themes of The Blade of Grass. In “Song of Freedom”, the poet solemnly declared: “I utter the most primitive password, and I send a signal of democracy.” In “Knock! Knock it! War Drums!” In this poem, the poet fully reflects the fighting spirit of the federal military and civilians in order to smash slavery and fight for democracy: “Don't negotiate, don't stop, because of others' advice, ignore the cowardly, ignore the crying or praying People; ah, the bugle is blowing so loudly.” In“For You, Democracy”, the poet wrote:“Come, I want to create a nation where the sun shines on ... For you, democracy Oh, I sing these songs in a trembling voice. ”The poet sees the United States as “ the land of democracy.”Human equality is also a concern of the Blade of Grass. In Beginnock, the poet enthusiastically wrote, “Ah. Such a theme is equal! This sacred Pinger noun!”According to the poet, in this world, nations are large and small, regardless of race, They should all be equal. “I am a member of many nations. There is no difference between the largest and the smallest.” “All men born are my brothers, all women are my sisters, and my lover.”“Leaves of Grass” also praises life and praises ordinary workers. There are two poems in “Modern Times”: “There is nothing more godly in the universe th an humanbeings. How majestic and how beautiful.” In “Song of Myself”, the poet generally expressed the image of ordinary Americans. At the beginning of the poem. The poet wrote: “I praise myself for being self-sufficient, and you should also bear what I a ssume, because every atom that belongs to me also belongs to you.” The poet regards himself as an ordinary member of the people. Acclaimed these ordinary people with enthusiasm. It is a typical feature of Romanticism to use rich imagination in his works. Whitman's imagination has its own unique features. For example, the illusion of the gunner describes the illusion of the gunner in a war, which is a scene of fierce fighting: “I hear the sound of different missiles, the short burst of rifle warheads, I see the shell explosion, resulting in clouds, and I hear the sharp sound of the cannon bullets passing by.”Since it's in the battlefield, it's bound to bleed, but the gunner said “I don't pay attention”. Even though there was a lot of noise around, the gunner heard the sound of good news accurately. The poem greatly inspired morale and called on the soldiers to drain the last drop of blood for the country. “The ox tamer”depicts a ox tamer who is good at taming bulls.“Without a bullwhip, he would jump up and down to the angry field of the little cattle fearlessly, stare at him, and the angry cattle would shake his head high and raise it.”The ox tamer is a real master. Although he is “reticent and ignorant of words”, the poet only admires and praises him. When the last lilac blooms in the courtyards, the whole chapter uses symbolic techniques to connect the lilac with President Lincoln.4.1.2 Beauty of NatureThere are a great number of lines in Whitman’S poems illustrating the beamy of nature.In the poem “I Saw in Louisiana a Live-0ak Growing”.he writes:“I saw in Louisiana a live—oak growing,All alone stood it and the moss hung down from the branches,Without any companion it grew there uttering joyous leaves of dark green,And its look, rude, unbending. lusty,made me think of myself,... ... ... ... ...... ... ... ... ...For all that,and thouth the live—oak glistens there in Louisiana solitary in a wide fiat space,Uttering joyous leaves all its life without a friend a lover near.”In the poem “I Saw in Louisiana a Live-0ak Growing”, Whitman is not only moved by its beauty as a tree, but also by its brave and calm quality. It bravely faces any difficulties in life and enjoys happiness with a calm mind, so it shines brilliantly in the poet's eyes. The oak was impressive, and he took one of its twigs with him for a long time to feel as much as he could.ow very well I could not.” From the description of a small tree, the beauty of nature is vividly reflected.In addition, animals often appear in his poems. He wrote for birds, insects and all the animals he met in his life. "It is not because the tortoise is nothing else that the ox is not worth shaking off its chains or stopping in the shade of the tree. / and Jay in the forest has studied its range, but its vibrato is very good for me. In the poem about animals, a special spider caught his attention. In “A Noiseless Patient Spider”. he wrote: “a silent patient spider / I mark where it is isolated in Cape Lille / mark how to explore the vast empty environment / it launches.” Filaments, filaments, filaments, pulled from itself / never honed them, never tired to speed them up . In Whitman's eyes, there are countless poems touching animals, which are usually symbols of free exploration and calm.In a word, Whitman loves everything in nature. He writes for an oak—tree, forthe leaves, for the river, for the ocean, for colorful flowers, ..., for everthing in nature.4.2 Whitman' s Views on Ecological ExistenceWhitman perfectly combines nature with city or culture. From time to time in his poems, he weaves nature into culture, or weaves nature into culture. He realized the close relationship between the two. However, with the process of industrialization and urbanization in modern society, people began to be accustomed to using high technology and science to solve all the problems that undoubtedly separated people from nature and alienated people from nature. However, as food, clothes and sheds, nature has always played a unique role in the whole process of human civilization. People can't live without nature, just like fish can't live without water. he believes that returning to nature and realizing the harmonious relationship between civilization and nature.4.2.1 Going Back to NatureWhitman wanders in the new world, exhausted in body and mind, writing, climbing mountains and mountains, crossing rivers and rivers, wandering in grasslands and forests, wandering on the sea. In his eyes, there are some things in nature that are beautiful or charming to him. First of all, charm comes from the beauty of nature. As a child, Whitman has a special experience of close contact with nature and frequent observation of natural changes, so he can communicate with nature and perceive the beauty of nature with his keen senses. Therefore, as a poet, Whitman enjoys the profundity and profundity of nature more deeply than any other poet. He expresses his appreciation for almost everything in nature, from beautiful scenery to seasonal changes, changes in the ocean, and the living conditions of creatures in nature. He devotes himself to nature and changes his love for nature into immortalityPsalm. So he implies that nature is something beneficial to human beings; in his poems, the encouragement of returning to nature is repeated everywhere.At the same time, in the process of observing and observing nature, he thought about many important things in life and culture. It seems that all things in nature and poetic imagination are integrated into his poetry. For poet, nature is not only the place where he said to understand the profound philosophy of life, but also a source that can understand the philosophy of life, which is released in his mind Enlightening, the poet has millions of writing themes. Although nature is mysterious, poet is willing to explore its secrets and appreciate its glory. He often invites anyone to join him to enjoy the beautiful scenery and communicate with nature. In a sense, he represents everyone in his poetry.such as Whitman said, “Whoever you ale come travel with me!\Traveling with me you find what never tires!”, 'The press of my foot to the earth springs a hundred affections\Of men that live among cattle or taste of the ocean or woods.”In Whitman’s poem, he is always combined with nature, just like dust or grass, but he is still with human beings, because human beings cannot survive without nature. Nature is good for human body and mind. It embodies Whitman's call for modern people to return to nature. He agrees with nature so that people can easily forget everything. Troubles from human society, by doing so, the troubled mind will be comforted by the magic of nature.4.2.2 Advocacy of the Natural Way of ExistenceIn addition to his praise of the natural beauty, Whitman also pays close attention to the psychological state of human beings. From the spiritual dimension of human existence, he can deeply understand many poems in “Leaves of Grass”.Under the background of the crisis of the spiritual world in the 21st century, it isof far-reaching significance to explore these problems. In recent years, great changes have taken place around us. On the one hand, with the development of science and technology, productivity has been improved, and the efficiency of enterprises has been improved. At the same time, it is also constantly improving, causing serious environmental deterioration and ecological crisis. On the other hand, human beings are gradually away from it Nature, on the surface of the booming industrial and commercial world, some things begin to destroy and threaten nature and its residents. Various kinds of pollution and environmental degradation have brought different crises in different fields, which are rooted in human's greedy outlook on life and material. Driven by greedy desire, human seems to lose their sense, thus breaking the balance between the material world and the spiritual world, It leads to mental problems ranging from suicide to insanity.As for the spiritual or spiritual problems of human beings, Whitman wisely provided human beings with his idea of living in a natural way on earth. Of course, his inspiration for the balanced state of mind still comes from nature. When he travels around, he meditates at the same time so that he has people on earth, and one of the most prominent principles of such philosophy is that the natural way absorbs a large number of philosophies of life or existence.As he said:“I think I could turn and live with animals,they are so placid and self-contain’d,I stand and look at them long and long.... ... ... ... ...... ... ... ... ...No one kneels to another,nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,No one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.”In this poem, he wrote praises for animals and plants. They are always satisfiedwith what they have and where they are. They bravely accept the happiness and hardship in life. It seems that they know the general order of nature, usually keep a calm state of mind and never worry about anything. What modern people do in society is in sharp contrast to this philosophy of existence.In short, Whitman does not support people to live in a tense state of mind, but advocates a natural way of life. In his opinion, people should do what they are good at, keep a peaceful attitude and live a life of self satisfaction, instead of greedily pursuing many material things.。

Nature with equal fire our souls endued,Our minds as haughty, and as warm as our blood;O'er the wide world your pleasures you pursue,The change is justified by something new;But we must sigh in silence——and be true.Our sex's weakness you expose and blame(Of every prattling fop the common theme),Yet from this weakness you suppose is due Sublimer virtue that your Cato knew.Had heaven designed us trials so severe,It would have formed our tempers then to bear.And I have borne (oh what have I not borne!)The pang of jealousy, the insults of scorn.Wearied at length, I from your sight remove,And place my future hopes in secret love.In the gay bloom of glowing youth retired,I quit the woman's joy to be admired,With that small pension your hard heart allows,Renounce your fortune, and release your vows.To custom (though unjust) so much is due;I hide my frailty from the public view.My conscience clear, yet sensible of shame,My life I hazard, to preserve my fame.And I prefer this low inglorious stateTo vile dependence on the thing I hate——But you pursue me to this last retreat.Dragged into light, my tender crime is shown And every circumstance of fondness known.Beneath the shelter of the law you stand,And urge my ruin with a cruel hand,While to my fault thus rigidly severe,Tamely submissive to the man you fear.This wretched outcast, this abandoned wife,Has yet this joy to sweeten shameful life:By your mean conduct, infamously loose,You are at once my accuser and excuse.Let me be damned by the censorious prude (Stupidly dull, or spiritually lewd),My hapless case will surely pity findFrom every just and reasonable mind.When to the final sentence I submit,The lips condemn me, but their souls acquit.No more my husband, to your pleasures go,The sweets of your recovered freedom know.Go: court the brittle friendship of the great,Smile at his board, or at his levee wait;And when dismissed, to madam's toilet fly,More than her chambermaids, or glasses, lie,Tell her how young she looks, how heavenly fair,Admire the lilies and the roses there.Your high ambition may be gratified,Some cousin of her own be made your bride,And you the father of a glorious raceEndowed with Ch——l's strength and Low——r's face.诗歌欣赏:Epitaph Xby Thomas HeiseMy birthright I have traded for a petal dressand a summer eulogy.

My mother made her tears into crystalearrings and clipped them to my ears.“Son, you willpay for your sin,“ my father spoke from his throne of glass.Stars burn a sharp, white nacre until they evaporate.The moon‘s flamingo unfolds her iodine wings ov er the broken city.My necropolis.

The ring is a weed that will surely die.There is no one else for miles,and even those people far away are deaf and blind.There is no one to bless this.There are the dark trees, and just beyond the trees.诗歌欣赏:Barrio with Sketchy Detailby Andrea WerblinExcept for the chickens humming to each other,making themselves look boneless in the dirt,I want no memory of this place.I will leave gingerly.I will leave strung out.I will leave rocking on my heels in unbearable heat.the Mexican girls still faking and mourning Selena from their perfect cement stoops,not yet sworn to the anger hangingfrom their papas' mouths like cigarettes.I will leave stunned, from across the room.I will leave by instinct, my tongue intact.I will leave understanding itwas always coming, before that night, even before we met. Marta will stand quiet, a glyph,Pedro offer beer in cups. We'll sit.When I leave, the sky will be a gouache of scratches,the morning sluggish, a cactus flowering.Or I will leave in blistered dark. It will still be true.。

On A Noiseless Patient Spider080920013 施维Walt Whitman is one of the world's most famous poets. What is memorable about his writing is that he usually doesn't rhyme, yet, he can still make a poem sound just as well. “A Noiseless Patient Spider”is one of his short fascinating pieces published in the edition of Leaves of Grass, which uses metaphor to compare the spider to human being and to compare the speaker’s own soul with that of a spider spinning filament.Though the poem is short, it’s pretty impressive and amazing in its structure. The whole poem consists of only two five-line stanzas, written in the first person, typical of lyric poem. The first stanza is just a long sentence, while the second is one long group of words requi ring “I marked” to be carried over unstated from the first stanza in order to make the word group a complete sentence. If inserted, “I marked” would occur after “And” or “soul” in line 6. In the first stanza, the speaker observes the spider and its actions, which symbolizes the speaker’s soul. When he says the spider “launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself”, actually he is talking both about the spider making a web and his soul attempting to make connections with the world, to feel a part of something, or find its place in the universe. Also, the speak marks exactly where the spider stands and pays attention to its isolation. Then the speaker writes how the spider accomplishes its exploration, admiring the capability of the spider and wondering how he can imitate it. In the second stanza, the speaker directly addresses his soul, finding out the similarity between human being and the spider, his soul and the spider. As we know, a spider spins silken thread to span a void while a human builds ships, airplanes, and bridges. Therefore, the spider builds its web as a "bridge" to "hold" itself while the speaker's soul similarly has need of a metaphorical "bridge" that must be "form'd" until it can hold. The poem's last line is also reminiscent of the spider, explaining the "gossamer threads" (webbing) that the soul must "fling" and hope it catches. The poet achieves a measure of balance between the two stanzas with the words “unreeling” and “speeding” in the first stanza and “musing, venturing, throwing, and seeking” in the second stanza. He also balances “isolated” in the first stanza (line 1) with “detached” in the second stanza (line 2) and “vacant vast surrounding” in the first stanza (line 2) with “measureless oceans of space” in the second st anza (line 2).In fact, Walt Whitman uses many techniques in “A Noiseless Patient Spider”. Besides what are mentioned above, we can easily find out that there is alliteration, anaphora, apostrophe, metaphor, personification and imagery in it. For example, “vacant vast”in line 3, “forth filament, filament, filament”in line 4, “stand, surrounded, detached in measureless oceans of space”in line 6 and 7, they are all alliteration. In line 9 and 10, there is a repetition of “till”, from which we could figure out anaphora. Also, the poet uses metaphors to compares the bond that the speaker forms to a bridge and the attachment he forms to an anchor in line 9, compares his exploration to a gossamer thread in line 10. When the speaker compares his soul to aperson in the second stanza, here the poet uses personification. Besides, imagery is one typical technique used by Walt Whitman in this poem. For instance, in the first line, “a noiseless patient spider”brings the readers pictures of small, perfectly still, spiders sitting on their perfect webs for days and days at a time, completely unmoving, no sign of life at all. Then the description of the spider’s motionlessness and isolation gives the readers an idea that the speaker feels alone in the world. Moreover, the image of the “vacant vast surrounding”hints at the speaker’s possible doubt in the meaning of life and his feeling of loneliness and isolation from the rest of the world or his inability to connect with others.After reading the poem, it’s not difficult for the reader to find from the words “noiseless”and “patient”used by the poet to describe the spider that the speaker admires the qualities possessed by the spider. In “A Noiseless Patient Spider”, the poet depicted the quest or exploration of the spider, symbolizing people’s exploration for meaning and knowledge in the vastness of the universe. It is obvious that the speaker admires the courage of the spider to venture forth alone into unknown territory, the patience of it to build a plexus that links one stopping place to the next, and the perseverance of it to carry until the gossamer thread connects to a goal. Meanwhile, that is also what the speaker as well as the reader needs to learn from the spider. The spider is “patient”. The spider is “noiseless”. The spider keeps on trying, without complaint.In a word, “A Noiseless Patient Spider”is an excellent work, which could be considered as “small in theme” in the first stanza at the first glance, yet containing a “sweep of the universe” after carefully analyzing in the whole.。
《生命的召唤》-----阿迪斯·惠特曼《生命的召唤》-----阿迪斯·惠特曼记得小时候,我住在加拿大挪瓦斯科塔乡下时,发生过一件事。
邻居一位太太去世,鳏夫整日酗酒,根本不管孩子。
村中有位寡妇把那家的一个男孩带回自己家。
她很贫穷,又没上过学,但却竭尽全力照顾这浑身发抖、性情孤僻的孩子。
他好象转眼间变了,个子长高了,性格也开朗了。
但是我们和他不熟,谁也不跟他讲话,这使他很自卑。
有一天,他的养母看见我们在玩耍,而那孩子却躲在一边抽泣,没人理睬。
她把他带回屋里,然后对我们大动肝火:“我不准你们这样待他!这孩子也是人。
现在的生活会影响他的一生。
每次我使他稍微抬起头来,你们又把它压下去。
你们不想让他活吗?”许多年过去,我总也忘不了这件事。
它使我第一次领悟到深刻而严肃的人生哲理—─人能成全他人,也能毁弃他人;互相帮助能使人奋发向上,互相抱怨会使人退缩不前。
人与人之间的这种影响,就象阳光与寒霜对田野的影响一样。
每个人都随时发出一种呼唤,促使别人荣辱毁誉,生死成败。
一位作家曾把人生比做蛛网。
他说:“我们生活在世界上,对他人的热爱、憎恨或冷漠,就象抖动一个大蜘蛛网。
我影响他人,他人又影响他人。
巨网振动,辗转波及,不知何处止,何时休。
”有些人专会鼓吹人生没有意义没有希望。
他们的言行使人放弃、退缩或屈服。
这些人之所以如此,可能是因为自己受了委屈或遇到不幸;但不论原因如何,他们孤僻冷淡,使梦想幻灭、希望成灰、欢乐失色。
他们尖酸刻薄,使礼物失值、成绩无光、信心瓦解。
留下来的只是恐惧。
这种人为数不多,但类似的冷言冷语我们都遇到过。
例如,妻子因丈夫身体虚弱,收入微薄,便讥笑他:“你也配做男人?”又如,妻子努力学习烹调,而丈夫的酬答却是“我看你根本不是那块料。
”再如,学生写了一篇有才华有创见的论文,而老师却嫌他书法拙劣,有错别字。
这种人使人觉得没有办法应付人生,从而灰心丧气,自惭形秽,惊慌失措。
而我们可能又会将这种情绪传染给别人。
惠特曼(WaltWhitman)经典诗文汉译O Captain! My Captain! 哦.船长,我的船长!O Caption! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: But O heart! heart! heart!O the bleeding drops of red,Where on the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;Rise up--for you the flag is flung--for you the bugle trills; 10 For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths--for you the shores a-crowding;For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;Here Captain! dear father!This arm beneath your head;It is some dream that on the deck,You've fallen cold and dead.My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;20Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!But I, with mournful tread,Walk the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.哦.船长,我的船长!哦.船长,我的船长!我们险恶的航程已经告终,我们的船安渡过惊涛骇浪,我们寻求的奖赏已赢得手中。

〔美国〕惠特曼《一个一声不响的耐心的蜘蛛》赏析一个一声不响的耐心的蜘蛛,我注意到它在一个小小的岬角上孤零零地站着,注意到它为了探测四周茫茫无际的空间,而怎样从它自己身上发射出细丝,细丝,细丝,老是在抽出它们,老是在不倦地迅速发射它们。
而你,哦,我的灵魂,被包围,被隔开,你站在那些无限广阔的空间的海洋中,不停地沉思,冒险,投掷,寻求着那些星球,为了将它们连接起来,直到你所需要的桥搭起了,直到那韧性的锚下稳了,直到你所抛出的游丝挂住了什么地方,哦,我的灵魂。
(邹绛译)一般人总认为惠特曼以长诗名世,以奔放质朴的风格称绝。
其实也不尽然。
只要细读一下《草叶集》,我们不难发现其中亦有不少神秘隽永、警奇清新的小诗。
《一个一声不响的耐心的蜘蛛》便是这类小诗中的名篇。
这首诗作于一八六二至一八六三年间。
当时《草叶集》仍处于毁誉参半的时期,诗人心灵深处常有一种世无知音的寂寞悲凉。
在这种意义上讲,《一个不声不响的耐心的蜘蛛》所表现的孤寂与寻觅应该是诗人心境的真实写照。
在这首诗里,惠特曼一反往日那种雄健、豪放、明快的诗风,为我们塑造了一个坚忍而孤独的探索者的形象。
全诗虽然两节十行,但实际上只有两个句子。
一句作起,一句作结;一句咏物,一句喻己,流吐毫不费力,而不尽之意已在篇外。
在诗人笔下,我们看到一只孤零零的蜘蛛爬在一块荒僻凄清的海角上。
它深陷于波涛汹涌的大海的包围之中,孤立无援。
但是它却不愿在绝望中等待,而是面对茫茫无际的大海苦苦地、耐心地探索着。
它不断地从体内排出长长的丝来,试图把它们编织成一座通向大洋彼岸的桥,在海天之间找到希望。
这里浩翰的大海与渺小的蜘蛛形成鲜明的反衬。
壮阔者愈见壮阔,渺小者愈见渺小。
仅寥寥几笔,诗人便将深邃悠远的意境、苍凉静谧的气氛和蜘蛛不甘寂寞、努力探索的形象生动地点染出来。
紧接着,诗人笔锋一转,顺势托出全诗主旨,慨叹起自己在人世间的环境来。
在这广阔的世界上他不是同样象只挂在游丝上的蜘蛛吗?他不是同样在执著地追求着希望,寻觅着知音吗?他苦思冥想,不断探索。
惠特曼诗歌《傍晚时我听见》原⽂及赏析 〔美国〕惠特曼 傍晚时我听见我的名字在国会中如何的受到赞美,但对于我,随着来的并不是⼀个快乐的夜, 或者当我豪饮,或者当我的计划成功时,我仍然感觉不到快乐, 可是那⼀天,当天晓时,我⾮常健康地从床上起来,精神焕发,歌唱着,呼吸着秋天的成熟的⽓息, 当我看到西⽅的圆⽉发⽩,并在新晓的曙光中消失, 当我独⾃⼀⼈在海滨徘徊,⾚裸着⾝体,和清凉的海⽔⼀同欢笑,看着太阳升起, 并且当我想着我的好友,我的情⼈,如何正在路上⾛来,哦,这时我是快乐的, 哦,这时,每吸⼀⼝⽓觉得更甜美,那⼀整天的饮⾷对我更加滋养,美丽的⽩天也安适地过去, 第⼆天也带来了同样的快乐,第三天晚间,我的朋友就来了, ⽽在那⼀夜,当万籁俱寂的时候,我听着海⽔幽缓地,不停地卷到海岸上, 我听着海⽔与砂砾沙沙的声⾳,好象对我低语表⽰祝贺, 因为我最爱的⼈,在凉夜中,在同⼀个被单下,睡在我的⾝边。
在秋夜的寂静⽉光中,他的脸对着我, 他的⼿臂轻轻地搂着我,——那夜我是快乐的。
(楚图南译) 这⾸发表于1860年的爱情诗,其中的抒情主⼈公能在“傍晚时听见我的名字在国会中如何的受到赞美”,⽽且既会“豪饮”,⼜能使“计划成功”,同时,还会“在海滨徘徊,⾚裸⾝体”,显然这是⼀个男性。
那么,他等待的“情⼈,如何正在路上⾛来”,与“最爱的⼈”“在同⼀个被单下”睡着,“他的⼿臂轻轻地搂着我”,这个从远处⾛来,搂抒情主⼈公的也不是⼀位⼥性。
可见,这⾸爱情诗,不是写两个异性间的恋爱的爱情诗。
爱情,是⼀个⼴义的词,它除了有男⼥之间性爱之情,也有亲属(⽗母⼦⼥、兄弟姐妹)之间的亲爱之情,更有同性别的挚友之间的友爱之情。
描写友爱之情的,也应属于爱情诗。
莎⼠⽐亚的⼗四⾏诗中,有不少爱情诗,经后⼈研究考证,结论是:⼀部分是给⼀位⿊⽪肤⼥⼦的,⼀部分是给⼀位贵族美少年的。
前者属于性爱之情,后者属于友爱之情,但都是⼴义的爱情诗。
惠特曼的《草叶集》中有⼀辑《芦笛集》,其中⼀⾸就是《傍晚时我听见》。
