《威斯敏斯特桥上》与浪漫主义的核心理念

"Upon Westminster Bridge" And The Kernel Idea of Romanticism

《威斯敏斯特桥上》是华兹华斯作品中较为罕见的一首以都市景观为创作题材的诗歌。从表面上看,它似乎偏离了浪漫主义美学的核心理念———"自然之崇拜"。然而,通过对这首诗的文本本体的解读及对"自然之崇拜"的重新理解,可以发现,它与浪漫主义核心理念存在着实质上的一致性,而这首诗的主题也因此得到新的揭示。

Among all the poems by Wordsworth, 'Upon Westminster Bridge' is a peculiar piece, for it takes the scenery of city as the subject matter, which seemingly deviates from the kernel idea of Romanticism—the worship to nature. However, by an explication of the text itself and the comprehension of the idea, coherence between the poem and the idea is found, and a new apprehension of the theme of this poem is presented.
