沼泽下的民族记忆与诗意沉思——西默斯·希尼《托兰人》的文化解读

The Race Memory and Poetry Meditation beneath the Bog:A Cultural Construing to The Tollund Man

《托兰人》是1995年诺贝尔文学奖得主西默斯.希尼的著名诗作之一。沼泽为诗人的文学创作提供了极其重要的精神资源,而在沼泽地发现的“托兰人”尸体则寄托了诗人对北爱尔兰长期的宗教战争、民族冲突的关切与困惑。从民族、宗教文化层面对《托兰人》进行深入解读,可深切领会到诗人悲悯、迷茫、焦灼而痛苦的内心世界。

The Tollund Man is one of the magnum opuses of Seamus Heaney＇s. The ash discovered in the bog bears the poet＇s attention and puzzle to the religionary battles and ethnic conflicts in Northern Ireland. The construing to The Tollund Man from the view of the culture of religion or race could lead us to experience the innermost world of the poet.
