惠特曼诗中明月意象的内在意蕴

The Internalized Meaning of the Moony Imagery in Whitman's Poetry

明月是惠特曼诗歌中用得较多的意象之一。其内在意蕴主要体现在歌唱友情与爱情、凭吊亡灵、寄托理想、宇宙探幽等四个方面。诗中的明月意象起到了渲染背景、寄托情感和寄寓哲理的作用。

The moon is one of the imagery in Whitman＇s poetry. The internalized meaning of the moony imagery mainly portraits the romanticization of friendship and love, the expression of his mourning for the dead, the placing of his ambitions on the moon and the probe into the universe. The use of the moony imagery functions to heighten the setting, to place emotions and philosophy on the moon.
