论艾青《诗的散文美》一文的理论缺失

On the Theoretical Defect of Ai Qing’s “The Prosaic Beauty of Poetry”

诗应该讲究诗美,散文应该讲究散文美,这是基本的美学原则之一。艾青《诗的散文美》一文的理论缺失主要在于其抹杀了诗与散文语言形式的界限。提倡“诗的散文美”,其消极的影响是导致诗的语言形式美的放逐、诗的散文化的泛滥。

Poetry should have poetic beauty, and prose should have prosaic beauty--this is one of the basic an esthetics principles. The main theoretic defect of Ai Qing＇s ＂The Prosaic Beauty of Poetry＂ is that it slurs the boundary between the linguistic form of poetry and that of prose. Ai Qing＇ s advocacy for prosaic beauty of poetry would lead to the exile of poetic linguistic formal beauty and the flood of prosaism in poetry.
