哈代诗作《“啊,是你在我坟上挖掘么?”》赏析

托马斯.哈代向以小说著称于世,但其在诗歌上的成就亦为斐然。其诗作言语简练,朴实无华然而往往含意隽永,充满对现实的冷眼相看,但又富于对生活和爱情的瑰丽幻想,是现实主义与浪漫主义的结合。他的诗歌《"啊,是你在我坟上挖掘么?"》就以对白式的设计和反复的吟咏以及出人意料的结尾向读者展现了世情淡漠,世态炎凉。

Thomas Hardy is considerably prestigious writer in Victoria era while an outstanding poet in Britain. Brief and plain but profound in meaning, Hardy＇s poems which are imbued with the poet＇s observation and criticism on reality while abounded with marvelous fantasies on life and love, are minglings of realism and romanticism. His poem ＂Ah, Are You Digging on My Grave？＂ exposes the coldness and roughness in life via repetition of lines, artfully designed dialogue between the dead and a dog and an unexpected ending.
