摘要
阿丽尔组诗中反映出的新救赎思想是诗人历经创作枯竭后的诗学转变,其意义不啻于对现代荒原的拯救,包含生与死的辩证关系、人的朝圣之旅,以及神恩的决定性作用等三个方面。其目的是恢复人与上帝的关系,使"活死人"走出精神荒原,同时强调了在恐怖和罪恶的年代重建道德秩序或信仰的必要性。
The concept of redemption echoes insistently throughout Eliot's Ariel poems,which as a group represents a monumental transition from The Waste Land cycle of poems to the new phase of his creative work marked by his dramatic writings and the Four Quartets.He conceptualizes redemption in terms of three motifs:paradoxical ambiguity of life and death,pilgrimage,and finally,divine Grace,of which the last one in particular ties in with the moral and religious concerns of redeeming a fallen people,one that has become lost in a spiritual wasteland that keeps the individual from Christianity.With this new conception of redemption,Eliot apparently means to counter the modern trends toward increasing physical desire or sensuality,and to stress the urgency of restoring faith in such an age.
