英国浪漫主义诗歌中的“鸟雀”意象解读

On the Images of "Birds" in English Romantic Poetry

英国浪漫主义诗歌的意象表现得极其丰富,其中最常见的意象是"鸟雀",尤其是云雀和夜莺。华兹华斯笔下的云雀虽也飞翔于苍天,但它离不开家园的牵绊;而雪莱的云雀却是翱翔长空的精灵,是绝对自由的向往者;科尔律治的夜莺是"自然界中甜美的声音";而济慈的夜莺却给诗人带来痛苦和死亡的幻想。浪漫主义诗人采用"鸟雀"意象,来展示人与自然心意相通的和谐。

Rich images have been represented in English Romantic poetry, in which the most seen are birds, especially skylark and nightingale, which are vividly and profoundly depicted. Wordsworth＇s skylark, though soaring in the sky, can not leave its home. But Shelley＇s skylark, being a Spirit soaring in heaven, is a pursuer for absolute freedom. Coleridge＇s nightingale has ＂nature＇s sweet voices＂ ; while Keats＇s nightingale brings him vision of pain and death. The Romantic poets show a spiritual harmony between nature and human by using images of ＂birds＂.
