爱尔兰的歌者——叶芝诗歌中爱尔兰主题的嬗变及其原因

Singer of Ireland——Study on Changes in Theme of Ireland in Yeats' Poetry and Its Reasons

作为一名爱尔兰诗人,叶芝一生关注爱尔兰民族命运,但是其诗歌中爱尔兰主题并非一成不变:诗人早年时热衷于民族主义,诗歌创作题材汲取了爱尔兰传统神话与民间传说,勾画出理想的爱尔兰蓝图;到中晚期时由于政局变化和诗人本人的心态逐渐成熟,叶芝对爱尔兰社会和历史进行了深刻思索,其诗歌中对爱尔兰的态度由狭隘走向成熟,他扎根于本土文化,却跳出狭隘民族主义的语境,使其文学创作成为世界的一部分。

As one of the most important Irish poets, W. B. Yeats paid more attention to the national fate of Ireland, But the theme of Ireland in his poetry was ever changing. When he was young, he tended to be an extreme nationalist and imported many traditional Irish myths and folk stories in his poetry to design the blue print of his dream Ireland; while he grew more mature and influenced by the turbulent political situation, he began to carefully self-examine Irish history and reality in his mid and late period of creation. And we could achieve a conclusion that while his attitude to Ireland reflected in his poetry changed from parochialism to maturity, Yeats took roots in the Irish culture and abandoned context of parochial nationalism, which made his literary creation one part of the world literature.
