试论爱默生文学中的《圣经》主题

The Biblical Subject Pattern in Emerson's Works

爱默生文学《圣经》中"自我、诗人和哲理"暗合了《圣经》中耶稣"神、神迹和神谕"三大主题。《圣经》千百年积淀的主题塑造了爱默生的文学和思想,既从无意识的层面给他烙下了《圣经》的印记,又从文化意识层面赋予他文学创作中无穷的灵感。对于常常被诟为缺乏系统性的爱默生思想,可以从《圣经》主题角度概括:"自我、诗人和哲理"是其思想体系中一个相对稳定的三元结构,是贯穿爱默生文学的"罗格斯"。

The subject pattern, self-poet-philosophy, in Emerson＇s major works corresponds to that of the Bible, Godlike man-Miracles-Oracles. The accumulative power of the subject in the Bible shapes Emerson＇s literary creation. Therefore, the Biblical elements are unconsciously infused into Emerson＇s literary works and it is the Bible that greatly inspires him in the cultural aspect. The summarized subject pattern is not only the comparatively stable structure in his ideology but also the ＂Logos＂ which runs through all of his literature.
