华莱士·史蒂文斯诗歌自然观简论

On the View of Nature in the Poetry of Wallace Stevens

华莱士·史蒂文斯是20世纪美国重要的现代诗人。其诗作以抽象著称,并力图展现信仰缺失后现代人的精神探索。史蒂文斯接受上帝已死的事实,并尝试用诗歌和诗意想象力来重建秩序,其中重要的内容即是人类和野性自然的生态联系,具体而言便是借由诗歌的"非理性"和虚构的想象来关照现实和自然。用想像力、直觉,即思想与情感的结合去把握原始真实的世界,完成对于世界的提升与转化。

Wallace Stevens is one of the most important modem poets in 20th century America. His poems are noted for abstractness. He intended to reveal the mental exploration of modem people after they lost their faith. Stevens accepted the fact that the God had died therefore attempted to reconstruct the order with his po- etry and poetic imagination. The ecological connection between mankind and wild nature might be the most im- portant theme in his poetry, i.e. to relocate nature through his poetry and imagination. This thesis tries to ex- plore the interaction between human imagination and nature in Stevens＇ poems, thus to better understand the poetic essence and the nature concept of the poet.
