花开花谢 情深几许——《我漂亮的玫瑰树》、《一朵枯萎的紫罗兰》和《水仙》对比解析

Flowers Bloom and Whither,Could I Love Thee longer?——A Comparative Analysis of “My Pretty Rose Tree”,“On a Faded Violet” and “I Wondered Lonely as a Cloud”

英国浪漫派诗人长于借自然之象诉内心之情。《我漂亮的玫瑰树》、《一朵枯萎的紫罗兰》与《水仙》分别是浪漫派的起点诗人布莱克、"浪漫骑士"雪莱以及"湖畔派"代表华兹华斯的咏花诗。诗人在诗作中借花言情,借三朵"花"吐露出三种不同的爱情观。玫瑰树诉说了布莱克对爱情的忠贞信仰,他的情感世界是纯真的;紫罗兰寄托了雪莱对亡妻的缅怀,他的情感世界是浪漫的;水仙慨叹的是华兹华斯与爱人相思不得见的孤独,他的情感世界纯真的浪漫与浪漫的纯真兼而有之。

English Romantic poets are masters of transmitting natural images into displaying their emotional images. A comparative analysis is undertaken to decipher the emotional world embodied in poems of flowers--＂ My Pretty Rose Tree＂,＂On a Faded Violet＂ and ＂I Wondered Lonely as a Cloud＂ respectively. Blake, as one pioneer of the English Romanticism, injected his belief in eternal love into the flower image ＂rose＂. Shelley, as the Romantic Knight, reminisced the death of his first-love by the flower image ＂violet＂. Wordsworth,the ＂Lake Poet＂ ,voiced his lovesickness and loneliness to the flower image ＂narcissus＂.
