北村透谷抒情诗意象阐释

On the Imagery of Lyric Poetry of Kitamura Tōkoku

北村透谷的后期创作主要集中于抒情诗。描写对象遵循“地下→地上→空中→露水”的线索,从无眼无鼻的蚯蚓、被抛弃于海底的螃蟹、无家可归的乞丐写到自卑的萤火虫、田野中飞翔的迷途的蝴蝶等。看起来毫不相干的对象,其实正是蝉一生生长过程的写照。通过对不同意象变化过程的分析,不仅阐释了北村透谷笔名“蝉羽”的意义,更揭示了北村透谷政治运动败北后,希望通过文学实现政治理想的心路历程。这是北村透谷在现实生活种种重压之下,充满青春苦闷的体现,也是明治维新后,更加理性地吸收西方文化的时代影响,更是北村透谷始终站在浪漫主义精神解放运动前列的体现,显示了其作为作家的责任感和使命感。

The later works of Kitamura Tōkoku mainly focused on lyric poetry.His description follows the clue of“underground→ground→air→dew”,from earthworms without eyes and nose,crabs abandoned at the bottom of the sea,homeless beggars,self-abased fireflies,and butterflies flying in the fields and so on.The seemingly irrelevant objects are actually the portrayal of cicada’s life growth process.Through the analysis of the change of images,this paper not only explains the meaning of the pen name“Cicada feather”of Kitamura Tōkoku,but also reveals the psychological process of Kitamura Tōkoku’s hope to realize his political ideals through literature after the failure of the political movement.The concern for weak creatures shows his social responsibility and mission as a writer,and it is also the embodiment of his pursuit of romanticism through literature after all kinds of pressures in real life.It is also the era influence of absorbing western culture more rationally after the Meiji Restoration.
