从《露西》组诗中流露的死亡意识看华兹华斯的生命观(英文)

The Awareness of Death as Reflected in Wordsworth's“Lucy Poems”

《露西》组诗中流露着强烈的死亡主题。华兹华斯的死亡意识与他矛盾的自然观有一定的联系。在《露西》组诗中,自然既有慈爱的一面,又有破坏性的一面。华兹华斯对于自然的这种双重性困惑不解。他崇尚自然对人性的净化作用;而又感觉到在自然法则下人生短暂易逝,死亡不可避免却又无可预见。在露西的英年早逝和其带来的孤寂中痛苦挣扎,他最终意识到死亡是生命回归自然的媒介之一。死亡使得生命复归神性,得以在宇宙万物中永生。华兹华斯的这种死亡意识反映了他对生命意义的沉思以及对人生终极走向的关怀。

The ' Lucy poems' are a series of unaffected English verses infused with a strong idea of death.Wordsworth' s awareness of death has certain connection with his ambivalent view of nature.Nature proves to be both benevolent and destructive in these poems.Wordsworth is perplexed by this duality of nature.On one hand,he worships Mother Nature' s purifying effect on human nature;on the other hand,he is tormented by the fragility and transience of life as well as the unpredictability and inevitability of death.In these poems,struggling between Lucy' s untimely death and the painful experience he suffered after her death,he eventually believes that death is one of the medium for life to reunite with nature,thus to attain its divinity and immortality in the universe.Wordsworth' s awareness of death reflects this meditation over the significance of life and his ultimate concern over man' s life.
