浅析艾米莉·狄金森诗歌中对自然的态度

Attitudes towards Nature in Poems of Emily Dickinson

艾米莉·狄金森的诗歌擅长以含蓄而迂回的简洁语言传达复杂深邃的思想,自然是她诗歌创作中不变的主题。艾米莉·狄金森的自然主题的诗歌可以分为两大类,展示了对大自然截然不同的态度。一方面,受超验主义影响,她歌颂赞美大自然,颂扬人类与自然的和谐相处。另一方面,她揭示大自然的敌意,并表现她对自然神秘和强大能力的恐惧和敬畏,探索人与自然的疏离。这个悖论在她不同性质的诗,甚至在同一首诗都有所表现。分析狄金森自然诗中她对自然的态度,探索她的生活和诗歌本质的主题,可以更好的理解狄金森的内心世界。

Emily Dickinson's poems are of subtle and roundabout brevity, yet her linguistic economy conveys complex ideas. Na?ture is the eternal subject of her poems. Her nature poems fall into two kinds that demonstrate her two opposite attitudes towards na?ture. For one hand, she sings the praises of nature, and celebrates the enjoyable harmony between human and nature. For the other hand, she reveals the hostility of nature, and expresses her fear and awe towards nature's mystery and mighty power. The alienation between the human and nature is also a subject she explores. This paradox is displayed in her different nature poems or even in one poem. This chapter will discuss Dickinson's nature poems from the two aspects. To analyze Dickinson's poems on nature and her at?titudes towards nature and to explore her life and studying the theme of nature of her poems, Dickinson's inner world can be better understood.
