如果楼主知道叶芝读过下面这首诗,会不会心情好一点?$ j- l9 C4 m1 l" n
一个天才横空出世,脚下不知道有多少个被当做阶梯的过气天才。龙萨的诗符合文艺复兴的意气风发,现在读来很难代入;叶芝的诗更适合女权意识开始觉醒和高涨的维多利亚时代,现在读来也不过时。* O/ w2 N2 [+ i; ~8 @/ \

原作者龙萨Ronsard是法国首位诗歌王子(相当于英国的桂冠诗人),这首诗写于1552年,明世宗嘉靖三十一年,比光绪年间出道的叶芝早了三百多年。这是他的成名作,叶芝读的应该是法语版,这里就不拿出来了。两首诗的对比,是英语文学课上的一个好题目。网上有位老师布置了这个作业(链接在此),回答很踊跃,也很有启发。最近看了看高考题,要能这么出题,那才是进步。 |
