The Raven

The Raven was written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1844. As the best known of Poe’s verse, it narrated a story that a man suffering the pain of losing relatives encountered a raven at a lonely and depressed night. The tone of the verse, miserable and suspicious, derived from irreversible hopelessness. At the same time, the hopelessness was intensified with “Nevermore” from the raven until hopelessness was hard to see.

As the only word of the raven, “Nevermore” was repeated for eleven times. It was th e name of the raven as well as the answer to the author’s every inquiry. The word sounded like irrelevant answer; but it made people think it was very suitable for the situation. It pushed the scene of fantastic dialogue into the philosophic narration on e xistence value. The all that people love most is just like the raven’s noise which will never come back if it is lost.

A deep night in December, dark and cold, is the unbearable psychological portrayal of the narrator. It is this kind of mental state attracted the raven which perched upon a bust of Pallas just above the author’s chamber door. The raven conveyed the message from Hades again and again. At the same time, it took advantage of its’ raucous and harsh word—“Nevermore” to peck the broken heart o f the author. In this way, the author’s soul was settled down into low-floating shadow.

In my mind, I think the verse does well in the following three aspects. Of course, they are worthy for us spending time appreciating it.

Firstly, on the phonological processing, Edgar Allan Poe deeply dug the potential of English on the verse. Except that, he used a lot of alliteration, rhyme and harmonic rhyme. At the same time, he paid much attention on careful arrangement on the sound. In very section, there were a series of short verses composed of a long line. The order of using this way was to change atmosphere for every line. It loyally expressed the author’s sad mood. This way of writing made readers impressive.

Secondly, The Raven modeled two important figures: young man and the raven. The sad man lost his favorite female and attempted to be absorbed in the book in order to forget the hurt. But all he did made a futile effort. The more books he read the

lonelier and sad he felt. However, at midnight, the raven symbolizing death and odiousness stepped into the cabin where the young man usually met with his lover Lenore. In addition to, the poet also modeled two significant images influencing the topic of the poem. The one of was black that the pure color could make people feel happy or dejected. The black background color could make readers feel impressed, and then they could feel the fear and sorrow in the heart of the young man.

“Nevermore” emerging repeatedly could also be seen as a special figure. Except the original meaning of this word, it also had symbolized meaning. When the raven appeared on the scene, the heartbroken man asked its’ name. The answer of the raven was “Nevermore”. But when the mater inquired effective medicine to remove miss for Lenore, the r aven answered by “Nevermore”, as well as the master wondering whether he met Lenore again. Even when the raven was ready to leave the cabin, the “Nevermore” was the only thing that the raven remained. This word made the young man get into eternal abyss.

Thirdly, the scene setting was special. On the introductory part, the readers could see a sad and shrill picture in the depth of night: the gloomy atmosphere, the thrilling scene, the mysterious and depressed man, the inauspicious raven…

In a gloomy and chilly midnight, all was quiet besides the whistle of the cold wind and the voice of turning over the books. The world outside the cabin was enveloped by the deep night while the small space of inside appeared flickered under the dim ray. Suddenly, some one was gently rapping at chamber door. However, when the master opened the door, he founded nothing except relentless night and raging storm. Surprisingly, the previous knock of the door appeared again when he retuned. At the moment, the raven flew into his cabin and perched above chamber door.

Finally, why the author chose midnight as the time of story happening. Midnights mean mystery and terror. And all kinds of ghost and evil usually appeared at midnight. The terrified atmosphere established mood for appearance of the raven. It was special for the poet to set the story in a small and quiet cabin. On one hand, small and closed space contributed to the establishment of isolated and distant Gothic horrible atmosphere. On another hand, the cabin just was throne of two lovers. The cabin was

still same while the laughter gone with hostess’s death. The young man kept watches the cabin and missed his lover. What kind of sadness it was? Setting the scene in this way will arouse resonate in readers’ heart and make the readers show sympathy for the young man.

The Raven is a wonderful poem. It is worthy for us spending time reading.

1. Introduction: Adgar Allan Poe is a productive American writer in 19th century. He played an important role in American literary, especially in the aspect of horror novels. He is considered to be the father of detective story. His stories were full of creative pace and attract readers impressively. With in the middle of 19th century all kinds of realistic schools rising, Poe attained unprecedented popularity. Although he was a famous writer in the literary of romantic period, his thought contained abundant modern meaning. Allan Tate said that for most modern people, Poe seemed like one of our unpopular cousin. Poe was isolated by us, but could not be removed from our mind. This almost was a kind of kin. We had to admitted this relationship: his things was destroyed, in the same way, which threatened us potentially. Another modernist poet Welber also issued the similar view. In the 1959 of his speech The House of Poe, he considered that Poe 's writings really contained abundant modern implied meaning. Poe created entirely new territory, meanwhile his waters was the best one. This thesis analyzed the implicit modern factor in his Gothic tale The Black Cat. So-called modernism is not only a kind of literary trend and literary movement, but is also the expressive form of literary style. Modernism start from the late of 19th century, decline from the middle of 20th century. It included so many literal phoneme, such as expressionism, futurism, surrealism, symbolism, and so on. a deliberate philosophical and practical estrangement or divergence from the past in the arts and literature occurring esp. in the course of the 20th century and taking form in any of various innovative movements and styles. modernism actually is a kind of spiritual realism, which described dreamland and mysterious abstract moment world. Comparing to romanticism, it got rid of too much catharsis, showed more calmness and more reason. For realism, it disclosed the nature of matter and the truth of spirit directly, broke away from phenomenal shackles. In other words, modernism pursued the nature, discovered the mystery of human being 's inner heart, found person 's conscious activity. These pursuits showed so many aspects, also displayed the format of the novels creative, which pursued inner

The Raven中英文赏析

哥特式文学首先盛行于18,19世纪的西方世界,旨在描述发生在充满神秘与恐怖氛围中的传奇经历。许多学者认为,“哥特元素大都运用于小说创作,而诗歌则由于受到情节、节奏与韵律的限制而缺少叙述哥特故事的基础条件” (Tz vetan 25-26)。但部分学者则坚信“哥特元素不仅存在于小说中,在诗歌当中亦可以分外活跃”(刘守兰:55)。作为美国哥特文学大师与先驱,埃德加·爱伦坡的短篇小说以及他的诗作都充满了哥特式的神奇色彩。但是大多数学者仅将研究聚焦于其短篇小说中的哥特研究,而忽视了该元素在其诗歌中也存在的现实。 一、爱伦坡所持的哥特式文学理论 爱伦坡对美好事物的凋零有着强烈的迷恋。追根究底,这还源于他儿时的丧亲之痛,与中年的丧妻之痛。而已逝女子的影子常在他脑海里盘旋,引领他在诗歌王国里翱翔。哥特式风格又恰如其分地被其用于诠释他心底深处的恐惧与压抑。众多作家在描写恐怖情节时,常对外部环境进行大力渲染,而他则更注重对人内心世界的雕琢。他深信“诗歌的最好主题是死亡,尤其是美丽尤物的死亡,将毫无疑问是世界上最具诗意的主题(Poe:133-140)”。他用诗歌践行了自己的写作原则,并将一生都奉献给了这种哀伤的美丽。为更清晰地展现爱伦坡的哥特式写作风格,本文将以《乌鸦》为例并诠释其中所蕴含的死亡之美与哥特式元素。 二、意象塑造 1、人与物的塑造 《乌鸦》塑造了两个重要形象:年轻男子与乌鸦。悲伤的男子刚失去他最爱的女子,他企图沉浸于书以忘却伤痛,但一切都是徒劳,他越看书,越被寂寞与悲痛侵蚀;而象征死亡与不祥的乌鸦却在午夜,飞入这间男子曾常与故去情人蕾诺相会的小屋。此外,诗人还塑造了两个对诗的主旨起重要作用的意象。其一为黑色,“纯色调可使人产生快乐或抑郁之感”(朱立元:489-490)。诗中所连续采用的黑色背景,可使读者感到压抑,从而感受男子心底的恐惧与悲痛。 诗中反复出现的“永远不再”亦可看作一种特殊形象。除该词的原意外,它还具有象征意义。在乌鸦出场时,悲伤的男子问它叫什么名字,乌鸦的回答就是“永远不再”,但当主人翁向乌鸦询问是否有良药以消除他心中对蕾诺的思念时,当他想知道是否能与蕾诺在遥远的天堂再次相会时,以及最后要求乌鸦离开小屋时,乌鸦都是通过“永远不再”作答,也正是这个词,使得男子陷入永恒的悲痛深渊。 2、场景设置 读者可在开篇看到一幅夜半三更的凄厉画卷: 阴森的气氛,令人毛骨悚然的场景,神秘而忧郁的男子,不祥的乌鸦……在阴郁而寒冷的午夜,除寒风的呼啸声与男子翻动书页的声音,周围的一切均可谓万籁俱寂,屋外的世界在夜的面纱笼罩之下,而屋内的狭小空间在昏暗的光线下显得忽明忽暗,突然一阵短暂的敲门声在他房门上叩响,但当他打开房门查看时,却不见敲门人,只有无情的黑夜与肆虐的狂风。然而,当他回到屋内,之前的敲门声却再次响起,乌鸦在这时飞入他的房间,并栖息于他房门之上。 但为何选择午夜作为故事发生的时间?午夜意味着恐怖与神秘,各种幽灵与魔鬼总在此时出没。这种令人发怵的氛围,为乌鸦的出场奠定了基调。诗人将故事设置在一所幽僻而狭小的屋子里也是别有一番用心。首先,狭小而封闭的空间对构建孤僻而隔世的哥特式恐怖气氛有着绝对的帮辅作用。第二,小屋正是两位情侣的爱巢,这个屋子依旧如此,然而曾经的欢笑却随着女主人的香消玉殒而一去不

埃勒里·奎因简介

Who is Ellery Queen? 「仅有两名侦探,在我长年如猎人般缉凶的职业生涯中,令我由衷钦佩…他们已经超越了种族的特异性,以及时空的限制…这两个人,以不可思议的能力面对罕见的非真实世界、惊异及事实真相。一位在众着作中出类拔萃;另一位则和坚持正义公理的警探同属一类…没错,我指的正是这两位名垂不朽的大侦探—伦敦贝克街的夏洛克?福尔摩斯先生和纽约市87街的埃勒里?奎因先生。」 ——《荷兰鞋子的祕密》第一部引言 埃勒里.奎因:一对合写小说的表兄弟所用的笔名 正如他们的一部推理小说《暹罗连体人的祕 密》,埃勒里?奎因这个名字其实是由两个不同的 人组合而成。他们是一对同样出生于1905纽约布 鲁克林的表兄弟,一个叫做佛德列克.丹奈 (Frederic Dannay)曼佛雷德.李(Manfred B. Lee)。 这对表兄弟的共通点,即皆是狂热的推理迷。1928年,他们得知McClure’s杂志举办一个奖金高达7500元的推理小说奖,便决定以「埃勒里?奎因」为笔名写出了第一部长篇小说《罗马帽子的秘密》。就当两人以为获得首奖时,杂志社却忽然宣布破产,买下杂志社的新老板后来也把首奖颁给别人。索性出版公司仍然愿意付给他们1200元的酬劳,在1929年将这本书出版,卖了8000本,算是差强人意。 这对表兄弟笔下的侦探之名恰巧也是埃勒里?奎因,从1930年出版的《法兰西白粉的祕密》开始,奎因也成了活跃于纽约的名侦探。然而在1932年,一个名叫巴纳比?罗斯(Barnaby Ross)的作家出版了《X的悲剧》,罗斯和奎因开始了一场笔战,甚至互相批评对方小说的缺点。不过三年后谜底揭晓,这位罗斯也是这对表兄弟所用的笔名,这对爱搞鬼又有生意头脑的作家彻头彻尾的把推理小说读者玩弄了一番。 这两位表兄弟虽然合写小说,但合作的模式却也有趣。丹奈负责大纲中设计布局、谜团、角色与题材,而李则是将丹奈构思的骨干铺陈细节。这两人性格虽不同,但却能合作无间地揉合包括范达因等古典推理因子,创造出美国推理小说的黄金时期。 埃勒里.奎因:一个美国黄金推理时代的代表人物 从1929年第一本小说出版,一直到1971年最后一本《美好私密之地》,埃勒里恩昆一共写了三十九部长篇小说以及数百个短篇小说。从国名系列、悲剧系列、短篇小说集等,这对表兄弟笔下的故事,继承了爱伦坡、范达因等古典正统推理的路线,亦即以某个谜样的犯罪事件(通尝试诡谲的谋杀,甚至是一连串的谋杀)为始,复杂的线索及

美国文学之爱伦坡

读爱伦·坡的短篇小说 上课时,听到老师讲起萧伯纳曾声称:“美国出了两个伟大的作家——埃德加·爱伦·坡和马克·吐温。” 因自己对爱伦·坡的陌生而深感惭愧,于是拜读了他的部分作品。 《黑猫》作为丝丝入扣、让人不寒而栗的“心理小说先驱”,读来毛骨悚然而又欲罢不能。明明《黑猫》中没有什么强烈的血腥恐怖场面甚至仅是以第一人称絮絮叨叨的讲述一个人杀了一只黑猫,后来另一只黑猫以奇特的方式复仇的故事。全文一字不及幽灵鬼怪,但在描述人內心邪恶的念头时,却令人不寒而栗。《黑猫》具有强烈的哥特式传奇色彩,以绚烂精致的文笔塑造出人内心的恶,以及人内心强烈的矛盾冲突,带给人窒息的紧张感。 爱伦·坡一生写了六七十篇短篇小说,虽然只写了四五篇推理小说,但是举世公认为推理小说的鼻祖。他的代表作《莫格街血案》、《玛丽·罗杰疑案》、《窃信案》和《金甲虫》都被奉为这类小说的先河,对后世起了很大影响。如今很多人认为夏洛克·福尔摩斯的创造者柯南·道尔才是推理小说之父。我也不例外是先拜读的《福尔摩斯侦探集》,并且崇拜着那位睿智的近乎万能的福尔摩斯。然而,当我读了爱伦·坡的《莫格街凶杀案》,却发现只需要粗略地对比一下柯南·道尔的首部作品《血字的研究》与爱伦·坡的《莫格街凶杀案》,就能发现福尔摩斯的形象简直就是爱德加笔下那位西·奥古斯特·杜宾的翻版,甚至连福尔摩斯的助手华生,也跟杜宾的朋友,也就是那个以第一人称描述故事的人称惊人地相似——他们都是以自己的平庸反衬出那位让他们相形见绌的主角是多么的明察秋毫,多么的了不起。更惊人的是,福尔摩斯连出场方式都似乎是照搬杜宾的。甚至这形成了一种侦探小说的模式,即侦探多是具有超人智力、观察入微、料事如神的理想人物,为了衬托他的了不起,又借一个对他无限钦佩、相形见绌的朋友来叙述他的事迹,此外还写了一个头脑愚钝、动机虽好而屡犯错误的警探作为对比,而作案地点一般安排在锁得严严密密的暗室,埋藏赃物罪证则用明显得出人意外的方法,破案过程则用逻辑严谨、设身处地的推理,然后有条不紊的迫使罪犯就范归案,在读者陷入种种谜团时再由主人公洋洋自得、滔滔不绝的解释其全过程。而这一模式在一百四十年来已为全世界各国侦探小说家竞相师法,不少这类作品都是步他後尘,脱不了这个窠臼。没有纠缠烂俗的爱情故事,也没有跌宕起伏的情节,只有抽丝剥茧般严密的纯粹的逻辑推理,这就是爱伦坡的推理小说。而在他的推理小说中,他描写心理和制造诡异气氛的能力也是无与伦比的。让我每每不寒而栗,却又执意的看到最后直至谜题的揭晓。

The Raven(爱伦坡作品)英文读后感

Shavian once claimed that America had bred two magnificent authors, that is, Edgar·Allan·Poe and Mark Twain. After reading Edgar·Allan·Poe’s masterpiece---The Raven, it occurred to me that Allan·Poe lives up to his reputation which is the pioneer in Ameri can literature and representative of American Romantics. Edgar·Allan·Poe, born in a family of acting, has led a miserable life but came up with a great many works of art and have contributed a lot to American literature. Poe once said, “to me, the poem is not a purpose, but a passion.” And this poem—The Raven is a perfect embodiment of his literary theory. To achieve the beauty of rhythm, he adopted the “abcbbb” pattern, and the b rimes, which are based on the constant refrain, “Nevermore.” And every time I finish reading it, I couldn’t resist the excitement of appreciating such an article that blends with the beauty of music. This poem tells a story happened between a weary young man and a raven that kept repeating one single sentence, “Nevermore.” And wit h the raven’s repetition, the rhythm becomes stronger and more pronounced as the poem reaches its emotional climax. Through this story, we can see the grief in Poe after losing his beloved Lenore as well as his excellent skill in writing. Besides, in this poem, “…separate ember wrought its ghost upon the floor…” “the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain” and some other descriptions of the environment build a scene full of sadness

卷I 材料作文:乌鸦模仿老鹰高考优秀作文 赏析 优秀案例:2006年全国卷I高考优秀作文:正确估量自己 生活有时像个迷宫,我们在向着自己理想的方向前进时针因为某些原因而迷失自我。于是我们开始迷惘,从而无法正确的估量自己。而令我们迷失的原因许多时候都是上点点细小而琐碎的事。而许多人都是在自己的贪恋和物欲中迷失。 当一个人有能力的时候,他会依据自己的能力而换取自己想要的东西。然而,每个人的能力都是不同的,我们的举动也应该以自己的能力为基底。因此,我们应当学着如何正确的估量自己。 正确的估量自己就是要看清自己的能力,如果一个人的口头表达能力很弱时,他就不应该强迫自己去做演说家;如果一个人字写的非常难看时,他也不应该强迫自己去做书法家。每个人都有在某方面能力较弱的时候,如果拿自己的弱处去比别人的长处,去做自己做不好的事,即使再怎样努力,都只会事倍功半,最终说不定不仅没成功,还给自己带来空难。而有些人,能正确的估量自己,看到自己在哪方面能力有限,能力不足时,他就不会去挑战自己那仅有的一点点能力,而是在自己在有把握的地方下功夫。 不过不是人人都能做到能正确估量自己的能力,也不是每时每刻都能正确的估量自己。因为当我们看到别人在方面小有成就、小有作为时,难免会发出羡慕的想法;当我们看到自己想要得到的东西时,难免会有那种想要立刻得到的欲望。这种思想和欲望总是会蒙蔽了我们的眼睛,而在此时,我们应该保持理性的心态和心理去面对,我们应该好好地考虑一下我们的能力现在有多少,离这个目标是否还遥远,我们是否有足够的能力去完成它或是得到它。如果不能,我们要到达哪一步才会成功。通过理性的看待自己,再决定自己下一步该如何做,这样的步骤有助于我们正确的评估自己,所以当我们深陷于自己的贪恋、欲望的迷宫时,要理性思考。 也许人人都会走入一个迷宫,当我们走入这个迷宫时,请用理性的眼光来审视自己,用正确的尺度来衡量自己,为自己找到一条走出迷宫的路。

埃德加。爱伦坡 安娜贝尔李唯美性分析

埃德加·爱伦坡诗歌《安娜贝尔·李》的唯美性赏析 摘要:爱伦坡作为19世纪美国唯美主义诗歌的重要代表人物之一,其著名的抒情诗《安娜贝尔李》堪称其巅峰之作。爱伦坡认为诗歌的宗旨就是为了创造美,这首诗歌将作者对美的认知表现的淋漓尽致,实现了内容和形式的完美统一。本文将本诗歌的音韵美,主题美,意象美,语言美几个方面对作品所体现的唯美思想进行分析。 关键词:唯美主义;音韵;意象;语言 埃德加·爱伦坡是19世纪美国著名的诗人、短篇小说家、文学评论家,在整个世界文学界享有盛名。他在波德莱尔和马拉美的介绍下成为欧洲唯美主义运动的先驱,他和奥斯卡瓦尔德一样提倡“为艺术而艺术“的宗旨,独树一帜的倡导诗歌应书写美而摒弃道德因素。爱伦坡的诗歌创作非常注重外在的表现形式,他的诗歌韵律优美,形式简练,用词华丽优美,很好的体现了唯美主义诗歌创作的原则。他追求诗歌的“整体效果”, 并从诗意的“完整性”和诗的效果的统一性出发, 把诗的长度同诗的美学效应联系起来, 并认为诗歌的题材、意象、节奏、谴词、韵律等都应围绕着诗歌的“整体效果”来服务。因此,他的许多抒情短诗形式优美,节奏性强,迄今仍为世人所传诵。 《安娜贝尔李》是爱伦坡死后才得以发表的一首诗,也被认为是悼念其亡妻弗尼吉亚的巅峰之作。爱伦坡一生可谓命途多舛,贫困凄惨。爱伦坡少年时便失去父母,中年丧妻。坡的妻子佛吉尼亚·克莱门是坡的表妹,13岁时便和坡结婚。婚后, 两人生活穷困潦倒, 颠沛流离。克莱门一八四六年患病, 无钱医治, 一八四七年一月三十日离开人世。这让坡肝肠寸断,精神备受打击。此诗便是作者在极度痛苦中对亡妻的一份思念与哀婉。这首诗歌具有极高的美学价值,很多评论家都曾对其大加赞赏。辜鸿铭认为美国无诗, 只有坡的这首《安娜贝尔·李》称得上是诗, 余者皆不足道。他的观点可能会略显偏颇,但这足以展现出了这首的美学价值。 一、行文的音韵美 爱伦坡一直提倡诗歌形式和内容的完美结合。形式美的体现之一便是行文的韵律美感,这首诗音韵优美,悦耳动听,节奏感强。首先主人公名字的选择, 可谓颇具匠心。诗人妻子的名字本是佛吉尼亚·克莱门, 为了追求美的艺术效果 , 用了安娜贝尔·李,她如同悦耳的铃声回荡在耳边 , 这正是作者要达到的铃音袅绕(bell - ringing) 的效果。坡在诗里采用了音韵优美的女子名“Annabel Lee”的美妙音节,不仅使人联想到一位婀娜多姿,风韵优雅的年轻女子,更被诗人巧妙地融入到诗歌的韵律中。诗中的“Annabel Lee”共出现七次,它悠扬如歌的音律“sea”“we”,“me”等单音节词相呼应,构成本诗惟一的韵脚。 此外,此诗冲破了抑扬格五音部的束缚,自由洒脱。诗中大量使用头韵,尾韵和半谐音韵。首先头韵的使用,头韵不简单是一个或两三个单词的重复,它同样表达着诗人丰富的情感和内心世界。如在第四节第一行“The angels,not half so happy in heaven”中

评读余秀华《一只乌鸦正从身体里飞出》

原诗: 《一只乌鸦正从身体里飞出》 如同悖论,它往黄昏里飞,在越来越弱的光线里打转 那些山脊又一次面临时间埋没的假象 或者也可以这样:山脊是埋没时间的假象 那么,被一只乌鸦居住过的身体是不是一只乌鸦的假象?. 所有的怀疑,不能阻挡身体里一只飞出的乌鸦 它知道怎么飞,如同知道来龙去脉 它要飞得更美,让人在无可挑剔里恐惧 一只乌鸦首先属于天空,其次属于田野 然后是看着它飞过的一个人 . 问题是一只乌鸦飞出后,身体去了哪里 问题是原地等待是不是一种主动的趋近 问题是一只乌鸦飞出以后,再无法认领它的黑 ——不相信夜的人有犯罪的前科 . 最后的问题是一副身体不知道乌鸦 飞回来的时刻

赏析: 无论在中外文化中,乌鸦都是一种丑陋,恶心,不吉利的象征,在诗歌世界里也是这样,比 较著名的有美国诗人爱.伦坡的《乌鸦》和法国诗人兰波的《乌鸦》 在这首诗的开头,作者即提出了一个悖论:乌鸦的出现,使时间不断向山脊延伸,又或者是,山脊在不断埋没时间。这里的乌鸦,其实是一种隐喻,结合作者自身的际遇,我们可以理解 为一种身体残疾以及由此引发的种种心理伤害;这里的时间,即指这种伤害的过程;而这里 的山脊,也非实指,更可能是一种世俗的偏见和傲慢。由此作者更进一步提出:“那么,被一只乌鸦居住过的身体是不是一只乌鸦的假象?”即受过这种种不幸的人是否一辈子都要生活在这种阴影中。 第二节,“所有的怀疑,不能阻挡身体里一只飞出的乌鸦/它知道怎么飞,如同知道来龙去脉/ 它要飞得更美,让人在无可挑剔里恐惧”。从这里,我们可以看出作者要把这种因身体疾患引发的心理伤害连根拔去的决心和勇气,以期洗刷掉世俗的偏见给自己带来的耻辱,让世俗在 自己精彩蜕变后“在无可挑剔里恐惧”!接着作者表达了这种期许“一只乌鸦首先属于天空,其 次属于田野/然后是看着它飞过的一个人”在这里“天空”代表自由,“田野”代表领地,“看着它 飞过的一个人”则表达了一种自信。 在第三节中,作者又发出了这样的疑问:即那些可怕的伤害被剔除出身体之后,身体本身又 将如何存在?是一种原地等待般的主动趋近【接近于一个正常人】,还是一种无法再回来的“黑”【完全像一个正常人】“——不相信夜的人有犯罪的前科”一句加深了这种追问。作者认为:那些自诩完美无缺的人,也会有这样那样的弱点或缺点,若他们不认清自身,就会有犯 错的可能。换句话说,就是作者认为自己虽然身有残疾,但通过不懈的努力和加强修养,比 所谓的正常人要活得高尚。 最末一句,即呼应了主题,又提出了新的问题“乌鸦何时会飞回”,即留在身上的污疤或伤害 是否真的会如前所述一去不回,还是会在未来的某个节点再次光顾自身。“金无足赤,人无完人。”也许我们每个人身体里都住着一只乌鸦,它或者会被赶走,但随时也可能再回来。 最后评价:清初诗论家叶燮有言“诗之至处,妙在含蓄无限。思致微渺,其寄托在可言不可言之间,其指归在可解不可解之中”。在这首诗中,作者一改往日的浅白流畅,充分运用了象征,排比,隐喻,多义等多层修辞手法,将乌鸦这一具有多重抽象意义的事物具体化,从而很好 地拓展了诗意和空间,给读者留下大片空白和更多的回旋余地。这比那些一览无余,一眼到 底的诗篇不知要高明多少倍。 华灵 2019/10/29 面朝大海,用黑色的眼睛寻找光明。读睡诗社创办于2015年11月16日,诗社以“为草根诗 人发声”为使命,以弘扬“诗歌精神”为宗旨,即诗的真善美追求、诗的艺术创新、诗的精神愉悦。读睡诗社自成立起,发起了一项重要活动:每年为诗友免费出版合著诗集,这项活动得 到诗友们的大力支持和关注。现已出版诗友合著诗集《读睡诗选之春暖花开》《读睡诗选之 草长莺飞》。诗友们笔耕不辍,诗社砥砺前行,不断推陈出新,推荐优秀诗作,出版优质诗

爱伦坡的《乌鸦》The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe(贾辰阳译)

乌鸦 很久前一个阴郁的午夜,我感到疲惫而又慵懒 一边沉思着那些早已为世人遗忘的离奇书卷 一边又点头连连,睡意恹恹。忽有敲门声回响在耳畔 仿佛有人轻轻地、轻轻地叩响了我的门环 “这是某位来客”,我嘀咕着说,“在把房门叩击 ——仅此而已,别无它事!” 啊!我至今清晰犹记,那是一个凄楚的冬季 每一块儿将尽而未尽的木炭,依然在地板上幽灵般熰燃 我急切地守候着天亮,并且徒劳地希望 能够在书中聊且把悲伤埋葬,为那逝去的丽诺而哀伤 为那天使称其为丽诺的、明净而又唯一的姑娘, ——而今却永远,无以仿佛其形象。 每一个紫色的丝绸窗帘,都发出瑟瑟的低沉哀怨 让我心惊,让我感到前所未有的莫名惶恐 直到现在,我的心仍旧在不停悸动 “这是某位来客,恳请借宿休息 某位晚归的来客,恳请借宿于此 ——仅此而已,别无它事!” 我的心很快变得坚强,不再那么犹豫而又彷徨 “先生?或者是女士”,我说,“我真诚地向您表达歉意 当您前来敲门儿,正好我正在打盹儿 您轻轻地敲门,是如此之轻盈 以至于我不能肯定,我是否真的听清。”于是我把房门打开 ——但见漆黑一片,空无一物存在 我极目向黑暗中张望,长久地矗立着,恐惧而又迷茫 疑虑、冥思,冥思那些无人敢于冥思的问题 然而沉静依然如故,死寂一如其初 唯一听到的话语,是那低声的私语,“丽诺?” 我这么说着,并听到回声从耳旁掠过,“丽诺!” 仅此而已,别无它事。 转身走入房门,心中犹如火焚 更响的敲门声再次响起 “肯定是”,我说,“肯定是什么东西扰动了窗格子 让我去,让我去探清那里的秘密 让我的心稍事平息,好弄清楚这里的底细。” ——是风而已,别无它事。

当我伸手拉开百叶窗,却看到一只乌鸦振动着翅膀 一只远古传说中的庄严的乌鸦从天而降 没有半点的谦恭,没有半刻的暂停 俨然一位夫人或主人,蹲居于我的房门 恰恰蹲居在我的房门之上,栖息于那尊半身的雅典娜塑像 ——就这样蹲居,就这样栖息,仅此而已,别无它事。 我的迷思变成了微笑 皆因这黑鸟阴沉而又冷峻的容貌 “尽管你的鸟冠平坦如剪,你却一定不是懦夫”,我敢断言 “不是阴森可怖的古老乌鸦,飞离于冥夜的海岸 告诉我,在普鲁同的冥夜之岸,该如何把你高贵的名字呼唤!” 乌鸦答曰:“永不复焉。” 这只笨拙的禽鸟居然能够如此直接地听懂话语,这是我始料未及 尽管它的回答毫无意义,荒诞无稽 因为我们不得不承认,没有哪位世人 能有幸看到禽鸟栖息于房门 鸟或兽蹲居于房门之上,雕像之颠 名字唤作“永不复焉”。 但这乌鸦,寂寂蹲居于雕像之上,仅仅说出这一个词汇 如同他的整个灵魂都倾注到了这一词语之内 不闻更多话语,不睹再振羽翼 直到我情不自禁地呢喃:“朋友皆已弃我而去 他也终将飞离,在明天;如同希望曾逝去,在从前。” 乌鸦答曰:“永不复焉”。 如此迅捷的回答击碎了宁静,也让我大吃一惊 “毫无疑问”,我想,“这句话就是他心中储藏的所有内容 获自某一命运多舛的主人,残酷的灾难 纷纷芸芸、接踵而至,直到他的歌声只有一个旋律 直到他的希望之挽歌把此忧郁的主题承担 那就是“永不复焉”。 但这乌鸦依然诱我悲伤的心灵绽放出了微笑 我径直转动软垫座,正对这雕像、房门,和禽鸟 在天鹅绒垫椅中,我开始了思考 幻想接着迷思,思索这古昔不祥鸟叫声之意义 这古昔之冷峻、笨拙、可怖、憔悴的不祥鸟 “永不复焉”,嘶哑啼叫。
