158、 柳园里-叶芝


Listen Later

导读:《Down by the Sally Gardens(柳园里)》是叶芝早年的诗作。他的早年诗歌韵律优美,感情细腻,辞藻华丽,象征意味浓郁,明显受到英国浪漫主义和法国象征主义诗歌的影响。

叶芝曾为此诗作过下列注释:“这首诗是根据斯莱戈县巴利索戴尔村里一个经常独自吟唱的老农妇记不完全的三行旧歌词改写而成的”。

这首诗象民歌那样语言质朴,可咏性强。其次,这首诗在时态的运用上也有独特之处。全诗除了最后半行用现在时以外都是用过去时态。淡淡的忧伤中,娓娓诉说出对年轻时挚爱的恋人的无限眷恋。如今面对故园风景,物是人非,徒然感叹岁月的无奈与惆怅。诗歌后被改编为同名爱尔兰民谣广为流传。
