Ezra Pound

Ezra Pound

• Imagism: it’s a poetic movement of England and the U.S flourished from 1909 to 1917. The movement insists on the creation of images in poetry by “the direct treatment of the thing” and the economy of wording. The leaders of this movement were Ezra Pound and Amy Lowell艾米•洛威尔.
The doctrine and poetic practice of a small but influential group of American and British poets calling themselves imagists bewtween 1909-1917. Led at first by Ezra Pound, then after his defection to vorticism by Amy Lowell. Imagism is characterized by the 3 principles: 1. Direct treatment of "the thing", whether subjective or objective 2. To use absolutely no word that does not contribute to the presentation 3. As regards rhythm, to compose in the sequence of the musical phrase, not in the sequence of a metronome节拍器

It offered a new way of writing. The movement was a training school in which many poets learned their first lessons in the poetic art. It helped to open the first page of modern English and American poetry.



The poem is an observation of the poet of the human faces seen in a Paris subway station. It looks to be a modern adoption of the Japanese haiku. He tries to render exactly his observation of human faces seen in an underground railway station. He sees the faces, turned variously toward light and darkness, like flower petals which are half absorbed by, half resisting, the wet, dark texture of a bough. Repeating it, you can have a colorful picture, also you can feel the beauty of music through it’s repetition of different vowels and consonants, such as /p/ and /au/. Especially the repetition of /e/ in the second line emphasize it’s sense of music.

长干行
作者: 李白 妾发初覆额,折花门前剧。 郎骑竹马来,绕床弄青梅。 同居长干里,两小无嫌猜。 十四为君妇,羞颜未尝开。 低头向暗壁,千唤不一回。 十五始展眉,愿同尘与灰。 常存抱柱信,岂上望夫台。 十六君远行,瞿塘滟滪堆。 五月不可触,猿声天上哀。 门前迟行迹,一一生绿苔。 苔深不能扫,落叶秋风早。 八月蝴蝶黄,双飞西园草。 感此伤妾心,坐愁红颜老。 早晚下三巴,预将书报家。 相迎不道远,直至长风沙。

Today, I will introduce a famous poet to you,he is the father of modern poetry ,so ,he is ezra pound.And I will introduce him from the following aspects -----第二张幻灯片1885年10月30日出生于美国爱达荷州的海利镇。

先后就读于宾夕法尼亚州立大学和哈密尔顿大学。

1908年,他搬去欧洲,刚开始在威尼斯后来去了伦敦,在威尼斯他自费出版了自己的第一部短篇诗集《灯火熄灭之时》。

在第二次世界大战前,庞德是意象派的领军人物,嗯,我简要的介绍一下意象派,意象派是1909年至1917年间一些英美诗人发起并付诸实践的文学运动,其宗旨是要求诗人以鲜明、准确、含蓄和高度凝炼的意象生动及形象地展现事物,并将诗人瞬息间的思想感情溶化在诗行中。

它反对发表议论及感叹。

后来庞德加入了漩涡主义的运动。

1914年,他与艺术家多萝西莎士比亚结婚,这是他妻子的画像和他们交往的信件。

1920年,他搬到巴黎,1924年,定居意大利。

在第二次世界大战期间,他支持墨索里尼的法西斯极权主义,为此之后一直在反美电台工作,并与1945年以叛国罪被捕,被押往华盛顿受审,以后他被宣布神经失常而免于受审。

,所以别人将他关在一家精神病院里,一关就关了12年。

在这期间,他翻译了古希腊和中国古代文学的大量作品。

1949年,因为《诗章》他与监狱中被授予博林根诗歌奖,1958年,他回到意大利,在那里他继续写作,翻译直至1972年去世。

这是他在书房中的最后一张照片之一接下来我具体说说他的生平的主要事迹。

作为一名作家,显然,他的一生比其他人坎坷的多。

在巴黎和伦敦期间,他除了除了从事创作外,还发掘和扶植人才,与欧美文学界人士广为交游,为打破英美文学,尤其是英美诗歌的沉寂局面,促进美国文学的“复兴”作出了独特的贡献。

Pound and Imagism
• Pound was fascinated by the idea of an alphabet that represented not only sounds but images.
• He believed that it was possible to approximate(接近于) the same thing in English, and the Imagist poem “Metro(麦德龙)” is an example of his attempt to do so.

庞德在促进中西文化交流方面作了很大努力。他在 长诗《诗章》中阐述孔子学说,在1915年出版的 《中国》中收集并翻译了十几首中国古诗。庞德不 太懂中文,他的译作是由日译本转译的。庞德还曾 译过《大学》、《中庸》、《论语》等。在翻译过 程中庞德得到了华盛顿一些专家学者的帮助,克服 了各种困难。尽管人们可以对译文进行各种指摘, 但庞德毕竟作了前所未有的尝试。除了翻译中国作 品外,庞德也译过包括日本、希腊、意大利文学等 多种语言的外国文学作品。就此而言,庞德也是一 个有成就的翻译家。 庞德最著名的作品,要属意象 派名作《在地铁站内》

Translations
Literary criticism and economic theory
Pound's translations represent a substantial part of his work. He began his career with translations of Occitan ballads奥克语民谣 and ended with translations of Egyptian poetry. Yao says the body of translations by modernist poets in general, much of which Pound started, consists of some the most "significant modernist achievements in English".[159] Pound was the first English language poet since John Dryden约翰·德莱顿, some three centuries earlier, to give primacy to translations in English literature. The fullness of the achievement for the modernists is that they renewed interest in multiculturalism多元文化论, multilingualism, and, perhaps of greater importance, they treated translations not in a strict sense of the word but instead saw a translation as the creation of an original work.
●Pound self-published A Lume Spento<<灯火熄灭之时>>, his
first published collection of short poems, while living in Venice.
●In the years before the World War I, Pound was largely responsible for the appearance of Imagism 印 象 派 , and coined the name of the movement Vorticism (旋涡主义画派)
