Anne_Bradstreet

Literary works
The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America 《第十位缪斯在美洲出现》 This is Anne’s first publish work. It was taken to London without her knowledge by her brotherin-law, who put the work into the hands of a publisher. She was perhaps too shy to offer it herself. The title of this collection of poems complimented her, in classical allusion, as The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America.
Born in 1612 into a prosperous English family, Anne Dudley was given a wide education uncommon for girls at that time. In 1628 she married Simon Bradstreet, and two years later the couple migrated to North America. Her extensive literary production was managed along with the task of being a wilderness wife and the mother of eight children.
This poem indicates Anne’s belief in Bible. e.g.If ever two were one，then surely we.
(Genesis 2:24) "a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." (Matthew 19:6)"so they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate." 「因此，人要离开父母与妻子连合，二人成为一体。」 （创世纪2：24） 「既然如此，夫妻不再是两个人，乃是一体的了。所 以神所配合的，人不可分开。」（马太福音19:6）
I heard the merry grasshopper then sing.
我听见蚱蜢在欢快地歌唱。 The black-clad cricket bear a second part;
CONTEMPLATIONS
《 沉 思 》
黑翼的蟋蟀也附和出接下来的乐章； They kept one tune and played on the same string, 它们整齐列队，协调着彼此的曲调和唱腔， Seeming to glory in their little art, 在这小小的艺术天国，它们似乎光荣无上。 Shall creatures abject thus their voices raise. 其他生物都低声无语，因而它们的歌声显得分外的高昂。
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.哪位妻子能和我比 I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,即使那座座金矿
也难以和你的爱相比拟
Or all the riches that the Earth doth hold.我对你的爱如此炽热，
2,A repeating theme in Bradstreet's work is mortality. In many of her works, she talks about her own death and how it will affect her children and her life. 3,Some poems are written for her family. 4, Religious devotion
Conclusion
Bradstreet’s finest poems are those closest to her personal experience as a Puritan wife and mother living on the edge of the wilderness. Another theme in Bradstreet’s works was religious experiences. In her writing Bradstreet gives an insight of Puritan views of salvation and redemption.
就像大海永不枯竭
My love is such that river scan not quench,我对你
的爱，江河也没法浇熄
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense. 我
对你的爱如此浓烈，就像江河奔流永不停歇 Thy love is such I can no way repay. 你的爱对我 而言，是世上最好的酬谢 The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray. 但愿你 我之爱天荒地老永不绝 Then while we live, in love let's so persevere 活在 人间爱意绵绵，坚持不懈 That when we live no more, we may live ever.同往 天上真爱之火永燃不灭。
Themes
1，The role of women is a common theme found in Bradstreet's poems. Living in a Puritan society, Women were expected to spend all their time cooking, cleaning, taking care of their children, and attending to their husband's every need. Bradstreet did not agree with idea that women were inferior to men.

And in their kind resound their Maker’s praise,
在那亲切的回响里，它们将造物主赞扬， Whilst I, as mute, can warble forth no higher lays? 可此时，哑然的我难道还能向着前方，宛转地唱出更高层次的绝响？
