The Jazz Age（爵士乐时代）
• In the 1920s, America became absorbed in making money. The whole society frantically pursued individual "success" and personal enjoyment. • F. Scott Fitzgerald was a most representative novelist of the 1920s. He was both a leading participant in the typically frivolous（轻浮 的）, carefree, moneymaking life of the decade and, at the same time, a detached observer of it.
14行诗英语
14行诗英语The 14-Line PoemPoetry has long been a cherished form of artistic expression, captivating the hearts and minds of readers and writers alike. The 14-line poem, often referred to as a sonnet, holds a special place in the literary landscape, boasting a rich history and a unique structure that has inspired countless poets throughout the ages.At its core, the 14-line poem is a concise and powerful medium that allows the poet to explore a single theme or idea in depth. The traditional structure, which originated in Italy during the 13th century, typically follows a specific rhyme scheme and meter, creating a harmonious and rhythmic flow that carries the reader through the poem's narrative.One of the most striking features of the 14-line poem is its ability to convey complex emotions and ideas within a compact form. The poet must carefully select each word and phrase, crafting a tapestry of language that is both visually and intellectually engaging. The structure, with its three quatrains and a final couplet, provides a framework for the poet to develop a central theme or argument,building towards a climactic resolution or insight.The enduring popularity of the 14-line poem can be attributed to its versatility and adaptability. While the traditional Petrarchan and Shakespearean sonnets have become iconic, poets have also experimented with variations on the form, such as the Spenserian and the Curtal sonnet, each with its own unique twist on the classic structure.In the hands of a skilled poet, the 14-line poem can be a powerful tool for exploring the human experience in all its complexity. From the depths of love and loss to the contemplation of philosophical questions, the sonnet has the ability to capture the essence of the human condition in a concise and captivating manner.One such example is William Shakespeare's famous "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?", a timeless ode to the enduring power of love. In just 14 lines, Shakespeare weaves a tapestry of imagery and emotion, comparing the beauty of his beloved to the fleeting nature of summer, and ultimately proclaiming the immortality of love through the enduring medium of poetry.Similarly, John Keats' "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer" is a masterful exploration of the transformative power of literature. Through vivid descriptions and a sense of awe, Keats transports thereader to the moment of discovery, when the beauty and wonder of Homer's epic poetry is revealed to him for the first time.The 14-line poem has also been a favored form for poets exploring more abstract or philosophical themes. In "Ozymandias," Percy Bysshe Shelley presents a powerful meditation on the transience of human power and the inevitable decay of empires. By juxtaposing the towering grandeur of a once-great ruler with the desolate reality of his fallen kingdom, Shelley crafts a poignant commentary on the fleeting nature of human ambition and the enduring power of art.Beyond the traditional themes of love, nature, and philosophy, the 14-line poem has also been used to address social and political issues. In "Nuns Fret Not at Their Convent's Narrow Room," William Wordsworth offers a reflection on the power of constraint and limitation, suggesting that it is within the confines of form that true creativity and insight can flourish.In the contemporary era, the 14-line poem continues to captivate and inspire new generations of poets. From the haunting lyricism of Sylvia Plath's "Daddy" to the intricate wordplay of Seamus Heaney's "Digging," the sonnet form remains a vital and enduring part of the literary landscape.As we delve into the rich tapestry of the 14-line poem, we arereminded of the timeless power of language to express the full range of human experience. Whether exploring the depths of emotion or the complexities of the human condition, the sonnet remains a testament to the enduring artistry of poetry and the enduring fascination of the written word.。

Chinese Version 春 春，甘美之春，一年之中的尧舜， 处处都有花树，都有女儿环舞， 微寒但觉清和，佳禽争着唱歌， 啁啁，啾啾，哥哥，割麦、插一禾！ 榆柳呀山楂，打扮着田舍农家， 羊羔嬉游，牧笛儿整日价吹奏， 百鸟总在和鸣，一片悠扬声韵， 啁啁，啾啾，哥哥，割麦、插一禾！ 郊原荡漾香风，雏菊吻人脚踵， 情侣作对成双，老妪坐晒阳光， 走向任何通衢，都有歌声悦耳， 啁啁，啾啾，哥哥，割麦、插一禾！ 春！甘美之春！ （郭沫若 译）
Appreciation The lyric portraits a lively scene of spring and expresses the joy brought by spring. The poet compares spring to the year’s pleasant king that views a harmonious picture of human and nature in the spring. Different kinds of people enjoy a leisurely and comfortable life in the beauty of spring. Simple and plain as the language is, the poem eulogizes the sweet spring with ingenious words, abundant images and concordant rhythms. What’s more, the poet employs various onomatopoeias to imitate the different sounds of some animals, which makes the poem vivid and imaginative.

《英语诗歌欣赏》课程教学诗选Types of PoetryUnit one NatureThe PastureRobert Frost (1874–1963)I’M going out to clean the pasture spring;I’ll only stop to rake the leaves away(And wait to watch the water clear, I may):I shan’t be gone long.—You come too.I’m going out to fetch the little calfThat’s standing by the mother. It’s so young,It totters when she licks it with her tongue.I shan’t be gone long.—You come too.牧场罗伯特·弗罗斯特 (1874–1963)我去清一清牧场的泉水，我只停下来把落叶全耙去（还瞧着泉水变得明净—也许）；我不会去得太久。
—你也来吧。
我去把那幼小的牛犊抱来，它站在母牛身边，小得可怜，一摇一晃，当母牛给她舔舔；我不会去得太久。

（方平译）DaffodilsWilliam Wordsworth (1770-1850)I wondered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high o'er vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd,A host, of golden daffodils;Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shineAnd twinkle on the Milky Way,They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay:Ten thousand saw I at a glanceTossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced, but they Out-did the sparking waves in glee:A Poet could not but be gayIn such a jocund company:I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lieIn vacant or in pensive mood,They flash upon that inward eyeWhich is the bliss of solitude;And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.咏水仙威廉华兹华斯(1770-1850)我好似一朵孤独的流云，高高地飘游在山谷之上，突然我看见一大片鲜花，是金色的水仙遍地开放，它们开在湖畔，开在树下，它们随风嬉舞，随风波荡。
英语诗歌欣赏 重庆大学版 课后思考题答案
Suggested Answers to QuestionsAnnabel Lee1. Who was the prototype of Annabel Lee?There has been a debate for many years over who, if anyone, was the prototype of “Annabel Lee”. Though many women have been suggested, Poe’s wife Virginia Eliza Clemm Poe is one of the more credible candidates: she was the one he loved as a child, and the only one that had been his bride, and the only one that had died. And at the same time, some believed that Annabel Lee was merely the product of Poe’s gloomy imagination and that Annabel Lee was no real person.2. What kind of love is kept in the speaker’s heart?It is really hard to define the love in this poem. It may be the love between lovers. But whatever the love is, it is the love that is stronger than common love and it is beyond what words can express.3. Point out the destructive forces in this poem. How do they act in the great love between the speaker and Annabel Lee?➢The wingéd seraphs of Heaven, wind, highborn kinsmen, demons under the sea.➢The speaker believes that the angels in Heaven envied their love so much that the wind came to make her ill and killed her, and herhighborn kinsmen came to take her away.4. Where does the poem’s mood rise to a high point of defiance?The fifth stanza:But our love it was stronger by far than the loveOf those who were older than we–Of many far wiser than we–And neither the angels in Heaven aboveNor the demons down under the sea,Can ever dissever my soul from the soulOf the beautiful Annabel.5. Why do we find the poem has qualities of a fairy tale?In this poem, we can find many images that usually appear in fairy tales, i.e., demons under the sea and angels in the heaven. The speaker mentions them in the poem and relates them with the death of Annabel Lee. The speaker imagines a kingdom by the sea which also appears frequently in fairy tales.6. The lines of the poem are mainly anapestic. Is this metrical pattern properly used to help reveal the theme?The anapestic shows the sad mood of the speaker. This metrical pattern is in fact a traditional method in the writing of a pathetic poem.A Psalm of Life1. What is the speaker’s view of life? On what is special emphasis laid by him?We should not think about the past and worry about the future. What we should do is to make full use of the present and be optimistic. The poet puts a special emphasis on the action of people. He advocates that people should act and proceed in the present to make life better.2. The lines of the poem are written in trochee. Study the musical effect of this metrical pattern?A trochee is a metrical foot used in formal poetry consisting of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one.The lines in trochee usually produce a strong heartbeat and make the reader highly spirited.3. In the poem Longfellow keeps using feminine rhyme in the odd-numbered lines and masculine rhyme in the even-numbered lines. What is the musical effect?Feminine rhymeA rhyme occurring on an unaccented f inal syllable, as in “dining” and “shining” or “motion” and “ocean”. Feminine rhymes are double or disyllabic rhymes and are common in the heroic couplet.Masculine rhymeA rhyme occurring in words of one syllable or in an accented final syllable, such as “light” and “sight” or “arise” and “surprise”.The use of both feminine rhyme and masculine rhyme in the poem make the poem high-sounding and melodious.The Night Has a Thousand Eyes1.What does the speaker mean by saying “the mind has a thousand eyes”?“The mind has a thousand eyes” means the mind can learn things and can express different ideas. Comparing the second stanza with the first one, we can safely infer that the heart is more important than the mind in the speaker’s opinion.2.How does he use metaphors to express his love towards life and his beloved?In the first stanza, the metaphor “the night has a thousand eyes” refers to the twinkling stars. The one eye of the day is the sun. In the second stanza, the metaphor “the mind has a thousand eyes” refers to the minds which can learn and express. T he one eye of the heart is the love. The comparison in the two stanzas is clear - the mind to the heart is what the stars are to the sun, the latter ones are more important than the previous ones.3. Study the poem’s stanzaic form and rhymes.The poem consists of only 2 stanzas of four lines each, and these two stanzas are in parallel structure. This poem has a simple rhyme scheme of A/B/A/B. The first and third lines rhyme with each other while the second and fourth lines rhyme.I Died for Beauty1. This poem may have derived its idea from Keat’s famous line: “Beauty is truth, truth beauty”. Do you think the two are closely related?“Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty” is a quotation from Keats’s poem “Ode on a Grecian Urn”. In Dickinson’s poem she adopts Keats’s romantic idea of truth and beauty. She imagines that two people are buried in “adjoining” rooms. Though they die for different reasons, they treat each other as “brethren”and “kinsmen”. These descriptions can give us an impression that they are similar but not identical.It is understandable that sometimes, the truth is not as beautiful as we have expected.2. Study the half rhymes in this poem.Half rhyme is also called slant rhyme, near rhyme, oblique rhyme, off rhyme, or imperfect rhyme. It means the final consonants of stressed syllables agree but the vowel sounds do not match. It was only used occasionally in English verse until the late 19th century, when Emily Dickinson and G. M. Hopkins made frequent use of it. In the 20th century half rhyme was adopted widely by English poets.3. What can you imply from the last stanza?In the last stanza, the two neighbours do not talk anymore as the moss “reached” their “lips” and “covered up” their “names”. With this image, the weakness of human beings is shown, because all will be forgotten and death conquers all.Still I Rise1.How do you understand the “you” in this poem?“You” represent those who repress the black in general.“You” treat those blacks as an inferior race and make them suffer.2. How do you understand the “I” in this poem?Here, as the speaker of the poem, “I” have a close relationship with the poet herself. It seems that Maya Angelou describes her own personal feelings in the poem. As a member of the black race, she describes struggles faced by black people or women or any submerged group, and she also tells us her own rise above her painful past.3. What is the tone of this poem?The tone of the poem is encouraging, inspiring, optimistic and passionate.Ah, Are You Digging on My Grave1.The dialogue between two contrasting voices is intended to create irony. To whomdo the voices belong?The first speaker is a dead woman, and the second speaker is her little dog.2. Why is the identity of the second speaker not immediately revealed?The dead woman believes that someone she loved or hated is there at her grave: her husband, her closest of kin and even her enemy. But to her disappointment, none of them can still remember her at the present. When she knows that it is her dog at her grave, she praises it for its fidelity. However, at last, when the poet reveals the second speaker, he really prepares a surprising ending for the readers.3. What theme gradually emerges as each of the first speaker’s guesses proves false?The central theme of this poem is that no love or hate outlasts death. The poem also reflects the coldness lying in the human relationship.4. Why is it ironical when the first speaker praises “A dog’s fidelity” (Line 30)?Before she realizes it is her dog beside her grave, she thinks it must be someone who really cares and loves her, including her husband, relatives or at least enemies. Unfortunately, it turns out that the result fails her: none of her close human beings cares her. When she finally knows that her pet dog is standing on her grave but has forgotten her, the poem becomes ironical.All the World’s a Stage1. Study the metaphors used in this selection. Are they wise enough?Metaphors in this selection are used skillfully. The speaker wisely compares the transitory human life to a stage where a show is presented and each of us has to play seven roles before descending the stage.These seven roles are also seven vividly-employed metaphors, which can be regarded as the most typical image in one’s lifespan.2. What is the third stage? Why is it a stage of sighs and sad ballads?The third stage is the period of love. It is a stage of sighs and sad ballads because there are more loves lost than loves gained.3. Why does Shakespeare call the last stage “the second childishness”?Shakespeare explained the second childishness as “sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything”. It is the last s tage of life in which man gradually grows into senility when his mental and physical health dramatically deteriorates, just like a withered flower. He cannot look after himself; instead he has to rely on somebody else, namely his children. Like an infant, he loses the ability to be independent, so hefeels insignificant as a weak, old thing.A Narrow Fellow in the Grass1.What theme do you conclude from this poem?“A Narrow Fellow in the Grass” shows the contrast between what appears to be and what really is. Dickinson describes the snake by hinting at what it resembles. In the whole poem, there is a split between what it appears to be and what it actually is.2. Study the metaphors used in this poem. What do they imply?In this poem the poet carefully describes the snake as “a narrow fellow” without direct depiction. Several metaphors are used.3. What effects might be achieved according to your appreciation, when some words in the middle of lines, such as “A narrow Fellow in the Grass”, are capi talized?Capitalized words obviously catch the reader’s attention because they leave a more profound impression on the reader. For example, the word “Fellow” is linked with a human being, and it may have a special meaning when it is capitalized. By capitalizing “Fellow” and “Grass”, the poet may arouse the reader’s curiosity and imagination.In a Station of the Metro1. Why has this little poem been considered a classic of Imagist Poetry?The poem was first published in 1913 and is considered one of the leading poems of the Imagist tradition. Written in a Japanese haiku style, Pound’s process of deletion from thirty lines to only fourteen words typifies the Imagist’s focus on economy of language, precision of imagery and experiment with non-traditional verse forms.2. Compare this Imagist poem and the following two Chinese poems. Which one is better, the English one or the Chinese ones?Open for discussion.Anecdote of the Jar1. The jar stands in contrast to the wilderness. Why is t he wilderness “slovenly”? And why “no longer wild”?The jar symbolizes the human world or the human power. The wilderness refers to the natural world. The wilderness is “slovenly” because it is contrasted against the human world and it has not been rem oulded by human power. However, it is “no longer wild” because “the wilderness rose up to it (the jar)”. It has been reconstructed by man into order.2. What is the theme of this poem?In the poem Stevens describes a Tennessee long before human beings lived there.It is in this free natural world that the poet sees as the stage against which man battles nature for supremacy.3. What does the “jar” in this poem symbolize?The jar in the poem symbolizes the human world or the human power.A Red, Red Rose• 1. What does the rose stand for?• 2. How does the poem’s speaker express his love?• 3. Similes and hyperboles are two major figures of speech used in this lyric.Point them out and state their function here.• 4. Why is the 7th line repeated in the 8th line? Is it monotonous?• 5. What is a ballad? Study the rhyme scheme and metrical pattern of this lyric, and compare it with a ballad.• 1. The rose stands for the poet’s love.• 2. In the first stanza the speaker compares his love to a rose and melody; in the second stanza the speaker uses hyperbole to advocate his strong affection to his love; finally the passionate feeling turns to reality. The feeling rises gradually, but it is very impressive and striking.• 3. The first stanza of the poem is a fine example of the usage of simile. The poet compares his love to a red rose and a sweet melody, which shows the sweetness of the youthful energy and natural beauty of his love.•The third stanza uses hyperboles to emphasize the young man’s strong love for his sweetheart. Even though the seas go dry and the rocks melt, his love could never perish.• 4. It is not monotonous. This method can be regarded as repetition which aims to strengthen the effect and make a smooth transition to the following stanza.• 5. A ballad is a poem that tells a fairly simple story (narrative). It usually has an identifiable, powerful metre and strong rhymes in an ABAB or AABB pattern. Some ballads are also set to music. Some ballads are highly descriptive narratives based on heroism or folklore; some are narratives of suffering and love lost; some just tell a humorous story. In modern music, “ballad” has come to refer to a slow, melodic, emotional song.The Last Rose of Summer• 1. What do the rose and the poet respectively sigh for?• 2. W hat does the poet mean by saying “friendships decay”?• 3. What do the gems stand for?• 1. The rose sighs for i ts loneliness as the last rose of summer and the withering of its companions. The poet signs for the decay of friendship and the death ofhis beloved.• 2. “Friendships decay” is in fact an euphemism of the death of friends.• 3. The gems stand for the true love, which the poet values the most. The poet Moore once met a girl with the name of Lena Angle who encouraged him with his works and they became very close. Although she was said to have fallen in love with him she suddenly disappeared. In his search for her Moore found that she had died just days before. Therefore, the gems may probably refer to this girl.Ode to the West Wind• 1. This ode has a rigid metrical pattern and rhyme scheme. Do they harm the expression of the poet’s passion?• 2. Many run-on lines are used in this ode. Do they help to convey the image of the wild west wind?• 3. Analyze the structure of this ode so as to see its development.• 4. In what sense is the west wind both “destroyer and preserver”?• 5. Whose “new birth” do you think the poet wishes to bring about?• 6. What is the relationship between the west wind and the poet?•7. What does the west wind symbolize in this ode?• 1. E ach of the seven parts of “Ode to the West Wind” contains five stanzas—four three-line stanzas and a two-line couplet, all in iambic pentameter. The rhyme scheme in each part follows a pattern known as terza rima, the three-line rhyme scheme employed by Dante in his Divine Comedy.In the three-line terza rima stanza, the first and third lines rhyme, and the middle line does not; then the end sound of that middle line is employed as the rhyme for the first and third lines in the following stanza. The final couplet rhymes with the middle line of the last three-line stanza. Thus each of the seven parts of “Ode to the West Wind” follows this scheme: ABA BCB CDC DED EE.•The wispy, fluid terza rima of “Ode to the West Wind” finds Shelley takinga long thematic leap beyond the scope of “Hymn to Intellectual Beauty,” andincorporating his own art into his meditation on beauty and the natural world.• 2. The run-on lines in this ode are skillfully used to create the tempestuous image of the west wind.• 3. The poem can be divided in two parts: the first three cantos are about the qualities of the ‘Wind’ and each ends with the invocation ‘Oh hear!’ The last two cantos give a relation between the ‘Wind’ and the speaker. The poem begins with three cantos describing the wind's effects upon earth,air, and ocean. The last two cantos are Shelley speaking directly to the wind, asking for i ts power to lift him like a leaf, a cloud or a wave and make him its companion in its wanderings. He asks the wind to take his thoughts and spread them all over the world. The poem ends with an optimistic note: If winter daysare here then spring is not very far.• 4. Shelley talks of the wind as a "Destroyer and Preserver“. He sees a shift of the clouds which warns of an upcoming storm. He then writes of the mourning song "Of the dying year, to which this closing night/ Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre/ Vaulted with all they congregated might" (23-25). The "closing night“ here is used to mean the final night. Shelley shows how he cannot have transcendence even in an open sky for even the sky is a "dome." The "sepulchre" is a tomb made out of rock and his imagination and the natural world will be locked and "Vaulted" tight. But in following lines Shelley writes how this "sepulchre" will "burst" (28). In that sense, "Vaulted"takes on the meaning of a great leap and even a spring. Shelley seems to use obtuse phrasing to frighten the reader and to show the long breath of the wind.He wants the reader to visualize the "dome" as having a presence like a volcano. And when the "dome" does "burst," it will act as a "Destroyer and Preserver". The use of the words "Black rain and fire and hail..." (28) helps the reader prepare for the apocalyptic climax.• 5. To “quicken a new birth” is to quicken the coming of the spring. Here the spring season is a metaphor for a “spring” of human consciousness, imagination, liberty, or morality—all the things Shelley hoped his art could help to bring about in the human mind.• 6. Shelley asks the wind to be his spirit, and in the same movement he makes it his metaphorical spirit, his poetic faculty, which will play him like a musical instrument, the way the wind strums the leaves of the trees. In this poem, Shelley explicitly links nature with art by finding powerful natural metaphors with which to express his ideas about the power, import, quality, and ultimate effect of aesthetic expression.•7. In this ode, the west wind symbolizes a power of change that flows through history, civilization, and human life itself.S hall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day• 1. How does the poet answer the question he puts forth in the first line?• 2. What makes the poet think that “thou” can be immortal and more beautiful than summer?• 3. How is this sonnet structured?• 4. Is this sonnet a strict Shakespearean sonnet?• 1. The poet answers the question directly, “thou art more lovely and more temperate”. And by c omparison, the poet lists some negative things about summer: it is short—“And summer’s lease hath all too short a date”, and sometimes the sun is hot—“Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines”.However, the beloved has beauty that will last forever, unlike the fleeting beauty of a summer’s day.• 2. In the poet’s point of view, the poet thinks the exterior beauty can’t existlong, as time goes on, this transient beauty will disappear. But the charms of a poem will last forever, no matter what would happen.• 3. “Sonnet 18” is a typical English or Shakespearean sonnet. It consists of three quatrains followed by a couplet, and has the characteristic rhyme scheme: abab cdcd efef gg. The poem carries a volta, or shift in the poem's subject matter, beginning with the third quatrain.• 4. This sonnet is a strict Shakespearean sonnet, also called English sonnet, consisting of three quatrains with the rime scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF and a couplet with the rime GG.How Do I Love Thee• 1. What are the three figures of speech in this sonnet? How are they used?• 2. Use several adjectives to describe the love expressed in this sonnet.• 3. The following poem was a popular song of China’s Han Dynasty (206B.C.-220). Compare it with this sonnet. How do they match in intensity?• 1. The poet uses simile, parallelism and climax in this sonnet. The dominant figure of speech in the poem is parallelism. The repetition of t he words “I love thee” builds rhythm while reinforcing the poet’s love.• 2. Love expressed in this sonnet is passionate, deep, brave, pure, and sacred.• 3. The most striking rhetorical feature of this Chinese poem is hyperbole.Open for discussion.I Hear America Singing• 1. Explain what Whitman is hearing in this poem. What kinds of workers does he name?• 2. Find the adjectives the poet uses in describing the people and their songs.What do they suggest?• 3. What is the theme of the poem?• 4. What is the keynote of the poem?• 5. The poem is just a single sentence. What is the significance?• 1. Whitman is listening to America’s singing—the working songs. He names various kinds of workers in the poem: mechanics, the carpenter, the mason, the boatman, the deckhand, the hatter, the ploughboy, the shoemaker, the woodcutter, the mother, the young wife and the girl. These words conjure images of the working class society. This is the majority of Americans. These people are the ones contributing to America with their productive labor.• 2. The poet uses adjectives like “strong”、“blithe” 、“delicious” and “melodious” to describe the song, and he uses “robust” and “friendly” to describe the people.•Phrases such as "blithe and strong," "delicious singing," and "strong,melodious songs" appeal to the imagination with the strength of men intermingled with the beauty of song.Whitman is articulating his view of America as a group of strong people who are beautiful for the work they perform.• 3. In the poem, the poet envisions a country of people working for the greater good of mankind.These people come together as part of the whole society developing industry and production. Each person has a different occupation, but each job is important. So the poem shows the poet’s ideal of a nation: everyone is working together to create a successful and harmonious civilization.• 4. The keynote of the poem is optimism. Whitman's attitude toward Americans is uplifting and positive. He praises Americans and the hard labor they perform. He sees America as a promising land where each person is unique, but united (line 8 "Each singing what belongs to [her] and to none else”8). He praises the work values and ethics of the American people. He depicts a country of people who work hard, yet through the hard work, they enjoy the fruits of their labors ( line 9 "The day what belongs to the day At night, the party of young fellows, robust, friendly”).• 5. This poem demonstrates typical techniques of Whitman. Although there is no end rhyme, we hear a sense of melody in his chiming repetitions and a rhythm in the length of his lines that substitutes for the metrical pattern we expect in conventional poetry. Line one announces the main metaphor.Individual Americans doing their various jobs are a harmonious chorus of happy, proud, creative workers. The whole poem is one sentence; it can be regarded as a continuous song or chorus.The Negro Speaks of Rivers• 1. Consider the clause “when dawns were young” in Line 5. Does it suggest early human civilization?• 2. Four rivers and one person are mentioned by the Negro speaker. Why?• 3. Consider the tone of the Negro speaker. Is it sad, melancholy, proud, or anything else?• 4. In what way has his soul grown deep like the rivers?•• 1. The Euphrates is considered a cradle of human civilization. The speaker of the poem claims to have "bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young."Thus the voice begins at the origin of civilization.• 2. The rivers are part of God's body, and participate in his immortality. They are the earthly analogues of eternity: deep, continuous, and mysterious.The speaker and the rivers have become one. The magical transformation of the Mississippi from mud to gold by the sun's radiance is mirrored in the transformation of slaves into free men by Lincoln's Proclamation. As the rivers deepen with time, so does the black man's soul; as the rivers ceaselessly flow,so will the black soul endure.• 3. The speaker feels proud of himself and his ancestors.His soft voice contains a firm faith in man.• 4. The poem t races the movement of black life from the Euphrates and the Nile to the Mississippi. The speaker identifies himself and his blackness with the first human beings. The last line of the poem suggests that the speaker is no longer the same man who “bathed in the Euphrates” and “built [his] hut near the Congo.” He is now a black man who has experienced the pain of slavery and racism and the joy of emancipation movement, and his soul now bears the imprint of these experiences.40-Love• 1. What is suggested in the title? What are the significances of 40 and the hyphen in the title?• 2. How is the poem shaped? Does it suggest the poem’s meaning?• 3. How is it possible that a net will “still be between them”?• 4. Look carefully at the positioning of the words in this poem. What happens to the reader’s eyes as the poem is read?• 1. The title suggests that the content of the poem is about love at the age of 40.The hyphen in the title indicates the hedges between the age and this romantic feeling. "40-Love" is a semantic pun here. It can be understood as "love at 40 years of age“, while on the other hand, it suggests a tennis competition that will soon finish.• 2. The form of the poem seems like a tennis court. The line between the words represents the net of the tennis court, and it's a symbol of alienation. It suggests that the middle-aged couple's marriage is like a tennis match which is lack of suspense. Playing around the net seems to have become a habit, which is lack of vitality.• 3. The poem implies the so-called "mid-life crisis" when the collapse of marriage is easy. As time goes on, the passion has faded, and the marriage life turns to be pale, hence the crisis comes.• 4. At the first sight, it’s easy to find key words like “tennis” and “between”thoug h they are divided. The normal sentence order should be “Middle aged couple playing tennis when the game ends and they go home the net will still be between them.” However, the form of the poem is unusual, so is the sentence order. Poetry variant aims to create a "highlight" effect, increasing the performance of poetry. Variations in the language are used to impress readers, bringing joy to them with vast space left for imagination at the same time. Readers’ eyes jump over the net just as the tennis players do.L(a• 1. What is the connection between what appears inside and outside the parentheses in the poem?• 2. What is the theme of the poem? How does the poem’s shape contribute to its theme?• 3. What are the ways in which E. E. Cummings uses formal elements in the poem to communicate a feeling of loneliness to his readers?• 1. The single leaf falling is a metaphor for both physical and spiritual isolation.Loneliness is like a falling leaf, or the feeling of loneliness is the feeling a man gets when he watches a single leaf falling.• 2. Loneliness is like a falling leaf, or the feeling of loneliness is the feeling a man gets when he watches a single leaf falling. It is easy to think of autumn (fall), the end of the growing season, or the death of the year, because in the autumn of a man's life death is a lonely business. The form of the poem does fosters an attitude of internalization, of drawing attention to itself as an artifact,a work of art.• 3. To begin with, the poem dribbles down the page, at once suggesting the descent of a falling leaf, while also visually resembling the figure "1", or a vertical stroke on a page. The reader's progress is slowed down by the shattered syntax, and the reader's eye is forced into a similar movement as that when watching a descending leaf, both finally coming to a rest on the "ground" ("iness"—the longest and last line). We see that the poem is organized into stanzas of alternating lines of 1-3-1-3-1, whilst the first four lines alternate vowels / consonants, both indicating, perhaps, the twisting motion of the leaf as it falls. The parentheses aid this twisting movement, showing first, descent one way, then another. The downward movement is enhanced by lines 5 ("ll") and 8 ("l"), which can be seen as visually enacting the journey. Without even reading the words, the reader is drawn toward one of the main themes of the poem—that of "one." It is no surprise that this poem was the first poem in Cummings' book 95 Poems and was numbered "I", further impressing the main theme upon the reader. Furthermore, in the original printing of 95 Poems (1958), "l(a" appeared opposite a blank page—thus at once suggesting the loneliness explicit in the poem—while all other poems except the last appeared in twos. The twenty-three characters (including the title) seemed lost, overwhelmed by the white space, and one's eyes are automatically drawn to the fragile construction. Metaphorically, then, the poem enacts the vastness of space and the smallness of man within that space. This has existential undertones and implicitly suggests another theme of the poem—that of death (autumn).。

以下是莎士比亚的一首14行诗：
From faire Amoret,of beauty so bright,
That men’s eyes did看涨,
Her look could both wound and heal,
But yet her heart was cold as steel.
Her lips were like roses red,
Her eyes like stars so bright,
Her hair like gold most richly shed,
But yet her heart was cold as death.
And all the loves that to her were laid,
She turned away with careless head,
For she cared for none but only praise,
And yet her heart was cold as stone.
But when she saw that she was grown old,
And her beauty was no more,
Then she wept and said,“Alas!
For I have loved and had no love.”
这首诗以美丽而冷酷的Amoret为主题，描述了她的美貌和冷漠，以及她对爱情的漠视和对赞美的追求。

英语十四单元的范文
英语十四单元的范文The fourteenth unit of my English course has been quite challenging, but also very rewarding. Throughout this unit, we have delved into various aspects of English literature, language, and culture, which have broadened my understanding and appreciation of the English language. In this essay, I will discuss my experiences and insights gained from this unit, as well as the difficulties and successes I have encountered along the way.First and foremost, the literature component of this unit has been incredibly enriching. We have had the opportunity to explore a wide range of literary works, including poems, short stories, and novels. One particular piece that resonated with me was the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. This poem not only captivated me with its vivid imagery and thought-provoking theme, but it also sparked deep contemplation about the choices and paths we take in life. Through our discussions and analysis of this poem, I gained a deeper understanding of the power ofliterature to evoke emotions and provoke introspection.In addition to literature, the language aspect of this unit has also been quite challenging. We have been introduced to complex grammar rules, idiomatic expressions, and advanced vocabulary. As a non-native English speaker, I have found these aspects to be particularly demanding. However, through diligent practice and the guidance of my teacher, I have been able to improve my language skills significantly. I now feel more confident in my ability to express myself fluently and accurately in English, which is a major achievement for me.Moreover, the cultural component of this unit has been eye-opening. We have explored various aspects of English culture, including traditions, customs, and social norms. One topic that particularly fascinated me was the concept of "British politeness" and the importance of etiquette in British society. Learning about these cultural nuances has not only expanded my knowledge but has also made me more aware and respectful of cultural differences. It has also made me realize the significance of cultural understandingand sensitivity in effective communication.Despite the enriching experiences, I have also encountered some difficulties throughout this unit. One of the main challenges I faced was the sheer volume of reading and assignments. The literature component, in particular, required a substantial amount of reading and analysis,which at times felt overwhelming. Balancing this workload with other academic and personal commitments was a struggle, and there were moments when I felt stressed and fatigued. However, I have learned to manage my time more effectively and seek support when needed, which has helped me overcome these challenges.On the other hand, there have been many successes and accomplishments throughout this unit. One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to participate in group discussions and presentations. Engaging in meaningful conversations with my peers and sharing our interpretations of literary works was both intellectually stimulating and enjoyable. It not only enhanced my critical thinking and communication skills but also fostered a sense ofcamaraderie and mutual learning within the class. Additionally, I have received positive feedback on my writing and analysis, which has boosted my confidence and motivation to continue improving.In conclusion, the fourteenth unit of my English course has been a transformative journey filled with valuable lessons and experiences. From delving into the depths of English literature to grappling with the intricacies of language and culture, I have gained a deeper appreciation for the richness and complexity of the English language. Despite the challenges, the rewards have been immeasurable, and I am grateful for the growth and learning opportunities this unit has provided. I look forward to applying and expanding upon the knowledge and skills I have acquired as I continue my English language studies.。
情诗小唱十四行诗集 英文
情诗小唱十四行诗集英文Title: "Whispers of Love: A Collection of Fourteen-Line Lyrics"In the ethers of love's ethereal dance,。
Whispers of desire float on the breeze,。
Soft melodies that charm the senses,。
Entwining hearts in sweet harmony.A tender tune caresses the night,。
Silver moonbeams weave a lovers' tryst,。
Words of affection, low and tender,。
Whispered promises in the dark.A heartbeat echoes in the distance,。
A rhythm that beats with love's cadence,。
As stars twinkle in the infinite sky,。
Guiding lovers through the night's maze.A gentle breeze brushes across,。
Carrying whispers of love's refrain,。
Each word a caress, each note a kiss,。
Melodic declarations of eternal love.A vision dances in the dark,。
Silhouettes of lovers entwined,。
Their love a symphony of emotion,。
Playing out in the night's grand scheme. A voice, low and velvety soft,。
莎士比亚英文14行诗
莎士比亚英文14行诗Shakespearean English Sonnets: A Masterpiece of Poetic ExpressionWilliam Shakespeare, the renowned English playwright and poet, has left an indelible mark on the world of literature with his brilliant sonnets. Among his works, the Shakespearean English 14-line sonnets hold a special place, showcasing his mastery of the English language and his ability to delve into the depths of human emotions. In this article, we will explore the intricacies and beauty of Shakespearean sonnets, analyzing their structure, themes, and the enduring legacy they have created.Shakespearean sonnets are characterized by their unique form, consisting of three quatrains followed by a concluding couplet, with a strict rhyme scheme of abab cdcd efef gg. This structure, known as the Shakespearean sonnet or the English sonnet, allows for the exploration of a single idea or theme within a concise yet powerful framework. The iambic pentameter, with its ten syllables per line and the emphasis on alternate syllables, adds a musicality and rhythm to the sonnets, further enhancing their aesthetic appeal.One of the distinguishing features of Shakespearean sonnets is the exploration of themes such as love, beauty, time, and mortality. Shakespeare uses his sonnets as a means to express the complexity of human emotions and experiences, often using vivid imagery and metaphors to convey his ideas. For instance, in Sonnet 18, often referred to as "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?", Shakespeare compares the beauty of the beloved to the beauty of a summer's day, highlighting the transient nature of both and the power of his beloved's beauty to transcend the passage of time.Another recurring theme in Shakespearean sonnets is the concept of love, both the joys and the pains it brings. In Sonnet 116, Shakespeare presents an idealized and enduring notion of love, describing it as "the marriage of true minds" that is unshakeable despite the trials of life. However, he also explores the darker aspects of love in Sonnet 147, where he describes love as a torment, a disease that afflicts the mind. Through these contrasting perspectives, Shakespeare portrays the complexities of human relationships and the power of love to both uplift and destroy.The impact of Shakespearean sonnets goes far beyond the realm of literature. These poems have not only influenced subsequent generations of poets but have also become an integral part of popular culture. The phrases and lines from Shakespeare's sonnets, such as "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" and "Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds," have become embedded in the English language, often quoted and referenced in various contexts.Furthermore, Shakespeare's sonnets have also contributed to the evolution of the English language itself. His innovative use of language, the creation of new words, and the manipulation of grammar and syntax have shaped the development of English literature and language. The sonnets showcase Shakespeare's linguistic prowess, with his ability to create vivid imagery, clever wordplay, and profound insights into the human condition.In conclusion, Shakespearean English 14-line sonnets are a testament to the genius of William Shakespeare and his mastery of poetic expression. Through their unique structure, exploration of themes, and linguistic innovation, these sonnets continue to captivate readers and serve as a source of inspiration for poets and artists worldwide. Shakespeare's sonnets have transcended time and have become an enduring literary legacy, enriching the world of literature and leaving an indelible mark on the English language itself.。

The Youth英语诗歌欣赏
There are gains for all our losses. There are balms for all our pain;
But when youth, the dream, departs
It takes something from our hearts, And it never comes again.
We are stronger, and are better,
Under manhood’s sterner reign;
Still we feel that something sweet Following youth, with flying feet,
And will never come again. Something beautiful is vanished,
And we sigh for it in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth, and in the air,
But it never comes again!
我们失去的一切都能得到补偿，
我们所有的痛苦都能得到安慰；
可是梦境似的青春一旦消逝，
它带走了我们心中的'某种美好，
从此一去不复返。
我们变得日益刚强、更臻完美，
在严峻的成年生活驱使下；
可是依然感到甜美的情感，
已随着青春飞逝，
不再返回。
美好已经消逝，
我们枉自为此叹息；
尽管在天地之间，
我们处处能见青春的魅力，可是它不再返回！。

It has this magical ability to capture emotions and convey them in a beautiful and concise manner. It's like a window into the soul, allowing us to explore our deepest thoughts and feelings. Whether it's a sonnet, a haiku, or a free verse, each poem has its own unique way of speaking to us.Poetry has the power to transport us to different worlds. It can take us on a journey through time and space, allowing us to experience different cultures and perspectives. It can make us feel like we're standing on top of a mountain, gazing at the stars, or walking on a deserted beach. It's a form of escapism that allows us to momentarily forget about our worries and immerse ourselves in the beauty of words.One of the things I appreciate most about poetry is its ability to evoke strong emotions. A well-crafted poem has the power to make us laugh, cry, or feel a sense ofnostalgia. It can make us reflect on our own lives and question the world around us. It can make us feel connected to something greater than ourselves, reminding us of our shared humanity.Poetry is also a form of self-expression. It allows us to give voice to our thoughts and feelings in a way that is both personal and universal. It's a way to communicate our innermost desires, fears, and dreams. It's a way to share our story with the world and leave a lasting impact.Poetry is not just about the words on the page; it's about the rhythm and flow of the language. It's about the way the words dance on our tongues and resonate in our hearts. It's about the power of sound and the musicality of language. It's about the way a poem can be read aloud and bring it to life in a whole new way.In a world that is often fast-paced and chaotic, poetry offers a moment of stillness and reflection. It allows us to slow down and appreciate the beauty in the world around us. It reminds us to stop and smell the roses, to listen tothe birds singing, and to marvel at the wonders of nature. It's a form of mindfulness that helps us find peace and tranquility in the midst of chaos.In conclusion, poetry is a form of art that speaks to the soul. It has the power to transport us, evoke emotions, and allow for self-expression. It's a reminder of the beauty in the world and a moment of stillness in a busy world. So let's take a moment to appreciate the power of poetry and let its words resonate within us.。

Spring
Thomas Nashe William Wordsworth John Keats
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud On the Grasshopper and Cricket The Lake Isle of Innisfree
Introduction to the Poet
Thomas Nashe (1567-1601) 托马斯· 纳什 Born in Lowestoft, Nashe was an English Elizabethan pamphleteer, poet，dramatist and satirist. He graduated from St. John’s College, Cambridge in 1586 and became one of the “University Wits”. His best-known work, the novel The Unfortunate Traveler (1594), about the exciting overseas adventures of an English page called Jack Wilton, has been called the first of the picaresque novel in English literature. Summer’s Last Will (1592) is his important play. As a pamphleteer and satirist, he wrote several satiric pamphlets attacking Puritanism under the pseudonym Pasquil. He also wrote fine lyrics.
William Butler Yeats
Spring
The Poem Notes Introduction to the Poet Appreciation Questions and Answers Chinese Version
Spring By Thomas Nashe (1567-1601) Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king, Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring, Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing: Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo! The palm and may make country houses gay, Lambs frisk and play, the shepherds pipe all day, And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay: Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
Questions and Answers 1. How is the rhyme scheme arranged to make the poem read as smoothly and briskly as singing a song? It is a lyric of iambic pentameter. The poet uses a combination of alliteration and end rhyme in its rhyme scheme to make the poem read as smoothly and briskly as singing a song. 2. How are the images depicted in the poem to help intensify the theme of the poem? The poem uses rich and colorful images to depict the beauty of spring. We can see various animals and plants as well as different kinds of people. We can hear the euphonious songs of various birds as well as the shepherd pipe. We can feel the spring wind and the spring sun. And we can smell the fragrance of the field. All these images help to compose a beautiful scene of spring and a pleasant music of spring.Βιβλιοθήκη

Appreciation The lyric portraits a lively scene of spring and expresses the joy brought by spring. The poet compares spring to the year’s pleasant king that views a harmonious picture of human and nature in the spring. Different kinds of people enjoy a leisurely and comfortable life in the beauty of spring. Simple and plain as the language is, the poem eulogizes the sweet spring with ingenious words, abundant images and concordant rhythms. What’s more, the poet employs various onomatopoeias to imitate the different sounds of some animals, which makes the poem vivid and imaginative.
