Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed, And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed: But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

The tragic hero in medieval plays seeks the way to heaven through salvation and God's will; V.S. The Renaissance hero is against conventional morality and contrives to obtain heaven on earth through his own efforts.
Selected Readings in English and American Literature
Lecture 3 Edmund Spenser
Edmund Spenser(1552-1559)
recognised as one of the premier craftsmen of Modern English verse in its infancy, and one of the greatest poets in the English language, "the poets' poet".
Contributions
Spenserian Sonnet(斯宾塞十四行诗):
The Spenserian Sonnet is based on a fusion of elements of both the Petrarchan sonnet and the Shakespearean sonnet. It is similar to the Shakespearan sonnet in the sense that its set up is based more on the 3 quatrains and a couplet; however it is more like the Petrarchan tradition in the fact that the conclusion follows from the argument or issue set up in the earlier quatrains. rhyme sheme: abab bcbc cdcd ee

第一讲英美诗歌的韵步第一节韵步的定义与种类韵步(foot,也被称为音步),是由音节(syllable)组成的,因此,首先要了解什么是音节。

音节由音素(phone)构成,它是语音中最小的不可再分解的单位,是字母组合后的读音标记。

音素靠听觉辨认,字母靠视觉辨认,音素属于读音系统,字母属于拼写系统。

例如,scansion [′skæn∫зn]由8个字母拼写而成,只有7个音素。

英语音素分为元音(vowel)和辅音(c onsonant),共有48个。

音节是英语的发音单位,由一个元音或者由一个元音同一个或若干个辅音构成。

音节可分为单音节、双音节、多音节三类。

单音节:you,day,me,big,make,bar等。

双音节:begin,open,foolish,summer,mountain等。

多音节:w onderful,revolution,satisfactory等。

辅音也可构成音节,如people,rhythm中的ple和thm都属于一个音节。

每个英语单词都有一个重读音节,其重读音节是固定的。

如husband,共两个音节,第一个音节重读;express有两个音节,第二个音节重读;beautiful有三个音节,第一个音节重读;religion有三个音节,第二个音节重读;subterranean有四个音节,第三个音节重读。

在短语或句子中,冠词和介词一般不重读。

如在in the morning,on a desk中,in、the、on、a都不重读。

弄清楚什么是音节,就可以理解什么是韵步了。

韵步是一个或两个重读音节和一个或两个非重读音节的排列组合。

其类型如下:韵步类型表第二节韵步类型举例一、抑扬格抑扬格是一个非重读音节和一个重读音节的排列组合。

英语诗歌以抑扬格韵步为主,如莎士比亚十四行诗《我可以把你比作夏天吗?》最后两行的韵步划分如下(每个韵步由竖杠“|”隔开,“_”代表非重读音节,“/”代表重读音节):_ /. _ / _ / _ / _ /So long |as men |can breathe |or eyes |can see,_ / _ / _ / _ / _ /So long |lives this |and this |gives life |to thee. 1(William Shakespeare: Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’ Day)每个韵步都是两个音节,且每个韵步都是一个非重读音节加一个重读音节构成。

押韵的英文小诗(文档3篇)

押韵的英文小诗(文档3篇)

押韵的英文小诗(文档3篇)以下是网友分享的关于押韵的英文小诗的资料3篇,希望对您有所帮助,就爱阅读感谢您的支持。

第一篇压韵(rhyme)英文诗一般都押运韵。

(一)全韵与半韵(full rhyme and half rhyme)。

全韵是严格的押韵,其要求是:(1)韵要押在重读音节上,其元音应相同;(2)元音前的辅音应不同;(3)如果元音之后有辅音,应相同。

(4)重读音节之后如有轻读音节,也应相同。

下面几对词都符合全韵的标准:why---sigh; hate---late; fight---delight; powers---flowers;today---away; ending---bending.如果仅是元音字母相同,读音不同,不符合全韵:如: blood----hood; there---here; gone---alone; daughter----laughter. 这种情形被称为―眼韵‖(eye rhyme),虽然诗人有时用之,但不是真正的押韵。

仅是辅音相同或仅是元音相同的属半韵:元音不同,其前后的辅音相同,这叫谐辅韵(consonance)如:black, block; creak, croak; reader, rider; despise, dispose. 元音相同,其后的辅音相同者叫谐元韵(assonance),如lake, fate; time, mind.(二)尾韵与行内韵(end rhyme and internal rhyme)押在诗行最后一个重读音节上,叫尾韵。

这是英文诗歌最常见的押韵部位。

诗行中间停顿处的重读音节与该行最后一个重读音节押韵者,叫行内韵。

如:Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king;Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,(三)男韵与女韵((masculine rhyme and feminine rhyme) 所押的韵音局限于诗行中重读的末尾音节上,称男韵,也叫单韵,听起来强劲有力。

第三讲英美诗歌的押韵押韵(rhyme)是指一个音节的读音在以后音节读音中的重复,或是一个单词的最后一个音节或几个音节的读音在以后音节相应位置的读音重复。

从押韵的位置看,押韵主要有头韵(alliteration)、尾韵(end rhyme)和中间韵或腹韵(internal rhyme)。

尾韵又分全韵(perfect rhyme)和非全韵(imperfect rhyme)两种。

全韵要求押韵的辅音和元音都相同,非全韵又包括只是元音相同但辅音不押韵的元韵(assonance)和只押辅音不押元音的和韵(consonance),另外,还有从拼写上看起来似乎押韵但实际读音并不押韵的目韵(eye rhyme, visual rhyme or sight rhyme)等。

第一节头韵头韵是指一行(节)诗中几个词开头的辅音相同,形成押韵。

如克里斯蒂娜•罗塞蒂的《歌》前两诗节:When I am dead, my dearest,Sing no sad songs for me;Plant thou no rose at my head,Nor shady cypress tree:Be the green grass above meWith showers and dewdrops wet;And if thou wilt, remember,And if thou wilt, forget. 12(Samuel Taylor Coleridge: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner)前三行里,头韵[f]重复七次。

这个摩擦送气的清辅音模仿柔风轻涛的声音,创造出一种宁静的意境。

第四行里的两个[s]音宛如和风吹过沉寂海面而发出的咝咝声。

自考《英美文学选读》(英)维多利亚时期(3)-1III. Alfred Tennyson1.一般识记His Life & Literary CareerAlfred Tennyson (1809-1892) is certainly the most representative Victorian poet. His poetry voices the doubt & the faith,the grief & the joy of the English people in an age of fast social changes.He was born at Somersby,Linconshire,the fourth son of a rather learned clergyman. In 1827,he & his elder brother published Poems by Two Brothers. In this juvenile work the influence of Byron & an attraction to oriental themes were shown. He was educated at the Trinity College,Cambridge & published his first signed work Poems,Chiefly Lyrical (1830) there. In 1832,one year after he left Cambridge,he published Poems,which contained a variety of poems,beautiful in melody & rich in imagery. In 1842,his next issue of Poems came out,collected in the book are the dramatic monologue “Ulysses”,the epic narrative “ Morte d’’Arthur,” the exquisite idylls “Dora” & “ The Gardener’’s Daughter,” etc. In 1847,The Princess was published. Written in blank verse,it deals with the theme of women’’s rights & position. In 1850,Tennyson was appointed the Poet Laureate & he published his greatest work In Memoriam. The rest years of Tennyson’’s life was comfortable & peaceful,but he never stopped writing. In 1855,Tennyson published a monodrama Maud,a collection of short lyrics. Among the other works of his later period,“Rizpah,” “Enoch Arden,” “ Merlin & the Gleam” & “ Crossing the Bar” are worthy of note.2.识记His major poetic works & their theme1) In MemoriamPresumably it is an elegy on the death of Hallam,yet less than half of its l00 pieces are directly connected with him. The poet here does not merely dwell on the personal bereavement. As a poetic diary,the poem is al so an elaborate & powerful expression of the poet’’s philosophical & religious thoughts - his doubts about the meaning of life,the existence of the soul & the afterlife,& his faith in the power of love & the soul’’s instinct & immortality. Such doubts & beliefs were shared by most people in an age when the old Christian belief was challenged by new scientific discoveries,though to most readers today,the real attraction of the poem lies more in its profound feeling & artistic beauty than in the philosophical & religious reflections. The familiar trance-like experience,mellifluous rhythm & pictorial descriptions make it one of the best elegies in English literature.2) Idylls of the Kin g (1842-1885)It is his most ambitious work which took him over 30 years to complete. It is made up of 12 books of narrative poems,based on the Celtic legends of King Arthur & his Knights of the Round Table. But it is not a mere reproduction of the old legend,though. It is a modern interpretation of the classic myth. For one thing,the moral standards & sentiments reflected in the poem belong to the Victorians rather than to the medieval royal people. For another,the story of the rise & fall of King Arthur is,in fact,meant to represent a cyclic history of western civilization,which ,in Tennyson’’s mind ,is going on a spiritual decline & will end in destruction.3.领会Artistic Features of His PoetryTennyson is a real artist. He has the natural power of linking visual pictures with musicalexpressions,& these two with the feelings. He has perfect control of the sound of English,& a sensitive ear,an excellent choice & taste of words. His poetry is rich in poetic images & melodious language,& noted for its lyrical beauty & metrical charm. His works are not only the products of the creative imagination of a poetic genius but also products of a long & rich English heritage. His wonderful works manifest all the qualities of England’’s great poets. The dreamines s of Spenser,the majesty of Milton,the natural simplicity of Wordsworth,the fantasy of Blake & Coleridge,the melody of Keats & Shelley,& the narrative vigor of Scott & Byron,—— all these striking qualities are evident on successive pages of Tennyson’’s poetry.4. 应用Selected Readings(1) BreakThis short lyric is written in memory of Tennyson’’s best friend,Arthur Hallam,whose death has a lifelong influence on the poet. Here,the poet’’s own feelings of sadness are contrasted with the carefree,innocent joys of the children & the unfeeling movement of the ship & the sea waves. The beauty of the lyric is to be found in the musical language & in the association of sound & images with feelings & emotions. The poem contains 4 quatrains,with combined iambic & anapaestic feet. Most lines have three feet & some four. The rhyme scheme isa b c b.(2) Crossing the BarThis poem was written in the later years of Tennyson’’s life. Although not the last poem written by Tennyson in his long creative career,this poem appears,at his request,as the final poem in all collections of his works. The scene is sketched with a few strokes:sunset & the evening star,the twilight and the evening bell,& then the dark. The ship is ready to go out of the harbor. It will cross the bar & reach the vast open sea for the long voyage that it is to make. The allegory of the poem is clear. Tennyson is in the evening of life,& the “clear call” of death will come soon. But when he has crossed the border between life & death to go on that voyage beyond the bound of Time & Place,he hopes then to see his “Pilot,” God,face to face. From the moving imagery & the pleasant sound of the poem,we can feel his fearlessness towards death,his faith in God & an afterlife.。

DEFINITION OF POETRY


The most common is the genological level,(genre) at which critics define poetry as a genre of literature, the collective body of compositions termed as poems. At this level, poetry parallels fiction and drama, forming with them the greatest three of the conventional literary categories which divide the pages of popular literary textbooks, such as An Approach to Literature (Fifth Edition, 1975) by C. Brooks, J. T. Purser, and R. P. Warren.

INTERNALS OF POETRY :IMAGERY, SUBJECT MATTERS AND THEMES
Unit 1 General introduction
Definition of poetry Externals of poetry Internals of poetry Genres of poetry Approaches towards poetry text analysis
ห้องสมุดไป่ตู้

Another is the popular typographical level. As poetry is defined all that is printed in the line form on the page, people, including many critics of course, take their cue from the appearance in deciding what is poetry and what is not; and thus, accordingly, they will fail or refuse to recognize the passage below as poetry. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight for the ends of Being and ideal Grace. ……and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

音节是英语的发音单位,由一个元音或者由一个元音同一个或若干个辅音构成。

音节可分为单音节、双音节、多音节三类。

单音节:you,day,me,big,make,bar等。

双音节:begin,open,foolish,summer,mountain等。

多音节:wonderful,revolution,satisfactory等。

辅音也可构成音节,如people,rhythm中的ple和thm都属于一个音节。

每个英语单词都有一个重读音节,其重读音节是固定的。

如husband,共两个音节,第一个音节重读;express有两个音节,第二个音节重读;beautiful有三个音节,第一个音节重读;religion有三个音节,第二个音节重读;subterranean有四个音节,第三个音节重读。

在短语或句子中,冠词和介词一般不重读。

如在in the morning,on a desk中,in、the、on、a都不重读。

英语诗歌以抑扬格韵步为主,如莎士比亚十四行诗《我可以把你比作夏天吗?》最后两行的韵步划分如下(每个韵步由竖杠“|”隔开,“_”代表非重读音节,“/”代表重读音节):_ /. _ / _ / _ / _ /So long |as men |can breathe |or eyes |can see,_ / _ / _ / _ / _ /So long |lives this |and this |gives life |to thee. 1(William Shakespeare: Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’ Day)每个韵步都是两个音节,且每个韵步都是一个非重读音节加一个重读音节构成。

英美诗歌选读第三讲[大] [中] [小]英美诗歌的押韵押韵(rhyme)是指一个音节的读音在以后音节读音中的重复,或是一个单词的最后一个音节或几个音节的读音在以后音节相应位置的读音重复。

从押韵的位置看,押韵主要有头韵(alliteration)、尾韵(end rhyme)和中间韵或腹韵(internal rhyme)。

尾韵又分全韵(perfect rhyme)和非全韵(imperfect rhyme)两种。

全韵要求押韵的辅音和元音都相同,非全韵又包括只是元音相同但辅音不押韵的元韵(assonance)和只押辅音不押元音的和韵(consonance),另外,还有从拼写上看起来似乎押韵但实际读音并不押韵的目韵(eye rhyme,visual rhyme or sight rhyme)等。

第一节头韵头韵是指一行(节)诗中几个词开头的辅音相同,形成押韵。

如克里斯蒂娜•罗塞蒂的《歌》前两诗节:When I am dead,my dearest,Sing no sad songs for me;Plant thou no rose at my head,Nor shady cypress tree:Be the green grass above meWith showers and dewdrops wet;And if thou wilt,remember,And if thou wilt,forget. [1](Christina Rossetti:Song)第一行的dead / dearest,第二行的sing / sad / songs,第五行的green / grass,第六行的with / wet押头韵。

又如柯尔律治的《古舟子咏》第103~第106行:The fair breeze blew,the white foam flew,The furrow followed free,We were the first that ever burstInto that silent sea. [2](Samuel Taylor Coleridge:The Rime of the Ancient Mariner)前三行里,头韵[f]重复七次。

这个摩擦送气的清辅音模仿柔风轻涛的声音,创造出一种宁静的意境。

第四行里的两个[s]音宛如和风吹过沉寂海面而发出的咝咝声。

头韵在这里的使用,令读者有身临其境之感。

另外,中间韵blew / flew,first / burst,furrow / followed,尾韵free / sea形成悦耳动听的韵味和节奏感。

再如莎士比亚编号为71的十四行诗前八行:No longer mourn for me when I am deadThan you shall hear the surly sullen bellGive warning to the world that I am fledFrom this vile world with vilest worms to dwell.Nay,if you read this line,remember notThe hand that writ it;for I love you soThat I in your sweet thoughts would be forgotIf thinking on me would make you woe. [3]每行都有不同的头韵。

第一行为mourn / me,第二行为surly / sullen,第三行为warning / world,第四行为world / worm,第五行为read / remember,第八行为me / make和would / woe。

第二行、第三行和第五行为than / that / this,第七行和第八行为thoughts / thinking。

这样的不同首字母交替出现在一个诗节中,可以称为交叉头韵。

诗人在使用头韵时,还使用一种声音的重复,通过这种声音的重复表达一种独特的情感。

如多恩的《歌》:When thou sigh’st,thou sigh’st not windBut sigh’st my soul away;When thou weep’st,unkindly kind,My life’s blood doth decay.It cannot be,That thou lov’st me,as thou say’st,If in thine my life thou waste,Thou art the best of me. [4](John Donne:Song)此诗节使用的头韵有when / wind / weep / waste,sigh / soul / say,doth / decay,blood / be / best,thou / then / that等。

另外,在sigh、kindly、thine、my和life中有频繁的元音字母i,此音暗示悲伤和抑郁,加上它是一个长元音,自然就减缓了诗行自然的快节奏运动,哀伤和抑郁之情得到了充分的表现。

同样的诗歌技巧也体现在爱伦•坡的《乌鸦》之中,如该诗的最后一节:And the Raven,never flitting,still is sitting,still is sittingOn the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon that is dreaming,And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floorShall be lifted –nevermore![5](Allan Poe:The Raven)此诗节中除了各行的头韵(still / sitting,pallid / Pallas,his / have,lamp / light,from / floating / floor),还有内韵(flitting / sitting,seeming / dreaming等),贯穿整个诗节的短元音[i]、[æ],长元音[i:]、[o:]和双元音[?u]生动地传达出了主人公的痛苦和绝望。

第二节尾韵尾韵(end rhyme)指行尾押韵单词最后的重读元音及其后面的辅音在读音上相同,而元音前面的辅音则不能相同。

也就是说,元音以及元音后面的辅音押韵,而元音前面的辅音则不押韵。

这种韵又被称为全韵(perfect rhyme)。

根据音节的数量,可分为单音节尾韵(single rhyme)、双音节尾韵(double rhyme)和三重音节尾韵(triple rhyme)。

单音节尾韵又称男韵或阳韵(masculine rhyme),是在诗行结尾重读音节之间出现的最普遍的押韵。

如米勒《在太平洋之滨》第二诗节:Above yon gleaming skies of goldOne lone imperial peak is seen;While gathered at his feet in greenTen thousand foresters are told.And all so still!So still the airThat duty drops the web of care. [6](Joaquin Miller:By the Pacific Ocean)第一、四行押韵,第二、三行押韵,第五、六行押韵,都是重读单音节。

虽然是单音节押韵,但它只要求一个音节押韵,而不要求押韵的一个音节是一个单音节单词。

例如叶芝《走过柳园》第一节:Down by the sally gardens my love and I did meet;She pass’d the sally gardens with little snow-white feet.She bid me take love easy,as the leaves grow on the tree;But I,being young and foolish,with her would not agree. [7](W. B. Yeats:Down by the Sally Gardens)这里第四行的agree就是一个双音节单词,它只在第二个音节上与前行的tree押韵,而且它是重读音节。

双音节韵又称女韵或阴韵(feminine rhyme),其基本特征是行尾单词最后两个音节押韵,其中倒数第二个音节是重读音节,而最后一个音节是非重读音节。

由于其读音是重读加非重读结构,因此它又称扬抑格韵(trochaic rhyme)。

如华兹华斯的《写于三月》前四行:The cock is crowing,The stream is flowing,The small birds twitter,The lake doth glitter. [8](William Wordsworth:Written in March at Brother’s Water)行尾的crowing / flowing,twitter / glitter相互押韵。

两组押韵都是由双音节单词组成,每个单词的第一个音节为重读音节,第二个音节为非重读音节。

又如丁尼生《女郎夏洛特》第一部分的第二诗节:Willows whiten,aspens quiver,Little breezes dusk and shiverThrough the wave that runs foreverBy the island in the riverFlowing down to Camelot.Four grey walls,and four grey towers,Overlook a space of flowers,And the silent isle imbowersThe Lady of Shalott. [9](Alfred Tennyson:The Lady of Shalott,Part I)行尾的quiver / shiver / river,towers / flowers / imbowers相互押韵,除了imbowers,其余单词都是双音节单词,都是第一个音节为重读,第二个音节为非重读。
