A Comparative Study of Nature Poetry of Emily Dickinson and Tao Yuanming_英语论文

摘要

艾米莉•狄金森与陶渊明是中美文学史上两位杰出的诗人。狄金森深居简出，执笔创作五百余首自然诗。陶渊明寄情山水，写下大量脍炙人口的自然诗篇。自然净化了两人的心灵,也赋予了他们创作的源泉。狄金森的自然诗，不拘于形，节奏时而轻快，时而压抑。言语间透露出对自然的敬爱且敬畏之情。陶渊明的田园诗，不拘于文，不为悦人，意在抒发对自然的热衷之情及对世俗的厌倦之意。陶渊明与狄金森，始而热爱自然，继而寄托自然，终而回归自然。两人殊途同归，一“殊”一“同”，他们的心灵在与自然的融合中重值了生命，其自然诗因而更加耐人寻味，在世界文学中散发着历久弥新的魅力。
