3、as on death: immortalityI Die for BeautyForm修辭This poem follows many of Dick inson typical formal patter ns the ACB rhyme scheme, the rhythmic use of the dash to in terrupt the flow but has a more regular meter, so that the first and third lines in each sta nza are iambic tetrameter, while the secon

4、d and fourth lines are iambic trimeter, creating a four-three-four-three stress patter n in each sta nza.Comme ntary主題背景This bizarre, allegorical death fan tasy recais Keats (“ Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty,”from Ode on a Grecian Urn), but its manner of presentation belongs uniquely toDick inson. In

5、 this short lyric, Dick inson man ages to in clude a sense of the macabre physicalityof death (“Until the Moss had redchur lips ), the high idealism of martyrdom(“I died for Beauty. . . One who died for Truth” ), a certa in ki nd of roma ntic year ning comb ined with longing for Plato niccompanionsh

7、, the high idealism and year ning for compa nion ship gradually give way to mute, cold death, as the moss creeps up the speaker corpse and her headst one, obliterati ng both her capacity to speak (coveri ng her lips) and her ide ntity (coveri ng her n ame).The ultimate effect of this poem is to show

8、 that every aspect of huma n life ideals, human feelings, identity itself is erased by death. But by making the erasure gradua something to be “ adjustedto” in the tomband by portraying a speaker who is un troubled by her own grim state, Dick inson creates a sce ne that is, by turns, grotesque and c

It is one of her most sin gular statements about death, and like so many of Dickinson s poems, it has no parallels inthe work of any other writer.I Heard a Fly Buzz-When I Died作家類型Emily Dickinson poems are usually based on her own experiences, her sorrows a

10、nd joys. The poems include observations of nature, accounts of a moment revelation, descriptions of sexual stirri ngs, and meditati ons on the n ature of life and death. Dick inson poetry is unique and unconven ti onal in its own way. Her poems have no titles. And her poetic idiom is no ted for its

11、laconic brevity, direct ness and pla inn ess.主題背景Emily Dick insons poem I heard a Fly buzz- whe n I died is told by a n arrator who uses past tense to describe the final mome nts of their life. The poem gives the reader an in side look into the final mome nts of death from some one who has already d

12、ied. The fly is the cen tral figure represe nti ng the oncoming of death. The poem is full of many metaphors and similes, such as the king men ti oned in the poem who represe nts a belief in religio n. The wordi ng of the poem affirms Emily Dickinsons belief in life after death. The poem has a short

13、 title but is deep in meaning. Death is in evitable to all who are born, although not all deaths are disturbed by a pesky fly.(2) In 1863, Emily Dickinson wrote the slant rhyme poem I heard a Fly buzz- when Idied-, which gives the reader a rare glimpse of dying from the view point of some one who is

14、 already dead. Death is a part of life no matter what pers onal belief one has, and accord ing to Emily Dick inson, life may continue after death.修辭“ heard a Fly buzz ” employs all of Dick inson fosmal patter ns: trimeter and tetrameter iambic lines (four stresses in the first and third lines of eac

15、h sta nza, three in the sec ond and fourth, a pattern Dick inson follows at her most formal); rhythmic in serti on of the long dash to in terrupt the meter; and an ABCB rhyme scheme. In terest in gly, all the rhymes before the final sta nza are half-rhymes (Room/Storm, firm/Room, be/Fly), while only

16、 the rhyme in the final sta nza is a full rhyme (me/see). Dick inson uses this tech nique to build tension; a sense of true completio n comes only with the speaker death. sMy Life Closed Twice before Its Close作家類型A.
