标题[请益] 关於Tennyson的"The Loto-Eaters"
时间Mon Jun 16 21:25:55 2008
读过这首诗的人知道Lotos的典故吗?
看课本下面的注释还是不太懂......
有人可以解释一下这首诗的key point???
我把注释打上来:
Based on a short episode from the Odyssey in which the weary Greek
veterans of the Trojan War are tempted by a desire to abandon their
long voyage homeward. As Odysseus later reported: "On the tenth day
we set foot on the land of the lotos-eaters who eat a flowering food....
I sent forth certain of my company [who] ...mixed with the men of the
lotos-eaters who gave.... them of the lotos to taste. Now whosoever
of them did eat the honey-sweet fruit of the lotos had no more wish to
bring tidings nor to come back, but there he chose to abide...
forgetful of his homeward way."
Tennyson expands Homer's brief account into an elaborate picture of
weariness and the desire for rest and death. The descriptions in the
first stanzas are similar to Faerie Queene 2.6 and employ the same stanza
form. The final section derives, in part, from Lucretius's conception
of the gods in Dererum natura.
呼~终於打完了......等达人解惑噜!
