讀過這首詩的人知道Lotos的典故嗎？ 看課本下面的註釋還是不太懂...... 有人可以解釋一下這首詩的key point??? 我把注釋打上來： 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～終於打完了......等達人解惑嚕！ -- secret eyes ...... http://0rz.tw/9b4fc --
