很凄美,这首诗的作者是不是在说自己?
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
作者WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS叶芝(1865-1939),用英语写作的爱尔兰诗人
,早年曾参加爱尔兰独立运动,但后来脱离政治运动,专心致力与文学写作。
其诗风受布莱克影响较深;后与法国诗派接触,使他的诗又带上了唯美注意和
象征主义色彩。叶芝在1923年获得诺贝尔文学奖,是一位对现代诗歌具有重大
影响的诗人。叶芝在1889年遇见女演员、爱尔兰独立运动战士Maud Gonne,并爱
上了她,他曾多次向她求婚,但均遭拒绝,但他终生爱慕着她,为她写下了许
多诗,《当你老了》就是其中一首。
When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire,take down this book,
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur,a little sadly,how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. |
