柯尔庄园的野天鹅.doc

简 介柯尔的野天鹅，是叶芝在1919年在柯尔庄园渡假期间写成的。 柯尔庄园是格雷戈里夫人拥有的位于基尔威郡的乡间住宅，多年来叶芝一直在那里消暑渡假。格雷戈里夫人是一个殖民地总督的遗孀，热情的资助叶芝倡导的爱尔兰文艺复兴事业，两人彼此尊重。格雷戈里夫人是叶芝一生中四个重要的女性中的第二位，她甘做叶芝的听众和支持者，在需要的时候，他可以随时到柯尔庄园去疗养。 柯尔的野天鹅一诗的灵感源自，十九年间叶芝望着柯尔湖面的天鹅在水中嬉戏，在空中翱翔，时而隐没，时而浮出。它们如此神秘而又如此美丽，叶芝喜欢用天鹅来象征人的灵魂层面。 这首诗同时描述了生活的悲喜两面：一方面哀叹逝去的岁月，一方面是对充满生气的青春岁月的赞美。The Wild Swans At Coole The trees are in their autumn beauty, The woodland paths are dry,Under the October twilight the water Mirrors a still sky; Upon the brimming water among the stones Are nine-and-fifty Swans. The nineteenth autumn has come upon me Since I first made my count; I saw, before I had well finished, All suddenly mount And scatter wheeling in great broken rings Upon their clamorous wings. I have looked upon those brilliant creatures, And now my heart is sore. Alls changed since I, hearing at twilight, The first time on this shore, The bell-beat of their wings above my head, Trod with a lighter tread. Unwearied still, lover by lover, They paddle in the cold Companionable streams or climb the air; Their hearts have not grown old; Passion or conquest, wander where they will, Attend upon them still. But now they drift on the still water, Mysterious, beautiful; Among what rushes will they build, By what lakes edge or pool Del
