“AnnabelLee”(1)Introduction:《安娜贝尔·李》是美国抒情诗中的上乘佳作。这是诗人坡1849年死后才发表的最后一篇诗作,代表其唯美主义(aestheticism)风格的顶峰。许多评论家认为这是诗人为悼念亡妻而作,旨在把爱情融入理想化的永恒境界。全诗浓笔喧染了大海边亦真亦幻的浪漫氛围,既有纯洁的爱情,也有哀婉的悲剧。大海的波涛传递着悲切的旋律,而大海的永恒寓意着爱情的永恒。全诗情景交融,音乐和画面和谐,鲜明的视觉形象和忧郁抒情节奏,既生动而形象地演释了一个爱情传奇,又委婉感人地抒发了诗人缠绵悲伤的心情。全诗呈现给读者的是美的意境,美的人物,美的故事,美的感情,美的韵律,美的语言。诗歌体现了爱德加·爱伦·坡的诗歌创作原则:音乐感和忧郁美.坡在其著名文学评论创作原理中说,人世间最伤感的莫过于死亡,而美丽的年轻女子的死亡更让人痛彻心骨.诗中美丽的安娜贝尔丽正是诗人所钟爱的年轻的亡妻弗吉尼亚的化身.该诗淋漓尽致地体现了坡对诗歌音乐美的不懈追求以及对伤感主题的执著偏爱,诠释了他所主张的诗歌创作原则,即视觉和听觉、节奏和音韵、想象和情感间的和谐统一.诗人也采用了大量象征手法更突出了诗歌主题并渲染了气氛.诗是一场梦境,但读过良久之后仍意味隽永,令人回味无穷.AnnabelLeewasthelastpoemthatPoecomposed,andwasfirstpublishedinNovember,1849,inTheSouthernLiteraryMessenger,amonthorsoafterhisdeath.Writtenin1849,AnnabelLeewaspublishedthesameyear,justtwodaysafterPoe'sdeathonOctober7.Itappearedintwonewspapers,theRichmondExaminerandtheNewYorkTribune,andtheninthe1850editionofTheWorksoftheLateEdgarAllanPoe.ThepoemhassincebecomeoneofPoe'smostpopularworks.Usingamelodiousnarrativeform,thespeakerlamentsthedeath,manyyearsago,ofhisbelovedyoungbrideAnnabelLee.Hislossmoveshimtostatethatenviousangelscausedthegirl'sdeathtodissever(separate)theyoungmarriedcouple.Hetellsbrieflyofherfuneralandentombmentinhersepulchre…bythesea.Thenarratorthenrevealsthathehasbeenunabletoaccepttheirseparation.Sinceherdeath,hehasspentnightafternightathertomb,anastonishingandperverseexampleoftheimmortalityofyounglove.(2)Themes:MemoryandReminiscing(回忆)(3)Style:AnnabelLeeconsistsofsixstanzasthatrangefromsixtoeightlineseach.Thepoemusesrepetitionandrhymetocreatethequalitiesofunityandeuphony,orapleasingmusicality.Therepeateduseoftheendrhymessea,Lee,we,andmeofferalinkfromstanzatostanzathroughoutthepoem.ThenameAnnabelLeeappearsatleastonceineverystanza,andthephrasekingdombytheseaalsoappearsfrequently,addingtotheunifiedstructure.Repetitionofkeywordswithinlinesgivesthepoemitspleasingsoundwhileatthesametimeemphasizingmainideas.Compare:江城子苏轼乙卯正月二十夜记梦(1075)十年生死两茫茫,不思量,自难忘。千里孤坟,无处话凄凉。纵使相逢应不识,尘满面,鬓如霜。夜来幽梦忽还乡。小轩窗,正梳妆。相顾无言,惟有泪千行。料得年年肠断处:明月夜,短松冈。
