Bysshe Shelly(1792-1822)One of the major English Romantic Poets Considered to be among the finest lyric poets in the English languagePOETBrief IntroductionWritten in 1819&published in 1820One of Shelleys best known lyrics(抒情诗)“O Wind,If Winter comes,can Spring be far behind?”(风啊，冬天来了，春天还会远吗？)IOwildWestWind,thoubreathofAutumnsbeing,Thou,fromwhoseunseenpresencetheleavesdeadAredriven,likeghostsfromanenchanterfleeing,Yellow,andblack,andpale,andhecticred,Pestilence-strickenmultitudes:Othou,WhochariotesttotheirdarkwintrybedThewingedseeds,wheretheyliecoldandlow,Eachlikeacorpsewithinitsgrave,untilThineazuresisteroftheSpringshallblowHerclarionoerthedreamingearth,andfill(Drivingsweetbudslikeflockstofeedinair)Withlivinghuesandodoursplainandhill:WildSpirit,whichartmovingeverywhere;Destroyerandpreserver;hear,ohhear!IIThou on whose stream,mid the steep skys commotion,Loose clouds like earths decaying leaves are shed,Shook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean,Angels of rain and lightning:there are spreadOn the blue surface of thine aery surge,Like the bright hair uplifted from the headOf some fierce Maenad,even from the dim vergeOf the horizon to the zeniths height,The locks of the approaching storm.Thou dirgeOf the dying year,to which this closing nightWill be the dome of a vast sepulchre,Vaulted with all thy congregated mightOf vapours,from whose solid atmosphereBlack rain,and fire,and hail will burst:oh hear!IIIThou who didst waken from his summer dreamsThe blue Mediterranean,where he lay,Lulld by the coil of his crystalline streams,Beside a pumice isle in Baiaes bay,And saw in sleep old palaces and towersQuivering within the waves intenser day,All overgrown with azure moss and flowersSo sweet,the sense faints picturing them!ThouFor whose path the Atlantics level powersCleave themselves into chasms,while far belowThe sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wearThe sapless foliage of the ocean,knowThy voice,and suddenly grow gray with fear,And tremble and despoil themselves:oh hear!IVIf I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear;If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee;A wave to pant beneath thy power,and shareThe impulse of thy strength,only less freeThan thou,O uncontrollable!If evenI were as in my boyhood,and could beThe comrade of thy wanderings over Heaven,As then,when to outstrip thy skiey speedScarce seemd a vision;I would neer have strivenAs thus with thee in prayer in my sore need.Oh,lift me as a wave,a leaf,a cloud!I fall upon the thorns of life!I bleed!A heavy weight of hours has chaind and bowdOne too like thee:tameless,and swift,and proud.VMake me thy lyre,even as the forest is:What if my leaves are falling like its own!The tumult of thy mighty harmoniesWill take from both a deep,autumnal tone,Sweet though in sadness.Be thou,Spirit fierce,My spirit!Be thou me,impetuous one!Drive my dead thoughts over the universeLike witherd leaves to quicken a new birth!And,by the incantation of this verse,Scatter,as from an unextinguishd hearthAshes and sparks,my words among mankind!Be through my lips to unawakend earthThe trumpet of a prophecy!Oh Wind,If Winter comes,can Spring be far behind?StructurePart(Section 1-3):the connection between the West Wind and the earth,the air and the waterPart(Section 4-5):the poet expresses his own state of mind and explores the relationship between the West Wind and himself.In this poem,the wind is more than simply a current of air.In Greek&Latin languages,the words for“wind”,“inspiration”,“soul”,and“spirit”are all related.So,Shelleys“West Wind”seems to symbolize an inspiring spiritual power that moves everywhere,and affects everything.In this poem,Shelley tries to gain transcendence(超然存在，超越).The West Wind acts as a driving force change and rejuvenation(再生)in the human and natural world.Shelly views the winter not just as last phase(时期，阶段)of vegetation(植物)but as the last phase of life in the individual,the imagination,civilization and religion.Poem SummeryRhymeThe rhyme scheme-“aba bcb cdc ded ff”Iambic pentameter(五步抑扬格)Shelley observes the changing of the weather and its influence on the internal and external environment.After reading,we can see that Shelley can only reach his sublime(升华)by having the wind carry his“dead thoughts”which through an apocalyptic(预示灾难的)destruction.Thank You!谢谢观赏！
