Abstract

Abstract:Time in Emily Dickinson's poetry is a many-sided concept that must be understood, not just in terms of the images and metaphors Dickinson uses to represent it, but also in terms of the poetic effects that it makes possible: variations in syntax, progressions of imagery and metaphor, plays with the expectation and resolution of sound and meter. Thinking about time in this way complicates its usual depiction in criticism as a trap to be escaped or a lesser state to be surpassed by immortality. "Time's possibility" lies in the fact that, in the lexicon of human experience, it is the field that makes experience and growth possible, granting relief and renewal even when, at times, it feels entrapping.

单纯生活的狂喜:艾米莉·狄金森诗歌中的“时间的可能性”

摘要：艾米莉·狄金森诗歌中的时间是一个多方面的概念，必须加以理解，不仅要从狄金森用来表现时间的意象和隐喻的角度来理解，还要从它所带来的诗歌效果的角度来了解：句法的变化，意象和比喻的进行，以及声音和韵律的期望和分辨率。以这种方式思考时间，使其在批评中通常被描述为一个可以逃脱的陷阱或一个可以被永生超越的较低状态变得复杂。“时间的可能性”在于，在人类经验的词典中，正是这个领域使经验和成长成为可能，即使有时感觉被困住，也能给予解脱和更新。
