草叶集
Leaves of Grass
《草叶集》是19世纪美国作家惠特曼的浪漫主义诗集,共收有诗歌三百余首,诗集得名于集中这样的一句诗:“哪里有土,哪里有水,哪里就长着草。”诗集中的诗歌便像是长满美国大地的芳草,生气蓬勃并散发着诱人的芳香。它们是世界闻名的佳作,开创了美国民族诗歌的新时代。作者在诗歌形式上有大胆的创新,创造了“自由体”的诗歌形式,打破了传统的诗歌格律,以断句作为韵律的基础,节奏自由奔放,汪洋恣肆,舒卷自如,具有一泻千里的气势和无所不包的容量。《草叶集》中对大自然、对自我有着泛神主义的歌颂,泛神主义是崇拜大自然,以自然万物为神的;诗中极力赞美大自然的壮丽、神奇和伟大。
此为作者的一部诗集。尽管首版出版于1855年,作者还是花了很长时间改写此诗集,直到作者去世。作者此举也导致了四十年来此诗集的许多不同版本——首版是一本十二首诗歌的小书,最后一版却是有超过四百首诗歌的诗集。
Leaves of Grass is a poetry collection by the American poet Walt Whitman (1819–1892). Though the first edition was published in 1855, Whitman spent most of his professional life writing and re-writing Leaves of Grass, revising it multiple times until his death. This resulted in vastly different editions over four decades—the first a small book of twelve poems and the last a compilation of over 400 poems.
TO the garden the world anew ascending,
Potent mates, daughters, sons, preluding,
The love, the life of their bodies, meaning and being,
Curious here behold my resurrection after slumber,
The revolving cycles in their wide sweep having brought me
