艾米莉.狄金森诗歌鲜明的音乐性众所周知,但一百多年来乏人研究。其诗歌的音乐特征由其诗歌中的音乐词汇、音乐性意象和音乐性形式在词汇、语意和语法三个层面上共同建构而成。具体而言,其诗中大量使用的音乐术语和乐器名称赋予了诗歌联想性的乐感;有声有色的鸟意象和纯音乐意象,以及乐律十足的赞美诗形式则直接赋予诗歌突出的音乐特征。 Emily Dickinson’s poetry is known for its distinctive musicality, but it has been studied for over 100 years. The musical features of his poems are constructed from the three aspects of vocabulary, semantics and grammar in the form of musical words, musical images and musical forms in his poems. In particular, the musical terms and musical instrument names heavily used in his poems give the poetic associative pleasure; vivid images of birds and images of pure music, as well as well-versed forms of hymns directly give poetry prominent musical characteristics.
