19世纪的美国传奇女诗人艾米丽·狄金森以其独辟的语言表达形式以及奇异新颖的意象而闻名于世。她为后人留下近1800首诗,其中有关死亡主题的诗作超过三分之一。其最具代表性的两首死亡诗《我听见苍蝇的嗡嗡声——当我死时》和《因为我不能停步等候死亡》,表明诗人对待死亡的双重态度。一方面,她认为死亡给人带来恐惧、痛苦和不安,因而对死亡持有消极的态度;而另一方面,由于受到基督教的影响,她又认为死亡是通向永生的必经之路,因此她又肯定死亡。
Emily Dickinson, a 19th century American legendary poet, is best known for her unique forms of language expression and singular and novel images. She has left nearly 1,800 poems for posterity, of which more than one-third are poems about the death theme. Two of her most representative death poems, “I hear the buzz of flies - when I die” and “because I can not wait to die” show the poet’s dual approach to death. On the one hand, she believes that death gives people a sense of fear, pain and anxiety and thus holds a negative attitude toward death; on the other hand, she also believes that death is the only way leading to eternal life because of Christian influence. So she must die again.
