惠特曼不愧是倡导诗歌创作开放和相对形式的代表 ,因为他从未视其诗作完美无缺。虽然他希望自己的诗歌与大自然和谐一致 ,但他同时意识到语言抽象概念的局限性。他还认为 ,诗歌具有一种独特奇异的魅力 ,即诗的“合唱”的总体效果。本文拟从形式主义的新视角 :句法结构 ,音韵和意象手段 ,对惠特曼的这一创作思想进行新的评价。 Whitman deserves to be the representative of open and relative advocacy of poetry because he never treats his poetry as perfect. Although he hopes his poetry is in harmony with nature, he also realizes the limitations of the concept of language abstraction. He also believes that poetry has a unique and strange charm, that is, the overall effect of the poet’s “chorus.” This article attempts to make a new evaluation of Whitman ’s thought of creation from a new perspective of formalism: syntactic structure, phonology and imagery.
