三、Francis Bacon弗兰西斯•培根1561~1626
Bacon’s quote
1、knowledge is power 知识就是力量。
2、Beauty is as summer fruits, which are easy
to corrupt, and cannot
last; and for the most
part it makes a dissolute youth, and an age
a
little out of countenance 美犹如盛夏的水果,是容易腐烂而难保持
的
,世上有许多美人,她们有过放荡的青春,却迎受着愧悔的晚年。
3、Natural
abilities are like natural plants, that need
pruning
by study; and studies themselves do
give forth directions too much
at
large, except they be bounded in by
experience.
天生的能力好像
天然生成的植物,必须通过学习加以修整;
然而学习本身如若不由实践去约
束,必然方向纷杂而漫无目的。
4、Virtue is
like a rich stone, best plain set
美德好比宝石,在
朴素背景的衬托下反而更华丽。

Persy Bysshe Shelley波西•比希•雪莱1792~1822
评价:
one of the major English
Romantic poets
is critically regarded among
the finest lyric poets in the English
language
Shelley was famous for his association with
John Keats and Lord
Byron.
作品:
Theme: the drama celebraies
man’s victory over tyranny and
oppression
诗辩
Theme: The
author express his eagerness to enjoy the
boundless freedom
from the reality. Compare
the west wind to destroyer of the old who drives
the last signs of life from the trees, and
preserver of the new who scatter
the seads
shich sill come to life in the spring. This is a
poem about
renewal, about the wind blowing
life back into dead things, implying not
just
an arc of life (which would end at death) but a
cycle, which only
starts again when something
dies.
Comment: Percy Bysshe Shelley's to the
West Windis written in
iambic pentameter. It
contains five sonnet length stanzas, each with a
closing couplet. The rhyming scheme form is
aba bcb cdc ded ee. The tone
is poignant. Many
will agree that this poem is an invocation for an
unseen
force to take control and revive life.

John
Keats约翰•济慈1795~1821
“美即是真,真即是美”是他的著名诗句。
作品:
On First Looking into Chapman’s
Homer 《初探恰普罗译荷马》
“Sleep and Poetry ”《睡与诗》
Endymion 《恩底弥翁》
Isabella《伊莎贝拉》
Four great odes:
Theme: The theme of John
Keats' poem, Autumnis that change is
both
natural and beautiful. The poem praises the
glories of the fall
season by using almost
every type of imagery to both charm and appeal
to the reader.
Comment: The speaker in the
poem acknowledges that time passes by, but
also asserts that this change usually yields
something new and better
than what came
before. Each of the poem's three stanzas
represents the
evolving of two different types
of change. One type of change shown
in the
poem is the change of periods in a day.
