《最后一眼，最后一言》

1 、she practiced taking the last look from the time she began to write. 2 、How was Plath—without ruining her poems—to retain authentic features of her imagination, such as the symbols of melodrama and violence absorbed from her childhood literary matrix of legends, fairy tales, and catastrophic myths from Bluebeard to Dracula? Plath’s later interesting revisions of these theatrical dramatis personae created them as ambiguous characters, so that the melodrama is generated by a conflict in which no clear moral discrimination can be made between protagonist and antagonist. Plath herself could only rarely play the part of an innocent victim; she felt more honest, in her most conspicuously staged poems, when playing the man-eating Lady Lazarus pitting her obscene striptease against her voyeuristic audience, or the vampire-killing daughter vanquishing the vampire paren... 3 、As an artist, Plath explicitly desired four things: honesty of perception, clarity of analysis, discipline of expression, and moral strength.

《自然的部分，我们的部分》

1 、It took me some time for me to discover that poetry--especially modern poetry--did not seem accessible or natural to many readers; this gulf in understanding prompted the substance and tone of most of my reviews.My own preference is to focus on poets one by one, to find in each the idiosyncratic voice wonderfully different from any other.It is given to only a handful of people in each century, in any language, to invent a written voice that sounds like no one else's. To write about them is to try to explain, first to oneself and then to others, what common note they strike and how they make it new. To anyone brought up on Shakespeare, Keats, and Tennyson, the accommodation to the modern--in spite of the links which outnumber the discontinuities--must be sometimes a painful pleasur... 2 、The preeminent question life asked of Stevens was whether the sublime was livable.Steven's sense of the world became one of extreme relativity, and an almost killing skepticism arose in him about his own statements, even those most deeply felt. "The things that we build or grow or do are so little when compared to the things that we suggest or believe or desire"......it is perhaps only the necessary linear form of poetry which prompts us to interpret poems more allegorically than we normally do the visual arts and forces us to see a poem as a problem secreting its own resolutions....the poem finds a middle ground of tone which is neither grand nor satiric, but may be called evaluative: ...I pursuedAnd still pursue, the origin and courseOf love, but until now I never knewThat f... 3 、"I can but put my weapon up, andBow you out...Since in your hearing words are mute, which to my sensesAre a shout"Jean Garrigue, so far her best critic, wrote,"Of Observations (a volume of her poems) one might say: it is first and last a voice. The voice of sparkling talk and sometimes very lofty talk, glittering with authority.""But we prove, we do not explain our birth.""I do these/ things which I do, which please/ no one but myself."She wrote her great poem "Marriage," in which she examined, satirized, envied, and dismissed--as a possibility for herself--that institution in which two "I"s attempt a real speech."The lion's leap would be mitigated almost to harmlessness if the lion were clawless, so precision is both impact and exactitude, as with surgery."
