问答题
Give a summary of the main idea of the poem by William Wordsworth and give a brief comment on it in the context of English Romanticism. (10 points)TO THE CUCKOONOT the whole warbling grove in concert heardWhen sunshine follows shower, the breast can thrillLike the first summons, Cuckoo! of thy bill,With its twin notes inseparably paired.The captive "mid damp vaults unsunned, unaired,Measuring the periods of his lonely doom,That cry can reach; and to the sick man"s roomSends gladness, by no languid smile declared.The lordly eagle-race through hostile searchMay perish; time may come when never moreThe wilderness shall hear the lion roar;But, long as cock shall crow from household perchTo rouse the dawn, soft gales shall speed thy wing,And thy erratic voice be faithful to the Spring!
【正确答案】正确答案：This poem shows wordsworth"s view that nature can bring back memories. He uses the Cuckoo that he hears as a man and it reminds him of when he was a schoolboy trying to search for it. "Thou bringest unto me a tale of visionary hours" means that the cuckoo brought back so many memories to the speaker that he could envision them for hours. The poem is about childhood memories making an older man remember a Golden Age when something as simple as a cuckoo bird was amazing. The poem reveals Wordsworth"s aesthetic opinion in poetry creation: to express the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings over beauties of nature in the simple words and lyrics.
