狄金森死亡主题诗歌中往往存在着线性时间与循环时间的双重维度,如人类从生到死的线性历程与大自然的轮回往复。但诗人更青睐自主的循环时间而不是依赖性的线性时间,并突破了人类时间(线性时间)与自然时间(循环时间)的二分法,通过人类与自然的角色互换与互喻,使逝者在自主选择的前提下走出线性时间之流、重入生命循环之圈。 Dickinson’s death theme poetry tends to have dual dimensions of linear time and cycle time, such as the linear course of human being’s death from the cycle of nature and the reincarnation of nature. However, the poets prefer the independent cycle time instead of the linear time of dependence and break through the dichotomy between human time (linear time) and natural time (cycle time). Through the exchange of human beings and nature, In the premise of independent choice out of linear time flow, re-enter the circle of life cycle.
