美国内战前夕到内战结束期间,是艾米莉·狄金森诗歌创作的高峰时期。在战争年代,狄金森正在努力探寻她的诗歌创作之路并于死后成就一名诗人。战争引起了狄金森的内心动荡和斗争,她开始思考并比较战争的意义和作为诗人进行的灵魂斗争的意义。诗人既赞美痛惜战场上的勇士,又质疑血腥的战争,强调殉理想的灵魂斗争才能永远鼓舞后人。 During the period from the eve of the American Civil War to the end of the civil war, it was the peak of Emily Dickinson’s poetry writing. In the war years, Dickinson was struggling to explore her poetry and to accomplish a poet after her death. The war caused Dickinson’s inner turmoil and struggle. She began to think and compare the significance of war and the soul struggle as a poet. The poet lauded both the warriors on the battlefield and the bloody war, stressing that the soul struggle of martyrdom would always inspire future generations.
