一把诗歌话语与小说话语摆到一起对照,我们会发现,两者间最突出的差别恐怕要算一为有韵的话语,一为无韵的话语了。的确,凡是诗歌都有韵律(虽有个别不讲韵律的当代诗,但不是诗的主流,属于诗的另类),都要分行书写,而小说则不需要韵律,也不必分行,只要分开段落书写就可以了。但这种差别只是外在表征的差别,还不是内在本质的差别。要寻求这种本质差别,还须进一步追问,为什么小说是无韵的,而诗歌是有韵的?造成这种外在特征差别的根源 A poetic discourse and novel discourse put together with the control, we will find that the most prominent difference between the two probably have to count as a rhyming discourse, a non-rhyme discourse. Indeed, all poems have rhythms (although there are individual poems that do not speak rhythm, but they are not the mainstream of poetry and belong to the alternative of poetry), they must be written in branches rather than rhythms or branches, as long as they are written in separate passages It’s fine But this difference is only the difference of external representation, not the difference of intrinsic essence. In order to seek such an essential difference, we must further ask why the novel is non-rhyme, while poetry is rhyme. The root causes of the difference between these external characteristics
