17世纪英国伟大诗人约翰·弥尔顿,曾因创作出《失乐园》等气势恢宏的史诗而著称于世,作为英国文艺复兴时期的巨人,其思想受到文艺复兴和宗教改革的双重影响。《梦亡妻》是他十四行诗中的代表作,诗歌将叙事形式并置于梦境铺陈的情景中,表达了失去爱妻的深切痛苦及无限缅怀之情;诗歌频繁运用了古希腊罗马和基督教两种文化经典中的神话意象,对诗人深沉悲痛的情感表达和宏阔深邃的精神世界描述起到了画龙点睛的关键作用。 John Milton, the great British poet in the 17th century, was famous for creating magnificent epics such as Paradise Lost. As a giant in the English Renaissance, his ideas were influenced both by Renaissance and religious reform. The “dream wife” is his masterpiece in Sonnet’s poetry. His poetry combines the narrative form in the scene of dream expression, expresses the deep pain and infinite memory of losing his wife; poetry frequently uses the ancient Greek and Roman and Christian The mythical images of the two cultural classics, their deep sad expression of emotions and the grand and deep descriptions of the spiritual world have all played key roles in the finishing touches.
