丝蒂薇·史密斯是20世纪上半叶英国著名的女诗人。她的诗歌在貌似轻松的形式背后常常隐含着庄重而严肃的主题。孤独是其诗歌的重要主题之一,它作为媒介,将诗人与20世纪初期西方人的生存状态紧紧地联系在了一起。宗教信仰是其诗歌的另一主题,诗人对待宗教的犹疑态度,主要体现在对上帝形象的消解上,以及对此岸世界与彼岸世界的理解上。对死亡的关怀是其诗歌的第三个主题,死亡对每个人来说都是本真的存在,但是在诗人看来,它给人们带来的不是痛苦,而是新生和希望。 Stephan Smith is a famous British poet in the first half of the twentieth century. Her poetry often implies solemn and serious themes behind seemingly relaxed forms. Loneliness is one of the most important themes of his poetry. As a medium, loneliness connects the poet closely with the living conditions of Westerners in the early 20th century. Religious belief is another theme of his poetry. The poet’s hesitant attitude toward religion mainly manifests itself in the resolution of the image of God and the understanding of the other shore and the other side of the world. Concern for death is the third theme of his poem. Death is an authentic existence for everyone, but to the poet it is not pain, but new life and hope.
