2、 was later regarded as the poetic revolution. Wordsworth and Coleridge were the major representatives of this movement. They explored new theories and innovated new techniques in poetry writing. In their separate 各自的ways, they saw poetry as a healing能治愈的 energy; they believed that poetry could purif

3、y both individual souls and the society. Wordsworths theory of poetry is calling for呼唤 simple themes drawn绘画 from humble地位卑微的 life expressed in the language of ordinary people. The preface 序言to the second edition版本 of the “Lyrical Ballads叙事诗” acts as a manifesto宣言 for the new school学派 and sets forth

4、 阐述，宣布his own critical creed信条. Wordsworth defines the poet as a “man speaking to men,” and poetry as “the spontaneous无意识的 overflow充溢 of powerful feelings, which originates in emotion recollected 回忆in tranquility宁静.”Exercise 2It is simple enough to say that since books have classes 分类 fiction, biogr

5、aphy, poetry we should separate them and take from each what is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred模糊不清的 and divided分开的 minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of b

6、iography that it shall be flattering奉承的, of history that it shall enforce 强破our own prejudices. If we could banish放逐 all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow-worker and accomplice. If you hang back, an

7、d reserve, and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible fineness, from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the p

8、resence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite.然而，人们对书籍往往求非所予。开卷之时，我们常常思想模糊，思维割裂，苛求小说真实，认定诗歌造作，视传记为美化，期望史书认同一己之见。阅读之时，若能摒弃所有此类成见，那将是一个可喜的开端。不

9、要对作者指指点点，而应尝试设身处地，做作者的同道和“同谋”。若是你一开始便故步自封，先入为主，求全责备，你就不可能最大限度地从所读的书中获益，但是，你若能大大敞开思想，那么，开篇的那几行曲径通幽的文字，那若明若暗的微妙表达和深意将把你带到一个独具特色的灵魂面前。投身其中，知晓此境，不用很久，你就会发现作者正在传递给你的，或试图传递给你的，原来如此显豁。 Exercise 3If people mean anything at all by the expression “untimely 过早的death”, they must believe that some deaths run on

10、a better schedule than others. Death in old age is rarely called untimely a long life is thought to be a full one. But with the passing of a young person, one assumes that the best years lay ahead and the measure of that life was still to be taken.History denies this, of course. Among prominent summ

11、er deaths, one recalls those of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean, whose lives seemed equally brief and complete. Writers cannot bear the fact that poet John Keats died at 26, and only half playfully judge their own lives as failures when they pass that year. The idea that the life cut short is unfulfilled is illogical because lives are measured by the impressions they leave on the world and by their intensity and virtue.
