对本·琼森的《歌:致西丽娅》的提问

By aXiol0xR 12-09 30次浏览

Here are targeted questions about Ben Jonson’s Song: To Celia (covering themes, imagery, form, and context):

1. In Song: To Celia, Jonson uses two central metaphors: the "drink" (from Celia’s eyes/kiss) and the "roses" (sent and returned). How do these metaphors work together to convey the speaker’s vision of love (e.g., is it physical, spiritual, or both)? Use specific lines (e.g., "I will not look for wine" or "Since when it grows, and smells, I swear, / Not of itself, but thee") to support your answer.

2. Jonson was a key figure in the "Cavalier Poets" tradition, which often celebrated wit, elegance, and carpe diem. How does Song: To Celia reflect Cavalier poetic values? Compare it to a core trait of the movement (e.g., restraint in emotion, clever wordplay).

3. The poem’s tone is both playful and reverent. How does Jonson balance these two moods (e.g., the lightness of the "kiss on the cup" vs. the seriousness of "soul’s thirst") to shape the speaker’s attitude toward Celia?

4. Some readers argue the poem is about unrequited love (e.g., Celia returns the rose, and the speaker idealizes her from afar). Do you agree? What details in the poem (e.g., the rose’s "smell of thee" or the "holy thirst") suggest the nature of their relationship?

5. Song: To Celia follows a tight metrical and rhyme scheme (e.g., alternating lines of iambic tetrameter/trimeter, ABAB rhyme). How does this formal structure enhance the poem’s charm or emotional impact (e.g., making the speaker’s longing feel controlled yet intense)?

Would you like me to refine one of these questions to focus more on the poem’s contrast between "earthly desire" and "spiritual love"?
