词条 | abstract poem |
释义 | abstract poem a term coined by Edith Sitwell (Sitwell, Dame Edith) to describe a poem in which the words are chosen for their aural quality rather than specifically for their sense or meaning. An example from “Popular Song” in Sitwell's Façade (1923) follows: The red retriever-haired satyr Can whine and tease her and flatter, But Lily O'Grady, Silly and shady, In the deep shade is a lazy lady; Now Pompey's dead, Homer's read, Heliogabalus lost his head, And shade is on the brightest wing, And dust forbids the bird to sing. |
