对《航海者》一诗的鉴赏

作者/王思拓

中世纪作者喜欢写他们自己。“我可以唱首关于自己的歌，讲述我的故事，甚至我儿童的故事。”（《航海者》，第1-2行）带着追求伟大的精神，没有战争和多民族环境对他们的影响，中世纪作者喜欢将自然融入他们对于逝去的过往的思考。在这篇文章中，我将着重讨论中世纪作家。

如何思考逝去的过往，通过诗篇《航海者》。

《航海者》是一篇关于在海上生活而不是在城镇生活的诗，那正是作者在思考自己和他的逝去的时光的时候。他在面对自然与海时经历这一切。“我的双脚冰冷，在寒冷的气氛中，而我的内心火热，对海的饥渴充斥着思想”。这是每个人的经历，当他们在海上漂流几周或者几个月，只是看看自然想想过去。每个人都在已经有的知识和经验上思考，他们的过去。无论是一个中世纪人或是一个现代人都会这样。“我听到无尽的空虚只有海的声音，像冰一样冷的风，奇怪天鹅的歌声”高尔基也描述过天鹅的歌声在他的海燕中。在那首诗中，在革命思潮的影响下，他在想想过去用一种不同于航海者的方法。航海者在思考过去，然而高尔基在他的诗歌展现的态度即为视自身为伟大变革的主宰者，这也是他思考逝去过去的方式。“在苍茫的大海上,狂风卷集着乌云.在乌云和大海之间,海燕像黑色的闪电,在高傲地飞翔. ”（海燕，第1-2 行）这是高尔基的视角在他观海时。然而中世纪作家并没有在思考伟大的社会变革在公元5世纪到9世纪，他们在思考更多的哲学范畴。

我们是谁？在这片土地上发生了什么？这个世界之前是什么样子的，这个世界，与远方的土地，又是怎样的？我的内心的愿望催促我的精神让我又一次远行，我可能会找到一片遥远的陌生的土地，在很远的地方。寻找逝去的过往，同时又想找到远方未知的土地。中世纪作者在思考未知中思考过往。“这一些促使我去远行，这一切促使我去寻找“（航海者，第50-52行）寻找逝去过往的价值伴随着寻找外在世界的价值，去探索的根源，去传播基督信仰的价值观。航海者中的人在思考自己与上帝。“神圣的他活的卑微，宽恕从天而降到他的身上”（航海者，107 行)。那么海燕与航海者两诗关于信仰的思考不同就是从一无所有到得到，或者从得到到改变。然而，中世纪者在思考的是如何将基督教普及世界的可能到任何一个存在的角落。然而，思路没有形成，目标并不明确。一切都是开端。他们只是在想想逝去的神秘过往。他们的愿景只是在幻想阶段，而并不是现实。

这首诗歌航海者是一篇伟大的诗，他们思考的过去也是中国诗人思考过去的方式，愿景也很相同，传播文明与宗教信仰。这个世界总有人在竞争，因为总有人在思考，总有人想改变。

The discussion of poem The Seafarer

Medieval writers like to write about themselves. I can sing a true song of myself, tell of my journeys, how in days of toils.” (The Seafarer, Line 1-2) With the spirit of reaching the greatest, without the impact of war and multinational environment, medievalists would like to enroll the nature into the way of thinking of the lost past. In this essay, I will discuss how the medievalists are thinking of the lost pasts through the poem “The Seafarer.”

The seafarer is a poem about the life by the sea instead of the town, and that is the moment when the author is thinking about himself and his passing time. He is experiencing it thought feeling the nature, the sea itself. “Pinched with cold were my feet, bound by frost in cold fetters, while cares seethed hot around my heart, and hunger gnawed my sea-weary mind.” That is everyone’s experience when they just spend a few weeks or months living by the sea, just experience the nature and think about the past. Everyone is thinking based on their existed knowing knowledge and experience, their past, whether it is medievalists or modern men. “I heard nothing there but the noise of the sea, the ice-cold waves; the wild swan’s song.” Even Gorky has the writing about the swan’s song in his “The Song of the Stormy Petrel” On that poem, under the influence of revolutionary thought, his thinking about the past is a way different then “The Seafarer’s thinking about the past, his poem is showing an attitude that it is the change that they were making, there is a great difference to change the entire social system, that is the way “ The Song of the Stormy Petrel” is showing the change by thinking the past.” High above the silvery ocean winds are gathering the storm-clouds, and between the clouds and ocean proudly wheels the stormy petrel, like a streak of sable lighting.” (Song of the Stormy Petrel, Line 1-2) That is the viewing of Gorky’s writing about the experience by viewing the sea. However, the medieval writers are not thinking about the great social change on the period of 500-900 BC time, they are more focusing on philosophy aspects. Who are we? What happened in the past in this land we are living right now？What are the world losing past before, and even how things should be, and the land far away. “my heart’s desire urges my spirit time and again to travel, so that I might seek a foreign land somewhere far from here.”(The Seafarer, Line 36-38) The mind of looking for the losing past is associated with the mind to look for the foreign land. Medieval writers ae thinking about that past by thinking about the unknown. “All these urge the eager-hearted spirit to travel, who one intends to journey far over the flood-ways.” (The Seafarer, Line 50-52) The value that goes with the lost past is with the value of wondering the outside world, the root of exploring the further land and the future, and the value of spreading the religion of Christianity.

The figure in the Seafarer is thinking from himself to the lord. “Blessed is he who lives humbly; mercy from heaven comes to him.” (The Seafarer, Line 107). Then the difference between the thinking of religion by thinking of passing past from The Song of the Stormy Petrel and The Seafarer is that from a process of nothing to something or, a process of from existing A to an existing B. However, what medievalist is thinking is that the possibility to passing the Christianity to another possible place. However, the thought is not clear and the goal is not direct and did not form yet. Everything is at the starting point. They just think about those possibility thought through thinking about the lost past. Those desire is in the fantasy period, and that is not a reality yet.

The poem The Seafarer is a great poem and the way of thinking the losing past is also a way to write about poem in the same time period in the writers in China around 500-900. The desire is quite similar, to spread the civilization and religion. There always a complication going in the world, there is always someone thinking, there is always someone changing it.
