如果记住就是忘却If Recollecting Were Forgetting（2/2）

因为今天它们已把这些收集！

If rellectg were fettg,

Then I reber not.

And if fettg, rellectg,

How near I had fot.

And if to iss, were rry,

And to ourn, were gay,

How very blithe the fgers

That gathered this, Today!

作品赏析

这首诗的最大特色就是采用了似是而非的修辞法。乍一看，“如果记住就是忘却”以及“如果忘却就是记住”同时在一个诗节中出现，有点不知所云。但如果我们将它放在爱情的主题之下，我们就能明白原来诗人在表达她矛盾重重的心理。再将这种心理与第二诗节联系起来，诗人的主旨就明确了：她的爱情得到的只是“思念”和“哀悼”！这种似是而非的修辞法的运用，逼真地写出了诗人的心境，使得诗歌形神合一。
