The Fly
Little Fly
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brush’d away
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink & sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength & breath,
And the want
Of thought is death;
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.
赏析:
在这首《苍蝇》中,诗人把人和苍蝇的位置对调过来,这样看世界、看生命、看追求就有另外一种境界。在生活中,人难道不就和苍蝇一样?人所写的诗篇和苍蝇的歌唱又有什么区别?接着,诗人要我们理解,若思想是生命呼吸和力量,对思想的渴望是死亡,那么,人蝇之间就没有区别。布莱克认为,人必须挣脱一切束缚,解放、强化人的合理欲望,才能达到一种最有活力、最有能量的状态。
