关于叶芝《当你老了》的提问

By 杨康妮2022010956 12-05 19次浏览

In W. B. Yeats’s “When You Are Old,” how does the shift from future decay to present regret re-engineer the beloved’s memory, and what does this retroactive gaze reveal about the speaker’s own desire for permanence?

1 所有答案

  • By projecting the addressee into a night-lit, book-held future, Yeats forces her to look backward from a wrinkled present to the “moment when she passed him by.” The imagined scene becomes a mirror that reflects not her beauty but his unrequited devotion, converting her aging body into evidence of his own constancy. This backward illumination exposes the poem’s true engine: the speaker’s wish to inscribe himself indelibly into her retrospective consciousness, achieving through poetry the permanence that flesh and feeling were denied.
