2月23日濟慈（John Keats）
（西元1795.10.31—1821.2.23）
英國詩人。棄醫從文。浪漫派代表，詩風色彩斑斕、細膩幽深。生前未獲文壇重視，英年謝世後才獲得極高的評價。著名詩作包括〈恩底彌翁〉、〈聖艾格尼絲之夜〉、〈夜鶯頌〉和〈致秋天〉等。
近來的官吏，在成為外交官或大臣以後，便隨之喪失了人性。我們全都在這股官僚習氣中，費力地喘息。……而今，一個人的偉大，不再是因為他的高尚品行，竟是由扣在鈕孔上的徽章數目所決定的。
世上最傑出的作家都來自於英國的重要理由之一，在於英國社會對待這些作家的方式：生前摧殘蹂躪、死後榮耀加冠。這些作家大都走過了人生的坎坷曲徑，嘗遍了社會的辛酸苦難。
節自《書簡集》
"To Autumn" by John Keats
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.
"濟慈不僅是天才的詩人、見解卓絕的文論家，也是性格開朗、善解人意的普通人，《評傳》在向我們揭示濟慈驚人之詩才、不凡之詩論的同時，也讓我們看到了他對 親情、友情的看重，還有他的不甘示弱、慷慨大度……濟慈是傅修延的學術初戀，是其碩士論文的研究對象。如今，近三十年過去了，傅修延仍然對濟慈懷有一種 “朝聖者的靈魂”。為了撰寫此書，傅修延還利用在英國倫敦大學國王學院做訪問研究的機會，對濟慈一生的行蹤進行了系統的實地尋訪。正因為如此，《評傳》把 濟慈復原到了其生活的社會歷史和生存環境之中，讓我們看到了濟慈之所以為濟慈的根本原因。"2008-06-13 作者：楊莉

The life of Keats provides a unique opportunity for
the study of literary greatness and of what permits or encourages its
development. Its interest is deeply human and moral, in the most
capacious sense of the words. In this authoritative biography—the first
full-length life of Keats in almost forty years—the man and the poet are
portrayed with rare insight and sympathy. In spite of a scarcity of
factual data for his early years, the materials for Keats’s life are
nevertheless unusually full. Since most of his early poetry has
survived, his artistic development can be observed more closely than is
possible with most writers; and there are times during the period of his
greatest creativity when his personal as well as his artistic life can
be followed week by week.
The development of Keats’s poetic craftsmanship proceeds simultaneously with the steady growth of qualities of mind and character. Walter Jackson Bate has been concerned to show the organic relationship between the poet’s art and his larger, more broadly humane development. Keats’s great personal appeal—his spontaneity, vigor, playfulness, and affection—are movingly recreated; at the same time, his valiant attempt to solve the problem faced by all modern poets when they attempt to achieve originality and amplitude in the presence of their great artistic heritage is perceptively presented.
In discussing this matter, Mr. Bate says, “The pressure of this anxiety and the variety of reactions to it constitute one of the great unexplored factors in the history of the arts since 1750. And in no major poet, near the beginning of the modern era, is this problem met more directly than it is in Keats. The way in which Keats was somehow able, after the age of twenty-two, to confront this dilemma, and to transcend it, has fascinated every major poet who has used the English language since Keats’s death and also every major critic since the Victorian era.”
Mr. Bate has availed himself of all new biographical materials, published and unpublished, and has used them selectively and without ostentation, concentrating on the things that were meaningful to Keats. Similarly, his discussions of the poetry are not buried beneath the controversies of previous critics. He approaches the poems freshly and directly, showing their relation to Keats’s experience and emotions, to premises and values already explored in the biographical narrative. The result is a book of many dimensions, not a restricted critical or biographical study but a fully integrated whole.

Keat’s Ode on a Grecian Urn// Steps To An Ecology Of Mind
讀Keat’s Ode on a Grecian Urn 時，不斷追問：
” What is the whole poem about?”
“ What exactly has Keats seen ( or chosen to show us) depicted on the urn he is describing?”.
人類學：“What is the general form of their life?” “ What exactly are the vehicles in which that form is embodied?”
我們可注意「form、vehicle」；另一方面，科學之一義為「描繪與敘述」。
希臘古甕是其文化形象
（一景是群眾狂歡； 二景是青年追逐一姑娘； 三景是群眾牽一牛在街上走，要去宰牛祭天。每一景都是monent of truth，對詩人而言，則是moment of beauty），『希臘古甕曲』是一種了解與解釋。

Thou still unravish’d bride of quietness. 你是「平靜的」還未曾失身的新娘，
Thou foster-child of silence and slow time, 你是「沉默」和「悠久」抱養的女孩，
Sylvan historian, who canst thus express 林野的史家，你賽過我們的詞章，
A flowery tale more sweetly than your rhyme: 講一篇花哨的故事這樣有風采；
What leaf-fring’d legend haunts about thy shape 枝葉邊緣的傳說纏繞你一身，
Of deities or mortals, or of both, 是講的Tempe或Arcady山坳
In Tempe or the dale of Arcady? 一些神，還是人，還是神同人在一起？
What men or gods are these? What maidens loath? 這些是什麼人，什麼神，什麼樣小女人
What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?不願意？怎麼樣猛追？怎麼樣脫逃？
What pipes and timbres? What wild ecstasy? 什麼笛？什麼鐃鈸？什麼樣狂喜？
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard 聽見的樂調固然美，無從聽見的
Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on; 卻更美；柔和的笛管，繼續吹下去，
Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear’d, 不對官能而更動人愛憐的
Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone: 對靈魂吹你們有調無聲的仙曲：
Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave 美少年，你在樹底下，你不能拋開
Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare; 你的唱歌，這些樹也永不光禿；
Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss, 勇敢的忠情漢，你永遠親不了嘴，
Though winning near the goal-yet, don’t grieve; 雖然離目標不遠了－也不用悲哀；
She cannot fade, though thou has not thy bliss, 她消失不了， 雖然你得不到豔福，
For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair! 你永遠會愛，她也會永遠嬌美。
Ah, happy, happy boughs! That cannot shed 阿，幸福的永遠枝條！永不會
Your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu, 掉葉，也永遠都不會告別春天；
And happy melodist, unwearied, 幸福的樂師，永遠也不會覺得累，
For ever piping songs, for ever new; 永遠吹奏著曲調，又永遠新鮮；
More happy love! More happy, happy love! 更加幸福的，更加幸福的愛情！
Foe ever warm and still to be enjoy’d. 永遠的熱烈，永遠都可以享受
For ever panting, and for ever young; 永遠的喘氣，永遠的年富力強；
All blessing human passion far above, 遠遠的超出了人欲的糾纏不清，
That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloy’s, 並不叫一顆心充滿了饜足和憂愁，
A burning forehead, and a parching tongue. 並不叫額上發燒，舌頭上焦黃。
Who are these coming to the sacrifice? 這些前來祭祀的都是歇什麼人？
To what green altar, O mysterious priest, 神秘的祭師阿，上什麼青青的祭壇
Lead’st thou that heifer lowing at the skies, 牽去的這條牛，讓它對天空哀呻，
And all her silken flanks with garlands drest? 給她絲光的腰身都套了花環？
What little town by river or sea-shore, 那一座小城市，靠海的，或者靠的河，
Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel, 或者靠了山築起的太平的城堡，
Is emptied of its folk, this pious morn? 出空了這群人，虔誠趕清早去進香？
And, little town, thy streets for evermore小城市，你的街道會永遠沉默，
Will silent be; and not a soul to tell 也不再有一位生靈能回來講明了
Why thou are desolate, can e’er return.你可以從此轉成了這般荒涼。
O Attic shape, fair attitude! With brede 希臘的形狀；希臘的姿態！滿處
Of marble men and maiden overwrought, 飾滿了大理石的男男女女，
With forest branches and the trodden weed; 枝葉在搖曳青草在腳底下起伏；
Thou silent form! Dost tease us out of thought 靜默的形體，引我們越出了塵慮，
As doth eternity: Cold Pastoral! 像「永恆」引我們一樣：冰冷的牧歌！
When old age shall this generation waste 等老年斷送了我們一代的來路，
Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe 你還會存在，看人家受到另一些
Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say’st, 苦惱的時候，作為朋友來申說
“Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty,”-that is all 「美即是真，真即是美」，－這就是
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. 你們在地上所知和須知的一切。
