爱伦·坡在诗歌中着力刻画死亡和黑暗,力图在丑恶中发现美,唤醒人们在污浊的物质世界中对美的渴望,并通过文字
来实现美的永恒以及表达对生命的热爱。透过描写美女的死亡,爱伦·坡实践了其“为诗歌而诗歌”的美学取向,塑造了美的极致“天国之美”,以正视死亡的方式肯定了生命的可贵。
By portraying death and darkness in poems, Allan Poe aims at discovering beauty in death and awakening people's thirst for beauty in the filthy material world. He tries to realize eternal beauty and express his love for life in writing. Poe successfully puts his aesthetic principle "poetry for poetry's sake" into practice through his depicting beautiful women's deaths in poems and accomplishes supreme beauty "beauty in the heaven". Meanwhile, life is highly affirmed by means of facing death boldly.
