of life and politics:to enjoy freedom and to fight against tyranny Background of the writing written on a day when the weather was unpredictable and windy Shelleys notes“This poem was chiefly written in a wood that skirts the Arno,near Florence,and on a day when that tempestuous wind,whose temperature is at once mild and animating,was collecting the vapors which pour down the autumnal rains.They began,as I foresaw,at sunset with a violent tempest of hail and rain,attended by that magnificent thunder and lightning peculiar to the Cisalpine regions.”Florence was the home of Dante,creator of terza rima,the form of his Divine Comedy.Close reading O wild West Wind,thou breath of Autumns being,Thou,from whose unseen presence the leaves dead Are driven,like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,Yellow,and black,and pale,and hectic red,Pestilence-stricken multitudes:O thou,Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed The winged seeds,where they lie cold and low,Each like a corpse within its grave,until Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow Her clarion oer the dreaming earth,and fill(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)With living hues and odors plain and hill:Wild Spirit,which art moving everywhere;Destroyer and preserver;hear,oh,hear!Stanza

stanza?(lightning,approaching storm,bursting black rain,fire and hail)suggest the coming of violent force.Question 6What figures of speech are used in this stanza?allusion:fierce Maenad metaphor:tangled boughs of heaven and ocean;angles of rain and lightning simile:loose clouds like decaying leaves;like the bright hair uplifted from the head personification:thou dirge of the dying

from his summer dreams The blue Mediterranean,where he lay,Lulled by the coil of his crystalline streams,Beside a pumice isle in Baiaes bay,And saw in sleep old palaces and towers Quivering within the waves intenser day,All overgrown with azure moss and flowers So sweet,the sense faints picturing them!Thou For whose path the Atlantics level powers Cleave themselves into chasms,while far below The sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear The sapless foliage of the ocean,know Thy voice,and suddenly grow gray with fear,And tremble and despoil themselves:oh,hear!是你，你将蓝色的地中海唤醒，是你，你将蓝色的地中海唤醒，而它曾经昏睡了一整个夏天，而它曾经昏睡了一整个夏天，被澄澈水流的回旋催眠入梦，被澄澈水流的回旋催眠入梦，就在巴亚海湾的一个浮石岛边，就在巴亚海湾的一个浮石岛边，它梦见了古老的宫殿和楼阁它梦见了古老的宫殿和楼阁,而且都生满青苔、开满花朵，而且都生满青苔、开满花朵，那芬芳真迷人欲醉！呵，为了给你那芬芳真迷人欲醉！呵，为了给你

虽然枝叶扶疏，却没有精力；虽然枝叶扶疏，却没有精力；在水天辉映的波影里抖颤在水天辉映的波影里抖颤听到你的声音，它们已吓得发青：听到你的声音，它们已吓得发青：一边颤栗，一边自动萎缩：哦，你听！一边颤栗，一边自动萎缩：哦，你听！Stanza III analysisThe 3rd Stanza deals with the awakening of nature.It relates the winds effect on the waves in the sea:The Mediterranean has been awakened by the West Wind out of his long sleep in which it has seen old palaces and towers“which are covered with moss and flowers.The scenery cannot be described with words,because its view robs Shelley and everyone else of his senses.It is difficult to describe nature.Shelley tries to find metaphors which presents nature as a person.But this stanza also tries to conveys the power of the West Wind.Because of it,the Atlantic separates and the sea-blooms and oozy woods change their colour and become grey.The Atlantic like the dead leaves obeys the wind.This makes plain how powerful the wind,on the one hand,and the power of the cycle of life,on the other hand,are,because the wind is only one part of the cycle.The verse ends like the others.Stanza 4If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear;If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee;A wave to pant beneath thy power,and share The impulse of thy strength,only less free Than thou,O uncontrollable!If even I were as in my boyhood,and could be The comrade of thy wanderings over Heaven,As then,when to outstrip thy skiey speed Scarce seemed a vision;I would neer have striven As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need.Oh,lift me as a wave,a leaf,a cloud!I fall upon the thorns of life!I bleed!A heavy weight of hours has chained and bowed One too like thee:tameless,and swift,and proud.哎，假如我是一片枯叶被你浮起，哎，假如我是一片枯叶被你浮起，假如我是能和你飞跑的云雾，假如我是能和你飞跑的云雾，是一个波浪，和你的威力同喘息，是一个波浪，和你的威力同喘息，假如我分有你的脉搏，仅仅不如假如我分有你的脉搏，仅仅不如 你那么自由，哦，无法约束的生命！你那么自由，哦，无法约束的生命！假如我能像在少年时，凌风而舞假如我能像在少年时，凌风而舞 便成了你的伴侣，悠游天空便成了你的伴侣，悠游天空（因为呵，那时候，要想追你上云霄，（因为呵，那时候，要想追你上云霄，似乎并非梦幻），我就不致像如今似乎并非梦幻），我就不致像如今 这样焦躁地要和你争相祈祷。这样焦躁地要和你争相祈祷。哦，举起我吧，当我是水波、树叶、浮云！哦，举起我吧，当我是水波、树叶、浮云！我跌在生活底荆棘上，我流血了！我跌在生活底荆棘上，我流血了！这被岁月的重轭所制服的生命这被岁月的重轭所制服的生命 原是和你一样：骄傲、轻捷而不驯。原是和你一样：骄傲、轻捷而不驯。Question 8Why does the poet hope to a dead leave or a swift cloud or a wave?to fly with the wind to share the impulse of strength to be as free as windQuestions 9-10Whats kind of hope does the poet express?old past days come back again “if I were as in my boyhood”to be comrade of the wind”in my sore need I fall upon the thorns of life.I bleed!a heavy weight of hours has chained and bowed/one too like thee:tameless,swift and proud.What kind of mood is uttered?What dose it indicate?sad,sorrow life has changed him,who is“chained and bowed”he wishes to get youth and liberty back Stanza 5Make me thy lyre,even as the forest is:What if my leaves are falling like its own!The tumult of thy mighty harmonies Will take from both a deep,autumnal tone,Sweet though in sadness.Be thou,Spirit fierce,My spirit!Be thou me,impetuous one!Drive my dead thoughts over the universe Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth!And,by the incantation of this verse,Scatter,as from an unextinguished hearth Ashes and sparks,my words among mankind!Be through my lips to unawakened earth The trumpet of a prophecy!O Wind,If Winter comes,can Spring be far behind?把我当作你的竖琴吧，有如树林：把我当作你的竖琴吧，有如树林：尽管我的叶落了，那有什么关系！尽管我的叶落了，那有什么关系！你巨大的合奏所振起的音乐你巨大的合奏所振起的音乐 将染有树林和我的深邃的秋意：将染有树林和我的深邃的秋意：虽忧伤而甜蜜。呵，但愿你给予我虽忧伤而甜蜜。呵，但愿你给予我狂暴的精神！奋勇者呵，让我们合一！狂暴的精神！奋勇者呵，让我们合一！请把我枯死的思想向世界吹落，请把我枯死的思想向世界吹落，让它像枯叶一样促成新的生命！让它像枯叶一样促成新的生命！哦，请听从这一篇符咒似的诗歌，哦，请听从这一篇符咒似的诗歌，就把我的话语，像是灰烬和火星就把我的话语，像是灰烬和火星 从还未熄灭的炉火向人间播散！从还未熄灭的炉火向人间播散！让预言的喇叭通过我的嘴唇让预言的喇叭通过我的嘴唇 把昏睡的大地唤醒吧！要是冬天把昏睡的大地唤醒吧！要是冬天 已经来了，西风呵，春日怎能遥远？已经来了，西风呵，春日怎能遥远？Question 11How do you understand leaves in stanza 5?Any connection with the leaves in stanza 1?“my leaves”-leaves of the poets-leaves of thought(“dead thoughts”=withered leaves)leaves(stanza 1)-winged seeds to quicken a new birthQuestion 12What does the incantation of this verse mean?with the help of the poem to scatter my words like“ashes and sparks”“the trumpet of a prophecy!O wind,if winter comes,can spring be far behind?Question 13What kind of artistic attitude does the poet express in the 5th stanza?the function of poetry:Poetry is the indispensable agent of civilization.Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.Poetry can play a very important part in the spiritual life of societyQuestion 14The poem ends it with a question-rhetorical?Or indicating Shelleys own uncertainty?hopes for radical social change,or a rebirth of personal inspirationOverall AnalysisThe West Wind represents liberty,the untamedness of nature and power for Shelley.The wind is the changing part in nature,which also controls heaven and the sea.It can stand for death,but at the same time it means life.It is a destroyer and a preserver.Shelley sees the wind as a chance to get a new inspiration and to transmit his ideas and prophecy.Shelleys criticism in
