克里丝蒂娜·罗塞蒂是英国文学史上最有才华的女诗人之一,又是一位颇具传奇色彩与神秘气息的精神诗人,但在中国却长期以来不为人们所注意。克里丝蒂娜以17世纪的精神诗人乔治·赫伯特为师,又融入了先拉裴尔派唯美、忧郁与细腻的艺术风格,因此,她的诗作具有双重张力:宗教虔信下的爱情企盼与清寒自制里的热切奔放。哀婉的诗情,难消爱的温热;貌似平静的吟咏中,涌动着情感的激流。这种看似矛盾其实又统一的诗意境界才是她真实的精神与艺术风貌。克里丝蒂娜一生为宗教所困,诗作中的忧伤情调无疑根源于她的宗教情感,使她的诗像带着镣铐跳舞般摇摇晃晃;而她优秀的诗作、生命的热忱却能够冲决宗教的围困。 Christine Rossetti, one of the most talented female poets in the history of British literature, is also a legendary and mysterious spiritual poet, but in China she has long been unnoticed. As a teacher of the seventeenth-century spiritual poet George Herbert, Christina integrates aesthetic, melancholy and delicate art of Pre-Raphaelite, so her poetry has a double tension: under religious devotion Love and hopelessness in the self-made homeless eagerness. Melancholy poetry, difficult to eliminate the warmth of love; seemingly calm chant, surging emotional torrent. In fact, this seemingly contradictory and unified poetic realm is her true spirit and artistic style. Crissina, whose life is religiously distressed, undoubtedly stems from her religious sentiment in poetry, shakes her poems with shackles and dancing; and her excellent poetry and the enthusiasm of life are able to rush Religious siege.
