普拉斯的诗歌展示了人类内心世界的另一个世界。她基本上是运用自己熟悉的材料——日常生活的东西,来表现悲观绝望和混乱脱节。这首短诗是普拉斯写给自己孩子的。她希望孩子看到世界的美好、单纯,没有衰老、痛苦;然而,希望似乎常常与现实相反。普拉斯自己在写下这首诗两周后就自杀了,留下这个不到一岁的孩子,可见她本人的生活有多么痛苦、无望,就像“这漆黑,没有星星的屋顶。”诗歌的前后对比鲜明而强烈,开篇时的期许有多热切,结尾的绝望就有多深。诗歌虽短,表达的情感却是浓烈的。孩子的世界单纯而美好,但却十分脆弱,愿每个孩子都有一位守护天使,守护这段人生中最美好的时光。 Plath’s poems show another world in human inner world. She basically uses the familiar materials - everyday things to show pessimistic despair and confusion. This short poem is written by Plays for their children. She wants children to see the beauty of the world, simple, without aging, suffering; however, hope often seems to be the opposite of reality. Plath committed suicide two weeks after he wrote the poem, leaving the child less than one year old to see how painful and hopeless she was in her own life, like a dark, starless roof. "Before and after poetry contrast sharp and strong, how eager to start the opening, how deep the end of despair. Although poetry is short, the expression of emotion is strong. The child’s world is pure and beautiful, but very fragile. May every child have a guardian angel who will guard the best of this life.
