莎士比亚的十四行诗总体上表现了一个思想：爱征服一切。他的诗充分肯定了人的价值、赞颂了人的尊严、个人的理性作用。他的十四行诗大约创作于1590年至1598年之间，此时正是十六世纪欧洲文艺复兴传到英国的时期，因此，反映了这一时期的人文主义思想，具有很强的时代背景。

诗的开头将“你”和夏天相比较。自然界的夏天正处在绿的世界中，万物繁茂地生长着，繁阴遮地，是自然界的生命最昌盛的时刻。那醉人的绿与鲜艳的花一道，将夏天打扮得五彩缤纷、艳丽动人。但是，“你”却比夏天可爱多了，比夏天还要温婉。五月的狂风会作践那可爱的景色，夏天的期限太短，阳光酷热地照射在繁阴班驳的大地上，那熠熠生辉的美丽不免要在时间的流动中凋残。这自然界最美的季节和“你”相比也要逊色不少。

而“你”能克服这些自然界的不足。“你”在最灿烂的季节不会凋谢，甚至“你”美的任何东西都不会有所损失。“你”是人世的永恒，“你”会让死神的黑影在遥远的地方停留，任由死神的夸口也不会死去。“你”是什么？“你”与人类同在，你在时间的长河里不朽。那人类精神的精华——诗，是你的形体吗？或者，你就是诗的精神，就是人类的灵魂。

诗歌在前面充分地发挥表达的层次，在充分的铺垫之后，用两句诗结束全诗，点明主题。全诗用新颖巧妙的比喻，华美而恰当的修饰使人物形象鲜明、生气鲜活。此诗表达了这样一种思想：美丽的事物可以依靠文学的力量而永远不朽；文学是人所创造的，因此这有宣告了人的不朽。最终巧妙地得出了人文主义的结论。 因此此诗不是一般的爱情诗。

? 以上面所选的第十八号而论，前四行算是“起”，中四行是“承”，都是讲岁月无常，美丽易逝；后四行可以说是“转”，因为全诗到此忽然一变，作者宣告虽然自然界美貌难存，但是人可则可靠诗笔而永保朱颜；最后两行是音韵铿锵(互相押韵)的小结，亦即是“合”。当然，不是每首Shakespeare的十四行诗都有这样清楚的起承转合，但是这种小范围内的曲折变化确是它的特点之一。

第二篇：莎士比亚 十四行诗 23 赏析范文

Appreciation of Shakespeare’s sonnet 23

Sonnet 23

As an unperfect actor on the stage,

Who with his fear is put besides his part,

Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage,

Whose strength's abundance weakens his own heart; 4

So I ,for fear of trust ,forget to say

The perfect ceremony of love's rite,

And in mine own love's strength seem to decay,

O'ercharg'd with burthen of mine own love's might. 8

O let my books be then the eloquence

And dumb presagers of my speaking breast,

Who plead for love, and look for recompense,

More than that tongue that more hasth more express'd. 12

O learn to read what silent love hath writ.

To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine writ.

This sonnet may not be the most famous in the sequence of

Shakespeare's sonnets; it may be the most famous lyric poem in English. Among Shakespeare's works, only lines such as "To be or not to be" and "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" are better-known. But this is one of the most moving lyric poems that I have ever read. There is great use of imagery within the sonnet. This is not to say that the rest of the poems in the book were not good, but this to me was the best, most profound and most beautiful of them. It is mainly due to the simplicity and allegoric of the poem praise of the silent love.

Line 1~8 the construct should be “As an unperfect actor or some fierce thing,” “so I forget to say...and seem to decay”. At first it use simile ” As an unperfect actor on the stage “ to describe the nervous mood. Then another simile” some fierce thing replete with too much rage” The imagery is the very vivid and appropriate. Line 4 “strength's abundance” equal “abundant strength”. “So I ,for fear of trust, forget to say” this is my favourate sentence. It accurately reflect the people’s psychological activity who fall in love with someone.

People sympathize with such a feeling. Line 6 “perfect” work in concert with 1 “unperfect”. Thus the sonnet becomes more completed and logical. Hightly praised the talent of Shakespeare. In line 12, it is metonymy that means the tongue reflect the glib people. Metonymy, rhetoric, means the substitution of the name of an attribute or adjunct for that of the thing meant. In line14, it is synaesthesia. “to hear with eyes” means to read with eyes ,thus, reading.this tell us do not be credulous to the eloquence and those so-called love promise. If one person real love you, he/she may not perform very confident and saponaceous.

Shakespeare's Sonnets represent the first poetic craftsmanship of Elizabethan poetry. He has a magic pens, his works influence millions of people from 16th century till now, especially the sonnet. He turned his artistic gifts to character by becoming a poet The series contain 154 sonnets. In Shakespeare's time it was also common practice that poets used real people as the objects of poetry.

The poet’s sentiment changed from passive to positive like the ocean wave. It’s all due to “thee”. Love is the power of his life. He was more likely born for the true love. Shakespeare’s live has become richer by the love. “That then I scorn to change my state with kings” shows us the leitmotiv of the poetry. The “sweet love” stands for the nobly friendship, the faithfulness love and the warm family. He use his poet lead us to a fairyland where the song feels the infinite in the air, the picture in the earth poem in the air and the earth, for its words have meaning that walks and music that soars. He dipped vessel of his heart into that silent hour, it has filled with love.

Compared with other Elizabethan sonnet sequence Shakespeare's sonnets are more profound in their expressed feelings. The reveal the most sophisticated aspects of human nature moral conflicts and psychological uncertainties.

The language, too, is comparatively unadorned for the sonnets; it is not heavy with alliteration or assonance, and nearly every line is its own self-contained clause--almost every line ends with some punctuation, which effects a pause.

Sonnet 23 is one poem in the sonnets to express deep love is also restrained. Real emotion is hard to express to your beloved. Deep love is hard to express by language clearly. People live for only one time, as well as, true love. So, how can it tolerate that people as a perfect actor on the stage or a saponaceous lawyer blatter his “sincereness”? "O learn to read what silent love hath writ. The eloquence is moving. But the true love is silent. When you have a deep affection for one person, you would not as wise as usual, but

restrained even clumsy. Love never dies, love never falters. That love takes on a life much bigger than your own. Love on the way now confronted with a rugged and hazardous road on which has, neverthelss,a spectacle of magnificence that inspires us who walk through it to enjoy another delightful sensation of majesty the feeling of which those who are not with heroic spirits can never touch. Like the subtle taste of tea that last long after a sip. The subtle bitter of is what it is meant to be...

To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit." It is the punchline of the sonnet. Author used “As an unperfect actor on the stage, Who with his fear is put besides his part,” “some fierce thing replete with too much rage, Whose strength's abundance weakens his own hear” to account for his upset from hope, his “So I, for fear of trust, forget to say”.

Love do not need magnificent ornament and perfect ceremony, but the sincere silence. More than that tongue that more hasth more express'd , restrained eyes value much. O'ercharg'd with burthen of mine own love's might, deeply love teach us silent.

Shakespeare’s poetry sounds forceful even it just contains a few lines. There are much more things in it. His excellent does not come alone, it comes with everything. Let the movement of his life has its rest in its own poet. And let us live as a poet.
