Pastoral Elegy

牧人哀歌

 

An important subtype of the elegy is the pastoral elegy, which represents both the poet and the one he mourns – who is usually also a poet as shepherds. This poetic form was originated by the Sicilian Greek poet Theocritus, was continued by the Roman Virgil, was developed in various European countries during the Renaissance, and remained current in English poetry throughout the nineteenth century.

 

牧人哀歌是哀歌的一个重要类型,它把哀悼者与亡者——通常也是诗人——都描述为牧羊人。这种诗歌形式由西西里的古希腊诗人忒奥克里托斯首创,并得到罗马诗人维吉尔的传承,文艺复兴时期在欧洲各国流传发展起来,在整个19世纪仍然是流行的英诗创作形式。
