And blue spurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, thro’its joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each!
Parting at Morning
Round the cape of a sudden came the sea,
And the sun look’d over the mountain’s rim:
And straight was a path of gold for him,
And the need of a world of men for me.
作品赏析
勃朗宁的小诗《夜会》中没有热烈而缠绵的描述,而是用他最擅长的戏剧性描写手法,将小伙子盼望见到爱人的急切心情宣泄得淋漓尽致。看,小伙子在漆黑的夜晚,驾着小船驶过海湾,越过海滩,穿过田野,终于来到了爱人的身边,直到“两颗跳动的心紧紧相融”。当太阳为他铺开一条金色大道,他没有留恋甜蜜的爱情,而是想到了自己的职责和任务,一个刚毅的男子汉展现在我们的面前。由此,《夜会》和《晨别》作为一个整体,给我们全面勾勒了勃朗宁的爱情观。
