托马斯·斯特恩·艾略特的代表作《荒原》,作为20世纪最著名的诗篇广为流传。全诗呈现在读者面前的,是一战后西方社会人们精神世界的一片荒凉与贫瘠;由于物欲的横流和仁爱的缺失,人们陷入了一种虽生犹死、醉生梦死的困境中。只有爱的回归,人们的精神才会充实与丰满,从而走出荒芜的世界。 Thomas Stern Eliot’s masterpiece, The Waste Land, is widely circulated as the most famous poem of the 20th century. The poem is presented to readers in the desolation and barrenness of the spiritual world of people in western society after the First World War. Due to the cross-flow of materialism and the absence of benevolence, people fall into a predicament that lives and dreams die. Only love returns, people’s spirit will be full and full, so as to get out of the deserted world.
