Percy Bysshe Shelley, oil painting by Amelia Curran, 1819; in the National Portrait Gallery, London

English Romantic poet whose passionate search for personal love and social justice was gradually channeled from overt actions into poems that rank with the greatest in the English language.

Shelley was the heir to rich estates acquired by his grandfather, Bysshe (pronounc ed “Bish”) Shelley. Timothy Shelley, the poet's father, was a weak, conventional man who was caught between an overbearing father and a rebellious son. The young Shelley was educated at Syon House Academy (1802–04) and then at Eton (1804–10), where he resisted physical and mental bullying by indulging in imaginative escapism and literary pranks. Between the spring of 1810 and that of 1811, he published two Gothic novels and two volumes of juvenile verse. In the fall of 1810 Shelley entered University College, Oxford, where he enlisted his fellow student Thomas Jefferson Hogg as a disciple. But in March 1811, University College expelled both Shelley and Hogg for refusing to admit Shelley's authorship of The Necessity of Atheism. Hogg submitted to his family, but Shelley refused to apologize to his.

Late in August 1811, Shelley eloped with Harriet Westbrook, the younger daughter of a London tavern owner; by marrying her, he betrayed the acquisitive plans of his grandfather and father, who tried to starve him into submission but only drove the strong-willed youth to rebel against the established order. Early in 1812, Shelley, Harriet, and her older sister Eliza Westbrook went to Dublin, where Shelley circulated pamphlets advocating political rights for Roman Catholics, autonomy for Ireland, and freethinking ideals. The couple traveled to Lynmouth, Devon, where Shelley issued more political pamphlets, and then to North Wales, where they spent almost six months in 1812–13.

Lack of money finally drove Shelley to moneylenders in London, where in 1813 he issued Queen Mab, his first major poem—a nine-canto mixture of blank verse and lyric measures that attacks the evils of the past and present (commerce, war, the eating of meat, the church, monarchy, and marriage) but ends with resplendent hopes for humanity when freed from these vices. In June 1813 Harriet Shelley gave birth to their daughter Ianthe, but a year later Shelley fell in love with Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, daughter of William Godwin and his first wife, née Mary Wollstonecraft. Against Godwin's objections, Shelley and Mary Godwin eloped to France on July 27, 1814, taking with them Mary's stepsister Jane (later “Claire”) Clairmont. Following travels through France, Switzerland, and Germany, they returned to London, where they were shunned by the Godwins and most other friends. Shelley dodged creditors until the birth of his son Charles (born to Harriet, November 30, 1814), his grandfather's death (January 1815), and provisions of Sir Bysshe's will forced Sir Timothy to pay Shelley's debts and grant him an annual income.

Settling near Windsor Great Park in 1815, Shelley read the classics with Hogg and another friend, Thomas Love Peacock. He also wrote Alastor; or The Spirit of Solitude,a blank-verse poem, published with shorter poems in 1816, that warns idealists (like Shelley himself) not to abandon “sweet human love” and social improvement for the vain pursuit of evanescent dreams. By mid-May 1816, Shelley, Mary, and Claire Clairmont hurried to Geneva to intercept Lord Byron, with whom Claire had begun an affair. During this memorable summer, Shelley composed the poems “Hymn to Intellectual Beau ty” and “Mont Blanc,” and Mary began her novel Frankenstein. Shelley's party returned to England in September, settling in Bath. Late in the year, Harriet Shelley drowned herself in London, and on December 30, 1816, Shelley and Mary were married with the Godwins' blessing. But a Chancery Court decision declared Shelley unfit to raise Ianthe and Charles (his children by Harriet), who were placed in foster care at his expense.

In March 1817 the Shelleys settled near Peacock at Marlow, where Shelley wrote his twelve-canto romance-epic Laon and Cythna; or, The Revolution of the Golden City and Mary Shelley finished Frankenstein. They compiled History of a Six Weeks' Tour jointly from the letters and journals of their trips to Switzerland, concluding with “Mont Blanc.” In November, Laon and Cythna was suppressed by its printer and publisher, who feared that Shelley's idealized tale of a peaceful national revolution, bloodily suppressed by a league of king and priests, violated the laws against blasphemous libel. After revisions, it was reissued in 1818 as The Revolt of Islam.

Because Shelley's health suffered from the climate and his financial obligations outran his resources, the Shelleys and Claire Clairmont went to Italy, where Byron was residing. They reached Milan in April 1818 and proceeded to Pisa and Leghorn (Livorno). That summer, at Bagni di Lucca, Shelley translated Plato's Symposium and wrote hi s own essay “On Love.” He also completed a modest poem entitled Rosalind and Helen,in which he imagines his destiny in the poet-reformer “Lionel,” who—imprisoned for radical activity—dies young after his release.

Thus far, Shelley's literary career had been politically oriented. Queen Mab,the early poems first published in 1964 as The Esdaile Notebook,Laon and Cythna,and most of his prose works were devoted to reforming society; and even Alastor,Rosalind and Helen,and the personal lyrics voiced the concerns of an idealistic reformer who is disappointed or persecuted by an unreceptive society. But in Italy, far from the daily irritations of British politics, Shelley deepened his understanding of art and literature and, unable to reshape the world to conform to his vision, he concentrated on embodying his ideals within his poems. His aim became, as he wrote in “Ode to the West Wind,” to make his words “Ashes and sparks” as from “an unextinguished hearth,” thereby transforming subsequent generations and, through them, the world. Later, as he became estranged from Mary Shelley, he portrayed even love in terms of aspiration, rather than fulfillment: “The desire of the moth for the star,/ Of the night for the morrow,/ The devotion to something afar/ From the sphere of our sorrow.”

In August 1818, Shelley and Byron again met in Venice; the Shelleys remained there or at Este through October 1818. During their stay, little Clara Shelley (b. 1817) became ill and died. In “Lines Written Among the Euganean Hills” (published with Rosalind and Helen), Shelley writes how visions arising from the beautiful landscape seen from a hill near Este had revived him from despair to hopes for the political regeneration of Italy, thus transforming the scene into “a green isle. . . / In the deep wide sea of Misery.” He also began Julian and Maddalo—in which Byron

(“Maddalo”) and Shelley debate human nature and destiny—and drafted Act I of Prometheus Unbound. In November 1818 the Shelleys traveled through Rome to Naples, where they remained until the end of February 1819.

Settling next at Rome, Shelley continued Prometheus Unbound and outlined The Cenci,a tragedy on the Elizabethan model based on a case of incestuous rape and patricide in sixteenth-century Rome. He completed this drama during the summer of 1819 near Leghorn, where the Shelleys fled in June after their other child, William Shelley (b. 1816), died from malaria. Shelley himself terms The Cenci“a sad reality,” contrasting it with earlier “visions . . . of the beautiful and just.” Memorable characters, classic five-act structure, powerful and evocative language, and moral ambiguities still make The Cenci theatrically effective. Even so, it is a less notable achievement than Prometheus Unbound: A Lyrical Drama,which Shelley completed at Florence in the autumn of 1819, near the birth of Percy Florence Shelley, Mary Shelley's only surviving child. Both plays appeared about 1820.

In Prometheus Shelley inverts the plot of a lost play by Aeschylus in a poetic masterpiece that combines supple blank verse with a variety of complex lyric measures. In Act I, Prometheus, tortured on Jupiter's orders for having given mankind the gift of moral freedom, recalls his earlier curse of Jupiter and forgives him (“I wish no living thing to suffer pain”). By eschewing revenge, Prometheus, who embodies the moral wi ll, can be reunited with his beloved Asia, a spiritual ideal transcending humanity; her love prevents him from becoming another tyrant when Jupiter is overthrown by the mysterious power known as Demogorgon. Act II traces Asia's awakening and journey toward Prometheus, beginning with her descent into the depths of nature to confront and question Demogorgon. Act III depicts the overthrow of Jupiter and the union of Asia and Prometheus, who—leaving Jupiter's throne vacant—retreat to a cave from which they influence the world through ideals embodied in the creative arts. The end of the act describes the renovation of both human society and the natural world. Act IV opens with joyful lyrics by spirits who describe the benevolent transformation of the human consciousness that has occurred. Next, other spirits hymn the beatitude of humanity and nature in this new millennial age; and finally, Demogorgon returns to tell all creatures that, should the fragile state of grace be lost, they can restore their moral freedom through these “spells”:

To suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite;

To forgive wrongs darker than Death or Night;

To defy Power which seems Omnipotent;

To love, and bear; to hope, till Hope creates

From its own wreck the thing it contemplates. . .

Prometheus Unbound, which was the keystone of Shelley's poetic achievement, was written after he had been chastened by “sad reality” but before he began to fear that he had failed to reach an audience. Published with it were some of the poet's finest and most hopeful shorter poems, including “Ode to Liberty,” “Ode to the West Wind,” “The Cloud,” and “To a Sky-Lark.”

While completing Prometheus Unbound and The Cenci,Shelley reacted to news of the Peterloo Massacre (August 1819) in England by writing The Masque of Anarchy and several radical songs that he hoped would rouse the British people to active but nonviolent political protest. Later in 1819 he sent to England Peter Bell the Third, which joins literary satire of William Wordsworth's Peter Bell to attacks on corruptions in British society, and he drafted A Philosophical View of Reform,his longest (though incomplete) prose work, urging moderate reform to prevent a bloody revolution that might lead to new tyranny. Too radical to be published during Shelley's lifetime, The Masque of Anarchy appeared after the reformist elections of 1832, Peter Bell the Third and the political ballads in 1839–40, and A Philosophical View of Reform not until 1920.

After moving to Pisa in 1820, Shelley was stung by hostile reviews into expressing his hopes more guardedly. His “Letter to Maria Gisborne” in heroic couplets and “The Witch of Atlas” in ottava rima (both 1820; published 1824) combine the mythopoeic mode of Prometheus Unbound with the urbane self-irony that had emerged in Peter Bell the Third, showing Shelley's awareness that his ideals might seem naive to others. Late that year, Oedipus Tyrannus; or, Swellfoot the Tyrant,his satirical drama on the trial for adultery of Caroline (estranged wife of King George IV), appeared anonymously but was quickly suppressed. In 1821, however, Shelley reasserted his uncompromising idealism. Epipsychidion (in couplets) mythologizes his infatuation with Teresa (“Emilia”) Viviani, a convent-bound young admirer, into a Dantesque fable of how human desire can be fulfilled through art. His essay A Defence of Poetry (published 1840) eloquently declares that the poet creates humane values and imagines the forms that shape the social order: thus each mind recreates its own private universe, and “Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the World.” Adonais, a pastoral elegy in Spenserian stanzas, commemorates the death of John Keats by declaring that, while we “decay/ Like corpses in a charnel,” the creative spirit of Adonais, despite his physical death, “has outsoared the shadow of our night.”

The One remains, the many change

and pass;

Heaven's light forever shines, Earth's

shadows fly;

Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass,

Stains the white radiance of Eternity,

Until Death tramples it to fragments.

The verse drama Hellas(published 1822) celebrates the Greek revolution against Turkish rule and reiterates the political message of Laon and Cythna—that the struggle for human liberty can be neither totally defeated nor fully realized, since the ideal is greater than its earthly embodiments.

After Byron's arrival in Pisa late in 1821, Shelley, inhibited by his presence, completed only a series of urbane, yet longing lyrics—most addressed to Jane Williams—during the early months of 1822. He began the drama “Charles the First,” but soon abandoned it. After the Shelleys and Edward and Jane Williams moved to Lerici, Shelley began “The Triumph of Life,” a dark fragment on w hich he was at work until he sailed to Leghorn to welcome his friend Leigh Hunt, who had arrived to edit a periodical called The Liberal. Shelley and Edward Williams drowned on July 8, 1822, when their boat sank during the stormy return voyage to Lerici.

Mary Shelley faithfully collected her late husband's unpublished writings, and by 1840, aided by Hunt and others, she had disseminated his fame and most of his writings. The careful study of Shelley's publications and manuscripts has since elucidated his deep learning, clear thought, and subtle artistry. Shelley was a passionate idealist and consummate artist who, while developing rational themes within traditional poetic forms, stretched language to its limits in articulating both personal desire and social altruism.

探险故事-探险家的使命

探险故事-探险家的使命 有位探险家说，他探险是为了把脚印印在人类没有踏足过的地方。另一位探险家说，探险的魅力在于填补地图的空白。他们都没有说明，出现在人类没有到达过的地方，为何具有如此巨大的吸引力，让人甘愿尝遍千辛万苦甚至付出生命？ 一次，在北京房山区的一个溶洞里，我们下到地下第七层，眼前的洞厅没有什么奇特之处，而刚刚离开的第六层，洞厅里到处是造型奇特的钟乳、石笋等沉积物，仿佛童话里的宫殿。可是向导说，“这里从没有人来过。”我眼前平淡的一切霎时变得光彩熠熠。 也许有人说：你没看到它时，它已在那里存在千万年了。是的，我不是哲学史上那个唯我论者贝克莱的信徒，他认为当人不去感知一个物时，那个物就不存在。但我对这样一个问题着迷：在我看到之前，洞厅是这个样子吗？ 有人说：“与后来我们看到时一样呗。”这一看法经不起推敲，因为他假设太阳没有变化、空气没有变化、人没有变化等等这样一些前提，假如这些前提不存在，比如你变了、你的眼睛构造变了，雪峰的模样肯定会变。因此，雪峰在人类看到她之前究竟是什么样子，这是一个奥秘。 七仙女的故事里，洗澡的仙女被放牛娃看见后就穿起了衣服。我们看到的世界大都是穿了衣服的仙女，只有探险家走到了离仙女最近的地方，这是探险家奔向艰险、不畏牺牲的内在驱动力。 一 在谈论生态保护的话题时，人们反对人类中心主义，但是在谈论“世界是什么”时，人类中心主义却极少被质疑。以往的哲学家在讨论这个问题时，大都指的是人看到的世界，问题实际是“对人类而言，世界是什么”。 一次，我在希夏邦马峰下的冰川旁休息。一只鹰，穿云破雾，翱翔在钻石般闪烁的雪山顶上。忽然，它停住了，紧接着几乎垂直地向下俯冲，我猜它发现了猎物。在鹰的眼中，雪峰是怎样的？世界是怎样的？猎物又是怎样的？鹰的眼睛非常神奇，在俯冲捕捉猎物时，能始终准确对焦，否则它就捕捉不到猎物。鹰有着一整套应对世界的方法，在它的世界里自由自在行动。

探险家故事大全

中外探险家的故事 1．麦哲伦的故事 麦哲伦（Magellan，Ferdinand），葡萄牙著名航海家和探险家，先后为葡萄牙（1505～1512）和西班牙（1519～1521）作航海探险。从西班牙出发，绕过南美洲，发现麦哲伦海峡，然后横渡太平洋。在一次与菲律宾麦克坦岛上部落的交战中，麦哲伦阵亡。由于他的阵亡，使麦哲伦失去了成为世界上第一位完成环球航行探险家的机遇。虽在菲律宾被杀，他的船只继续西航回到西班牙，完成第一次环球航行。被认为是第个环球航行的人。麦哲伦的突出贡献不在于环球航行本身，而在其大胆的信念和对这一事业的出色指挥。他是第一个从东向西跨太平洋航行的人。他以3个多月的航行，改变了当时流行的观念：从新大陆乘船向西只消几天便可到达东印度。麦哲伦船队的环球航行，用实践证明了地球是一个圆体，不管是从西往东，还是从东往西，毫无疑问，都可以环绕我们这个星球一周回到原地。这在人类历史上，永远是不可磨灭的伟大功勋 2.．张骞的故事 公元前139年，汉武帝派张骞前往大月氏国。他的使命是帮助该地区人民起来抵抗侵略者。张骞被匈奴族捉去囚禁了11年，但他获释后再度前往中国以西的地方探险。他的旅行路线经过阿富汗，当时尚无人到过中国以西这么远的地方。张骞回来后，使大汉皇帝第一次听到了关于印度、中东以及欧洲诸国的消息。 张骞是第一位横穿阿富汗旅行的中国人，后来的中国商人带着丝绸和玉石，沿张骞所经过的路线，翻山越岭来到中国西北并穿过了戈壁沙漠。这条路线后来被称为“丝绸之路”。 3.．玄奘的故事 玄奘是一位前往佛教发源地印度取经的和尚。他从中国出发，旅途历时16年，行程达6·4万千米，途经阿富汗、克什米尔和印度北方等地。他的旅行是秘密进行的，因为当时的皇帝尚不允许中国人跨出国门到外界去旅行。玄奘在旅途中多次遇险，危险主要来自恶劣的天气和险峻的高山。玄奘有一次在喝泉水时，差点被箭射死。后来他又在印度北方塔克西拉王国被投入狱中。为了逃命，他几乎冻死。 4.．徐霞客的故事 徐宏祖（1586-1641），字振之，号霞客，江苏江阴人，是明代杰出的地理学家、旅行家。徐霞客一生钟情于神州山水。在“学而优则仕”的封建时代，他克服难以想象的困难，从二十二岁开始，周游全国。，游历名山大川，历时30余年，不畏艰险，足迹遍布今江苏、浙江、江西、两广，及云贵高原等17省。每到一地，即按日记事，将所见所闻写成日记体裁的游记。对各地的山形地貌、川河源流及地质、气候、物产、民俗等深入进行探索，详尽记述。他详细考察了我国西南地区岩溶的分布、类型、成因和农业利用，是世界上研究岩溶地貌的第一人。明思宗崇祯十四年 (1641)，徐霞客病故。其遍访各地的游记，由季会明等人整理成书，名为《徐霞客游记》。
