内容摘要: 英国诗人济慈的诗歌观点构成一个有机统一的理论系统:“消极的能力”关乎情感怠惰和认知延缓,这样的状态带来“平和”“从容”的创作心境,令诗人的灵感像“枝头生叶”那样自然降临;“诗人无自我”指情感与认知的休眠使诗人的“第二自我”离开诗人的肉身,“去填充其他的实体”并从其“个性出发来进行思考”,这样的“填充”显然需要通过想象的力量;“想象之美为真”强调的是美感的真实性,诗歌不必像哲学那样通过推理之类的认知过程来探求真理,而应当坚持由想象来追求美,通过感觉来创造美。济慈对诗歌的认识随时间推移而不断深化,却又能保持前后连贯以及观点之间的递进与衔接。

Abstract: John Keats’s views on poetry constitute an organic and unified theoretical system. “Negative capacity” is related to emotional languidness and cognitive delay. Such a mental state brings a “leisurely” and “peaceable” creative mood, which makes the poet’s inspiration come naturally like “leaves growing on the branches”. “The poet has no self” means that the dormancy of the poet’s emotion and cognition forces the “second self” to leave his physical body in order to “fill some other Body” and “cogitate based on its character,” and such a “filling” clearly needs to be done with the power of imagination, “What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth” emphasizes the authenticity of aesthetic feeling: poetry does not need to seek truth through inferential cognitive process like philosophy, but it should insist on pursuing beauty by imagination and creating beauty through a keen sense. Keats deepened his understanding of poetry incessantly with the passage of time, but still kept it coherent and sustained a progression and cohesion between his viewpoints.
