Art is Long, Time is Fleeting: An Appreciation of John Keats''''"Ode on a Grecian Urn"

In our daily life, we come across many things, a flower, a bird, a vase, or a picture, for example, without seeing them, or to be exact, without paying them any special attention. To ordinary eyes, they are what they are. But to the sharp, sensitive eyes of a poet, every object has its own beauty, and carries a message deeper than what it seems to do. Through his artistic work, the poet reveals to us the beauty and truth that are hidden from our mediocre eyes, and enables us to enjoy the beauty and see the truth that nature endows to its creations. An American critic once said,"All art is

A Brief Survey on the Themes of Mark Twain′s Works

While I was studying some of Mark Twain's representative short stories and novels I got deep inclination to follow the general themes which he chose to develop his own subjects in his literary works. In generalizing his major themes I can not avoid the overlap of one theme and another. But simply for the convenience of understanding his wide range of literary themes I'dlike to divide them largely into five categories. Mark Twain is the major novelist of the era of realism along with James and Howells.Earlier writers as Hawthorne and Melville of the era of American Renaissance in New England had turened towards the world of nature and had emphasized the abstract universality of their themes. But the realists were determined to write novels, standing firm-

"The Living Fruit of Nignts"——a Thematic Study of Faulkner''''s "Barn Burning"

William Faulkner was the winner of Nobel Prize for Literature of 1950. Although he received public acclaim chiefly for his longer works, such as The Sound and the Fury, Sartoris, and Light in August, Faulkner found himself again and again writing short stories. In "Barn Burning," which appeared in 1938, he created the seed story of the whole Snopes trilogy that was to constitute his last great creative accomplishment. This story not only looks forward to the Snopes stories, but also shares some of the themes recurring in the early parts of the Yoknapatawpha saga—the legendary matrix in which Faul-

Academic Criticism on ＂More People Ignorant of Fine Arts than Illiterates＂ in China： A Discussion with Mr. Wu Guanzhong
LIU Qiu-chang （College of Humanities, Xinjiang University, Urumuqi, 830046）
Abstract： Meimang, 美盲, or ＂people ignorant of fine arts,＂ is a term coined by Mr. Wu Guanzhong. He argues that the people ignorant of fine arts outnumber the illiterates in China. His statement is lame. It is absurd to have, as the standard judging whether one is ignorant of fine arts or not, the fact that one does not appreciate the works of Henry More, modernism painter. The appreciation of beauty is an inborn nature of the human beings. The assertion that there are more people ignorant of fine arts than illiterates in China shows that the Chinese experts of fine arts are not close to the ordinary Chinese appreciators of fine arts. The Chinese experts of fine arts need to establish an appropriate relationship with the ordinary appreciators of arts. Key words： academic criticism; more people ignorant of fine arts than illiterates; multiplicity of beauty; aesthetic ability; experts of fine arts; ordinary people

The Wind in"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Generally, Coleridge's poems are mainly divided into two groups:one is to use common Language to depict commom things and common people; the other is to use unique imagination to describe supernatural things. "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"belongs to the second group. Some critics blame Coleridge for his lack of morals in this poem, but in fact,this poem contains lots of morals, as Coleridge himself said.Coleridge succeeds in exploring the theme of sin and punishment by his rich imagination and by the depicting of supernatural things. In "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", Coleridge intentionally built a symbolic world of the supernatural wind, the bird, the sun, the moon ,the ship and the sea. All these symbols serve to develop the theme of Fall and Redemption, and play so important a part in the poem that we even can take it as a symbolic poem. In the following pages, I am going to devote to the functions of the supernatural wind in particular. Coleridge bestows the wind with a great deal of supernat
