[00:26.66]With regard to Futurist poetry, however, [00:29.58]the case is rather difficult, [00:31.90]for whatever Futurist poetry may be--even admitting [00:35.43]that the theory on which it is based may be right [00:38.56]--it can hardly be classed as Literature. [00:42.13]This, in brief, is what the Futurist says: [00:46.36]for a century, past conditions of life [00:49.60]have been conditionally speeding up, [00:51.81]till now we live in a world of noise and violence and speed. [00:56.75]Consequently, our feelings, thoughts and emotions [01:00.58]have undergone a corresponding change. [01:04.31]This speeding up of life, says the Futurist, [01:07.24]requires a new form of expression. [01:10.38]We must speed up our literature too, [01:12.99]if we want to interpret modern stress. [01:15.93]We must pour out a large stream of essential words, [01:19.55]unhampered by stops, [01:21.01]or qualifying adjectives, of finite verbs. [01:24.62]Instead of describing sounds [01:26.73]we must make up words that imitate them; [01:29.65]we must use many sizes of type [01:32.18]and different colored inks on the same page, [01:35.00]and shorten or lengthen words at will. [01:38.43]Certainly their descriptions of battles are confused. [01:41.95]But it is a little upsetting to read in the explanatory notes [01:45.80]that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish [01:49.22]and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off [01:51.75]which they both fall into the river [01:54.27]--and then to find that the line [01:56.19]consists of the noise of their falling [01:58.51]and the weights of the officers: [02:00.63]“ Pluff! Pluff! A hundred and eighty-five kilograms.” [02:04.26]在线英语听力室(www.tingroom.com)友情制作 [02:05.67]This, though it fulfills the laws [02:07.76]and requirements of Futurist poetry, [02:10.38]can hardly be classed as Literature. [02:13.00]All the same, no thinking man [02:15.53]can refuse to accept their first proposition: [02:18.95]that a great change in our emotional life [02:21.47]calls for a change of expression. [02:23.90]The whole question is really this: [02:26.52]have we essentially changed? |
