Byronic(adj.)

1823年,指的是英国诗人乔治·戈登,第六代 Byron 巴伦爵士(1788-1824)或他的诗歌之类的特征或相似之处。

Perfect she was, but as perfection is
  Insipid in this naughty world of ours,
Where our first parents never learn'd to kiss
  Till they were exiled from their earlier bowers,
Where all was peace, and innocence, and bliss
  (I wonder how they got through the twelve hours),
Don Jose like a lineal son of Eve,
  Went plucking various fruit without her leave.
[from "Don Juan"]
她完美无瑕,可世界这恶劣
  我们凡人无法领悟其中悦耳之音
我们始祖岂懂何为亲吻?
  直到被驱逐,离开了先前的乐土。
那里和平、无邪,福佑全球
  (我不知道12个钟头都干了什么)
唐·何塞像亚当的子孙一样
  在未经允许的情况下摘了各种水果。
[选自《唐·卷》]
It was on the Continent that Byron was influential, and it is not in England that his spiritual progeny is to be sought. To most of us, his verse seems often poor and his sentiment often tawdry, but abroad his way of feeling and his outlook on life were transmitted and developed and transmuted until they became so wide-spread as to be factors in great events. [Bertrand Russell, "A History of Western Philosophy," 1945]
拜伦在欧洲影响深远,而他的灵魂传人并不在英格兰。对我们大多数人来说,他的诗常常显得平庸,他的情感则显得俗套。但在国外,他的感觉方式和人生观被传承、发展和转化,直至成为影响伟大事件的因素。[伯特兰·罗塞尔,《西方哲学史》,1945年]
