The close relationship between poetry and music scarcely needs to be argued. Both are aural modes which employ rhythm, rime and pitch as major devices; to those the one adds linguistic meaning, connotation and various traditional figures, and
the other
can add, at least in theory, all of these plus harmony, counterpoint and orchestration techniques. In English the two are closely bound historically. Anglo-Saxon heroic poetry seems certainly to have been read or chanted to a harpist’s accompaniment; the verb used in Beowulf for such a performance, the Finn episode, is singan, to sing, and the noun gyd, to song. A major source of the lyric tradition in English poetry is the songs of the troubadours.
The distance between the gyd in Beowulf and the songs of "Lenoard Cohen" or "Bob Dylan" may seem great, but is one of time rather than aesthetics. The lyric poem as a literary work and the lyrics of a popular song are both still essentially the same thing: poetry. Whether the title of the work be "Gerontion" or "Hound Dog", our criteria for evaluating the work must remain the same.
The most important prerequisite for both a significant poem and significant lyrics in a popular song is that the writer be faithful to his own personal vision or to the vision of the poem he is writing. Skill and craft for writing poetry are indeed necessary because these are the only means by which a poet can preserve the integrity of this vision in the poem. A poet must not, either because of lack of skill or because of worship of popularity, wealth, or critical acclaim, go outside of his own or his own poem’s vision— on pain of writing only the derivative or the trivial. Historically, the writers and singers of the lyrics of popular songs have seemed often to be incapable of personal vision, and to have confused both originality and morality with a servile compliance to popular taste.
What is the relationship between poetry and music according to the passage?
选项
A、They are separated from each other.
B、Whether their relationship is close or not is under debate.
C、They are in an intimate relationship.
D、Their relationship in not close enough.
答案
C
解析
细节题。题干问诗歌与音乐之间的关系。文章一开头就提到,“The closerelationship between poetry and music scarcely needs to be argued.”理解这句话的关键在于“scarcely”(几乎不),意为诗歌与音乐之间的密切关系都无需争论。即便不认识scarcely,根据此段后文讲两者的共同点与相互衬托配合,也可知关系紧密。
