Charles Reznikoff (1894~1976) worked relentlessly, never leaving New York but for a brief stay in Hollywood, of all places. He was admired by Pound and Kenneth Burke, and often published his own works; in the Depression era, he managed a treadle printing press in his basement. He wrote three sorts of poems, exceptionally short imagistic lyrics, longer pieces crafted and cobbled from other sources, often from the Judaic tradition, and book-length poems wrought from the testimony both of Holocaust trials and from the courtrooms of the century America. Two of these full-length volumes were indeed titled Testimony, as was an earlier prose work; it was a word that kept him close company. When asked late in life to define his poetry, it was not the word he chose.
"Objectivist," he wrote, naming his longstanding group, and mimicking poetic style with a single prose sentence: "images clear but the meaning not stated but suggested by the objective details and the music of the verse; words pithy and plain; without the artifice of regular meters, themes, chiefly Jewish, American urban". If the sentence sounds hard-won, this is perhaps because it was. Four decades earlier, he wrote in a letter to friends, "There is a learned article about my verse in Poetry this month, from which I learn that I am an objectivist". The learned fellow was Louis Zukofsky, brilliant eminence of the Objectivists. "with whom I disagree as to both form and content of verse, but to whom I am obliged for placing some of my things here and there". So read Reznikoffs conclusion in 1931. with its fillip of polite resentment.
Movements and schools are arbitrary and immaterial things by which poetic history is told. This must have rankled Reznikoff, who spent his writing life tracing the material and the necessary.
Born a child of immigrants in Brooklyn in 1294, he was in journalism school at 16, took a law degree at 21. Though he was little interested in legal practice, the ideas would be near the heart of his writing. Ideal poetic language, he wrote, "is restricted almost to the testimony of a witness in a court of law". If this suggests a congenital optimism about the law, it made for astonishingly care-filled poetry. Reznikoff is unsurpassed in conveying the sense that the world is worth getting right. Not the glorious or the damaged world, but the world that is everything that is the case. Reznikoffs faith in the facts of the case takes on an intensity no less social than spiritual, no greater when surveying the Old Testament than New York This collection gathers all his poems (but for those already book-length) by the technique of compressing onto single pages as many as five or six at a time. This can lessen the force; each is a sort of American haiku, though no more impressionistic than a hand-operated printing press. One such numbered 69 in the volume Jerusalem the Golden, runs in its length: "Among the heaps of brick and plaster lies f a girder, still itself among the rubbish". This exemplary couplet is sometimes taken to represent Reznikoff’s poetry itself, immutable and certain amid the transitory.
选项
A、Charles Reznikoff always wrote works about testimony
B、Charles Reznikoff was always involved in the testimony affairs
C、Charles Reenikoff liked to write testimony
D、Charles Reznikoff is a busy lawyer
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。原句是"Two of these full-length volumes were indeed titled Testimony, as was an earlier prose work; it was a word that kept him close company."(长篇中有两篇题目是《证词》,早些时候的散文作品也是,这个词一直伴随他左右)。从这句话之前对他作品的介绍也可以看出,这些长篇诗歌来源于一些证词,这就是为什么他一直和证词有关的原因。选项"查尔斯经常写一些和证词有关的作品";B"查尔斯经常被卷人证词事件中";"查尔斯喜欢写证词";"查尔斯是个忙碌的律师"。因此答案选项最符合。
