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.
Which one of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
选项
A、The songs of troubadours can be applied as lyric in poetry.
B、Beowulf has been chanted by people with harpist.
C、Poems and songs are basically same.
D、The major difference of gyd in Beowulf and the songs lies in aesthetics instead of time.
答案
D
解析
细节题。选项A关键词为“troubadours”(游吟诗人),可定位于第一段最后一句,意为“英语诗歌中的吟唱传统主要源自游吟诗人”。选项B关键词“harpist”(竖琴),可定位于第一段,“to a harpist’s accompaniment”(伴随竖琴的伴奏)。选项C,第二段第二句,意为“作为文学作品的吟唱诗歌与流行歌的歌词从根本上是相同的:诗歌”。选项D,定位于第二段第一句,“one of time rather than aesthetics”,选项与原文意思恰好相反。
