　　The style of Dryden is capricious and varied, that of Pope is cautious and uniform; Dryden obeys the motions of his own mind, Pope constrains his mind to his own rules of composition. Dryden is sometimes vehement and rapid; Pope is always smooth, uniform, and gentle. Dryden’s page is a natural field, rising into one qualities, and diversified by the varied exuberance of abundant vegetation; Pope’s is a velvet lawn, shaven by the scythe, and leveled by the roller.

　　Of genius, that power which constitutes a poet; that quality without which judgment is cold, and knowledge is inert; that energy which collects, combines, amplifies, and animates; the superiority must, with some hesitation, be allowed to Dryden. It is not to be inferred, that of this poetical vigor Pope had only a little, Because Dryden had more; for every other writer since Milton must give place to Pope; and even of Dryden it must be said, that, if he has brighter paragraphs, he has not better poems. Dryden’s performances were always hasty, either excited by some external occasion, or extorted by domestic necessity; he composed without consideration, and published without correction, what his mind could supply at call, or gather in one excursion, was all that he sought, and all that he gave. The dilatory caution of Pope enabled him to condense his sentiments, to multiply his images, and to accumulate all that study might produce, or chance might supply. If of Dryden’s fire the blaze is bright, of Pope’s the heat is more regular and constant. Dryden often surpasses expectation, and Pope never falls below it. (300 words)

正确答案及解析

正确答案

解析

德莱顿的写作风格形式多样，变化多端；蒲柏则严谨而统一。德莱顿创作时直抒胸臆，蒲柏则按自己的章法创作。德莱顿有时文笔激烈恣肆，蒲柏则流畅匀整，温柔有致。德莱顿的诗篇是片自然田地，高低起伏不一，郁郁葱葱，杂然纷呈。蒲柏的诗篇则是天鹅绒般丝滑的草地，镰刀修整得法，滚筒机抚平般的平整光滑。

　　所谓天才，就是以其才力造就伟大诗人，并使知识见解免于晦涩呆滞。其能力可汇集万念、聚集百思、延伸四方、激活万物。从这些方面比较，德莱顿要胜出几分。然而依此来推断蒲柏诗才匮乏，德莱顿才华横溢，却又有些荒谬。须知自弥尔顿以来，除德莱顿外，蒲柏可雄踞其他文人之上。即使比较两人，德莱顿虽有些惊人语段，但通篇匀整流畅则不及蒲柏。德莱顿常因形势所迫、或家用所急而下笔匆匆。行文未加思索，付梓又不加修正。他所追求的无非是心随所想，兴致所到之处就作成诗篇。蒲柏下笔则极为谨慎，小心翼翼，所以能凝练情思，丰富意象，又能借积累之所学，机缘之巧遇。若德莱顿文章之火易熊熊燃烧，蒲柏诗篇则是微火慢炖，持久弥香。德莱顿常常出人意料，蒲柏则处处不负所望。
