关于《忽必烈汗》 柯勒律治的诗作《忽必烈汗》以其狂放不羁的想象力和浓郁幽婉的异国情调，为后世留下了 部神秘、魔幻的诗作，被《大不列颠百科全书》誉为“英国文学中最伟大的诗作”。 柯勒律治有着天赋的想象力。在他的文艺论著《文学传记》中，关于想象力有这样一段阐述： “最理想的完美诗人能使人的全部灵魂活跃起来，使各种才能互相制约，然而又发挥其各自 的价值与作用。他到处散发着一种和谐一致的情调和精神，促使各物混合并进而溶化为一 所依靠的则是一种善于综合的神奇力量。”《忽必烈汗》就是这“综合的神奇力量”的结晶。 《忽必烈汗》是柯勒律治吸食鸦片后的一个奇幻梦境。据说1797年夏天，他因病在英国乡 间休养。一日因病发疼痛难忍吸食了鸦片，此时他正坐在椅中阅读英国地理学家撒缪尔·帕 切斯的东方游记，读罢“忽必烈汗敕命在此处营造豪华宫殿，并开辟御苑，将方圆十哩沃土 俱囊括在四周墙垣之内”一段后，药力攻心，酣然入睡。梦中赋诗二、三百行，醒来时还依 稀记得全诗，于是急忙提笔追忆，不幸的是一名商人忽然来访，当客人离去后他再要续写时， 梦中的其余诗句已飘然而逝。柯勒律治几次试图补续，无奈总不满意，就此作罢，为世人和 他本人留下了一片遗憾。 《忽必烈汗》虽是残篇，却依然美妙绝伦，为当时的西方人描绘出一幅绚烂的东方景观。诗 中对上都和对忽必烈汗的描写，并不旨在描摹现实，而是借中国题材作为驰骋想象力，和渲 染异国情调的艺术空间。 柏拉图在《伊安篇》里说：“但凡高明的诗人，无论在史诗或抒情诗方面，都不是凭技艺 作成他们的优美的诗歌，而是因为他们得到灵感，有神力附着。”抒情诗人在作诗时，“心 理都受一种迷狂支配”，“（他们）飞到诗神的园里，从流蜜的泉源吸取精英，酿成他们的 诗歌。”柯勒律治的这首诗正如柏拉图所言，似乎是神灵附体时的代言，然而它并不是凭 空而来的“神来之笔”，而是诗人丰厚的文学素养、诗歌功底，和浪漫气质的瞬间升华.
