摘　　要：“海潮”意象反复出现在拉金和阿诺德的笔下,构成了互文。如果只把他们的互文关系定格在悲情层面,那就无异于以蠡测海。无论就拉金还是阿诺德而言,“海潮”意象都跟文化命题紧密交织。为什么会这样呢?这是因为在他们的背后有一个共同的文化传统,一个几代人前赴后继、共写“文化辩护书”的传统。拉金与海洋生物学家艾文思曾就“海浪”意象有过一场对话,这可以看作“阿诺德与赫胥黎之争”在英国文化史上的又一次绝妙回响。对拉金来说,上述互文关系并非巧合,而是有意为之。换言之,拉金自觉地把自己融入了阿诺德开创的文化传统。The image of“tides”frequently occurs under the pens of both Philip Larkin and Matthew Arnold,thus forming an intertext.Any effort to specify their intertextual relationship in terms of pessimism would be nothing short of measuring the sea with a ladle.The image of“tides”is intricately intertwined with the proposition of culture,either in the case of Larkin or in that of Arnold.Why is that so?The answer lies in their shared cultural tradition,which has inspired waves upon waves of literati to collaborate on“an apologia of culture.”Larkin once engaged Frank Evans,a marine biologist,in a dialogue on the image of“waves”,which can be looked upon as a resounding echo to the“Arnold-Huxley Dispute”in British cultural history.The aforesaid intertextuality is of no coincidence but of deliberation for Larkin.In other words,Larkin conscientiously fused himself into the cultural tradition inaugurated by Arnold.
