 note = {application/pdf, 論文(Article), In 'Childish Recollections' (1819-20) Clare regrets that "the raptures of delights" have "gone bye" even though he sees the scenes of his Childfood. The natural objects remain as they were, but they cannot evoke "feelings" in him. This makes him keenly aware of the passage of time. Recollection of the past in order to forget "sad manhood" becomes the main theme of this poem. In 'Childfood'(1832), Clare characterizes childfood as "happy dream," "joyous play," "life without a sigh," and "beauty thoughts can neer pourtray." It is his "fancy" that enables him to enjoy these characteristics. Only because his child's eye of fancy saw the natural objects, could his "feelings" or emotions be evoked. As he grows up, however, fancy gives way to reason and "each sight leaves memory ill at ease." Reason destroys "the raptures " and "the bliss" that were felt through the work of his fancy. 'The Progress of Ryhme' (1821-24) shows that it was the joy of the natural objects which led Clare to start writing poetry. This joy derived from natural beauty made him feel that he had "a right to song" and say, "Each object to my ear and eye / Made paradise of poesy." With respect to the making of poetry the natural objects were, to Clare, "real teachers that are all divine." In The Shepherd's Calendar (1827) Clare emphasizes that his childfood is a "page of poesy." He has lost "wonderment," "feelings," "fancy," and therefore "poesy" owing to "reasons sterner lore" acquired by experience. Although Clare becomes conscious that his memory decays to oblivion and that the images of the past are wearing away, he tries to find his identity, at once recollectiong and recreating the past as Eden.},
