The scene is familiar enough, but this painting goes too far. The girl is treating her bird as if it were an ancient hero laid
out on a bier. She has concocted an animal version of classical soldier’s death, something out of Hommer or Racine. She has very
poetically draped the bird’s cage with ivy, and artfully arranged its dead body so that the head droops pitifully over the edge. (It
makes the bird look like an opera singer who has just been stabbed.) Even the girl’s gesture is theatrical, the kind of histrionic
pose children tend to pick up from their parents. She does seem to be suffering, but her sadness is modeled on melodrama. Perhaps she has been reading too many romantic
poems. (If she were a contemporary girl, we would say she had been reading her older sister’s Mills and Boon paperbacks or
Harlequin romances.) It’s easy to picture the solemn ceremony that will follow: she will dress in full morning, and take the dead
bird out to some poetic solitary place under a weeping willow. 【題組】40. Which of the following will be the best title for the reading?
(A) Dead Poets
