Abstract: Death is one of the major themes in D. H. Lawrences poetry. Although he explores death tirelessly in all his literary life, his real exploration is the rebirth after death. His poetical exploration for the way of rebirth consists of the rebirth metaphor in the form of plants and the rebirth metaphor in the form of animals. Through these metaphor carriers, D.H. Lawrence finds some strong spiritual sustenance for his weak body and a dwelling place for his frightening soul, and ultimately finds a transcendental and being-towards-death way out for himself. Organic whole as D. H. Lawrences rebirth metaphor is, it remains an essential link in the great chain of being and in the great chain of influence of the tradition of death narrative in British poetry. The formation of his rebirth metaphor results not only from the influence of the great tradition of the death narrative in British poetry, but also in the dynamic formation of this great tradition, thus there remains some intertextuality between them.

摘要： 死亡是劳伦斯诗歌中的一大主题。虽然劳伦斯终其一生孜孜不倦地探寻死亡，但他真正为之探寻的则是死后的再生。劳伦斯诗意的再生之路的探寻包括植物形式的再生隐喻和动物形式的再生隐喻。通过这些隐喻载体，劳伦斯为其残弱的躯体找到了坚实的心灵寄托，为其胆颤的灵魂找到了栖身之所，最终为自己找到了一条超验般的出路和向死而生的归途。虽然劳伦斯的再生隐喻自成一体，但它始终是英国诗歌死亡叙事存在之链和影响之链上的重要一环。劳伦斯再生隐喻的形成既是英国诗歌死亡叙事伟大传统影响的结果，又是该传统动态生成的原因，它们之间存在一定的互文性。
