　　Text1

　　Perhaps no poet"s career was more closely associated with the Imagist（印象派）movement than was that of H.D.（Hilda Doolittle）. Her verse, with its precise, clear images, typified the imagists rebellion against what they perceived as the sentimentalism and careless techniques of nineteenth-century poetry.

　　H.D.attended private schools in Philadelphia and then Bryan Mawr College. The love of classical antiquity she acquired during these years later surfaced in the many references in her poetry to figures from Greek and Egyptian mythology and in her classical notions of beauty and form. While in Philadelphia she also began making friendships with Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, and Harriet Monroe.

　　In 1911, H.D.sailed for Europe, where her career began. Soon after arriving in London, she renewed her friendship with Pound and met and married Richard Aldington, an Imagist poet and novelist who also directly influenced the shape of her writing. She began writing short poems that so impressed Pound with their precise description and diction that he insisted she submit them to Harriet Monroe"s Poetry magazine signed "H.D., Imagist." She persisted in using her initials for the remainder of her career closely linked to the Imagist rebellion against more traditional poetry.

　　The clear, spare, and energetic lyrics of H.D."s early poems, with their classical images, later became fuller, freer, and more "open" philosophic explorations of the world. By the destruction of the Second World War that she witnessed evoked deeper visions of the relationship of ancient truths to modern realities. That vision is expressed in such works as Truiolgy（三部曲）（1946）， Helen in Egypt（1961）, and her last work, Hermetic Definition（1961）.

　　H.D."s industry and literal achievement are just beginning to be recognized and appreciated. In addition to her poetry, she wrote several novels, including Palimpsest（重写本）（1926）, Heylus（1928）, and Bid Me to Live（1960）. Many of her other poems, essays, and short stories have been published posthumously.
