English romantic poets tend to be the creator of the poetic images. They use their symbolic imagery to express, while the image is a typical product of the Romantic imagination and creativity. Actually, the process of creating a poem is a kind of process in which the poet will select suitable concrete objects to be the poetic images, and construct the poetic image to express his subjective feelings. Lots of critics have made fruitful research on the images of the English romantic poetry: the moon, the lark, and the nightingale. Rich images have been represented in English Romantic poetry, in which the most seen are birds, especially skylark and nightingale, which are vividly and profoundly depicted [2]55. However, there are still some problems or insufficiencies in the research. The scholars used to display all the poems of English poets, rather than only confined to the English Romanticism period. Some others only represented two books which written about nightingale of two poets and compared them to each other. Also, most scholars tended to explain how many kinds of images that English romantic poets had used in their poems, and nearly just focused on researching the nightingale image. This thesis comes up with three types of nightingale images after analyzing several famous Romantic poems, and summarizes the similarities and differences of nightingale images in different poet’s poem. At last, points out the causes and significance of nightingale image under that historical background. 2. The image in poetry In the world of poetry theory, people widely accepted the significance and constructive ability of image. The concrete image that can be felt produces the meaning and whole aesthetic effect of poetry. This special ability of image comes from the image’s unique nature and function. The function of image completes the expression of the whole meaning of poetry. The image has the function of description, expression, symbolic signification [3]116. In the system of image, every image not only influences other images but also be influenced. 2.1 The definition and classification of Image 2.1.1 The definition of Image The image first appeared in classical Chinese bible Yi Jing more than two thousand years ago. “Books cannot represent thoroughly what we want to say and words cannot express completely what we want to say,〞 and “The saint created image to imply what he wants to say and to express to the world.〞 [4]1. And the word “image〞 derives from old French image or Latin word imaginem. It appears in Middle English and then rises up as a popular jargon of advertising and public relations. However, until now, there isn’t an exact definition of image. There only some basic definitions in dictionaries. (1) A physical likeness or representation of a person, an animal, or an object photographed, painted, sculptured, or otherwise made visible. (2) An optical counterpart or appearance of an object, as is produced by reflection from a mirror, refraction by a lens, or the passage of luminous rays through a small aperture
