| 摘 要： | Through a comparative appreciation of Chinese and Western poems about old age,the present article tends to present a general convey of the western and eastern poets' attitudes and feelings towards old age,which is an aspect of human culture.The main themes are almost the same:reminiscence(sweet or bitter) ,solitude,contentment,detachment,sorrow and sentiment.But the Western are more optimistic and admire youth,regard old age as a natural stage of life.The Chinese,more conservative and perfectionist,show much more respect to the old,and think more about the past unfulfilled.
