卞之琳的愛情詩不僅是個人情感世界的雪泥鴻爪，更是中國現代詩歌中的經典華章。在這些詩歌中，愛的關係性，時間性與創造性特徵通過鏡子、魚化石和水等意象一一呈現。愛情始終是未完成的，它佇立在你我之間，時間之中，只有通過不斷的創造與成長，才能戰勝虛無與異化，希冀愛的圓融與永恆。卞之琳的愛情詩創造性的繼承了中西詩學傳統，成功詮釋了現代人的情感經驗與審美旨趣，體現出強烈的現代品質和形而上學精神，堪稱現代愛情的詩化哲學。

As one of the classical texts in the history of Chinese Modern poetry, Bian Zhilin’s poems creates a poetic philosophy of love, which includes three dimensions revealed through some key images such as mirror, fish fossil and water. They are relationship, timeliness and creativity of love. Accordingly, love is between I and you, actualized in the time and always unfinished. In order to overcome the inclination of alienation, temporality and nihilism, and to get harmonization and eternity, love should be created by the lovers without cease. These views of love are the reflection of modern experience, grown out of the junction of Sino-western poetics. So they are not only national and global, but also modernistic.
