Getting acquainted with Zhimo from Xu’s poems (2)

Love is eternal, and countless poets and writers at home and abroad have praised her with songs of life.

If there is a best time in life, probably apart from childhood, it is when you are in love.

Without love, perhaps a third of the greatest works would be missing.

For some people, love is the meaning of all life. Most of them became poets.

Xu Zhimo is one of them.

"Love is the vitality of human beings!" "Listening to the Musical Instruments on a Moonlit Night"

"Love is the only way to realize life." "Aiman ??Shufeier"

"In the presence of the Lord, love is the only glory." "The Last Day"

Without love, human beings have no vitality and become lifeless, and life cannot be realized.

This stone is a pile of ugly stones,

This lily is a cluster of bright and beautiful flowers;

But when the moonlight traces the shadows of the flowers on the stone, The gap,

This ugly and stubborn stone has also turned into traces of charm.

I am a bloated mediocrity,

Hers is an incomparable beauty in the world;

But when love puts her into my arms,

I have become a hero like a god! "Heroes Like Gods"

The shadows of flowers give tenderness to stubborn stones, and love turns ordinary people into heroes. This shows the magic of love and the potential of people.

But love makes people humble and makes them lose weight.

That day you were swimming gracefully in the sky,

Free and light, you didn’t want to stay

In that part of the sky or in that corner of the earth,

p>

Your happiness is unhindered freedom,

You are not even aware of the humble ground

There is a first-class stream, although your beauty

Touched his ethereal spirit as he passed by,

woke him up, and hugged your beautiful figure tightly.

What he holds tightly is the deep sorrow,

Because beauty cannot remain still in the scenery;

He wants you to fly over the top of the mountains,

Go to a wider lake and cast your shadow!

He is wasting away for you, the stream of water,

In the helpless hope, hoping that you will fly back. "Wandering in the Clouds"

The flowing stream of water was dyed ethereal by the clouds, but it could not make her stay. She could only be sad when they met and wasted away in hope.

Xu Zhimo compared women to "clouds" more than once, but sometimes it is the man who loves the "cloud" who is humbled, and sometimes it is the "cloud" who is humbled.

“…

I am like a cloud,

A pure white, pure white cloud,

...

In the end, between you and me, I'm afraid,

Allow me to be coquettish in one meeting,

Allow me to completely dominate you,

……

I am an ordinary person,

I cannot hope to be worthy of your fleeting attention in a sea of ??people

/p>

Alas, infatuation, women have infatuation,

That day I saw you for the first time, < /p>

You shine like a star,

I am just a point in the crowd,

A handful of sand, but when I see you,

…”

I love you!

From now on, every thought of mine

is stained with you...

...

I promise to You look, but you can't

be aware of my secret at all.

If it were not for love,

the source of spiritual light and heat, all bright and amazing things would not be possible.

Look at my face

It is as red as a pomegranate flower;

This is the last flame of life,

They asked me to get married,

I couldn’t shirk it.

I was ready to die,

Holding a beautiful secret,

Happiness lasts forever, love never dies!

I, I want to sleep..." "Inspiration of Love"

This poem may be Xu Zhimo's longest poem. It is a beautiful love tragedy and very touching. A The infatuated woman's confession in front of her beloved man before her death, from falling in love to missing her, is that love gave her the strength to survive.

It not only laments her experience, but also sees the ideal love that will last until death. .

I also can’t figure out whether it is better for two people who love each other not to be together, or to be together. Is it true that love that cannot be obtained lasts long, and love that is obtained will wither?

“The needle on the clock keeps making mysterious gestures,

Like instructions, like sympathy, like ridicule,

Every time the time comes "I am waiting for you". A man is waiting for a woman, from dusk to night, an infatuated man is willing to wait. Waiting for her, knowing that it is in vain, he has to wait. This is his fate and cannot be changed.

During the Republic of China, freedom of love was still a pipe dream. Arranged marriages were common, especially in large families. Parents had strict control over their children. But on the other hand, these young people who studied abroad were influenced by Western liberal democracy. influence, so they must rebel against tradition. Many people gave in at first, causing many marital tragedies.

When depression reaches a certain level, it will explode. Love has become a symbol of young people breaking tradition and pursuing freedom.

“This is a cowardly world:

Love is not allowed, love is not allowed!

You follow me Let's go, I'll hold your hand,

escape from the prison, regain our freedom!

...

It's an island, and there are Green grass,

flowers, beautiful animals and birds;

Get on this light boat,

Go to the ideal heaven——

Love, joy, freedom——

Farewell to the world, forever! ""This is a cowardly world"

You can't defeat reality, you can only escape, escape to A remote island.

It should be said that Xu Zhimo has high expectations for love. He strives to create his own love building, is willing to dedicate everything, and is willing to fight against all the worldly pressure. He wants to achieve a brighter love, so the opposition of the world cannot stop him. The only thing he fears is the misunderstanding of his lover.

/p>

Anyway, I have to apologize deeply to you

...

I want to realize love more brightly:

In the haystack. A firefly

Admiring the Zenith Star:

I want your love to be as high as the sky!

< p> Give me courage, ah, the only kiss! ""Don't blame me for being so sad"

Xu Zhimo (usually the person in the poem cannot be regarded as the poet himself, but here I tend to think of him, You can also have other understandings) Because there is too much pressure at work and career, he is inevitably tired and ignores his lover's feelings. His lover blames him for not being as enthusiastic as before, because he doesn't love her anymore. Xu Zhimo can only explain hard: He He didn't blame her, he just hated himself for not living up to expectations. Although he had a perfect love, he still wanted to climb higher and support their love, hoping to gain understanding from his lover.

Here, I can see that love comes passionately but is difficult to maintain, and Xu Zhimo is a person who hopes to maintain it forever, so he can only be mentally and physically exhausted.

It is rare for two people to be happy with each other. Most of them are unrequited or unbalanced.

“(1) He——

This has been very painful for her, and I hope to death,

Half a year It’s not easy!

Ah, a pure heart that loves me,

So dedicated, so true!

……

(2) She——

……

I shouldn’t have drank those three glasses of wine that night,

< p> Added to my life's sorrow;

...

He treated me with sincerity,

...

I I don’t have the courage to tell him clearly

My changed heart!

When he comes, he wants to hug me, so I let him hug me,

p>

(This gourd is not broken,)

But every time I let him kiss my lips,

Love, it’s your kiss!” "Love in Two Places"

Two people are separated by two places, and half a year is approaching. The man thinks that the woman loves him and is thinking about him; but the woman does not have the courage to refuse due to the man's sincere love, and out of guilt And deceive men.

Are men pitiful? No, men are happy at least without knowing it; women are pitiful and hateful, harming others and themselves, but we cannot turn a blind eye to her kind heart.

Sometimes, even a plain, even somewhat flawed love can arouse Xu Zhimo’s admiration.

"The south wind blows,

the grass and trees are green,

the ground is filled with warm sunshine,

the sky is filled with white and yellow clouds ,

Over there in the midst of the wheat waves,

There are farmers and women, smiling and chatting happily. ""Field Scene in Summer (Near Shaxton)"

The farmer once said. Instead of doing his job, he only drank and vented his anger on the peasant woman all day long. Now he comes back from work covered in mud, talking and laughing, and loving his wife and children. The peasant woman's happiness is overflowing on her face and spreading in the fields.

Although the above poems all praise love, the reality of love is shown to some extent in the poems: poignant and beautiful love is the majority. But I'm not satisfied. I want to see the complete beauty of love, a love full of joy and freedom. I believe young people think the same as me.

If I were a snowflake,

flying gracefully in the air,

I would definitely know my direction——

Flying, flying, flying——

There is my direction on this ground.

I won’t go to the cold and lonely valley,

I won’t go to the desolate foothills,

I won’t go to the deserted streets to feel melancholy——

< p> Flying, flying, flying——

Look, I have my direction!

Flying in the mid-air,

Recognizing the quiet residence,

Waiting for her to visit in the garden——

< p> Flying, flying, flying——

Ah, she has the fragrance of cinnabar plums!

At that time, relying on my lightness,

I touched her skirt gently,

and got close to her soft heart—— < /p>

Xiaorong, Xiaorong, Xiaorong——

Melted into her soft heart! "The Joy of Snowflakes"

Perhaps, love is only at the beginning;

The moment of first contact;

Still in the hazy budding stage of love; < /p>

When you are still imagining the beauty of the other person,

is the pinnacle of love,

the most beautiful poems are written.

Xu Zhimo seems to have no fear of death. He only thinks that it is another mysterious world. When the world of life cannot be what he wants, the world of death will become attractive.

“...

That day the knot of love tied into my heart,

I looked at it until I died,

That beautiful eternity The world;

I am willing to throw myself into death,

because it is the birth of light and freedom

..." "Inspiration of Love"

p>

But when his friend died, he couldn't let go, was in grief, and couldn't see through the door of life and death.

“…

Why does the ideal shine like a bright lamp in front of you?

Why does the rainbow not always stay in the sky? ?

……

Who can believe that your celestial body

has passed away like a dew?

… …

Did you remember the promise in London, Mansfield?

See you again at the edge of Lake Qinni this summer;

The awakening of life is the coming of age of love,

Now I feel the end of life and love due to death!

...

I shed tears into the wind! Send from Zhongyao,

When will the door of life and death be broken? ""Aiman ??Shufeier"

I particularly like this poem, it is poignant and moving, but due to space limitations, not all of it is available. Transcribed, highly recommended reading.

When a living life suddenly passes away and goes to another world, it is as if it has never been there, leaving only dream-like memories with us. We can only hope that the soul still exists in another world. It's so beautiful, I use it to masturbate.

I mentioned Xu Zhimo’s unique feelings for the cemetery before, and maybe we can get some of his views on death from it.

Kick the mossy courtyard brick lightly,

Count the pine needles carefully;

...

My friend, can you feel this soft silence,

Contains a steel-like fascination,

...

Even if I cannot understand this majestic silence,

I also embrace this silence Zhonghan Mo,

A gentle soul;

...

I am a soul that worships youth, joy and light. ""Silent State"

"Soul", in the cemetery, Xu Zhimo faced countless undead souls. In the quiet realm, he seemed to feel his own soul and recognize his own soul.

In addition to "life, love, and death", there is also "beauty" and the cherishment of "beauty". Therefore, Xu Zhimo always appears to be particularly passionate when encountering beauty, and this tenderness eventually turns into poetry.

/p>

There is sweet sorrow in that sound of cherish——

Sayang Nala! "" Sayang Nala - For Japanese Girls"

"Water "A woman like a lotus", perhaps because of her pure, pure, light and elegant qualities, Xu Zhimo loves lotus, and lotus appears many times in his poems. "She is asleep -

A white lotus slanting under the starlight," "She is asleep"

"Like a snow-white parallel lotus, in love The green stalks are beautiful, joyful and fresh,——" "The Last Day"

"Her face has a lotus-like smile" "Inspiration of Love"

" Ah, she is still a cold and beautiful white lotus,

Leaning against the Xiaofeng, all kinds of exquisiteness; ""Broken"

Poems like "Sayang Nala" are encountered by chance , and there’s another one that also grabbed me right from the start.

I am a cloud in the sky,

Occasionally projected in the center of your wave——

You don’t have to be surprised,

There is no need to rejoice -

disappeared in an instant.

You and I meet on the sea of ??darkness,

You have yours, I have mine, direction;

You may as well remember,

It is best that you forget,

The light that shines upon each other during this encounter! "Accidental"

Xu Zhimo loves to write dreams. Maybe it is because reality is not perfect enough. In dreams, you can love as you want and be free. Dreams have to enter through the door of sleep, and the time between waking and sleeping may be a kind of imitation of life and death. One can come back, the other cannot come back, one wakes up from a dream, and the other stays in the dream forever.

He not only wrote about his own dreams, but also guessed about the girl’s dreams, not knowing who was dreaming them.

"The lovely pear vortex,

explains the joy of the virgin's dream,

like a dewdrop,

quivering,

The morning light shines in the lotus plate! ""She is Asleep"

In addition to the above images, Xu Zhimo's poems also have many other images, such as chasing love. Flying fireflies, passionate cuckoos crying blood, the clear and exquisite moon, brave trekking pilgrims and so on.

"My breath is projected onto you

Like thousands of flying fireflies thrown into the flame?" "The Reincarnation of Spring"

"Where is I?" A passionate friend;

A singing voice that makes people remember the sorrow of spring forever. "Under the Moon, Wait for the Cuckoo to Not Come"

"You come and shine like the clear dew on my pillow." "Grow!" "Poetry"

"A bright moon like a sapphire is looking through the gap in the clouds,

The beautiful woman is opening her mouth vaguely through the window screen, -" "Untitled"

These images are not symbols of Xu Zhimo himself, who is sentimental, firm and persistent.

There are also some poems that are beautiful in themselves and make me firmly believe in the poet's simplicity and kindness.

"In this cold world,

Only a few sympathetic hearts have gathered!" "Rare"

"How many times can there be such a thing in a sea of ??people

Is the tide of love flooding my heart? ""Listening to the Musical Instruments on a Moonlit Night""

"The morning breeze gently shakes the treetops:

The red color of early autumn is gone." "Late Night"

"Like the thin feet of spring rain that softened the spring mud on the road." "Western Window"

Where did Xu Zhimo like this come from?

Why did a young man who was determined to serve his country eventually turn into a poet who seemed useless to a country that was suffering from internal and external troubles?

According to his own words, it was because of "the soft waves of the Cam River".

"Cambridge!

You will always be the hometown of my spiritual attachment!

...

In front of the wintersweet on a warm winter night,

p>

Let’s further discern the appearance and flavor of this day;

Then the spring flowers will bloom,

I will sail west again and come here again ,

……

Thanks to you for a peaceful and peaceful environment,

and times of holy joy,

……

The most unforgettable thing is the Xing Phosphorus Dam music under the Qiansi Teton Bridge,

...

The unforgettable spring sun shines in the evening, splashing a sea of ??pure gold,

...

I will never forget the dusk in July, the distant trees are silent,

...

That wonderful idea can only be captured at the edge of the autumn dream;

I can’t forget the poetic birds that chirp late at night in the elm shade,

I can’t forget the rosy cheeks and white neck of the village girl;

I can’t forget the weeping willows that line the Kang River,

The so-called ‘open my blood and control my heart’,

Remember the new bayberry season next spring,

Look forward to my return with a smile,

Goodbye, my beloved Cambridge. ""Goodbye, Cambridge"

< p>If I could go back to that time, I would also scold Xu Zhimo for being selfish and thinking about the love between his children all day long. But his poems are not only the most common human emotions, they are always applicable regardless of war or peace.

Just looking at his poems, he is worthy of respect and recognition.
