To live, you must be brilliant, unrestrained, and like summer. The blooming flowers are so gorgeous and vigorous. We should treat life well, cherish life, and live a meaningful and valuable life instead of living in a muddle.
Autumn leaves, sentimental, melancholy, poignant, quiet, facing death, facing death. For life to return to nature, we must let it pass away quietly and peacefully. It does not have to be vigorous, just as quietly as autumn leaves, let alone feel sad and fearful

Creative background
"The Collection of Birds" was created in 1913, and the first edition was completed in 1916. Part of "The Collection of Birds" was translated by the poet from his collection of Bengali aphoristic poems "The Collection of Broken Jade" (1899), and the other part is the impromptu English poem written by the poet when he visited Japan in 1916.
The poet has been staying in Japan for more than three months, and ladies are constantly asking him to inscribe fans or commemorative books. The poet once praised the simplicity of Japanese haiku, and his "Asuka Collection" was obviously influenced by this poetic style. "The Collection of Birds" expresses the deep spiritual pursuit - the ultimate principle or god of the universe of love and harmony.
