Make an appreciative comment
The whole poem is just one sentence. There is nothing to say. This little poem, with only two lines, shook the whole poetry circle after the publication of the third issue of 1980 Star. No matter who holds a positive or negative attitude towards this poem of Romon, it has been unanimously praised.
It is brand-new in aesthetic principle. It avoids the direct expression of emotion and abandons the real narration of the scene. It does not deliberately construct a complete artistic conception, but highlights an unusual pair of "black eyes" (a symbol of a generation's awakening) on a thick black background by metaphor. It seems that you can see a beam of white light coming out of a gap in the dark clouds. The whole poem is like a three-dimensional print.
"Night" and "light" form a sharp contrast between dark and bright colors, and "black eyes" are deformed intentions and permeated with strong emotional colors. This artistic expression has aroused readers' imagination, so the suffocating times appear on the screen of imagination, distorting the younger generation who grew up in absurd reality, and the tenacious spirit of seeking broke out from the potential buried in their hearts. This is a statue of a whole generation.
A set of simple intentions of "night-eyes-light" constitute an open space-time. ............................................................................................................................... It is a unique law of poetry that ....................... expresses infinity in finiteness and profundity in simplicity. The pioneers of the new poetry tide are pursuing the return of human nature and the return of poetry itself.
This little poem embodies a style of modern beauty. It breaks the traditional harmonious composition, creates a shocking artistic effect with a disharmonious image combination, and forces people to reflect on history.
