[UK] Appreciation of the love poems of Milton's "Eve's Love"
[UK] Milton
Talking to you makes me forget all the time
Forgot the seasons and their changes; all the joy
I can’t even remember; the morning breath is the sweetest——
How sweet it is , after a while, add the early birds
The first burst of chirping; in the east, the sun is rising,
dyeing the beautiful rivers and mountains with a layer of golden light, and then dyeing them red
Flowers, plants, trees and fruits sparkling with dew,
How lovely that scene is; after the soft showers,
The fertile earth exudes the fragrance of earth; how beautiful it is ——
The dusk, gentle and making people grateful, arrived;
Then the night came quietly, the night birds came,
A round The bright moon has risen, bringing with it her attendants -
stars like gems; however, regardless of the
morning breath, little birds will be added after a while
p>
The first burst of chirping; it is still the rising sun,
Shining on the beautiful rivers and mountains, shining on flowers, plants and fruits -
The dewdrops are shining; it is still the soil after the shower Fragrance;
The dusk is gentle and makes people grateful; the quiet night,
her night birds; and the moonlight walks,
or that The twinkling starlight, without you, would not be sweet or beautiful.

"Eve's Love" is selected from Volume 4 of "Paradise Lost" by the poet Milton.
"Paradise Lost" was written by Milton after the failure of the British bourgeois revolution. At that time, many poets and dramatists betrayed and surrendered after the restoration of the king's power, but Milton stood firm and fought to the end with his huge pen of poetry. In the difficult and difficult environment, he recited three famous poems: "Paradise Lost", "Paradise Lost" and "Paradise Lost". "Restore Paradise" and "Samson the Strong". Since he was already blind at that time, these three major poems were composed by him reciting and dictating them to his assistants.
The story told in the epic poem "Paradise Lost" originated from the second and third chapters of the Christian Bible. There are only about forty sentences in the relevant records in the Bible. After Milton's careful processing and artistic imagination, it became an epic masterpiece with more than ten thousand lines.
The epic poem "Paradise Lost" tells the story of how the human ancestors Adam and Eve lost the Garden of Eden. The devil, Satan, could not bear the supreme power of God and led a rebellion against divine authority. After the failure, the demons were sent to hell. Satan swore: Victory or defeat has not yet been decided, and he will avenge his defeat. He heard that God had created the world and inhabited it by perfect creatures called humans. He was determined to seize this newly created world and tempt humans to serve them, demons. Satan turned into a snake and tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. Adam could not resist Eve's persuasion and also ate the forbidden fruit. Their disloyalty offended God, and God declared that the snake would forever become the mortal enemy of mankind; Eve would suffer much pain during childbirth and would always obey Adam; Adam could only fill his stomach with sweat and hard work. God banished them from the Garden of Eden forever. In the end, Adam and Eve joined hands from paradise to the wild land with the hope of mankind being saved again.
Twelve volumes of "Paradise Lost". The fourth volume describes the carefree and happy life of Adam and Eve, the first ancestors, before mankind lost paradise. "Eve's Love" is a conversation between them, in which Eve expresses her love feelings to Adam.
The first sentence uses an exaggerated approach to describe the joy that Eve gained in her conversation with Adam (that is, the joy of love) - forgetting time, forgetting the seasons and seasonal changes, forgetting everything else joy. Then the poet mobilizes various sense organs to count the wonderful changes in nature from sunrise to sunset: the sweet breath of the morning, the singing of birds... the gem-like stars, etc. From smell and taste, such as "the sweet morning breath", to hearing, such as "the chirping of birds", vision, such as "flowers and grass stained red with dewdrops" and touch, such as "soft showers of rain". One by one, they describe the vital joy of immersing yourself wholeheartedly in nature. Everything is intoxicating, everything is so beautiful! "But", the poet changed his pen and succinctly recounted the scene that brought happiness before, but removed those enchanting decorative words, and sighed, "If I don't have you, "Everything will not be sweet or beautiful."
The poet used a variety of rhetorical means, clear words and beautiful sentences, calm and graceful, to express Eve's deep love for Adam and create a simple atmosphere. The beautiful state of holiness.
