Beautiful flowers, so beautiful,
Hidden in this quiet, dreary retreat.
Beautiful honeysuckle,
You suddenly bloom in a quiet corner.
Never touch your sweet flowers in full bloom,
Wheat straw is full of branches, no one cares,
Can't see your twig greeting;
Dancing in the wind, no one noticed.
... here, no wandering footsteps will crush you,
Wanderers never trample on your body,
... no busy hands to stir up tears.
Passers-by never shed tears at you.
In the white of nature,
Nature makes you white with silver makeup,
She told you to avoid vulgar eyes,
You can stay away from mediocre eyes.
Planted the shadow of Gordien here,
She gave you lush green shade,
Give off gurgling water;
She brings you a stream of water.
... your summer passed quietly,
The quiet summer suddenly comes,
... your days are getting quiet.
You finally declined, faded, and jade disappeared.
Crushed by the charm that must rot,
Charming, but you can't last long,
I look at your future bad luck sadly;
It's red all over the floor, and you make me feel sad.
They're dead-not that the flowers are happier,
Even in the Garden of Eden, a paradise on earth,
Flowers in full bloom in Eden;
It is inevitable that it will wither one day and be desolate everywhere.
... to lift the frost, the power of autumn
Bleak autumn wind, sad white autumn frost,
... will not leave a trace of this flower.
You finally disappeared without a trace.
From the morning sun and the dew at night
Dawn and dusk,
At first, your little life came:
Gave birth to your petite body.
If you don't have it once, you will lose nothing.
You come from dust and return to dust.
Because when you die, you are the same;
Come empty-handed and go away with dust,
... there's only an hour between them,
Alas, life is short,
... the duration of flower fragility.
After all, you are red and fragrant.
Wild Lonicera is a short poem written by Fraineau when he saw a secluded bunch of honeysuckle flowers while walking in Charleston, South Carolina. The poet described the blooming wild honeysuckle in North America with keen observation, simple vocabulary, beautiful melody and clear images.
1. This poem is divided into two parts. The first two sections describe the scenery and the second two sections express feelings. The purpose of scenery writing is lyric, and lyric is based on scenery writing. The two parts complement each other and become an inseparable whole.
When the poet was surprised to see the magical products of nature, his heart was filled with infinite admiration for nature. If the shade refers to a new continent that has not been invaded by human civilization, those beautiful honeysuckle flowers should be the concrete embodiment of life created by nature.
The poet painted a prosperous and peaceful scene with simple words. In his admiration of life, he revealed the plot of returning to nature and advocating nature, which was full of romantic sentiment and idealism.
4. Fraineau, with his deep feelings and subtle feelings for American land, expressed his sigh over the short life by describing the growing environment and ups and downs of honeysuckle, adding a layer of philosophical thinking to the beautiful artistic conception and rich local flavor of American land.
5. In this poem, Fraineau depicts and eulogizes the magnificence of nature with lyrical style, and at the same time reveals the cruelty and transience of nature, which is both romantic and imagist. It is indeed a masterpiece.
