works appreciation
Tagore paid great attention to the description of nature in Birds. A bird, a flower, a star and a drop of rain all have humanity and vitality. He loves the whole nature. He believes that there is an internal connection between human emotions and natural forces, or that nature is integrated into human emotions, or that human emotions are integrated into nature. Only by blending in with nature can we purify our life.
Nature not only provides a suggestive image, but also actively helps us erase all traces of separation in human life; Lovers may be separated, and this separation will be submerged under the green grass and flowers laughing in the sun. After reading his works, people feel that the activities of the universe and the changes of life are meaningful and happy, giving people endless courage.
Poets don't write about nature for its own sake. Nature and people live in harmony here. Describing the vast nature actually gives human nature great freedom. Birds flying freely in the sky symbolizes the great freedom that human beings want but can't reach.
