The sick rose-william blake
Oh, Rose, you are sick.
The blooming roses are fascinating,
Invisible worm
The shadowless worm flies in the dark.
Fly at night
Why does the storm roar so fast?
In the roaring storm
It's already night.
Found your bed
Looking for someone who is sad,
Crimson happiness,
The crimson music bed is the love of roses.
And his dark crush
Weak love in the dead of night,
Your life will be destroyed.
Write your life for nothing.
Appreciate:
In western literature, "rose" has always been a symbol of beautiful love, but Blake transformed this traditional image in his unique way and gave it new ideological connotation.
Literally, "sick rose" is a poem, describing a rose that was attacked by pests and died on a stormy night.
In fact, the "rose" and "bug" in the poem are not just a flower and an insect in reality, but symbols with profound meaning.
Here "rose" is personified, meaning "female beauty", "love" or a kind of "sensory pleasure".
The "bed" in the poem can refer to both the woman's "bed" and the flower bed itself.
Similarly, "crimson joy" contains the beauty of red roses and the joy of cheating.
Love in the poem appears in a morbid state, which is caused by "invisible bugs".
The whole poem implies that love is no longer pure and beautiful because of "black unrequited love" and loses innocence and chastity. From this point of view, the connotation of poetry is very rich, pointing in different directions.
The whole poem has profound implications, and in a sense, it expresses an idea that "innocence" is destroyed by "experience".
