Reflections after reading "My Lover Is So Elegant·Dante"

My lover is so elegant and dignified,

When she greets people,

always makes people fall silent because their tongues tremble,

p>

His eyes did not dare to meet her gaze.

She walked through, in the middle of a crowd of praises,

But her whole body was full of humility and gentleness,

She did not seem to be Mortal women come from heaven,

only come to the world to show miracles.

Her cuteness makes one's eyes unblinking.

A sweetness flows into the heart through the eyes.

You will never understand it if you have never tasted it. Pass it:

From her lips, it seems to be slightly emanating

A soft aura full of love,

It knocks at your heart and commands Said: "Sigh!"

Appreciation

"My Lover is So Elegant" comes from Dante's collection of lyric poems "Rebirth", It is the crystallization of Dante's love for Beatrice, a heartfelt praise from a fiery soul to another holy soul, and also represents the stylistic characteristics of the "gentle new style" poetic school.

From this lyric poem, we can see that one of Dante's characteristics when writing poetry is that he pays special attention to feedback information and highlights the strong response caused objectively. He did not directly describe his impression of Beatrice or the impact of Beatrice's charming image on himself, but through the reactions of people who came into contact with her, as a kind of feedback information, Through people's perception of the "soft aura full of love" emanating from her, we can uniquely express her elegance, dignity, humility and gentleness, and show her angelic miraculous ability to influence people's hearts and transform people's souls. mental strength. In the last sentence of the poem, when people face the holy image, they can only sigh to dispel it, without any secular associations, which further highlights her unique charm that "she does not seem to be a mortal woman, but comes from heaven" .

Another characteristic of Dante when writing poems is that he is good at combining physical and psychological elements to appropriately show the complex and subtle emotional changes and development of the lyric protagonist's inner world, "Tongue Trembling" Words such as "Don't dare to look directly at each other" prominently express Beatrice's charm and the shock and impact it brings to people, while words such as "soft aura" and "showing miracles" have already The charm of women is purified into a kind of religious emotion and becomes the object of worship, which is consistent with the characteristics of the medieval times and Dante's unique world view as the last poet of the Middle Ages and the first poet of the new era.
