These lines are from Xu Zhimo's Farewell to Cambridge, which is also the climax of the poem Farewell to Cambridge, and inherit the whimsy of "seeking dreams". Among them, the sentence "Silence is a farewell flute" is ingenious, which compares "silence" to "farewell flute", turning silence into action, virtual into reality, intangible into tangible, silent into sound, and has a good aesthetic effect. The phrase "Silence is Cambridge tonight" has a similar effect.

Farewell to Cambridge is a famous work by Xu Zhimo, a modern poet, and also a representative work of crescent poetry.
This poem was written by Xu Zhimo on his way home after his third trip to Europe. The time is1928165438+10. The place is China. One summer at the end of July, after staying at the home of the British philosopher Russell for one night, a man quietly came to Cambridge to find his English friend without any notice in advance.
Unfortunately, none of his English friends are here, only Cambridge, which he is familiar with, is waiting for him silently, and scenes of past life reappear before his eyes. I was in a hurry to meet another English friend, so I didn't record this emotional activity. It was not until he left Marseille by boat on his way home, facing the rough sea and the vast sky, that he unfolded the paper and wrote down his personal feelings about returning to Cambridge this time.
The whole poem takes the emotional ups and downs when leaving Cambridge as a clue to express the deep affection for Cambridge's departure. The language is light and soft, and the form is exquisite and mellow. The poet paints a flowing picture by alternating reality and reality, which constitutes a wonderful artistic conception everywhere. It shows in detail the poet's love for Cambridge, his longing for his past life, and his helpless sadness at present, which is the swan song in Xu Zhimo's poems.
