Golden Flower is an prose poem by Indian poet Tagore.
Prose poetry is a style between prose and poetry, which has the characteristics of both prose and poetry.
The language of prose poetry is poetic and meaningful, but it is not as strict as poetry, with neat sentence patterns, different sentence lengths and more free and lively forms.
Tagore's "Golden Flower" is small, concise, ethereal and beautiful, and it is a very good model for practicing reading aloud.
We always like to describe children with flowers. Tagore imagined the child as a golden flower.
Golden flower, also translated as "Chamboga" or "Chamboga", is a sacred tree in India and a magnolia plant with golden flowers. In India, the golden flower is regarded as a symbol of holiness.
"Golden Flower" is written in a child's tone. The protagonist is a naughty child. He turned into a golden flower and played hide-and-seek with his mother:
He "laughs in the air and dances on new leaves", and when his mother can't find him, "secretly hides his smile there";
He projected it on the page that his mother was reading, so as not to let the strong light reflect into her eyes;
At dusk, his mother went to the cowshed to look for him. He hid for a day and suddenly fell to the ground, becoming a child again, begging his mother to tell him stories.
A few simple scenes and a few simple conversations make the image of a naughty and lovely child come to life.
If you are careful, you can feel the child's deep love for his mother between the lines.
Except for fun, everything he does is to amuse his mother. He was worried to see that his mother couldn't find him, and he knew that her mother loved him, too. Therefore, jokes can't be made big, not to mention that he has to listen to his mother's bedtime story.
So, before nightfall, he changed back in time and gave his mother a big surprise.
What kind of mother is his beloved mother?
There is not much ink about mother in the article, only a few descriptions:
A few words, what a beautiful picture!
I imagined her wet hair hanging over her shoulders after bathing and walking through the tree-lined path full of golden flowers. What a wonderful mother this should be!
I seem to smell the unique fragrance of her freshly washed hair and the fragrance of golden flowers, which is an intoxicating picture.
What a gentle mother she is. No matter how naughty the child is, she is not angry. Even if the child suddenly changes back after hiding for a day, she will pretend to be angry and say, "Where have you been, you bad boy!" " "
She prays every day and sits at the window reading Ramayana. As you can imagine, she is a quiet, loving reading and trusting mother.
The whole story of "Golden Flower" is written in a child's tone, which makes the work fresh and lively, just like a mountain stream, jumping out of the most beautiful notes.
When reading this prose poem aloud, we should pay attention to the dialogue between the characters, not only the naughty and lovely children, but also the gentle and amiable mother. Especially the last two lines:
A "bad" word contains a mother's slight anger and anxiety, but it is not really angry and angry. She should be able to read that gentle and slightly angry tone.
And the child's "I won't tell you, mom" should read the child's proud and coquettish tone to his mother.
Reading in this way, every time you read it, will be as fresh and warm as bathing in the morning sunshine.
Reading aloud makes literature more beautiful and life more beautiful!
