I am a cloud in the sky,
Occasionally reflected in your mind-
You shouldn't be surprised,
There's no need to be happy-
It disappeared in an instant.
You and I met in the dark sea,
You have yours, I have mine, direction;
You remember it well,
You'd better forget,
The light that shines on each other at this intersection!
Xu Zhimo's "Accidental" is probably just a love poem, written for a lover who falls in love by chance and then lives far apart. However, the image of this poem has gone beyond itself. We can completely regard this poem as an exclamation of life. On the road of life, there are many accidental encounters and many beautiful things. They are just accidental encounters and will never be repeated. Whether it's lingering affection or touching friendship, whether it's great maternal love or pure childlike innocence, whether it's a knowing smile on the street or a few words on the journey, it's often a flash in the pan and disappears. How much of those lost beauty and love can be recovered? The devil of time took everything away. Clouds in the sky occasionally flash by in the heart of the waves, which is really "no need to be surprised, let alone happy". What's more, in the vast sea of life, sometimes even if you travel endlessly, you can't reach the other side. Everyone has everyone's direction, we meet by chance, and then we will be separated in a hurry, and there is no hope of meeting again. Those "lights" that are released to each other when they meet, and those feelings that are poured into each other when they meet, "remember, it is best to forget."
The poet realized the disappearance of many "beauty" and "love" in life and wrote the sense of loss in life. This is the profound mystery and implication of life in this poem.
The poet's feelings are temperate, and his modality is natural and unrestrained. After the most difficult and precious things disappear, expressing the sense of loss in a seemingly casual tone makes this poem not only achieve the beauty of harmony in appearance, but also have an elegant beauty in internal poetry. In the middle of the first two paragraphs of the poem, there are two sentences, "Don't be surprised, let alone happy" and "Remember better to forget", which contain a very tortuous mentality and a very delicate affection. On the one hand, it has the charm of Chris Dina Luo Saidi (1830- 1894, a British Victorian poetess). She wrote in Remember Me, "I would rather you forget and smile than you remember and be sad"; On the other hand, we can also experience a bitter emotional appeal that is helpless and pretentious in the face of fate. These two aspects constitute a three-dimensional, fuzzy aesthetic body. If you keep thinking and experiencing, you will have fresh feelings when you watch and ponder from different sides. Show quite elegant taste.
In such a short poem, Xu Zhimo points out a hazy and glittering, small and boundless world with such a simple artistic conception, such a rigorous format and such a concise melody. We walk in this world, how many sighs of life, how many memories of the past, how many memories of the past, ... But we don't cry, let alone grab the land. We just walk slowly, a little heavily, and occasionally look up. Passing through the grape trellis or deep blue clouds, a meteor just flew by, and a faint sadness rose in my heart. But still walking, the slow and a little heavy footsteps, like an "Eternity", stay in the night sky.
It is light and elegant, but it can't hide the sadness of reality, and there is a faint loss hidden in the depths of emotion. The poet is not indifferent to beauty and life, but has a deep attachment and persistent pursuit, but "beauty" or other aspects of life, like clouds in the sky and lights on the sea at night, all disappear in an instant. He has a vision, but at the same time he can't get rid of a faint sadness. "If you remember, you'd better forget" seems philosophical and detached. But in aesthetic psychology, this is not the case. "You'd better forget" is actually the last thing you can forget. No detachment, no dispensation. Some are sad in reality, and they are songs sung by a real person, a person who is obsessed with life, and an ideal person who has been frustrated repeatedly. Vision and despair, sadness and chic are wonderfully intertwined. This is the sorrow of a pure poet. His elegance is mostly due to his pursuit of elegance and beauty and restraint of feelings.
Xu Zhimo lived in the darkest age of a poor country. He is full of "beautiful" hopes, struggling to pursue the ideal light in the cracks of the times, but all of them are like flowers on the beach, fading in an instant. His voice, forced by the "shadow of life", finally became dull and dry. Even some early poems, such as I don't know where the wind blows, are so gentle and elegant, but if you appreciate them carefully, they are all sad. 1926 wrote "accidental". The deep message of this poem is full of faint sadness. Poets have no intention to devote themselves to the fiery struggle of the times, nor to express the so-called "essence of the times", but the suffering of the times is also reflected in the depths of a real poet in a tortuous way.
Some researchers believe that "accidentally" sees "the relationship between people is erratic and without a trace" and "sees everything as insignificant and indispensable, turning fiery feelings and exuberant life into light smoke". This conclusion can not be completely wrong, but it can not be completely correct, because it is based on the researcher's understanding of the surface information of the poem "accident" However, the eternal charm of a poem comes from its deep information. The deep message in Accidental conveys a sense of loss in life-it is elegant and light. -it is the heart sound that the poet's soul full of aura pops up instantly. Simple notes reverberate with long, elegant beauty and ups and downs, and elegant artistic conception is profound. ...
