Rain Alley
Rain Alley
Holding an oil-paper umbrella alone
Wandering in the long, long
Lonely rain lane,
I hope to see
Like cloves.
A girl with a grudge.
She does.
Clove-like color,
Lilac-like fragrance,
Sad as cloves,
Mourning in the rain,
Sadness and hesitation;
She lingers in this lonely rain lane,
Hold an oil-paper umbrella
Like me,
Like me.
In silence,
Cold, sad, melancholy.
She approached quietly.
Get close and throw again.
Breathing eyes,
She floated by.
Like a dream,
Sad and confused like a dream.
Floating like a dream
A lilac,
I passed this girl by;
She went away silently, far away,
When we reached the decaying fence,
Walk through this rainy path.
In the lamentation of the rain,
Remove her color,
Scattered her fragrance.
Disappeared, even hers
Breathing eyes,
Lilac is melancholy.
Holding an oil-paper umbrella alone
Wandering in the long, long
Lonely rain lane,
I hope to float over.
Like cloves.
A girl with a grudge.
Extended data:
Rain Lane is a famous work by Dai Wangshu. By describing the narrow and gloomy rain lane, the lonely traveler wandering in the rain lane and the girl as sad as lilac, the author implicitly implies that the author is confused and sad, giving people a hazy and profound aesthetic feeling. Some people interpret these images as a microcosm of the dark society at that time, or as people who failed in the revolution and hazy and intermittent hopes.
Rain Lane was written in the summer of 1927, after the bloody "412" massacre. The poet is 22 years old. The poet, who was arrested for taking part in the revolution, fell into pain in the face of the white terror that enveloped the whole country. He lives in seclusion in a friend's house in Songjiang, Jiangsu, chewing "being the distress of China people in this era", "sitting in the night listening to the wind and sleeping in the night listening to the rain", expecting a gorgeous rainbow to float in the haze.
But living in poverty, poets can only seek comfort in "old footprints", "colorful clothes of youth" and wandering under the stars. The softness of personality and the pressure of the times make Rain Lane a projection of reality darkness and disillusionment in the poet's heart, full of feelings of hesitation, disappointment and sadness.
Dai Wangshu's poems are full of graceful and graceful poetic style in China's classical poems, but influenced by the French symbolism poetry school, his early poems generally show a kind of loneliness, melancholy and depression.
This poem is both true and empty, hazy and trance. "I" seems to be full of worries and infinite worries, but I don't want to make it clear or say it. "I" seems to be looking forward to something and pursuing something, but the goal of looking forward to and pursuing seems so distant and slim. "She" appeared, maybe it was an illusion, or it could be true, but "she" appeared so quickly and passed away so quickly, flashed by and disappeared in front of her eyes, "as sad and confused as a dream".
"I" only feel sorry for myself and feel sorry for myself. The "girl" in the poem can be regarded as a real reference, a beautiful, noble and melancholy girl that the poet has been waiting for for a long time. But we can also regard this "girl" as a hazy ideal and pursuit in the poet's heart, which represents the poet's hazy vision for the future when his life is depressed.
