What can I use to keep you?

The appreciation of Borges's What Can I Keep You is as follows:

"What can I use to keep you" expresses my loneliness and sadness. I hope someone can understand him, love him and hug him. There are many negative images in poems, which are different from many love poems. Generally, when talking about love or pursuing girls, we will use some positive things such as exquisite roses, the sun and bright stars. This poem uses the phrase "I tried to impress you with confusion, danger and failure".

Because these so-called "negativity" let me see the humbleness of emotion and let me understand how the other person admires me; At the same time, it also makes me feel * * *: Every kind of loneliness and sadness embodied in Borges drips into my heart, which makes me stand with this person completely, understand him, love him and want to hug him.

The poem "What can I use to keep you" is a famous sentence in Borges' works. Both English and Chinese versions are amazing to read, and the feelings between the lines are profound and touching. This poem was written in 1934 and included in the collection of poems Another One. It is an excerpt from Dedicated to Beatrice Bibroni Webster de Burridge, so it is a love poem.
