John donne (UK)
When I was here,
Let me cry in front of you;
Your face turned tears into money and marked them,
After this casting, tears became valuable things.
Because tears are like this
With your appearance;
Tears are the fruits of many sorrows, and more symbols-when a drop of tear drops falls, you also fall into it.
So you and I are nothing but different shores.
On a sphere,
A worker with a model can
Create Europe, Africa and Asia
It was finished soon, but it was nothing; ②
So it contains your
Every tear,
One earth, one world, growing in this picture,
Finally, your tears and mine were drowned.
The world, in your tears, melted my heaven. ③
Oh, far better than the bright moon,
Instead of rolling up the waves and drowning me in your circle,
Don't cry and say I'm dead, in your arms, but don't go.
Teaching waves to do it will be too fast.
Let the wind find it.
Its precedent,
Do something worse to me than it wants to do;
Since you and I sigh together,
Whoever sighs the most is the most cruel and accelerates the death of the other party.
(translated as attacking Xiaolong)
This is another famous poem in john donne's farewell love poem. The first two verses of this poem are stacked with strange metaphors: tears, coins, nothingness, the earth and floods. On the surface, it looks like an irrelevant image. How did it get internal integration unexpectedly? How do poets observe, comprehend and associate? We refer to the enlightenment of Eliot, a modern American poet: "Through rapid free association", we can explore the "connotation development" of poetry chapters.
The first sentence of this poem is that in A Farewell: My Mourning, I, a person who advocates restraining "the storm of sighs and the tide of tears", finally opened the floodgate of tears in front of the spring rain when Pear loves his wife and poured them in front of you. Two tears of love quickly melted, and the inspiration of the poem flashed dizzyingly. I was in tears. These flowers were beautiful, so I magically cast jade-like coins on them. The bitter tears of love were originally full of strong cohesion, and suddenly turned into "the most valuable thing", which is a symbol of value image to show my love for "you" in my heart forever! At the beginning of the poem, contrary to the original intention of "men don't flick when they have tears", a unique and ingenious association mechanism is formed on "tears" and "lamenting violence" to express the wisdom and righteousness of metaphysics.
After the metaphor of minting coins with tears, the poet sang a unique mystery: "Tears are the fruits of many sorrows", which can also derive "more symbols"-"nothingness". This is the poetic eye that dominates the whole article, that is, thinking about the duality of the value and efficacy of love and tears. One is that craftsmen can draw the whole world on a blank globe as a metaphor, which symbolizes that if sob can be properly controlled, the thermal energy fusion of its core can produce great creativity. Secondly, contrary to the flood from heaven in the Bible and Genesis, the flood rushed for forty days and "drowned the world". It symbolizes that if tears are out of control, they will leak like nuclear rays, which will breed great destructive power ... From this, we can find that a series of comparisons from the initial coins to the globe and the flood are the contrast of the value and function of tears, which is the connotation mechanism designed by the poet with the great power of long-span imagination.
In the last section, Donne found the conclusion that stress ring should be avoided on the basis of positive and negative proofs: don't let bright tears "I did something worse than it wanted to do". Warn my beloved wife not to let hot tears make waves foolishly and drown me; Don't "cry" me to death because you and I share weal and woe ... This is the last point. I advise my wife: face the reality, think calmly, don't do stupid things that hurt relatives and enemies, but run the creative function of "tears of love" to deal with unexpected situations.
This is a philosophical love poem "A drop of tears sees a thousand things". It conquered the readers with the rational beauty of thinking and emotion, and also showed the creative characteristics of Donne's thinking, more traditional and novel feeling. Poets combine different perceptual images with fantastic ideas to express love and * * *, which is the philosophical feature of metaphysical poetry.
