In the shade, I met the lovely Louisa. This girl is like the goddess in Shui Ze. Why? I dare not speak when I see her.
She jumped over the rocks nimbly and powerfully, just like a stream flying down a cliff in May!
She likes her fire, her hut and running back and forth in swamps and valleys;
Whether it's bleak and sad weather or struggle in the wind and rain.
Look at the raindrops shining on her cheeks, ah! If only I could kiss it!
When she winds along the stream, she looks for waterfalls; I think, if I can sit in an ancient cave or a corner covered with moss, I am willing to abandon everything in the world and snuggle up to her for a moment!
Boutique appreciation
Wordsworth (1770- 1850), a famous English poet of the Lake Poetry School, also belongs to the romantic poetry camp, but he has different social concepts from Shelley and Byron. He is conservative, hates bourgeois industrial civilization and yearns for the values of traditional feudal rural society. Therefore, there is always an emphasis on the beauty of nature in his poems.
This poem has a simple and fresh pastoral fragrance. On a beautiful and vivid rural picture, an agile and energetic girl jumps over rocks in front of the poet, just like a free mountain god, with natural beauty. As for who Louisa is, later experts have argued, but it is said that the poet wrote it to his sister-in-law when he accompanied his wife's sister on an outing. His sister-in-law, whose real name is Jeanne Hutchinson, is a girl with wild temperament.
