Bachmann (Austria)
Your hat is lifted gently, saluting people and floating in the wind.
Your exposed hair fascinates Baiyun,
Your heart is nostalgic,
Your mouth absorbs new languages, and several bamboo plants keep growing in China.
Chrysanthemums are blown away in summer.
You can't see the snowflake petals clearly, you raise your face,
You laugh, you cry, you kill yourself,
What else will happen to you-
Explain to me, love!
Peacock, very surprised,
The dove lifted the feathers from its neck,
The air is full of cooing,
The male duck is barking, and the whole earth is barking.
In a quiet park, sucking honey everywhere,
Every flower bed is also inlaid with golden pollen.
Fish is red, more than fish.
Through the cave and into the coral layer.
Scorpions jump timidly to the music on the silver beach.
Beetles smell the most beautiful female in the distance;
If I feel it, I will feel it,
Wings shine under the golden armor,
Fly to the strawberry bushes in the distance!
Explain to me, love!
Water has the ability to speak,
Water waves go hand in hand with water waves,
The grapes on Grape Hill have grown up and jumped down.
The snail crawled out of its shell frankly!
A stone will touch another stone!
Dear, if there is anything I can't explain, please explain it to me:
I should let this short and terrible time
Only associate with thoughts, be alone.
Without understanding love, there is no action of love?
People can't leave their minds? He won't feel lost, will he?
You don't have to explain anything to me. I saw the spirit of fire
Come and go in flames.
There was no terrorist attack on him, and he did not suffer any pain.

Austrian woman writer ingeborg bachmann (1926— 1973) has lived abroad for many years. Her main achievement is the creation of lyric poetry, including poems such as Time Lost and Calling for Xiong Xing. Most of the poems are free-verse, with creative and musical words and strong appeal. The content of poetry often has the voice of praising songs and uses extremely abstract symbolism. Poetry often shows the threat that people suffer, but it also shows the scene that people are saved.
Explain to me, lover, selected from the collection of poems, The Time of Procrastination, shows the sadness and doubts of the poet as a symbolic poet after he comes into contact with the real emotional life.
The poet's conception is ingenious, his expression is subtle and profound, and his feelings are embedded in various situations. Because of the poet's rich imagination, he mixed all kinds of feelings and used phonology and word collocation that ordinary people didn't use, which produced strange effects. The whole poem is divided into three sections, and the theme sentence "Tell me, love" appears twice in the poem, which not only plays a role in pointing out the topic, but also has a profound deepening role in connecting the past with the future.
At the beginning of the poem, the poet sets pen to paper from the wind and clouds and outlines the beautiful image of lovers. But the poet's mood has not warmed up, because the poet has realized: "Your heart misses something, and your mouth absorbs new languages." The poet saw that "Zhu" was growing, and "Cui Chrysanthemum" was blown away and blown down, which was beyond the poet's power. From the scene, the poet asked, "You are laughing and crying, and you are suicidal. What will happen to you? " It shows that the poet can't grasp his lover's confusion and helpless sadness. Driven by emotion, the poet couldn't help asking, "Love, explain it to me."
In the second section, the poet did not follow the above, but turned his pen and used a whole paragraph to describe the natural scenery, which was very symbolic. All the poet's feelings are dissolved in these landscapes, which makes them have extremely profound connotations. Peacocks, pigeons, drakes, the earth, fish, scorpions and beetles are all looking for their partners and chasing their lovers in this romantic and energetic season. Seeing is believing, the poet sighed: "If I have its mood, I will feel my wings shining under the golden armor and heading for strawberry Cong Fei in the distance." The "it" in this sentence refers to the beetle that "smells the most beautiful female insect from a distance" in the previous sentence. But this is a hypothesis after all. The poet is still wondering and wandering, not knowing how to communicate with his lover. The poet once again asked, "Love, explain it to me!" " "
In the third section, the poet still begins with the scenery, "Water waves and water waves go hand in hand, grapes grow up and jump down, and snails climb out of their shells frankly!" One stone will touch another. But the poet is still thinking, is this still an act of ignorance and lovelessness? Once again, the poet implored, "Love, please explain to me what I can't explain." In an instant, the poet suddenly felt the terrible feeling brought by this difficult struggle. He thought to himself, "You can't leave your mind? "Then the pen changed, from begging for explanation to refusing to explain, and the poet's mood turned calm." There is no need to explain anything to me. "What is the reason for it?" I saw the essence of fire, coming and going in all the flames. There was no terrorist attack on him, and he did not suffer any pain. "It makes sense in the scene, and everything is always thoughtful and unmoved. People will suffer from this kind of thought, and so will love.
