In the first section, the poet integrated various senses and first captured the "tide" of the soil. What we often describe in literary works is "the fragrance of the earth" or "the smell of the earth", and meireles gives the earth a sense of texture, which vividly shows the meaning of "moistening" brought by the earth. This ingenious combination of words gives people a feeling of "unfamiliarity" and makes people look at the characteristics of "earth" from a novel perspective. Although "washing stones with water" was originally a dynamic process, which could make a rapid sound or give people a strong visual impact, meireles used the word "breathing", which reminds people of the flexible and long-term competition between water and stones. But then the dash changed the pen and used "unstable time of time!" " In a word, the passage and instability of time are linked with the two distinct images of "earth" and "washed stone", and poetry suddenly becomes profound and has philosophical meaning. Then the author chose the images of "cold and naked, with nothing" and "shadow on the hillside", which laid the cold and pessimistic tone of the whole poem.
In the second section, the poet listed several common scenes for us in succession. "Leaves" are the symbol of the color of life in our daily life. The vibrant green gives people hope, but the leaves in the poet's eyes are "humic". At dawn, everything should wake up from the darkness, but the poem says, "Nothing happened." Lips are used to make sounds and can express people's emotions, but the lips in the poem are "unlucky lips!" " Here, the poet uses abnormal methods to arouse our thinking about the existing world. What should the world be like?
In the third season, a "fresh and clean" and "dew-filled" field appeared, but even this field has its own loneliness, because it has no wild flowers and lush trees, only "loneliness, only its fragrance". It seems that "field" is a symbol of human beings and human existence here, with multiple meanings. Although it exists in pain and loneliness, it can still be opened with "air from all directions/prepared purest flowers" anyway. After all, there is still hope. As long as there is hope, then existence is meaningful.
The last verse of this poem further aroused this theme. The constant flow of time brings people thinking, fantasy, disappointment and pain. Life is dialectical, because when you enjoy the "peace of life", grow up slowly, mature and understand more truth, you have to bear the cost of "passing away" your thoughts, and this is life, and this is the poet's thoughts in the "night"! Among them, some words have multiple meanings, such as "Miyun" between the beautiful "star winds", which can refer to the shadows in life, and can also be interpreted as people's various thoughts and explorations of the whole universe, making poetry have the possibility of multiple interpretations and full of tension.
As far as artistic features are concerned, the poet inherited the excellent tradition of forging good sentences, broke the boundaries of time and space, omitted the usual exposition, and even broke through the general coherence of ideas, seeing surprises in the ordinary, gathering thousands of times in an instant, and shrinking Wan Li at hand. In the aspect of poetic rhythm, the simple forms of poetry change endlessly, which is neither completely controlled by rhythm nor forced to rhyme. Rhyme is also similar to "semi-rhyme" or "adjacent rhyme", and sometimes it is simply blank. So the format is neat and symmetrical, and there is a harmonious beauty. At the same time, it also shows that personal feelings are very gentle and lingering, and things are mixed with me, with endless aftertaste.
