Tagore's short poems

First, you can't get the beauty of flowers by picking petals. -"Birds"

Appreciation: This poem can be interpreted in many ways.

1 can be regarded as a love poem. Love and marriage depend on fate. If fate is bad, even if you take off the "petals", you may not be able to "get the beauty of flowers" or get the happiness you desire.

2. It can also be seen as a mockery of possessiveness. Possession is not the same as possession. If you understand it this way, the meaning will be more profound.

Second, a narrow-minded person thinks that he can scoop the whole sea into his own pond. -"Firefly Collection"

Appreciation: this poem satirizes narrow-minded people, mocking them for being narrow-minded and their hearts are like a small pond; I also laughed at his overreaching and lack of self-knowledge, thinking that he could scoop up the whole sea with a small ladle, and also laughed at his arrogance that he could scoop it into his own small pond.

Third, our desire lends the color of the rainbow to life that is just a fog. -"Birds"

Appreciation: The language expression of this poem is a bit tortuous. This poem uses personification to describe the relationship between "desire" and "fate" This poem is criticizing "our desire". The desire here is not the desire in the general sense, but the "desire" of self-expansion, expansion and even dissatisfaction.

"Our Desire" thinks that its "life" is too dull, too colorless and too lacking in admirable attraction, so it comes up with a way of "borrowing" to add luster to itself. Who can I borrow it from? Borrow a rainbow. The rainbow is high in the sky, colorful and admired by thousands of people. What a beautiful scenery! But can borrowed scenery and colors really add luster to an empty life?

I can't. Tagore believes that "Yun Sheng", which was originally empty, is still confused even if it borrows a rainbow.

Fourth, the contribution of fruits is precious, and the contribution of flowers is sweet, but let me be the contribution of green leaves and hang the shade humbly and intently! -"Birds"

Appreciation: This poem is extremely short and is a metaphor for people. Branches, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits of plants are all part of plant life, and each part has its own uses and contributions, which cannot be substituted for each other. But in comparison, it is flowers that make them look like. Flowers are eye-catching because of their delicate colors, not only in plants, but also in all aspects.

Fruit is favored by people because it can be eaten by people, and it is also the essence of the whole plant in a busy year, and its value lies in this. In contrast, the leaf is not so beautiful, it is just a foil between flowers and fruits. But the poet must make leaves, and take the initiative to do it, but also be modest and concentrate on making leaves. In fact, this is to express the poet's positive indifference to fame and fortune.

5. Error lives next to truth, so it will confuse us. -"Firefly Collection"

Appreciation: The truth contained in this poem is enough to make people think. The poet said that truth and error are only in appearance, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish: truth is sometimes like error, and error is sometimes like truth. The key is whether people can recognize it. If we can't realize this, mistakes will confuse us. If we can realize this, mistakes can't confuse us.
