In the history of world poetry,1925 65438+the story that happened to the great Russian pastoral poet Ye Saining in the winter of February 28th will be recorded forever. On that day, at the age of 30, he ended his life with a rope in the hotel.
When the news came out, poets and poetry lovers regardless of national boundaries were shocked and dumbfounded! Some feel sorry for him, some lament for him, and some cry for him. But unfortunately, all this can't save Ye Saining's life, leaving only memories of his life's poetry creation and "love" and various speculations about suicide!
(Gorky)
(1) Takahashi believes that Ye Saining's tragedy is natural.
Gorky believes that if we can't understand and appreciate the profound meaning of the historical process embodied by the so-called urban-rural alliance, it is likely that more than one talented poet will die.
Some critics also said: Gorky's above views are basically correct, but as a historian, Gorky also owes the poet a little understanding. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the global economy advanced by leaps and bounds. History broke the old relations of production with the sound of steel, but also broke those pastoral hearts. Many philosophers are deeply worried that in the process of mechanization of production, human beings are also mechanized, not to mention Ye Saining, who is known as the "great pastoral poet".
I think the reasons for Ye Saining's suicide are complicated, besides the worries mentioned above, there are also * * * reasons.
Ye Saining's suicide is the most magnificent, bizarre and dramatic among the suicides of poets in the 20th century. Gorky thinks that Ye Saining's "relationship with the old woman Duncan is a fatal romantic history", which is beyond doubt, but this is not all, because after the poet and Duncan, there are two beautiful girls around him and walked into his life. Maybe the relationship between these three women and him led to his suicide everywhere.
(Duncan)
(2) Love with Duncan's brother and sister
In fact, Acedo La Duncan, a famous American dancer who made historic changes in the dance world, is not an old woman. At that time, she was only 43 years old, full of innocence and enthusiasm of a girl. A person who distorts life and art is always young.
On a winter night in 192 1, they met, got together and started their love journey.
That night, the Moscow Grand Theatre was in full bloom in midsummer and the scene was warm. On the stage, Duncan, wearing a red shirt, red shoes and red hat, was spinning like fire with the accompaniment of Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony. Strength, beauty, youth! Summer blooms on her figure and toes, dazzling the audience. No stage is full of passion, summer is unfolding ... The hearts of the audience have entered the summer, and applause broke out from time to time. At this time, the heart of a young audience was particularly excited, and there was a fire in his blue eyes, which were usually blue.
"This is the poet Ye Saining." After the performance, the young audience was introduced to Duncan.
Later, the two men shook hands tightly, hugged tightly and kissed tightly. Since then, dance and poetry have held a world romance; Dance and poetry embrace a fascinating story; Dance and poetry kiss, it's amazing!
The collision of heart and heart, the exchange of love and love have produced the flame of love, and winter is no longer cold.
At that time, although Duncan was 17 years older than Ye Saining, their hearts were as young as ever, because art and poetry were always young. Although Duncan doesn't know Russian and Ye Saining doesn't know English, there is no language for them to talk directly. However, the eyes of lovers can be said that the windows of their hearts are open to each other. They intuitively know that each other needs themselves.
The combination of poetry and dance is romantic. Romantic poets and romantic dancers began to live and travel together, leaving footprints in this beautiful land of Russia. But they feel that Russia can't carry their love. They are going to travel to Europe and America, to travel or create. At the beginning of going abroad, Duncan's flower of dance art was in full bloom, and so was Ye Saining's flower of poetry art; But after a long time, the latter withered, leaving only the former outshine others.
This is because the art of dance has no national boundaries, while the art of poetry has national boundaries. There is no natural blooming of national boundaries, and there is natural withering of national boundaries. The combination of Duncan and Ye Saining is the combination of dance and poetry. When one of them dies, love naturally ends in the noise. This is not who abandons who, but two wishes. It is willing to come together and willing to leave!
(3) The beautiful girl Benislavskaya brought her into her own life.
After Ye Saining and Duncan broke up, he began to miss his hometown and beautiful Russian countryside. He remembered the days with Duncan and all kinds of things abroad. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. The more he thought about it, the more disappointed he became, and the melancholy returned to his heart. He wrote painfully in a poem:
I look for happiness in this woman,
Only to find death unexpectedly.
1in the autumn of 923, Ye Saining returned to Moscow and his hometown. However, what he didn't expect was that Benislavskaya, a beautiful girl who spoke the same language, accepted him. Before the poet met Duncan, Benislavskaya quietly fell in love with him, as melancholy as he was. However, at that time, whenever Ye Saining's poetry recital was held, she would always be there and always bought the same seat number: Row 4 16. She feels that her love should always be in one place and never want to move away. Since I met the poet on a day full of roses, she has fallen in love with him deeply. In the memory of that time, the sky was so clear, the love stories under the birch trees filled the bright moon, and the laughter chasing on the forest path was as cheerful as a fountain. ...
(Benislavskaya)
However, just as she was immersed in the warmth and sweetness of love, the great dancer who swept Europe appeared on the stage of the Russian National Grand Theatre. She took the poet away, so she called, expected and waited for the poet's return with regret and pain.
After a long wait, the poet bid farewell to the hot summer and dancer Duncan, and went to her "No.4 Row 16". In Benislavskaya's view, the recovered love should be cherished. Soon, she fell into the poet's arms. Suddenly, her love for the poet was radiant and overwhelming. Naturally, she lived together and began to share the same bed. Life was very sweet. From then on, she insisted on sitting in the fourth row 16. She was not only a faithful and capable companion in the poet's life, but also a secretary and assistant in the poet's literary affairs.
Ye Saining felt the tenderness of the moonlight and the sweetness of the rose fragrance in her body. At that time, poetry broke out and continued. In order to thank the virtuous woman who gave her youth, he wrote in a poem:
Even if I fall in love with another woman,
I will always mention you to her;
Tell her you're a lovely person,
At any time, I also call you "dear".
A crush on the girl Sophia.
Perhaps in Benislavskaya's expectation, perhaps outside her, "even if" finally became a reality. It was the spring of 1925, and Benislavskaya held a family reunion at home. A talented and attractive girl, Sophia Andrev, came like the goddess of spring.
She is lev tolstoy's granddaughter. At this party, many flowers were planted in the poet's heart, which fascinated his heart and eyes. The poet was ecstatic and burst into tears. He thinks she is too much like the ideal goddess he has always worshipped in his heart, and he is willing to give her everything to dominate.
(5) Hanging in the hotel
Suddenly, autumn came. In this harvest season, Ye Saining got a new love, and the poet married Sophia. However, something unexpected happened. On February 28th, 1925+65438, Ye Saining ended his life with a rope in a hotel. This year, he just turned 30. Before he died, he bit his finger and wrote an eight-line "desperate poem" with blood.
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye,
Dear, you are in my heart.
Today we decided to break up,
That's because we have an appointment to meet.
Goodbye, friend, no shaking hands, no talking,
There is no need to write sadness and sorrow in your brow.
In this life, death is nothing new,
Of course, it is even harder to be alive.
Ye Saining has gone, gone forever, and gone to another world, but the story related to him is not over. A year later, Benislavskaya, with a sad face and a trance, walked alone in the snow and came to the tile Gankov cemetery on the outskirts of Moscow. She knelt at the poet's grave for a long time, tears streaming down her face and sobbing. At this time, the sun is bleak, the sky is dark and the wind is bleak. She closed her eyes and pointed a pistol at her forehead. Without much thought or hesitation, her right hand pulled the trigger and instantly fell into a pool of deep red blood. Her blood condensed into the most beautiful rose in the world.
Strangely, in a short time, in a foreign country, on a busy street, Duncan, a dancer who mourned for the poet's suicide day and night, was insane and his eyes were full of fantasies. The scarf around her neck was caught in the wheel of the car she was driving, and bad luck took her life. Before her death, she said that the days when she fell in love with Ye Saining were more precious than the sum of other years in her life.
The poet committed suicide, and two women who loved him and loved him died with him. This seems to be the call of the past and the arrangement of God ... This is the only isolated case in the history of suicide of poets in the world.
