Appreciation of the English poem Stella's Birthday

Jonathan swift was a writer and political critic during the English Enlightenment, and he was famous for Gulliver's Travels and The Story of a Bucket. He was once called "one of the creators of world literature". The style of the work is satirical humor and critical realism.

? Love always blinds people. The lover in your eyes may have gone from youth to Cang Sang, so will you still love her as you did at the beginning?

Swift wrote seven birthday poems for Stella, and the following one is the first one. Enjoy it together.

? Stella was thirty-four years old this day,

? (We won't argue for a year or more:)

? But don't worry, Stella,

Although your size and age have doubled,

Ever since I first met you when I was sixteen,

The brightest virgin on the green;

Your figure is so small;

So much in your mind.

? Oh, will God be happy that we are apart?

Your beauty, size, age, and wisdom;

No era can provide a pair.

? The goddess is so elegant, smart and beautiful;

Half the luster of your eyes,

? Only half your wisdom, age and size.

? Then, before it gets too late,

? How can I beg for a gentle fate,

A fairy may have her lover.

Split my worship in two.

Stella is thirty-four years old today

What's wrong with 5678?

There is no pain in the back of your head.

? Make your body spend twice as much time?

? I first met you at 16 years old.

Is the morning light in the field?

? Put your hands on your waist.

Beauty is full of dreams.

Oh, the gods only want to

Only half your age, beautiful and interesting.

Time cannot bear two goddesses.

Equally elegant, dignified and beautiful.

Half have your clear eyes.

Half as mature as you?

? Before it's too late

How can I beg for fragile fate?

? If the goddess is also a lover,

Let crazy and broken share?

There are countless poems about love at home and abroad, but the poem "Stella's Birthday" by the English poet jonathan swift (1667- 1745) gives me a different feeling.

? Without Shakespeare's sonnets 18 "Can I compare them to summer?" There is no passionate and romantic confession like robert burns, and there is no oath like him. "Oh, my love is like a red rose ... I will love them forever, dear, as long as the sand of life is still flowing. Nor did elizabeth browning express her sincere and warm feelings for her husband robert browning in her 43rd sonnet How I Love You? Let me count it carefully. I love you to the deepest, widest and highest.

? This poem is plain and humorous. The poet expressed his feelings for his beloved Stella. Although her beauty and figure will change with the passage of time, Stella in the poet's eyes is as beautiful and intelligent as when she was sixteen.

There is a certain age gap between the heroine Stella and the poet jonathan swift. Stella was a child when Swift first met her. Swift trained and educated her like a teacher, and then gradually fell in love with Stella, just like Bernard Shaw's drama Pygmalion's love across the age gap.

Swift is known as the master of satirical literature, and his writing style can also be seen from this poem. I also hope that true love will not be bound by years and I don't know what it is. I hope that people who love each other will always be the best in each other's eyes.
