After the uprising, the poet Ye Zhi, who was still alone in his fifties, wrote 19 16 Easter. Everything has changed, completely changed: a terrible beauty was born. The poet has a strong ambivalence about the cause he is fighting for. All kinds of confusion and pain pushed him to the edge of out of control, and also made his life enter a watershed. He wandered in the boundless fog, looking for his own spiritual world. ...
It can be said that Ye Zhi's life and all his immortal poems are inseparable from two themes: Maud Okada and the Irish.
Ye Zhi, 23, fell in love with Maud Okada at first sight. "She stood at the window with a lot of apple blossoms beside her; She is dazzling, like a petal full of sunshine. " Ye Zhi said that my troubles in life began, just like Xu Zhimo's motto "Fortunately, I lost my life". Although Maud Okada was born in a rich family, he abandoned everything and ran for Irish independence. This sacred aura and her charming temperament make Ye Zhi deeply involved in it. Of course, although Ye Zhi was young at this time, he had already made his mark with extraordinary talents, and his poems were also affirmed and appreciated by Mao Degang.
When You Are Old, a song dedicated by Ye Zhi to Modegang, was translated by Zhao Zhao and covered by Karen Mok, and became popular all over the country. Affectionate, gentle, lingering, slowly pour out the enthusiasm in your heart. We never doubted that Ye Zhi was a master of love poems, but his understanding of love was never profound. He eagerly proposed to Mao Degang, but was rejected on the spot. He may not understand that when he spoke, he was already lost in this relationship. But he didn't realize this. Instead of letting go, he intensified his waiting and infatuation, which also made his life's feelings slightly tragic. Maybe love is blind, and Zhang Ailing also said, you ask me if it is worth loving you. In fact, you should know that love is not worth asking.
Ye Zhi's second proposal was also rejected. After Maud Okada's husband was killed in the 19 16 uprising, Ye Zhi in his fifties proposed for the third time. Although it was nearly 30 years ago, it was rejected. Desperate, Ye Zhi turned to propose to Maud Okada's daughter. I really love me, love my dog, but I was also rejected. Maud Okada also told Ye Zhi that the world would thank her for not marrying him.
Modern peaceful environment is like fertile soil in spring, and gossip is the most vital plant. An infatuated poet like Ye Zhi, whose ups and downs are embarrassing, is more likely to be recited in the entertainment era, but Ye Zhi's poems are more than just love. Auden, an English poet, once mourned Ye Zhi: Crazy Ireland stabbed you into a poem.
The first time I read Ye Zhi's Chinese translation, I may feel a little ordinary, and even some sentences are boring. However, after reading a lot of historical materials and ancient fairy tales, and knowing about Ye Zhi's personal life experience and his times, you will find that the emotions that the poet wants to express are skillfully integrated in his poems, especially in line with the impeccable rhythm in the original poems, and each one is perfect.
When Ye Zhi lived in Ireland as a child, he was exposed to many myths and legends. The beautiful island scenery nourishes the soul of the future poet, making many of his poems cling to these stories and places, and even affecting his belief in mysticism and spiritualism in his old age. He also has a strong Irish national complex, has been fighting for Ireland's freedom and independence, and once became a leader and representative, so his poems have a strong influence. He once doubted whether he caused the killing. All these have intensified his self-thinking. Man creates arguments in quarrels with others, and he creates poems in quarrels with himself.
Ye Zhi said, my poem is a weapon, and it will take 50 years for the poet's weapon to exert its power. Fifty years later, Ireland elected its first female president, and the whole country is marching towards the ideal world described by Ye Zhi.
1939, the frail poet who was over the age of ancient times seemed to have felt that his time was coming, and his will became a poem. The last sentence was fixed as his epitaph: a cold glance, life and death, riding, moving forward (cast a cold glance, talk about life, talk about death; ; Knight, passerby). Since then, at the foot of Benbulbin Mountain, poets have always accompanied each other, and the green water has continued.
"Easy to live, such as a grass dam; Love calmly, like a leaf growing branches. " Ye Zhi's poetic philosophy, such as wine fermentation, lasted for a long time in Mika. People are overstaffed, or they take arms, or they are entrusted with heavy responsibilities. Between pitching and pitching, they have disappeared. Reality and life can be calmly dealt with. If love awakens that blind and hazy heart, we might as well torture life with poetry.
Finally, I hope that the endless torture of ideals and love can be turned into articles, so that you can live in a poetic time, live anywhere and rest at any time.
Reward is the driving force of progress, and comment is the source of progress.
