This is a passionate love poem, written during the poet's first stay in Athens, and it is also a chapter in Byron's famous Travels of Childe Harold. The poet runs through the whole poem with the phrase "You are my life, I love you", and directly and enthusiastically pours out his deep love for Athens girls. This is the voice of love and the oath of love, which makes people strongly infected as soon as they read it. The second and third paragraphs of the poem depict the beautiful charm of the Athenian girl with touching strokes. With the development of poetic lines, the innocent and lively Athenian girls are vividly portrayed on the paper, and the metaphors such as "unrestrained curly hair", "jet-rimmed eyes" and "wild deer-like eyes" are novel and unforgettable.
It is worth noting that the poet's love for Athenian girls is also mixed with his love for Greece as a whole. The poet loves this ancient civilization and has been paying attention to the fate of the Greek people under Turkish rule. 13 years later, he resolutely returned to Greece, actively participated in the Greek national independence movement, and sacrificed his precious life for this.
To Kane Pushkin
To Kane on 1825. 18 19. When Pushkin was 20 years old, she met Kane for the first time at the home of Olenin, Dean of the Art Institute in Petersburg. At that time, she was only 19 years old, but she had become the wife of a 52-year-old general. Pushkin met her in Petersburg. 1824 In August, Pushkin was sent to his hometown of Mikhailovsk village under the escort of the constitutional police, accompanied only by the old nurse. 1In the summer of 825, Kane came across a poet in his hometown. Kane came to San Shancun to visit a relative, who is near the village of Mikhailovsk. Pushkin and Kane walked and chatted together and had a wonderful time for a few days. On the day Kane left San Shancun, Pushkin gave her the second chapter of yevgeni onegin, including this poem, dated "1July, 825 19". Kane later wrote when recalling the scene at that time: "He came early in the morning. As a farewell, he brought me a book, chapter 1 of onegin. In the uncut collection of poems, I found a piece of writing paper folded into four layers, which read' I remember that wonderful moment' and so on. When I was about to put the gift of this poem in the box, he looked at me for a long time, and then suddenly took the poem away and didn't want to give it back to me. I begged for it again. I don't know what he was thinking. " In unexpected joy, the poet wrote this work, which is known as "an outstanding model of love poetry".
The poem To Kane is a classic love poem and the most beautiful one written by Pushkin. Pushkin's love is lucky. Kane gave Pushkin two beautiful moments, but she won eternity because of Pushkin's poems. On the manuscript, Pushkin also drew a sketch of Kane's head next to the poem. Kane's image, gentle voice and beautiful image like a fairy are permanently fixed in Pushkin's poems. "To Kane" is about the instant feeling of this kind of love and the long aftertaste of it. Love is often love at first sight, which happens suddenly in a moment. Love, which may be hazy, is often clearly realized after it comes into being. Only when a certain machine appears, the floodgate of emotion will suddenly open. The first part of this poem describes the wonderful scene when the poet met Kane in Petersburg. "Phantom" and "spirit" are dazzling and almost dreamy. The second section writes about the long-term memory left by that moment to the poet, the third section writes about the forgetting of love, and the fourth section writes about life without love; The fifth section is about the arrival of another moment, "the mind has begun to awaken", and the sixth section is about the possession of love.
The first four verses of this poem are about the past and the last two are about the present. This structural asymmetry can give readers an ominous premonition: after the second meeting, they will be forgotten and sad. According to Kane's memory and the farewell mission of this poem, we can see that not all poems are full of "ecstasy" of love. Many years later, in the dark life of exile, the poet lost his inspiration, tears and even his life, thinking that the torch had been extinguished. At this time, "you reappear in front of my eyes", and the Kane torch in the depths of the poet's soul still shines with charming brilliance. Poets write about suffering through love, and also love through suffering, so that beautiful poems reveal sadness, and sadness exudes beautiful poems.
The most prominent writing feature of this poem is the use of repeated stacking. The last three sentences in section 1 and section 5, the last two sentences in section 2 and the last two sentences in section 3, the last two sentences in section 4 and the last two sentences in section 6 are almost word for word. In other words, the last two sentences of each section of the whole poem are composed of repetition. The repetition of a poem seems to be the superposition of two wonderful moments, or implies that more memory scenes overlap in the poet's mind; Constant repetition creates a vocal effect of singing and sighing, which not only reflects the deep memory of the present, but also expresses the reluctance to new places; These repetitions are also a contrast. The description of the two moments is the same, but the poems about sound and beauty, inspiration and tears, life and love are opposite, which shows that life with love and life without love are completely different, and life with love and life without love are also completely different.
This poem is a classic of love poems. The poet did not describe the beauty of Kane's appearance, but highlighted the magical spiritual power that her beauty brought to the poet. The poet highly idealizes the image of a woman: "Like a fleeting illusion, like a pure and beautiful elf." She became a beautiful incarnation beyond the world, a source of life and inspiration, and revived the poet's depressed and dry mind. This poem was later composed by the famous composer glinka and became the most famous Russian song. For him, Kane is an extraordinary image. She is as transparent as crystal and as white as snow in the world that poets love.
