"To the Oak" and Appreciation
If I love you——
I will never be like a climbing flower, showing off myself on your high branches;
If I love you——
I will never imitate the infatuated bird, repeating a monotonous song for the shade of green;
It is not just like a spring, bringing coolness all year round. Comfort;
It is not just like a dangerous peak, it increases your height and sets off your majesty.
Even sunlight. Even spring rain.
No, these are not enough!
I must be a kapok tree near you,
standing with you as the image of a tree.
The roots are clenched in the ground, and the leaves are touching in the clouds.
Every time the wind passed by, we greeted each other,
But no one understood our words.
You have your copper branches and iron trunks, like knives, swords, and halberds;
I have my red flowers, like heavy sighs and heroic ones. torch.
We share the cold waves, wind and thunder, and thunderbolts,
We enjoy the mist, mist, and hauni;
It seems like we are separated forever, but we are dependent on each other for life. .
This is great love, and steadfastness is here:
Love——
Not only love your stalwart body,
I also love the position you insist on and the land you step on.
Appreciation:
Shu Ting's poems are novel in conception and rich in lyrical color; their language is exquisite and they have a distinctive personal style. "To the Oak Tree" is a beautiful and profound lyric poem by her. The love it expresses is not only pure and hot, but also noble and great. It is like an ancient but fresh song that touches people's heartstrings.
Shu Ting's "To the Oak" forms a dualistic artistic structure with the negative view of love and the description of the ideal love pursued. In the contrast between the negative view of love and the yearning for love realm, It highlights a kind of steadfast love and expresses the poet's pursuit of ideal love; the whole poem is mainly composed of two images of oak and kapok, which simultaneously express the poet's independent and equal love and personality ideals; and the poet uses love as a carrier , expresses the poet's challenge to men's right to speak in society, and embodies the poet's pursuit of independent female personality.
