I like the light reflected from the window,
It is straight, slender and shallow.
Today, I have been silent since early in the morning.
The heart is divided into two halves.
Akhmatova's poems seem to be handy, capturing things around her to express her inner feelings, and everything is natural. She seldom says directly: I am happy, I am sad, I praise, I am miserable and so on. Instead, we use things to open the topic and express our feelings with scenery. In her works, nature is a talking elf and the hero's closest friend. The allegorical scenery in Akhmatova includes rose (роза), willow (ива), atriplex (лебеда) and dandelion (а). Akhmatova is good at describing all aspects of human feelings. In her works, there are girls who first fell in love, lovers who fell in love, frustrated people who were abandoned by love, and many philosophies about life. For example:
When passion becomes hot,
Curse and scold each other violently,
We don't know it yet,
How small the world is for both sides.
what is love ? Since ancient times, literati have praised it with masterpieces or short poems. However, the most vivid and emotional poem is Akhmatova's poem "Love":
Sometimes it's like a little snake curled up.
Transform magic in people's hearts,
Sometimes like meek young pigeons.
Muttering on the windowsill all day,
Sometimes it's like a sudden flash on a crystal frost flower,
It's like sleeping in a violet dream
This poem summarizes love from three aspects: beauty in form, beauty in sound and beauty in meaning. It has both imagery and interest, which can be described as ingenuity. Akhmatova's early poetic creation shows her poetic talent. She is good at describing the most exciting and nervous moments with drama and film features. The seemingly simple dialogue is the most touching, and every sentence of the hero and heroine is very comic. It can be said that this is a small plot with no beginning and no end, and it is a dynamic and open structure. Although it is poetry, it does have novel and drama creation techniques. All landscape words are sentimental words. As the saying goes, "Petals flow like tears, and lonely birds sing their sadness". The whole nature makes a sound, and everything is to express the same meaning. This is the difference between "single voice" in poetry and "multi-voice" in novels. Akhmatova's early poems laid a solid foundation for her to win the world reputation. Twilight and The Book of Roses reveal the subtle and complicated psychology of women in love with superb poetic art, but their basic theme is the broken dream of the prince, which praises a universal imperfect beauty in the world. Her only son was arrested and imprisoned three times because of his parents, and spent more than twenty years in prison. As a mother, Akhmatova recorded her unusual history of blood and tears as a poem "Requiem" (реквием), which is a long lyric poem composed of 14 short poems to mourn the revolutionaries in the 1930s.
The river was cut off,
But the prison door is closed,
"slave's cave"
And the anxiety about death is hidden behind the door.
For whom does the breeze blow,
Who is the gentle sunset for?
The narrator of this poem is a lonely woman who is inseparable. Her husband is in the grave and her son is in prison. Who do you want to talk to when you are full of sadness? She is a witness to the tragedy of the times;
I know how faces fade,
A timid look under your eyelids?
How suffering transforms rough cuneiform characters.
Page after page, full of cheeks,
A strand of black curls,
How to turn silver in an instant,
How the smile on humble lips withers,
Fear trembled in a dry laugh.
The poet is willing to shoulder the historical mission and open his extremely painful mouth to shout for hundreds of millions of people.
I don't just pray for myself,
But for all the people standing with me,
No matter the cold winter or the heat wave in July.
I jumped under the blind red wall.
This requiem is the pinnacle of Akhmatova's poetry creation, which combines profound thoughts, rich feelings and perfect artistic forms and constitutes an immortal chapter.
