[Russia-Soviet] Baladinsky
I won't pretend to be sentimental.
I won't hide my indifference.
Yes, the flame of love has gone out,
The fanaticism of first love has been buried in my heart.
Your charming face and that old fantasy,
I painfully remember:
But today's memory is dead,
The old oath is beyond my power.
I'm not infatuated with another beautiful woman,
Please don't be jealous.
How many years have I spent in painful parting,
I found happiness in the storm of life.
Your shadow has faded in my heart,
I seldom call you against my will,
Passionate love gradually cools down,
The fire in my heart has gone out by itself.
I'm alone, and I'm courting,
But I want to abandon love far away,
Never fall in love again,
Only that first love can make us addicted.
When fate completely defeated me,
It is the day when sadness completely disappears;
Maybe, I'll follow the crowd,
Maybe, I will choose a partner I don't love,
I will extend my hand to him at the carefully arranged wedding to express my love.
Standing side by side with her in the church:
She's innocent, maybe loyal and sober,
I will also say to her, "You are mine!"
Once you know, don't be jealous;
We won't reveal each other's secrets,
Or immersed in joy and ecstasy,
We're not married,
It was fate that brought us together.
Farewell, long-distance partner!
I have set foot on a new road, and a new road is waiting for you.
Suppress useless sadness with reason,
Don't argue with me.
Everything is hard to be satisfactory, and there is nothing you and I can do.
When I was young,
We made a hasty vow,
But in the view of omniscient destiny, it may be ridiculous.
(translated by Yu Ying)
Pushkin once said: "Baladinsky's original works attracted people's attention and experts were surprised."
It is amazing to see his maturity and extraordinary skills in his original works ... Baladinsky's original works.
Pin is an elegy, and he is second to none in this kind of works. "The most typical masterpiece of Pushkin's high evaluation is this elegy Confessions.
Elegy is a very popular poetry genre in Russia at the beginning of19th century. It is a kind of lyric poem with sad and touching content, with memories of the past, sighs of unrequited love and sighs of life ... Confession and Parting are both elegiac lyric poems, and the background is the helpless separation of two lovers. Confessions, on the other hand, shed the cold and sad coat of parting and saturated with calm and sober thoughts. The protagonist has a distinct personality, unlike Zhukovsky's poem Hero, who escapes from reality and goes deep into the sad fantasy world, nor does he escape from the noisy city and live in seclusion in the countryside like Bachu Skof's Hero. Baladinsky has no illusions, he is not satisfied with self-deception, and his hero calmly analyzes contradictions: "We should restrain useless sadness with reason." Reading through the whole poem, we can understand that the hero and heroine once loved each other deeply, but "everything is difficult, and you and I can't help it." On the long road of life, they once wrote a passionate symphony hand in hand. However, in the end, they can only sigh the ruthlessness of fate. He "painstakingly remembered" her "charming face and that ancient fantasy", but he didn't lose himself, deeply feeling that "today's memories are lifeless and the old vows are beyond his power". Although they are attached to each other, although they are inseparable, although they are the only love destination in each other's lives. "How many years have I spent in bitter parting", but he "found joy" in the storm of life, which shows his wise choice: since they can't be combined with each other, since the long road of life still requires a person to trudge hard, facing the storm, he did not fear and retreat, but buried the loneliness of "loneliness" and the unbearable pain of lovelorn. But did the fiery fire of love really cool down and stop? No, as the hero said, "Only the first love can make us addicted", that is to say, only the first love is his first and last love, the true love and the eternal love. Yes, love can't be forgotten, but in the face of the person he loves deeply, the hero can casually say "goodbye, long-distance partner!" " "It's not self-deception, it's not that I don't want to have a lover, but" everything is difficult to do, and you and I can't help it. "He really realized the helplessness of reality, so the only choice is this. This sentence is full of helplessness to the world, but also full of calmness and reason. He sincerely encouraged and inspired each other: "I have embarked on a new road, and a new road is waiting for you. I want to restrain useless sadness with reason, and don't argue with me. "This shows the hero's thorough understanding and comprehension of life. The last sentence of the article can better illustrate this point: "In that youthful era, the vows we made in a hurry may be absurd from the point of view of knowing fate. "The reality of life is not the same? Because of love, because of love, the young burning heart has had countless rosy dreams and too many beautiful vows. However, when things change, will all dreams and vows come true? As a result, love words often turn into silly words, vows often turn into lies, and in reluctance. So readers have to admire the reason of the hero in the poet's works. The poet himself once said: "A real poet should have both enthusiasm for creative imagination and calm rationality. "The profound philosophy can be seen between the lines of this poem, which clearly reflects the maturity and depth of the hero's thought and his personality is more distinctive and unique.
Life is full of contradictions, and man himself is the unity of contradictions. In Confessions, the lyric hero faces the test of life without contradiction: he longs for love and calmly realizes that it is impossible. After a hard struggle, the shadow of his lover has faded in his heart, the fiery love has gradually cooled down, and the flame in his heart has stopped. Only then did he have the heart of courtship, but he still clung to the pure and sacred first love-"only that first love can make us addicted", and "abandon love far away and never fall in love with another", and even "echo public opinion". . However, since there is a "heart of courtship", why not forget the first love? Since I long for love, why should I "abandon love and go away"? Since you don't love, why "show love" and say "you are mine"? In the face of a "naive" and "loyal" girl, is the protagonist cynical? No, the hero is extremely ambivalent about love. He loves his lover deeply, but he still has to forget her. He is eager for new love, but he can't forget old love. Moreover, he told each other twice in his poem not to be jealous. Since he can't reunite after years of setbacks, and since fate has made each other weak and indifferent, why should he explain too much? The protagonist is struggling in such diverse contradictions. ...
This lamentation also expresses true feelings. Poets do not seek to describe the details of the picture, but try to write about people's spiritual world and complex inner activities. He described the contradiction between thoughts and feelings incisively and vividly. Sincere feelings deeply touch readers' hearts, arouse their voices and win their sympathy. The old love has long been shattered, but he has never been "infatuated with another beauty" and is not prepared to "fall in love with another", which shows the hero's devotion and singleness to love; From a series of complex psychological contradictions, we see mature love and deep love; Judging from the end of the poem, the hero's encouragement to his lover reflects his helplessness in love! In the poem "Choose a Partner You Don't Love", by describing the protagonist's various attitudes towards that "partner", it shows that he has irreplaceable feelings for the former people, and reveals the helplessness of "it is fate that brings us together because we are not United in marriage". The poet speaks calmly in rational language and is sincere and frank with his old lover. He told each other what he thought and thought truly, without any hypocrisy: the indifference of lovers' shadows, the cooling of love ... were all frankly revealed. The poet, like a violinist, gently touched the readers' heartstrings with the beautiful piano sound. The poet originally advocated: "* * * True feelings push thoughtful thoughts to the first place".
Baladinsky's song Confessions has a unique language charm. It adopts the form of confession, which provides superior convenience for the thorough description of feelings, is a true expression of one's own heart, and is a calm and peaceful talk to an old lover. Language appears natural and harmonious, and it also makes feelings vivid. Poets do not pursue the "sweet voice" of zhukovsky poets and the "Italian soft voice" of Bachu Skof's poems. He pays attention to the dramatic conflicts in his poems and chooses the words that can best express his feelings, making the form free. The language of poetry is natural, popular and clear, giving people a fresh and frank feeling. Philosopher Bacon said: "Implicitness and propriety in conversation are more valuable than eloquence." The language of this poem is naturally appropriate, friendly and easy to understand. The appearance looks dull, but it has internal strength, hiding ups and downs of stories and emotional fluctuations. Moreover, language is philosophical. The reason why a lyric poem is like a philosophical poem lies in its unique use, temptation and image. It can be said that simplicity is profound, and clarity is exquisite.
The mastery of rhyme in this poem also adds artistic charm to the poem. Almost every sentence in the whole poem is placed on "I" (meaning, bottom, memory ...), which helps to express the thoughts and feelings of the poem and makes readers easily infected by the thoughts and feelings of the work. The rhythm of poetry is determined by the ups and downs of thoughts and feelings in poetry. Rhyming like drums strengthens this sense of rhythm, which not only makes the language have cadence and smooth rhythm beauty, but also enriches the thoughts and feelings of poetry.
No wonder Pushkin wrote in a letter to Bechev on June 1824 1 after reading the poem Confessions: "Baladinsky is a genius in poetry, and Confessions is a perfect work. After him, I will never publish my own lamentation again. "
