Text/Emily Dickinson, translated/Jiang Feng
I was in love.
I can prove it to you.
Until I began to love
I have never lived a full life.
I will love you forever.
I can also show you.
Love is life.
Life has immortal characteristics.
If, dear,
I'm also skeptical about this.
I can't prove it.
Besides, the skull.
About the poet: Emily Dickinson (1830- 1886) was an outstanding American poetess at the end of 19. She is as famous as Poe and Whitman, and is called "the most important American poetess". Emily Dickinson's poems were not widely published before her death, but became famous after her death because her sister published poems for her. Her poems mainly describe daily life, but often contain philosophy. The main themes of her poems are death, love and nature.
Appreciation of Poetry: The poet directly and frankly expressed her pursuit of love in this poem, which is a burning desire and pursuit. This poem has a warm tone and the theme of the whole poem is "love". At the beginning of the poem, she wrote "I was in love" directly, and "love" runs through the end of the poem.
Although the poet has never been married in his life, nor has he docked his boat chasing love to the right shore, is the purpose so important for a person who has been chasing courtship all his life? As Stendhal's epitaph says, "I have lived, loved and written". As long as there is a process, that's enough!
In the process of pursuing love, there is always a time of discouragement. At this time, think about Dickinson's answer "I have always loved". As long as we always love with a heart of pursuit, then life will have "immortal characteristics", and then we will eventually usher in success.
