Why should I put a love letter in it?
An empty piece of wood? Why did you put my lips on the tree hole?
Whisper your name?
Spiders spread their webs.
Catch the sun; In the hay at my feet
Ants built a dilapidated city.
Butterflies are paired in the wind; Yellow bees, with leather covers full of food, fly in the blue sky like drunken cowboys.
I feel more and more like myself.
Talk to the sea.
I get along with my footprints alone.
I watched the sea ebb; I was left behind, with miles of shining beaches.
Why don't you talk to me? (translated by Fu Hao)
Boutique appreciation
A Campbell, a famous New Zealand poet, playwright and novelist, was born in Cook Islands, New Zealand. His mother is the daughter of the local indigenous chief, and his father is the descendant of the third generation of European white immigrants. However, when he was seven years old, he lost his parents and was sent to an orphanage in the South Island of New Zealand, where he received an English education. 1943 was admitted to the University of Wattago to study classical literature. Later, because I liked exploring activities, I didn't finish my studies. He also worked as a gardener. After wandering abroad for several years, he returned to the university to get a degree and worked as an editor in a publishing house. He claimed to be deeply influenced by the English poet Ye Zhi and consciously inherited the great tradition of English poetry. However, this is inherently contradictory to the culture of his mixed-race family in New Zealand. 1960, he had a nervous breakdown and received treatment for a period of time. Great changes have taken place in later poems, showing more and more the natural features and cultural connotations of the birthplace, and gaining a high reputation. This love poem is an inquiry, confession and gaze to the lover. In the forced questioning, the deep love was fully displayed.
