Original poem:
Sometimes it will curl up like a small snake,
Snuggle up in your heart and cast a spell,
Sometimes on the white windowsill
Like a little pigeon cooing all day.
Sometimes in the glittering and translucent frost,
Sometimes I sink into violet dreams. ...
But it is accurate and mysterious.
From joy, from peace
In the melancholy piano sound of prayer,
It is good at crying sweetly,
Sometimes it will suddenly make people flustered;
Recognize it in a weird smile.
(translated by Ulan Khan)
Like all girls, Akhmatova's girlhood was romantic and affectionate. What's more, she is so poetic, full of talent and fantasy. 1903, she met gumilyov in Huangcun. The latter was already a famous poet, and she was still a middle school student. Next, six years of love. At the same time, gumilyov committed suicide several times out of love for her, and once had a duel with others. Fortunately, there is something wrong with that man's gun. It is not so much that she is always wavering about the relationship between them as that she is so obsessed with the mysterious and beautiful love in her heart that everything in reality always makes her uneasy. When they got married, Akhmatova also realized: "His passion has run out." This poem "Love" is the masterpiece of Akhmatova's early poems, which can reflect her spiritual track.
The opening of the poem shows the magical charm of love with strange imagination and novel metaphor, and reveals the secret and subtle first love experience of the lyric hero. what is love ? It not only makes people afraid and nervous, but also has the temptation of guilt, and it also makes you feel the happiness and sweetness of the magical changes when the youthful desires sprout. You can't tell whether it's the call of love outside the window or the anxiety inside. In the second paragraph of the poem, writing love by analogy sometimes flashes into the heart, but if something is gained, it is melancholy in retrospect; Sometimes it will turn into a beautiful dream, which makes you think slowly in peace and joy ... In the third section, the poet shows simplicity and solemnity after describing his first experience of love, and shows his burning and urgent desire for truly noble love through words such as "prayer", "crying", "palpitation" and "strangeness". It should be noted here that although this is the poet's early poetry, its poetic language is very expressive. Although extremely restrained, it gives people rich imagination and makes people think twice.
