Explanation of the poem "Our Fears"

First of all, let me state that I am not good enough for this kind of work, and what I say here are all my personal opinions.

Psychologically speaking, what is scary is not the thing to be afraid of, but the fear itself. The night, owls, coffins, death, etc. that appear in the works all speak of fear. But what scares us? The poet then gives an explanation of fear, which does not rise in wings, does not stop in the church. He is in our reality. From the sentence of wearing warm clothes, carrying rations, and weapons, it can be seen that it is talking about a kind of struggle or war. I looked up the character in quotation marks, Fuchik, who is a famous revolutionary. The danger in the old place of Drauga Street all shows the danger of revolution and the twists and turns of the road.

Related to the end of the work, bury them, not too deep, not too shallow, etc. If comprehensively understood, fear is: worry about friends (Fuchik) and worry about the revolutionary road, these make the poet feel scared!

"Our Fears"

Author: Ziebelgenius Herbert

Not wearing a night shirt

Not lifting the lid of a coffin

Or extinguishing a burning candle

Not even having a The face of the deceased

Our fear

was found in the pocket

A sentence written on a piece of paper

"Reminder Chirk

The old place in Drauga Street is in danger"

Our fears

do not rise from the wings of the hurricane

and landed on the spire of a church

It is in reality

It has

a shape made in haste

Wearing body-heating clothes

Carrying rations

and weapons

Our fear

Not having the face of the dead< /p>

The dead are gentle to us

We carry them on our shoulders

Wrap them under the same blanket

Close their eyes

Set their lips

Dig a dry hole

Bury them

Not too deep
