1 node gives the main idea of the whole poem. Farewell to Cambridge this time is not a farewell to my alma mater, nor a farewell to my friends. It aims to "bid farewell to the clouds in the western world". I used three words "tenderness" repeatedly, chanting that I was alone and quietly came to Cambridge, trying to bid farewell to "clouds in the western sky" quietly. "Cloud" is beautiful and ethereal. What did the poet say quietly when he left Cambridge, but he could only confide in Clouds in the West alone? The beginning of this poem brings us into an illusory realm.
The second section, write the reflection of willow. In the gorgeous dusk of April and May, the afterglow of the sunset gilded the weeping willows on the banks of the He Kang River, and the graceful wicker swayed gently with the gentle wind, just like a delicate bride. The beautiful beautiful image is reflected in the sparkling waves, and the beautiful image in this wave ripples in the water and in the poet's heart.
This section is about the poet's fond memories of the past. In words and poems, the poet's sweet attachment and infinite love are permeated. What kind of emotion is this? The poet didn't tell the reader clearly. But judging from the words "Golden Willow", "Bride" and "Yan Ying", it must be a very beautiful memory, perhaps more or less related to women.
The third section is about the aquatic plants in He Kanghe River. Green and vibrant aquatic plants are scattered on the delicate and smooth soft mud of Hekang River. They sway underwater with clear water waves, meaning "carefree". Green water plants are swaying freely in the clear water bottom, squeaking and laughing happily, like innocent and lively elves! In this fairyland-like place, the poet's heart serves the material, and I have forgotten both. I would rather be an aquatic plant in the clear waves of Hekang River. Through the word "blooming flowers", the author humanized the aquatic plants and vividly wrote the poet's ideal freedom, and the word "willing" also wrote the poet's yearning for this kind of life.
Section 4, write clear pool under the shade of elm tree, namely Byron pool. In the upper reaches of Hekang River, the river twists and turns, and there is the famous Byron Lake. It is said that Byron, a famous English poet, once played there, and poets often came here when they were studying in Cambridge. In this poem, the poet completely transcends the reality and enters the dreamland: the pool covered with shade is not a pure colorless spring, but a colorful rainbow in the sky; Unfortunately, it is "trapped in floating algae", and this "rainbow" is the "dream" that "precipitates" in the poet's mind. This "dream" is like a "rainbow", which is beautiful; But it is very "crushed" and very sad.
Pay attention to the word "precipitation" when reading this poem. "Precipitation" means that this is the past, accumulated in the deepest part of the soul, and "rainbow-like dream" is a secret hidden in the poet's heart for a long time. After reading this, we finally understand that bidding farewell to Cambridge is the "singing" of the poet's soul and the "exposure" of the poet's "privacy". What is the poet's "privacy"? Is the beautiful ideal shattered, or is the gorgeous love in vain?
The fifth part is about boating on the He Kang River. He Kanghe is very beautiful. When the sun sets, driving a boat, supporting a long pole, crossing the shade of weeping willows and elms, and cutting rainbows in the water, the boat will slowly trace back to greener grass. What kind of magical dreamland is "greener grass"? Why are poets so fascinated? The poet didn't make it clear. Let's expand our imagination and enjoy it with the poet. When I came back at night, there were stars in the sky, sparks in the water and even stars on the boat. The waves and starlight complement each other, and the poet can't help singing In the Starlight.
When reading this poem, we should pay special attention to the word "seeking dreams", which is the eye of this poem and the whole poem. At this moment, the poet's thoughts are also "boating" in the He Kanghe River, in pursuit of a good time spent in He Kang. "Looking back at the greener grass" means looking back at the depths of the soul, and he finally found a rainbow-like "dream" that "precipitated" in the depths of the soul. The poet was "full of stars" in his dreams and memories, and was intoxicated by the "second reincarnation" of the "crushed" dreams. He was immersed in colorful dreams and couldn't help singing.
In the sixth section, the poet lost his mind in "chasing dreams" and even sang aloud, but the poet returned to reality from his dreams and suddenly realized that "I can't sing". Why "no songs"? This is a "dream" precipitated, and this is the privacy accumulated in the depths of the soul. Quiet is a farewell flute. What does the poet want to leave behind? We should leave this shattered dream. Now the poet has "found" his dream, which is sweet. He wants to be alone, sour, and can only be swallowed by himself. This silence is like a "farewell flute". A person quietly meditates and silently tastes the taste of parting. Even the summer insects in the green grass seem to realize this feeling of parting and keep silent for him. Cambridge, which used to be happy and noisy, is also connected with him. Tonight, all is silent, and everything is silent for the "broken dream" left by the poet. "Silence is the Cambridge tonight", silence is better than sound, and the poet's silent farewell is better than the sound of the flute.
Section 7 echoes the beginning. The first section and the second section have the same rhythm and similar meaning, only a few words have been changed, forming a kind of beauty of loop. "Don't take a cloud" echoes the opening "Don't be a cloud in the Western Heaven". What is "cloud"? At the end, we can easily see that "cloud" is the "dream" pursued by the poet. "Don't take away a cloud" or "cloud leaving the western world" means don't take away this dream, but "leave this dream" and pursue his new dream.
