Appreciation of Classical English Poetry: Funeral Bruce

The following is an appreciation of classic English poetry: funeral blues (funeral blues)

? ? Funeral blues? By who? W.H? Auden (Auden)

Stop all the clocks, cut off the phone,

Stop the dog from barking with a juicy bone,

Quiet the piano, with the deep drums,

Take out the coffin and let the mourners come.

?

Let the plane hover and moan overhead,

Scribbled the information that he was dead in the sky,

Hanging a crepe bow around the public's white neck? Pigeons,

Let the traffic police wear black cotton gloves.

?

He is my east, west, north and south,

My work week and Sunday are off,

My noon, my midnight, my conversation, my song;

I thought love would last forever: I was wrong.

?

There is no need for Atal people now; Put out each one;

Put away the moon and tear down the sun;

Dump the stove and clean the wood;

Because nothing will get better now.

Translation 1:

Stop all the clocks, turn off the phone,

Stuff the dog's barking mouth with juicy bones,

A drum that mutes the piano and accompanies it.

Take out the coffin and let the sad people come.

?

Let the plane hover overhead and mourn.

Spread the news of his death into the sky,

Tie a black tie around the pigeon's neck,

Let the traffic police wear black cotton gloves.

?

He is my east, west, north and south.

My work week and rest days,

My noon, midnight, conversation, songs;

I thought love would last forever: but I was wrong.

?

There is no need for a star at present. Kill every one.

Dismantle the sun and cover the moon;

Sweep the sea and sweep the forest;

Because now everything is no longer beautiful.

Translation 2:

Stop all the clocks and cut off the phone.

Give the dog a juicy bone and tell it not to bark.

Silent piano with deep drums.

Carry out the coffin and let undertaker come.

?

Let the helicopter spin sadly overhead.

He left, he wrote a message in the sky,

Tie the black veil around the white neck of the homing pigeon,

Let the traffic police wear black gloves.

?

He used to be my east, my west, my south and my north.

My working days, rest days,

My noon, my midnight, my words, my songs,

I thought love could be immortal: I was wrong.

?

You don't need more stars, so pick every one.

Wrap the moon, dismantle the sun,

Sweep the sea and sweep the forest;

Because nothing will make sense.

Translation 3:

Stop the watch (in a time trial or activity)

Unplug the phone

Give the dog bones to stop barking.

Silence the piano and cover the drum.

?

Carry out the coffin and let the mourners gather.

Let the plane hover and moan.

Scribbled in the sky: He has passed away.

Tie a black veil around the pigeon's neck.

?

Let the traffic police wear black gloves.

He is my east, west, north and south.

He is my working day, my Sunday.

My noon, my night

?

My words, my songs.

I always thought that love could last forever, but I was wrong.

Now the stars are no longer needed,

Let them out.

?

Put away the moon,

Move the sun,

Sweep the forest,

Drain the ocean,

Because the world is no longer beautiful.
