Miao sai [French]
Remember, when the confused dawn
Opened its charming palace in the sun;
Remember, when meditation night
Quietly pass under its silver veil;
When your heartbeat responds to the call of joy,
When the shadow invites you to sink into the dusk dream,
Listen, deep in the forest.
A voice whispered:
Please remember.
Remember, when all kinds of fate
Forcing me to say goodbye to you forever,
When pain, exile and endless years
Forcing this desperate heart to wither;
Please always remember my sad love and lofty love!
When people love each other, separation and time are not worth mentioning.
As long as my heart is still beating,
It always says to you:
Please remember.
Remember, when in the cold underground
My broken heart sleeps forever;
Remember, when that lonely flower
Slowly open on my grave.
I'll never see you again; But my immortal soul
But I came to you like a loyal sister.
Listen, in the middle of the night,
There is a voice in * * *:
Please remember.
(Translated by Feng Zhongpu from Chen Cheng)
Please remember that it was written by 1842. The theme of this poem is just as Mo Luoya said: "The wonderful game has only one content and one theme-love". That's exactly what happened. In all the poems of the poet, the eternal theme of poetry-love has never changed, whether in the early or late period, although the style of poetry has developed from passionate to sad.
Love occupies a very important position in Miao Sai's life. Before falling in love with george sand, the poet had many experiences, but none of them was as thrilling and unforgettable as his love with george sand, which had such a great influence on his poetry creation.
The title of this poem has made it clear that this poem was written by the poet to "you" in his mind. The lyric hero repeatedly asks for "you" by calling her directly, just to make her remember his sincere, warm and eternal love.
The first section of the poem first describes their emotional experience when they fell in love in the past. The poet's love for her is not only lingering, but also joyful. At that time, whether it was "Uncertain Dawn" or "Meditation Night", the poet was with her. They opened their hearts, read Facing the Sun, opened the "charming palace" at dawn, and waited for the arrival of the day after the "night passed quietly". When the twilight is boundless, as the heavy shadow gradually covers the earth, both of them "sink into the dusk dream", enjoying the warmth of love safely and answering the "call for joy" with fierce heartbeat. How can such love be forgotten? The poet sincerely hopes that "you" can remember all these beautiful and affectionate times.
The second paragraph of the poem is that after breaking up with george sand, the poet is still infatuated with her. Sweetness, gentleness and happiness are the fruits of love. But the fruit of love is not always pure and sweet, and people often have to pay a certain price. It is precisely because of this that "fate" "forces me to say goodbye to you forever". This is almost a fatal blow to the poet. Even so, the poet did not stop offering his sincere love to the people he loved. The lyric hero's obsession with love has reached the point of obsession. In that "painful, exile, endless years", when "forcing this desperate heart to wither", he also wants to "please think about my sad love and the lofty eternal formula"! Because each other's breakup is the result of various fates, and it is by no means out of the subjective desire of the lyric hero. Therefore, no matter whether the love produced in the past is happy or sad, it can't be erased from my heart. On the contrary, "as long as my heart is still beating", not only will the feelings of love not be exhausted, but the poet will also "always say to you:' Please remember'". This passionate love has been deeply buried in each other's hearts. People can say goodbye and flowers can fade, but the tree of love in the poet's heart is evergreen and will never change color because of the passage of time and the breakup of people. This fully shows the lyric hero's inner feelings that love is supreme and sacred. Come together for love, go their separate ways for love, and love dominates everything of the lyric hero. Everything can be changed, but the love that has been paid cannot be changed. It's really sad ...
In the third section, the poet points the emotional strokes to the future time and describes the lack of thinking of the lyric hero after his death. The broken heart due to lovelorn has been "sleeping forever" and slept in the "cold underground". When the "lonely flower" has "bloomed slowly on my grave", love has not yet entered the grave with "my broken heart". This is the moment when love will never change. Although "I will never see you again; But my immortal soul will "come to you like a loyal sister." The firmness of love is often praised by poets, and it is often the goal that men and women in love enthusiastically pursue. But here, we should use the word "till death do us part" to express the lyric hero's persistence and obsession with love. He believes that his soul will not only "not die", but also become an imaginary image to approach his lover. This is really a beautiful fantasy, conveying the passionate and never-ending love fire of the lyric hero. The reason why the soul is immortal is because the poet's love is immortal. Since love is immortal, whether life exists or not, the soul seeking eternal love must be immortal.
This poem was written in Memories of Time Past. Perhaps it was this persistent love that supported the poet's lonely old age. In a large number of poems in the poet's later period, we can see that the poet devoted all his love, avoided writing poems about social and political content, and devoted himself to being a professional poet who lamented the disease of the century. It is the poet's delicate inner feelings that are released in his later poems. He showed his broken heart to readers, and made them deeply feel that despite many troubles, the poet was still persistently pursuing lost love. He is not praying, he just wants to dedicate this heartfelt love to the people he loves forever. How can this persistent and obsessed love not deeply shock the readers' hearts?
This poem has reached a perfect position in both creative style and artistic form. It not only maintains the charm of the poet's early poems: warm and romantic; It also shows the fluency, naturalness, elegance and profundity of the poet's later creation.
This poem is divided into three sections, each with 9 lines. The number of words in each line varies, but it is patchy. All three poems begin and end with "Please remember", which not only receives the artistic effect echoed from beginning to end, but also facilitates repeated singing. The form is neat and perfect, which enhances the artistic appeal. Therefore, Please Remember is one of the famous poems in the poet's later period.
