I am a cloud in the sky, which occasionally projects into your heart-you don't have to be surprised, let alone happy-and disappears in an instant. You and I met in the dark sea, you have yours, I have mine, direction; You might as well remember, but you'd better forget the light released at this meeting!

This short poem with two paragraphs and ten lines is unique in modern poetry. In the history of poetry, a thousand long poems can be buried by the ruthless historical precipitation with the passage of time, while some exquisite short poems can transcend history and shine alone. Xu Zhimo, who impressed readers strongly as a "romantic poet".
The symbolic meaning of this poem (both a general symbol and a local image symbol) may be particularly noteworthy. "Accidental" is a completely abstract adverb of time, and what to write under this heading should be said to be free and arbitrary. However, under this abstract title, the author wrote two practical things. One is the wave center that clouds in the sky occasionally project into the water.
Second, if "you" and "I" (both symbolic images) meet at sea, if you use quite practical words such as "you and me" and "meet" as the title, the tension between abstraction and concreteness.
Naturally, it is gone. Xu Zhimo can visualize such an abstract adverb of time as "accident" and put it into a symbolic structure, which is full of interest and philosophy. Not only beautiful, catchy, but also memorable.
