First, the original:
The birds flew without a trace, leaving the lonely clouds free and unfettered. You look at me, I look at you, and there are only my eyes and Jingting Mountain's eyes. -Tang Li Bai's Sitting Alone in Jingting Mountain
Second, appreciation:
"Birds fly high, and lonely clouds go to leisure alone", which seems to write down the scene before us. In fact, the feeling of loneliness is written, and several birds in the sky flew away until they disappeared without a trace; There is still a white cloud in the vast sky, but I don't want to stay and drift away slowly, as if everything in the world is rejecting poets.
After the birds flew away, only the poet and Jingting Mountain were left quietly. The poet stared at the beautiful Jingting Mountain, and Jingting Mountain seemed to be looking at the poet motionless.
This made the poet very emotional. Maybe this is the only person in the world who wants to accompany me. "Never tire of looking at each other" expresses the deep feelings between the poet and Jingting Mountain. "Xiang" and "Liang" are synonymous, which closely connects the poet with Jingting Mountain and shows strong feelings. The word "only" in the conclusion is also tempered, which highlights the poet's love for Jingting Mountain.
"It is enough to have a bosom friend in life", and it is not worth mentioning that birds fly away! The artistic conception created by these two poems is still "quiet". On the surface, it is written that the poet looks at Jingting Mountain with deep affection. In fact, the more poets write about the "sentimentality" of mountains, the more they show people's "ruthlessness"; And his lonely and desolate situation is revealed in this quiet scene.

Li Bai has been wandering for a long time since he was released from the Hanlin ten years ago. The long-term wandering life made Li Bai taste the bitterness of the world and see through the coldness of the world, thus deepening his dissatisfaction with reality and increasing his sense of loneliness. However, his arrogance and stubbornness remain the same as before. I have been depressed because I have no talent.
