1829
Tong Daoming’s interpretation:
This is the poet’s recollection of his first trip to Georgia in 1820. Readers generally understand it as a love poem. Focusing on the last two lines of the poem, "My heart is ignited with love again - just because / my heart can't help but fall in love with you", emphasizing that the "heart" can't help but love comes from the heart.
A Russian scholar wrote an article titled "Pushkin and Zen". He used the poem "Night Fog Shrouds the Georgian Hills" to support his point of view: Pushkin also has Eastern Zen. "My sadness shines with pure light" is a characteristic of Pushkin's mood. What I would like to add is that Pushkin’s “sadness” also contains feelings of family and country.
According to Gogol's recollection, when Pushkin finished reading the end of his novel "Dead Souls", "he said in a sad tone: 'Ah, how sad our Russia is!'"
