1. "If Life Deceived You"
Alexander Pushkin, a great Russian poet and novelist, is historically known as the "Father of Russian Literature." He is considered the creator of the Russian literary language and the founder of New Russian literature. He was born into an aristocratic landowning family. He was inclined towards revolution throughout his life and fought unrelentingly against the dark tyranny. His thoughts and poems aroused the dissatisfaction and hatred of the rulers of Tsarist Russia. He was exiled twice and refused to give in. Finally, he was under the leadership of the Tsarist government. He died in a duel under the conspiracy and planning. He was only 38 years old.
Pushkin had a huge creative genius. He began writing poetry at the age of 8 and wrote nearly 900 lyric poems in his life. His poems are full, beautiful, complete, well-proportioned, exquisite, true and simple, sonorous and powerful, with bright elegiac melancholy, melodic beauty and strong artistic charm. Belinsky, a Russian literary theory critic, praised Pushkin's poetry: "The beauty of the tone and the power of language are astonishing; it is as soft and graceful as the chatter of sea waves, as mellow as rosin, and as lightning As bright as crystal, as clear and quiet as crystal, as fragrant as spring, as sonorous and powerful as the sword strike in the hands of a warrior."
"If Life Deceived You" was written when Pushkin was exiled by the Tsar. . At that time, the Russian Revolution was in full swing, but the poet was forced to isolate himself from the world. In such a situation, the poet still did not lose hope and fighting spirit. He loved life, pursued his ideals persistently, and believed that light will come and justice will prevail. The poem illustrates such a positive and optimistic attitude towards life: when life deceives you, don’t be sad or impatient; be patient when you are in distress, everything will pass, and the future will be happy and beautiful; it is impossible to live without Pain and sadness, joy will not always be covered by sadness, happy days will eventually come. The poet further expressed the positive attitude towards life that always looks towards the future, and told people that when you look back on the past after overcoming the hardships, everything in the past will become better. This is a summary of the poet's life experience and the true meaning of life.
This poem has no image at all. The eight short sentences are all in a tone of admonishment. Normally, this is something that should be avoided in poetry creation, but this poem has achieved great success by reasoning. success. The reason is that the poet writes in an equal and eloquent tone, with an intimate and gentle tone, sincere and frank, as if the poet is talking to you; the poems are fresh and smooth, warm and deep, with rich human touch and philosophical meaning, from which people can feel the poet Sincerity, broad sentiments and strong and optimistic thoughts and emotions.
After this poem came out, many people wrote it down in their notebooks and became a motto to inspire them to move forward.
2. "The Road Not Taken"
Speaking of roads, people naturally think of the road of life. This poem is about the road of life.
Many poets and writers at home and abroad, both ancient and modern, have wonderful descriptions of "road". Qu Yuan said, "The road is long and long, and I will search for it up and down." Yan Shu, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, said, "I go up to a tall building alone and see the road to the end of the world." Lu Xun also said, "In fact, there is no road in the world. If there are more people walking, it will be easier." It became a road." People often compare a person's life to walking a path, and the choice of life to the choice of the right path. The poem "The Road Not Taken" by the American poet Frost has a special meaning. It expresses his thoughts on the road of life by writing about the road in nature.
The poem is divided into four stanzas. In the first stanza, the poet stood at a crossroads in the forest, hesitating for a long time. He yearned for both roads, but he could not take both at the same time, he had to choose one; and once Once you choose one, there is no chance of looking back. This is so helpless and helpless. Such a beginning naturally reminds people of the road of life: the natural road can be turned back, which is just a waste of time, but the road of life is like an arrow that cannot be taken back because time will not go back. So the poet looked at the path disappearing deep into the jungle and fell into deep thought. During this process of contemplation, he may have made a decision in his mind. In the second stanza, the poet chooses one of the roads. This road is "vegetated, very lonely, / appears more attractive and beautiful", "but leaves few footprints of travelers". The poet chooses a road Take the road less traveled, instead of choosing the road that leaves many travellers’ footprints like most people do. The poet may know that the road with many footprints is dull and unchallenging. In the third stanza, the poet embarks on the path of his choice and begins a difficult journey. But at this time, the poet was also very nostalgic for the other road. He knew that he could only choose one road, but he could not give up the other road, because although he made the choice, he still hesitated in his heart, in case the choice this time was A mistake will be "difficult to go back to". The poet here writes about a psychology that ordinary people have. In the last stanza, the poet thinks about the past in the future: in a small forest, he chose one of the roads and decided the path of his life from then on. Here, the poet did not write along the poetic lines of the third stanza, and did not tell the readers the outcome of the path he chose. Instead, he wrote about the path not chosen, leaving room for imagination for the readers to experience it themselves. Yes, the path of life, who could have predicted the outcome? The poet obviously has a sense of fate, with a hint of melancholy. But writing this way seems closer to the original state of life and can touch the readers' hearts better.
Although the poet writes about the chosen road, the focus is on the road not chosen. The title also indicates this. Since it is a choice, why should the focus be on not choosing? In fact, not choosing is also choosing. It is precisely the dissatisfaction and regret of many people's choices in life that creates even more nostalgia for the choices they did not make. Therefore, the poet in this poem is obsessed with the road not chosen, not the road chosen. This is also a true portrayal of life. Written this way it adds a melancholic mood to the poem.
The poet extracts poetry from daily life, writes in a simple and natural way, without elaboration, and is rich in philosophy, which is thought-provoking after reading
