I'd rather be a torrent,
This is a river in the mountains.
On the rugged road,
Pass over the rocks ...
As long as my lover
This is a small fish,
In my waves,
Swim around happily.
I'd rather be a barren forest,
On both sides of the river,
For a gust of wind,
fight bravely ...
As long as my lover
It's a bird,
In my dense
The branches are creaking.
I would like to be a ruin,
On the steep rocks,
This silent destruction,
Doesn't make me depressed. ...
As long as my lover
Is the ivy of youth,
Along my desolate forehead,
Intimacy climbed.
I'd rather make a cabin,
At the bottom of the ravine,
On the top of the hut
Be struck by wind and rain ...
As long as my lover
Is a lovely flame,
In my stove,
Blink slowly and happily.
I want to be a cloud,
This is a broken gray flag.
In the vast sky,
Wander around lazily ...
As long as my lover
A coral sunset,
Beside my pale face,
Show a bright luster.
About the author: Petfi Sándor (1823— 1849) is a great revolutionary poet in Hungary and the founder of Hungarian national literature. He came from a poor butcher family and lived a hard life since childhood. He is an actor and a soldier. He was the leader and singer of the Hungarian bourgeois revolution. His life was linked with the struggle of the Hungarian people against foreign aggression and for political freedom. . He began to write poetry at the age of fifteen. In his short and brilliant life, * * * wrote more than 800 lyric poems and 9 long narrative poems. The most famous lyric poems are Song of the Country, My Song, An Idea Puzzles Me, Freedom and Love, I'd like to be a torrent, Hanging the King from the gallows and so on. The most famous narrative poems are Hammer in the Country, The Warrior of Janas (translated as Brave John) and The Apostle. Besides, he also writes novels, plays and political papers. Petofi's poems describe the struggle of contemporary people in the form of folk songs. He once said: "among the Hungarian people, my song is the first lesson for freedom." In the national liberation war led by Kosos from 1848 to 1849, Petofi joined the army of General Bem in 1849+0, fought bravely with the Russian-Austrian coalition forces as the main adjutant of General Bem, and disappeared in the battle of Thursburg on July 3 1 0 of the same year. Most scholars believe that he died in a bloody battle in Thursburg and his body was buried in 1050 hero's tomb.
Creation background: This poem by petofi was written during the love period between the poet and Julia maesa, and it is a poem expressing his love for himself. 1846 In September, 23-year-old Petofi met Sendley Julia, the daughter of Count Naudts, at the dance. The purity and frankness of this slim and beautiful girl with pale blue eyes made the young poet fall in love at first sight, but the earl who owns a lot of land estates refused to marry his daughter to a poor poet like petofi. In the face of resistance, petofi's affection for Julia maesa is still irresistible. In half a year's time, he sent out a series of love poems, such as to Julia maesa, I am a loving person, you love spring, the bleak autumn wind whispered in the forest, and gave me twenty kisses at once. Among them, "I would like to be a torrent", the treasure of these lyric poems, encouraged You Liya to break the shackles of his father and family and enter the marriage hall with Petofi one year later.
Appreciation of works: The Hungarian poet Petofi wrote a series of love poems, among which I would like to be a torrent is a model. The whole poem is fresh and natural, without affectation. At the same time, it gives love a new interpretation-simple and natural.
"I'd like to be a torrent" is connected by the structural cycle of "I'd like to be-/as long as my lover-",and image group is arranged in contrast, with metaphors in between, giving people a refreshing feeling. The metaphor of "I" in the whole poem is rapids, barren forests, ruins, thatched houses, clouds and broken flags, all of which are simple and innocent. The "lover" is the embodiment of "small fish", "bird", "ivy", "flame" and "sunset". These things are lovely and gentle. The combination of the two is natural and impeccable. There is no romance between flowers and moons, no tenderness of romantic nights, but there is a fresh and refined feeling.
Poets also attach great importance to the word "nature" in choosing words and making sentences. The whole poem is decorated with extremely common language such as "rough" and "brave", which avoids the "tedious procrastination" of the work and is more natural and cordial. Between the lines, the poet's faithful view of love is clear at a glance: "I would like to be a torrent, as long as my lover is a small fish", "I would like to be a barren forest, as long as my lover is a bird", and in addition, the poet's pursuit and yearning for free life.
There will always be a full moon. I believe that the freedom that poets hope for will come one day, and love should have a new interpretation-simplicity and purity.
