The Spiritual Love of New Life Dante's "New Life"

There are many ways to love, and Dante's love is platonic.

A famous foreign literature teacher talked about Dante and his "new life". After hearing this story, I was really moved. Although it was Dante's unrequited love, it inspired him to create a "new life" that has been passed down through the ages. I have to sigh that the power of love is so great.

Battleship Dante AliGneki Cherie was a great poet in the Italian Renaissance, and was praised as "the last poet in the Middle Ages and the first poet in the new era" by Engels. He once dominated the political arena, but made greater achievements in literary works, representing "New Life" and "Divine Comedy". Dante's first collection of poems, New Life (1292-1293), is an autobiographical poetic novel, telling the poet's first love experience. The work tells the story with prose poems, and 3 1 lyric poems are connected in series. Bertelli, a woman who influenced Dante's life, is Dante's spiritual pillar.

Dante met Bertelli for the first time at the age of 9, and it was love at first sight. Nine years later, he met Bertelli in the street, and he admired her even more. However, no matter how Dante inspired Bertelli, she couldn't remember seeing Dante once as a child. She only knew that Dante was a quite famous poet, and Dante was already famous in Florence at that time. At this time, Dante began to write poems to express his thoughts. Bertelli married a banker at the age of 2/kloc-0. Bertelli gave Dante an invitation out of courtesy. How did she know Dante admired her for a long time? This is the third time they have met. Bertelli died at the age of 25, and Dante wrote "New Life" to show his mourning. In his book, he vowed to write a masterpiece, which became the Divine Comedy.

It is such a woman that Dante has only seen that woman three times, but he has this unparalleled love for her. Bertelli was the mentor who led Dante into heaven in The Divine Comedy. Dante's spiritual love for Bertelli is one of his important life experiences. The poet's persistence in his first love and the magical creativity arising from it are stories in the history of literature.

They only met three times, that's all. However, the image of Bertelli is deeply engraved in Dante's heart. In his mind, she is like the virgin Mary in the eyes of Christians and has become the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty. Her death was a great blow to him-Dante pursued Platonic spiritual love.

When the mind abandons the body and yearns for the truth, then thought is the best. When the soul is infected by the sins of the body, people's desire for truth will not be satisfied. When human beings have no strong demand for sensuality, their mood is peaceful. Carnal desire is the expression of animal nature in human nature, and it is also the nature of every creature. People are so-called higher animals because human nature is stronger than animal nature, and spiritual communication is beautiful and moral. A kind of spiritual love between the opposite sex named after Plato, a western philosopher, pursues spiritual communication and rejects sensuality.

Expose the reality, awaken people's hearts, and point out a way for Italy's political and moral revival; Commemorating Bertelli and praising her beauty and holiness-these are the motive force of Dante's creation and the main content of his creation. "New Life" contains 3 1 lyric poems (connected by prose), which expresses the poet's love for Bertelli and has the nature of memoir and confession. The poem is full of Dante's persistent pursuit of life, enthusiastic praise of pure love and longing for a better life, expressing his hazy desire to get rid of medieval religious precepts and moral norms. Simple and beautiful, sad and moving, it has reached the highest achievement of "gentle new style" poetry.

Spiritual love, such a powerful driving force.

……

The first three hours of the night have passed.

Every star shines on us.

How suddenly my love came.

This idea still shakes my soul.

I think Cupid is in full swing, and at the moment she's

Hold my heart in my hand; At the elbow

Still asleep, my veiled lover

He woke her up and she trembled and tamed.

Eat my burning heart from his hand.

I watched Cupid leave with tears on his face.

……

There is only one person in this world. For you (you), she (he) is perfect and only for you (you). In other words, everyone has his perfect partner, and there is only one.
