Reflections on Swan [France] Prudholm

The lake is deep and calm as a mirror.

Swan paddles double webbed waves and glides silently.

The fluff on both sides of it is like spring and April.

Insoluble snow will dissolve in the sun;

Huge white wings fluttered in the breeze,

Going with the flow is like a slow-moving ship.

It holds its beautiful long neck high above the reeds,

Sometimes immersed in the lake, or low on the water,

Bend again, as elegant as a relief pattern,

Hide the black beak under the bright neck.

It swam across the edge of the dark and quiet pine forest,

Elegant and melancholy,

Sandy's grass falls behind it,

Like a hair rippling behind you.

That cave, where poets listen to their emotions,

Spring is crying for friends lost forever,

Let the swan fall in love, it lingers here,

The willow leaves that fell quietly brushed its shoulder,

Then, it was far away from the dark forest.

Hold your head high and sail to a blue sky.

Celebrate white, which is what it advocates,

It chose the glorious hometown of sunglasses.

When the shore of the lake falls into mist,

All the outlines have become gloomy ghosts,

The horizon was dark, leaving only a red edge.

Juncus and orchids did not shake,

Rain frogs play music in the quiet air.

A little firefly twinkled in the moonlight.

So the swan fell asleep in the dark lake.

The lake reflects the light of milky white and blue night;

Like a silver lamp in a million diamonds,

It hides its head under its wings and sleeps between two skies.

The first winner of Nobel Prize in Literature was Prudholm, who was known as "a genius writer famous for his poetry".

From 65438 to 0865, Prudholm began to publish fluent and sentimental poems written because of lovelorn. In the same year, the first book of poetry, Poems and Verses, was published, which showed the young generation in France's love for life and pursuit of ideals, and caused great repercussions in society, and was praised as "the masterpiece of contemporary poetry" by the critics at that time. Encouraged by this, Prudhomme constantly explored and innovated in his poetry creation, and became the youngest, most elegant and elegant French poet at that time.

/kloc-In the second half of the 9th century, the barnabas School flourished in France. Under the influence of aestheticism of this school of poetry, Prudholm advocated formal beauty, elegant style and scientific interest in his creation, devoted himself to restoring the balance of poetry and opposed unrestrained romanticism. But the poet also believes that poetry should express people's vague and delicate feelings and describe the subtlety in the depths of the soul. Therefore, in the whole Barnabas school, Prudholm is a lyric poet. Although he is one of the leaders of Barnabas School, his creative ideas are contrary to the "impersonal" view of Barnabas School. Later, under the influence of the philosopher Barnett, Prudholm turned his interest to philosophical creation. Although these poems are well received by the cultural circles and express the pursuit of noble morality, they reveal a little preaching.

Swan is the most comprehensive and complete masterpiece of Barnabas's aesthetics. Its typicality lies in that the poet did not express any personal subjective feelings, but only made an objective artistic description of things, bringing out a pure landscape painting with quietness as the main tone and beauty as the main tone.

This beautiful landscape painting was completed by the poet along the trajectory of swans floating.

When the swan appeared, it glided quietly on the mirror-clear lake. Its fluff is like white snow that will dissolve in the sun, crystal clear, and its huge milky wings flutter in the breeze, like white sails bulging in the wind on a sailboat. Its beautiful long neck sometimes rises above the reeds, sometimes dives into the lake, and sometimes bends gracefully on the water. When it put its black beak close to the bright chest and glided through the dark and quiet pine forest, its expression was elegant and solemn, but its expression showed melancholy and sadness. Why is this? Oh, it's a weeping spring, mourning a friend who has lost forever. Ding-dong, Ding-dong's crying will pour out full of sadness. The swan lingered in front of the cave, and the willow leaves falling quietly brushed its shoulders, bringing the swan a silent moan. Then the swan held its head high and glided forward. The dark forest is thrown farther and farther, and the open blue lake is displayed in front of us. This is the glorious hometown of the sun toilet mirror. When dusk falls and the sunset leaves the last red light on the horizon, the quiet air is filled with a serene atmosphere. The grass in the sand is motionless, and in the silence, only rain frogs are beating their thousand drums. When the shore of the lake sank into the mist, the flashing fireflies began to dance in the moonlight. The sky in reality and the sky reflected in the water are intertwined, and Tianshui is the same color. At this time, against the backdrop of lake light and starlight, the swan is like a silver lamp among ten thousand diamonds, with milky white and blue light, floating on the dark lake. It hid its head under its wings and fell asleep between the charming "two days".

The curtain has fallen, but the charm of this painting still leaves the viewer's heart in a sparkling lake embraced by the faint night fog, and in the quiet, quiet, deep and noble dream of the swan.

In this magnificent and colorful picture drawn with characters and symbols, and in the pure beauty realm it presents, we can see that the protagonist image of "Swan" is the ideal of the poet's beauty. It would be better if interested people could appreciate the beauty of Prudholm's poem accompanied by the famous French musician Saint-Sang's Swan. It is deep and elegant, with subtle sadness. Farewell is a legendary swan song in Europe. The poets here not only regard the swan as an aesthetic object, but also give it musical meaning, that is, a pure and beautiful swan song.
