Tagore's Paper Boat and Mother
I put the paper boats one by one in the swift stream every day.
I wrote my name and the name of the village where I lived in big black letters on the paper boat.
I hope people living in different places can get the paper boat and know who I am.
I put beautiful flowers in the garden, hoping that these flowers that bloom at dawn can be safely brought to the shore at night.
I threw the paper boat into the water, looked up at the sky and saw clouds of white sails full of wind.
I wonder what my playmates are in the sky. Put these boats down and race with me!
As night fell, I buried my face in my arm and dreamed that my paper boat floated slowly forward under the midnight starlight.
The sleeping fairy sat on the boat with a basket full of dreams.
I/don't remember/my mother,
Only in/my game/in progress.
Sometimes/it seems/there is a tune/spinning on my toy.
It's those songs that she hummed when she shook my cradle.
I/don't remember/my mother,
But/in the early autumn morning
The fragrance of acacia flowers/in the air/floating,
The morning prayers in the temple/incense/blow to me/smell like a mother.
I/don't remember/my mother,
Only when/when I look at the distant blue sky from the bedroom window/outside,
I want to/my mother/look into my face,
It's full/full/sky.
Tagore, a famous Indian poet, writer, artist and social activist, was born in Calcutta into a family rich in philosophy, literature and art. 13 years old, can write long poems and compose poems. I have studied literature and music in Britain, traveled around the world for more than ten times, had many contacts with a large number of world celebrities such as romain rolland and Einstein, and devoted my life to the exchange and coordination between eastern and western civilizations. Tagore is famous as a poet, and he wrote more than 50 poems, such as Gitanjali, which is called "Poet Saint". He is also a famous novelist, playwright, composer and painter. He has completed 12 novels, more than 0/00 short stories, more than 20 plays, more than 500 paintings and more than 2,000 songs. Tagore was also a talented philosopher, educator and social activist. 19 13, Tagore won the Nobel Prize in Literature for his collection of poems "Gitanjali". 19 15, Chen Duxiu published four hymns translated by him in the second issue of Youth magazine (New Youth). The thought of "believing in love, childlike innocence and maternal love" in his works, with broad and kind mind and unique personality, has won the admiration of countless readers in China.
Tagore is a writer with great world influence. From 65438 to 0924, Tagore visited China at the invitation of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and the "Tagore fever" reached its climax. When he was in Xu Zhimo's hometown, "the audience was blocked, and hundreds of students from various schools collectively sang songs and saluted. It was quite a moment." Met with Liang Qichao, Shen Junru, Mei Lanfang, Liang Shuming, Qi Baishi, Pu Yi and other celebrities. 1956 Premier Zhou Enlai recalled: "Tagore was a talented poet who made outstanding contributions to world literature ..." He influenced a group of the most talented poets and writers in China, among which Guo Moruo and Bing Xin had the deepest influence. Guo Moruo, the first poet of China's new poetry, said that the first stage of his literary career was Tagore style. Bing Xin is the first female writer in China's new literature. Her early works were obviously influenced by Tagore, especially her poems "Stars" and "Springs". She said: "When I wrote Stars and Spring Water myself, I was not writing poetry, but was influenced by Tagore's Birds, and I collected a lot of' fragmentary ideas' in a collection." Guo Moruo, Bing Xin and others have influenced China readers from generation to generation with their works.
