Appreciation (1)-Affectionate is not necessarily a husband.
Liu Xizai, a poet in A Qing, once said that "Poetry comes from character" in "An Outline of Poetic Art". I think, at all times and in all countries, no one really deserves the title of "great poet". /kloc-petofi, the greatest Hungarian patriotic poet in the 9th century, is one of them. Mr. Lu Xun praised petofi as a "great lyric poet and Hungarian patriot" in "On Moro Poetry", and he also said: "I have always loved Petfi Sándor people and poetry."
Petofi Santor (1823-1849) was born in a poor butcher family. He once said in a poem: "My father asked me to follow in his footsteps, but I became a poet. And the result? My father killed the cow with a knife, and I killed the enemy with a pen. In fact, I did the same. " It can be seen that petofi has long decided to dedicate his life to his beloved poetry career and to the liberation of the entire Hungarian nation. 1849, when the Austrian-Russian allied forces invaded Hungary in an attempt to overthrow Hungary, which was still in its infancy, petofi resolutely rode on the battlefield and drew an epic stop for his magnificent life with his 26-year-old youthful blood. "Killing the enemy in one stroke" has also become a true portrayal of his life of singing revolution.
In the poem "I would like to be a torrent", the poet constructs a huge lyric network and a fiery love magnetic field with the help of a series of natural images, and expresses the poet's pure, loyal and selfless love around the same theme through a series of vivid metaphors. "Rapids, barren forests, ruins, thatched cottages, clouds, broken flags" and so on. , are desolate or desolate, poets use them to describe themselves, and the works of "small fish, birds, ivy, flames, sunset" are beautiful and warm, cheerful and bright, used to describe the lover in their hearts. In sharp contrast, the two show the poet's sincerity. That is to say, no matter how sinister a person's situation is and how bumpy his fate is, as long as a person is with my lover and my lover is free and happy, then I will be happy for your happiness, and then I will become brave and have the power to overcome all difficulties.
The five chapters of the whole poem revolve around the same center and are sung repeatedly, but without repetition. "Rapids" have to cross "rugged roads" and layers of "rocks", which shows that there may be many difficulties and obstacles in our love life; The "barren forest" struggling with "bouts of strong winds" means the hardships and blows that will be suffered on the road of love; The "ruins" have been abandoned and are being "silently destroyed", which shows that the poet is willing to make all great sacrifices for love; The "grass house" at the bottom of the valley highlights the loneliness of the poet's situation; The floating "cloud" shows the inevitable life of the poet wandering around the world. All these show the unyielding will and loyal love of the lyric hero. At the same time, the poet's description of "lover" is equally intriguing: how free and lively the "small fish" in the waves are; The twittering "bird" is so naive and cheerful, sweet and lovely; Green "Ivy" is a kind of beauty that will never fade; The "flame" in the furnace, like the flame of love, is warm; As for the "coral-like sunset glow", it is not only gorgeous and beautiful, but also brings infinite light and "brilliance".
A set of metaphors and a set of contrasts outline the plump images of the hero and heroine: poetic, splashing ink, pursuing perfection and yearning for true love. It's beautiful. It's really shocking. No wonder Mr. Lu Xun wants to say that petofi's poems are wonderful. As for someone who fought all his life on the basis of the petofi Revolution, it is far-fetched to understand this poem as a political lyric poem (such as the third volume of junior middle school teachers' Chinese), which is even more contrary to petofi's original intention of writing this poem.
Although the love poems written by petofi in his later period are more and more shining with the brilliance of revolutionary spirit, they have become a model of the perfect combination of love and revolution, such as1the famous poem Freedom and Love written in June, 847: "Life is precious, but the price of love is higher. If you are free, you can throw both. " And so on. However, because poets create folk songs, their poetic images are generally clear, and poets are used to touching people with their true feelings. This is also in line with his aesthetic point of view: "I am a person who can sacrifice for' truth' or even' beauty'." It can be seen that in petofi's poetic concept, the first element of "truth" is that even a little falsehood and affectation cannot be tolerated.
From this point of view, it is not difficult to find that "I would like to be a torrent" is the poet himself, and "My Love" is Julia maesa, which is undoubtedly a pure love poem. If you have to interpret political lyrics, it is not difficult to understand the "I" here, either the poet himself or a revolutionary colleague. And "my love"? It should be the Hungarian national liberation cause for which the poet and his comrades fought bloody battles, and it is the revolutionary ideal that the poet is determined to pursue. But wait a minute, there is a problem here, that is, the size of the image is misplaced. So lofty, so great, the Hungarian national liberation cause (revolutionary ideal) that the poet is willing to devote himself to has become a "small fish" in the "waves", a bird in the "branches", "ruins: a slender" ivy "in the world ... It seems strange and unacceptable, and I think even petofi himself would not think so. What's more, this poem was written in early June, 1847. At that time, the relationship between the poet and Julia maesa had changed for the better. Three months later, they got married. So, this is a love poem. Petofi, a poet, mobilized the cells of his whole body's love, lit the flame of passion and true love, and released the oath of love, which was earth-shattering and sincere. Appreciation (2)-Ruthlessness may not be a real hero, but love is still a great husband.
Petofi was a famous Hungarian poet in the19th century, and left a lot of well-known poems before his death. For example, Freedom and Love translated by Bai Mang, one of the "Five Martyrs of the Left Alliance": "Life is precious, but love is more expensive. If it is freedom, both can be lost. " This is almost a household name. This poem is about life and love, but the last sentence puts the revolutionary cause above them, which shows the poet's persistence in revolutionary belief. The whole poem is full of passion, heroic and free and easy. But in fact, poets have also written many classic love poems. Compared with the revolutionary soldiers' iron bones and lofty aspirations, these love poems show the other side of their iron man's tenderness, which is gentle and pleasant and has a different taste to read. Among them, "I want to be a torrent" is such a song.
This poem is written by the poet to his girlfriend You Liya, who is in love. The whole poem is full of warm and frank confessions, like an open love story. The whole poem is divided into five sections, each of which has similar structure, neat antithesis, natural and appropriate use of images, which directly expresses the poet's surging love.
First of all, the poem's "I do" expresses the author's unswerving and indomitable attitude towards love, and people seem to hear the groom's firm and steady voice-"I do" in the church wedding March. Yes, for love, he is willing, willing to give everything, willing to stick to his life for this love, and willing to take another person as himself. "I do", just three words, contains the poet's extremely heavy and deep feelings. This is an eternal oath, a lifelong commitment, strong and powerful. As the main theme of the poem, "I do" runs through the whole article. The power of only three words is enough to move the listener, and the poet's concentration, devotion and passion for love are vividly rendered.
Besides the recurring theme, the author thinks more rationally about love. He used a lot of images to imagine the status of both parties in love, which vividly and accurately conveyed the poet's inner emotional waves. I would like to be a torrent, a barren forest, a ruin, a hut, a cloud and a broken flag, as long as my lover is a small fish, a bird, an ivy, a flame and a sunset. "Torrent" provides a free living environment for "little fish" with its body, which is completely contained under its own protection. The "wild forest" provides dense branches and leaves for the "bird" to nest here, which protects it from the wind and rain and fights against the wind endlessly. Even if it is black and blue, it will not forget the wish of sheltering the bird. Ruins willingly let Ivy climb up his forehead and make a ladder, not because he is about to be destroyed, but because he knows that his lover is happy, happy for her happiness and happy for her happiness. "Straw house" and "flame" are natural enemies, and the existence of flame is a threat to the straw house, which will be smashed to pieces, but even so, "I" am willing to let the flame "slowly flash happily" in my straw house and make her happy and warm with my shabby. Dedication to love makes sacrifice a kind of heartfelt happiness. Finally, the two images of "cloud" and "broken flag" express aimless wandering. They have no home, no hope and no bright future to look forward to, but in this case, "I" would like to love my lover like a coral sunset, shining with its bright brilliance. In a series of metaphors that "I" and "lover" are not equal, "I" is broken, melancholy, sad and hopeless, while my lover is cheerful, happy, prosperous and full of hope, which forms a sharp contrast, and it is this contrast that makes the poet "I" willing to pour all his vows for love louder. As long as my lover is safe and happy, I will never care about my situation and future. This is an absolute persistence, a firm persistence and a poet's cognition of true love. what is love ? It should be an unreserved dedication, a belief, a feeling that you can give your life for it. Here, we see how lofty and great the poet's love view is, and also appreciate the tenderness under the chivalrous appearance. The poet is willing to endure hardships for the people he loves and exchange his pain and decline for her joy and prosperity.
Some people think that this poem is not about love, but implies the poet's persistence and loyalty to the revolutionary ideal, and expresses the author's determination to take my persistence in love as the revolutionary cause until I die. This explanation seems very reasonable, and petofi himself has always devoted himself to the cause of national independence and liberation, and wrote many excellent poems calling on the people to rise up and overthrow reactionary rule. However, it seems inappropriate to interpret "I would like to be a torrent" as a revolutionary poem, and it is really difficult to make sense in some places. For example, the metaphor of "torrent" and "little fish" shows that "torrent" has accommodated "little fish" with its own mind, providing it with a safe and happy living environment, which is unlikely to be the relationship between the individual and the revolutionary cause. Because in any case, the revolutionary cause is a bigger theme than the individual, and the individual cannot tolerate it. The metaphor of "barren forest" and "bird" also has such problems. In fact, revolutionary poets are not only obsessed with revolution, but also have secular desires and passionate love. Moreover, petofi did leave many love poems in his short life, such as I would like to be a tree.
"I would like to be a tree/if you are a flower on the tree/I would like to be a flower/if you are a dewdrop/I would like to be a dewdrop/if you are sunshine/so that we can be together ..." Obviously, this poem is very similar to "I would like to be a torrent", both of which are passionate declarations of love. The passionate love with Julia maesa aroused the poet's passion and left a lot of love poems, which people have always called "Julia maesa's poems". For example, for Julia maesa, I am a man in love. I saw the most gorgeous flowers in the East, and the young trees trembled in folk songs, which recorded the poet's unforgettable love.
Petofi is not only a successful poet, but also a brave fighter who struggled for national independence and freedom all his life. At the age of 26, he dedicated his young life to his native Hungary. In real life, he also insisted on his commitment to love and dedicated all his passionate feelings to You Liya until the day he died. However, after Petofi was killed on the battlefield, his beloved wife You Liya quickly passed it on to others. Only these poems are still widely read in the world as once love witnesses. Appreciation (III) —— A New Interpretation of Love
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 in series with the circular structure 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 "I" in the poem is a metaphor for "torrent", "barren forest", "ruins", "huts", "clouds" and "broken flags", which is 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. Through the lines of the poet, the faithful concept 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", 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.
