First of all, the poet does not express his feelings directly, but expresses his feelings in things, using things to express his feelings, so that he can express his inner feelings in a tangible position. The whole poem is divided into the first twelve lines and the last two lines. The first twelve lines can be divided into three or four lines, and each line is an image. In the first group of four-line poems, the poet outlines a withered and cold winter scene with simple thick lines; In the second four-line group, the poet describes the sunset scene of a day when the sun sets and the earth is yellow; In the third four-line group, the poet described himself as "lying on the embers of youth, shining", where the fire would go out and the heat would dissipate. These three images or metaphors in poetry are very important to express the theme, so poets write the most. These three images all have one thing in common, that is, they all symbolize that people are old and close to the end of their lives. This is a bleak and tragic scene, and anyone will feel pity when they see it. This is the poet's intention to adopt these three images, and the last two lines of the poem express this intention.
In Shakespeare's poems, color words are rich, some are bright and comfortable, some are gloomy and depressed, and they are used properly. The use of these color words can not only make the image more vivid and prominent, but also set off the feelings that the poet wants to express, thus making the poem more profound, interesting and charming.
