He is honest, intelligent and romantic, and he dares to be the first in the world and the book of injustice. When everyone is an accomplice to cover up the decadent Chu empire, he is the only one standing on the edge of the turbulent waves singing "Everyone is drunk and I wake up alone, and everyone is turbid and I wake up alone". At that time, reading his poems and listening to his stories washed me away. I wrote him down in the dark.
In my mind, he is a noble, a genius, a poet, a politician and a hero.
However, a thousand years later, I met a poet with similar light in another country.
This man is George, the most famous romantic poet in Britain? Gordon? Byron.
Byron was not only a great poet, but also a fighter who struggled for his ideals all his life. He took an active and brave part in the revolution and the Greek national liberation movement, and gave his young life here.
As he said in his last poem, "If you hate youth, why are you still alive?"? The land where you died gloriously is here. Go to the battlefield and give you a sigh of relief. Seeking a soldier's home is the most suitable for him. Look around, choose a place and rest quietly. "
Perhaps even Byron himself didn't think that the last sentence of this poem actually came true.
Shi Jing Chua
"Apollo grabbed my ear and told me not to ramble."
-"Don Juan"
Byron's life balance is 36 years old, the death of a standard genius.
Born in London, he is a typical declining aristocratic family. His father is a typical playboy, and his mother has a bad temper. He was born lame and is often called "lame" by his mother. Whenever this happens, he will answer, "Look, is this human language?"
An unhappy family leads to a sharp personality.
At the age of ten, the hereditary title and industry of Byron family fell on him and became Byron VI. 180 1 year, in order to match Byron's aristocratic status and position, the family decided to send him to a famous school-Harrow Public School.
Byron, who went to college, was a troublemaker, longing for exoticism (which was a general portrayal of young people at that time) and was deeply influenced by the enlightenment thought. At the age of 2/kloc-0, he traveled to Greece, Turkey and other places, writing poems while traveling. He wrote Harold's Travels, an early work, and sent two volumes of poetry back to England. He said, "I woke up in the morning and became famous overnight, becoming Napoleon on the stage."
He said, do it.
The publication of his first two poems shocked the whole English poetry world and became a recognized genius. Since then, the Milky Way has been bright.
Britain chose Byron after Shakespeare.
Mr. Mu Xin commented on him like this:
"He is a noble, a poet, a handsome man, a hero and a symbol of multiple attributes. When I saw this name when I was a child, I couldn't stand it without reading the work.
Look at the portrait again and admire it even more. Baoyu met Daiyu and said that this sister seems to have met somewhere. I met Byron, and this brother seems to have met somewhere. "
All my life, I resisted oppression, sympathized with the weak and pursued freedom.
"The rolling hills watch the marathon,
Marathon watching the vast waves,
I meditated there alone for a quarter of an hour,
Dreams are still free and happy;
Because when I stand in front of the tomb of Persia,
I can't imagine being a slave. "
-"The Sorrow of Greece"
At1809-1811,this "rebellious" young man began his journey to the east. He traveled to many places, from southern Europe to western Asia, experienced the customs and social systems of western Asia and southern European countries, and enjoyed the scenery of foreign countries, which laid a great foundation for his later creation.
In addition, he witnessed the heavy blow of the Spanish army to the French invaders, and also witnessed the great suffering of the Greek people under the ravages of the Turkish iron hoof. From then on, Byron hated oppression and aggression very much. In Sorrow for Greece, he wrote that "the cause of freedom does not depend on westerners. They have a king who does business, a local sword and a local soldier, which is the only hope to charge. " The "business" here refers to his own country-Britain.
And his pursuit is a lifetime.
Byron lost everything for Greek independence.
He went to the front of Greece, served as the commander of the rebel army, died of fever, and the whole of Greece was crying and shooting.
The body was shipped back to Britain, and London was greeted by a sea of people. This is the glory of Britain.
Hypocrites and opponents want to get involved with him.
So we say that Byron is not only a political poet, but also a soldier and a hero.
Facing the right and wrong of the country, he is very bloody.
Yes, the word bloody seems to cover his whole life.
He never bowed like a powerful man in his life.
He has been shouting for the oppressed all his life,
He has been fighting oppression all his life.
36 years old, it can be said that his life is full of passion.
Affectionate and tired beauty
"If the flowers turn yellow,
That's better than watching her suddenly pick out today.
Wouldn't it be more pathetic? "
-"You're dead."
Some people say that Byron "has been fickle to women all his life, but he is willing to die for the freedom of others."
I don't want to talk about Byron's feelings here. No one is perfect. As a talented poet, his emotional generation is far richer than that of ordinary people, which is also a common problem of poets. As for his social life, different people have different views.
Maybe it's a fling, or maybe it's a revelation. Between the pink arms of the upper class, the affair of a young aristocratic poet is naturally more talked about. Byron has broken his leg, but he has Yang Guo's skills. The girls almost "miss Byron for life at first sight", but he seems to be merciful everywhere. After teasing the girls, he ran away (I won't elaborate here, because Byron's sisters are as many as the stars in the sky), and even one girl committed suicide because she refused to be abandoned by Byron.
Finally, Byron proposed to Miss Anna milbank and married her on June 5438+08 15 1. However, due to personality reasons, they were unhappy, probably because the daughter-in-law discovered Byron's infidelity, and then they began to separate.
Later, Britain used this as an excuse to suppress Byron, and Byron had to run away from home, but this did not stop him from falling in love. Instead, he continued his trip to the East, where he met a Greek girl who was also the heroine in his Greek Girl.
Free and easy as Byron, I left it behind after writing, continued my trip to the East, and met all kinds of romantic beauties. It can be said that Byron's lover accompanied him all his life until his death.
Here are some of Byron's poems, taken from Don Juan:
one
As for them, they want to put this young Khan
How to manipulate, then I can't ask more;
There is no doubt that a handsome young man will get
More popular than a rough old hero,
This, of course, is why on the battlefield
To find veterans who have fought many battles.
It's harder, but a beautiful son
It's all over the floor, but it's all blood
two
Civilization, mention your great fun again!
The wonderful result of a dense society,
War and plague, extortion tyrants,
The scourge of kingship, greedy dignitaries and bullies,
Thousands of soldiers kill for money,
And 60-year-old Catherine's boudoir,
Coupled with the Ismail massacre, it adds luster to it.
three
Maid in waiting and Don Juan disguised as a man
Line up in a long line, consistent with the emperor.
After the sultan devoted himself to the ceremony, he waved.
They retired and went back to their bedroom;
This is a long row of corridors in the harem.
There, ladies-in-waiting rest their jade limbs:
Ah, thousands of hearts are beating for love.
Like a caged bird eager to fly into space.
four
I love women, sometimes I think so.
Reverse the tyrant's desire:
He is willing to "all mankind has only one neck."
So he can kill them all with a knife,
My ambition is also great, but it's not that bad.
Not so cruel (I was still very young);
I hope all women have only one mouth.
I can kiss from south to north with a little touch.
five
A stubborn, impatient and reckless woman,
Young, beautiful, brave, willing to sacrifice.
Throne. The world and the universe, as long as it can make her
Be loved as you wish; If the stars in the sky
Block the road and wave away,
So she can be as free as a wave meets a strong wind. ......
If such a woman is not a devil, who is qualified?
But many people want to be her followers.
six
Throne and the world. , often due to
Ordinary ambitions change hands; So when love
It is easy to forget when overthrowing the country.
Or at least forgave that unwise love.
If Anthony has been described as a beautiful speaker so far,
That's not because of his martial arts;
In the battle of Aksin, he was defeated because of his beauty.
Than all Caesar's achievements.
He has been over half a century. He is a 40-year-old queen.
Double suicide; Well, I hope they are only fifteen.
Or twenty, then wealth and the world and so on,
This is just a joke; Remember when I was that age?
Although there are not many worlds that die for love,
But I'm willing to give everything ... my heart.
When I am old, I am full of dedication; But no matter how many cities there are
Not worthy of my simple love in the past.
seven
Finally, she used the royal style.
Put your hand on his hand and pass it to him.
A kind of eye contact that can convince people who have no empire,
Looking for his love, but there is no answer;
She frowned, but she didn't want to scold.
But proud women don't rely on this method;
She stood up, calm for a while, and then
I threw myself into his arms and couldn't get rid of it.
It's a tricky test, but don Juan
Sadness, anger and pride,
Just gently pushed her snow-white arm away,
Sit her down in despair,
Then he stood up proudly and took a look.
Then coldly staring at her face, call way:
"The eagle in the cage refused to pair, and I don't want to.
A Sudanese woman's spring dream came true.
"You ask me if I can love? This is proof.
How much I love ... but I don't mean to love you!
This cheap skirt, this lace and nepotism.
It suits me well, because a slave
What love can we talk about? Your luxurious palace
But not in my eyes! Your strength
Maybe it's big, kowtowing, kneeling, hands and eyes.
I must serve you ... but my heart is free.
