Introduction to Birds: Reading these poems for the first time is like opening the bedroom window in the early summer morning after a storm and seeing a cold and clear world. Everything is so fresh and bright, but the charm is very strong and intriguing. From 65438 to 0905, Tagore devoted himself to the national independence movement and wrote patriotic songs such as Flood. The will of the people is set as the national anthem of India today. 19 10, Tagore published the novel Gora. 19 16 published the novel Home and the World, enthusiastically praising the patriotic spirit of striving for national independence. 19 12, Tagore won the Nobel Prize in Literature for his lyric poetry collection "Gitanjali". 19 13 released famous birds and gardeners. The English name of a bird is stray Birds. Wandering is wandering, birds are birds, and sometimes people. Zheng Zhenduo, the translator of Birds, once affectionately called Tagore's prose poems "containing profound truth" after translating them, and vividly pointed out that Tagore's prose poems "are like a bunch of wild flowers on the hillside grass, sticking out one after another in the morning light. No matter what you like, colors and smells are diverse. " Speaking of Tagore's works, people can always feel an inspiring enterprising spirit. His poems contain many ideological contents, but the profound and extensive enlightenment of life philosophy is the main feature of his poems. In his poetry creation, he eulogized his sincere love for the people with a pure heart and praised the beautiful things of the whole nature, the whole mankind and the whole universe. His poems shine with profound philosophical light like pearls, which not only arouses people's love for nature, human beings and all the beautiful things in the world, but also enlightens people how to persist in the ideal pursuit of real life and make the whole life full of joy and light. Birds were written in 19 13. At first glance, this collection of prose poems with little thought seems to be all-encompassing and covers a wide range. However, it is in this expression of small thoughts about nature and life that the poet wrote his philosophical thinking about nature, universe and life with lyrical marks, thus giving people all kinds of life enlightenment. It makes people feel free. Since coming into this world, from the day of birth, everyone has started his (her) long and short life journey. On the road of life, you will inevitably encounter many unexpected difficulties, even unimaginable difficulties and obstacles. So, how to treat it? Are you lamenting fate or making progress? This is obviously the topic of everyone's life. Reading Tagore's poems will obviously make you choose the latter, because Tagore's life revelation is, don't shed tears because you missed the sun, you should miss today's sun. As long as you can face up to the night and persist in the pursuit of the night, the shining stars in the night sky will still repay you and give you strength and confidence to bravely meet or chase the sun of tomorrow. If you just sigh your fate and shed tears, you will not only be inspired by the stars, but also lose tomorrow and the sun beyond. The sun is based on our own efforts. This is the charm of Tagore's poems, telling you how to be a strong man in life and how to deal with all kinds of difficulties in life. Right? You see, when it comes to love, isn't that what Tagore told you? "Don't let your love sit on a cliff just because it is high." Be faithful to love. Only when both sides love each other can we get true love. If you play with love and artificially create all kinds of love suspense, it is bound to make love hang on the cliff and may burst at any time. Tagore thinks that good love will add luster to life. So, can't the pursuit of beautiful love in the sense of life make everyone's life more interesting? On the contrary, taking the pursuit of love as enjoyment and life as a child's play is bound to be like chasing love on a cliff, with disastrous consequences. Tagore not only warned people how to treat life in this way, but also advocated a life spirit of silent dedication to create a better life by praising some unknown people and unknown flowers. Just like the nameless flower, compared with the rustling leaves, it has no stormy sound, but with its simple and gorgeous silence, it shows the inner beauty, decorates the world and brings fragrance to people. People will not look down on the nameless flower because of the magnificence of peony and the gorgeous chrysanthemum. Floret has its own personality, and floret has its own fragrance. Isn't her purity, simplicity and calmness the spirit of silent dedication to life? It is also like a green leaf. Although it doesn't have the dignity of cause and the beauty of flower, isn't its value reflected in the contrast and shade of fruit and flower? This leaf cause is the cause of dedication, and people will not despise it, because there is no leaf cause, no cause, and no flower cause. Tagore deeply felt that this spirit of silent dedication is worthy of life, just as "green grass is worthy of the great world in which it grows", and its intrinsic value will always show the brilliance of life. With this dedication and enterprising spirit of life, the whole life not only shows its value and significance, but also fully shows the power of humanity and personality, which is the master of the world, thus enhancing people's belief in life and their love for life. Tagore said: "The stars are not afraid to look like fireflies", which shows the eternity of human nature. Honest, noble and pure people may be misunderstood for a while, but they will not be misunderstood forever. As a folk proverb in China says, "Gold shines everywhere." Yes, a noble personality always shows its noble nature. This is one of the important features of Tagore's philosophy of life. Although "I have suffered, been disappointed and experienced' death'", people will still enjoy living in this world, because life evokes people's love for life. Tagore is undoubtedly a philosopher, and his philosophical enlightenment has many meanings in life. Zheng Zhenduo once said: "Although Tagore's songs are sometimes silent, as long as there are human beings in the world, his delicate and quiet poems will always be sung by people's hearts." Yes, Tagore's poems are from the heart, and they are his sincere feelings for a deep understanding of life. As an Indian said, "He is the first among us: he can tell life itself without rejecting it, which is why we love him." Birds is a collection of philosophical English maxims, including 325 poems. The first edition was completed in 19 16. Part of it was translated by the poet from his own Bengali aphorism collection "Broken Jade Collection" (1899), and the other part was an impromptu English poem written by the poet during his visit to Japan in 19 16. The poet stayed in Japan for more than three months, and the ladies kept asking him to write a fan or a commemorative book. Considering this background, it is not difficult for us to understand why most of these poems are only one or two lines. The poet once praised the simplicity of Japanese haiku, and his Bird was obviously influenced by this poetic style. Therefore, profound wisdom and short space are its remarkable characteristics. Zhou Cezong, a Chinese-American scholar, believes that these poems are "like pebbles shining on the beach, each with its own world. They are fragmentary and short-lived; But it is rich, profound and reasonable.
Gardener's collection
The Gardener Collection is one of Tagore's other important masterpieces, and it is a "song of life". It is more integrated into the poet's youth experience and describes the happiness, troubles and sadness of love in detail, which can be regarded as a youth love song. The poet sang these love songs in retrospect. When recalling the throbbing of youth, he undoubtedly kept a certain distance from his own youth and made a rational examination and thinking, so that this love song flashed the glory of philosophy from time to time. Reading these poems is like walking in the early summer after a storm, with an irresistible freshness and fragrance, as if seeing a clear world. Everything is so pure and beautiful that people unconsciously appreciate the taste of love and youth.

My last gift to you will be a tear that falls into the depths of your youth and makes your smile sweeter. When the exultation of the day is cruel, it will turn into mist and cover your charming face.
Gitanjali

ferry
On the day when I had to leave, the sun appeared from the clouds. The blue sky stares at the earth-a fairyland created by God. My heart is sad because it doesn't know where the call comes from. The whisper of the breeze comes from the world I left? The tearful song there disappeared into the cheerful silence. Maybe the breeze brought the smell of the island? It lies in the warm embrace of exotic flowers and plants in summer on the distant sea. The market broke up, and in the twilight, people set foot on their way home. I sat on the side of the road and watched you swing across the dark water, and the sunset shone on your sail; I saw your silent figure standing by the rudder. Suddenly, I saw your eyes staring at me. I stopped singing. I call you and take me across the river. The wind is blowing, and my boat is about to set sail. Helmsman, hold the rudder steady. My ship longs for freedom and dances with the rhythm of the wind and waves. The day has passed, and now it's night. All the friends on the shore have left. Untie the anchor and we will sail under the starlight. When I was leaving, the wind rustled and sang in a low voice. Helmsman, hold the rudder steady.
random thought
Excerpt from Random Thoughts: What tune was played on the bamboo flute on the first day of meeting? She played: "My distant man came to me." Bamboo flute also sang: "when it comes to reserve, I am reserving what I can't reserve;" If I want it, I can get all the things that have been abandoned. Then, why don't bamboo flutes play music during the day? Because half the meaning has been forgotten by me. I only remember her by my side, but I didn't expect her to be far away. Half of love is meeting, I have seen it, but the other half of love is separation, I have never seen it. Never see that distant and insatiable tryst again; The barrier at hand has been erected. Between two people, there is an infinite sky; There is loneliness, no words. Only the flute can fill the great loneliness. If there is no gap between the vast sky, the bamboo flute will not play music. The sky between us went into darkness, full of daily work and words, full of daily fear, poverty and anxiety. ..
once again
Excerpt from Once More: Beautiful as a diamond with a platinum ring, a ray of sunshine shines obliquely on vilen through a cloudy gap. The wind is still blowing. Papaya tree is still in shock. In the farmland in the north, neem shows a competitive atmosphere. The treetops of palm trees are complaining. It's about half past one. At noon, the wet trees glistened and jumped into the north of the south wall.
Last week series
Excerpt from The Last Week: Your sweet smile like manna flashed on your beautiful face, and suddenly passed through the gap between chats, which strangely shook my sleepy youth. That is a rare pearl rolled up from the bottom of the sea on the beach of billions of events, and I never want to see it again. In an instant, a strange moment of emotion sang a song of walking, and entered my half-closed window from the distant Humen. Wonderful invisible fingers are playing acacia songs on the strings, a quiet house with drizzle, and related books that are invisible to the side.
The touch in the yarn stays in the melancholy fragrance of jasmine in the evening. So I remembered the moment of indecision for no reason; Think of that winter evening, you are looking at the pasture covered with hay; Think of the unaccompanied twilight, the other side of the sunset, and silently yearn for the sound of the piano.
Leaf disc formation
