Wei Erlun's poetic style is sad, and he often blends his inner feelings into natural scenes. His collection of poems, Melancholy Poems and Wisdom? All show this style. Although his works are sad, they are bright and light, fresh and natural, smooth and soothing, and are often used for healing.
Wei Erlun (1844- 1896) is the "king of poets" in French symbolism poetry and occupies an important position in the history of French poetry. In the art of poetry, Wei Erlun is a poet who rebelled against the existing tradition.
He is also one of the representatives of symbolism literature, and is called the "Troika" of symbolism poets together with Malamei and Rambo. Compared with the obscure poetic styles of the latter two, Wei Erlun's poems are more popular and catchy, so they are also loved by ordinary readers. Representative works include Melancholy Poetry, Wisdom, Parallelism, Elegy and Death.
He first entered the poetic world as a Barnabas poet, but his poetic style, style and temperament were completely different from Barnabas from the beginning. Wei Erlun is really a sad poet. In the first book of poetry published by 1866, he named his poetry collection "Melancholy Poetry", and since then, melancholy has run through the whole process of his life writing.
Wei Erlun once said in a letter to a friend, "My poems are becoming more and more modern." Many of Wei Erlun's works, especially some excellent works, have no obscure meaning, but are clear, light, fresh, natural, smooth and soothing. Although most of his works are sad, they are not decadent.
Wei Erlun often blends his inner feelings into natural scenes. In his view, nature is like a strange dream, which makes him indulge in the harmony between nature and human nature.
