"The Cry of Children", "Portuguese Sonnets", etc. Mrs. Browning's collection of poems also contains many lyrical poems that borrow objects. She evokes feelings in the heart through vivid and vital images, such as flames, palms, pines, flowers, sunshine, etc. "Yes, this nursery is full of weeds and regrets for you to cultivate; but here are roses, too, and ivy - take them as I took your flowers." (Psalm 44) )[2] Browning constantly collected the best roses from the garden and gave them to Barrett. The bright fragrance of the flowers and the affection of the sender made her shrinking life appear full of vitality. When there is no love, the "nursery" of the heart is full of "weeds", but when love comes, "roses" and "ivies" are planted again. Love is powerful, and it was her husband's admiration that made her happy again, just like Wang Xiaobo's sentence "Nothing is the opponent of love, except love." In short, in "Portuguese Sonnets", it can often be said See the poet use these vivid images to arouse the desire and hope for love in his heart.
