When you are old.
When you are old, gray-haired and sleepy,
Take a nap by the fire, take down this book,
Reading slowly, dreaming of the gentle eyes.
Your eyes were once, and their shadows were deep;
How many people love your happy and elegant moments,
Loving your beauty with true or false love,
But there is one person who loves your pilgrim soul,
Love the sadness on your aging face;
Bend down by the glowing fireplace,
Whispering a little sadly, how love dies.
Pacing on the mountains overhead
Hide his face among the stars.
when you are old
Original: Ye Zhi
Old, gray-haired, sleepy.
Take a nap by the fire. Please write down this poem.
Read slowly and recall the tenderness of your eyes in the past.
Recall the heavy shadows of their past.
How many people love you when you are young and happy?
Adore you's beautiful face, hypocritical or sincere.
Only one person loves your pilgrim soul.
Love the painful wrinkles on your aging face
Hang your head down by the burning fire.
Whispering sadly, telling how that love disappeared.
How to walk into the mountains
How to disappear in the constellation
Appreciation: Time left a heavy shadow, destroyed the face, took away the youth, and carved painful wrinkles on the aging face. However, time also verifies and creates love. Only when you stand so far away? Old? Far away, see the youth in the distance. Only through time can love be rock-solid and last forever.
The whole poem is narrated in the second person, but we can still feel the existence of the poet.

The fire is blazing (we can imagine two painful old faces by the fire! ) you? Sad? Keep your head down There is still nothing to say about the poet, but we can imagine him watching. What about you? Show pain and double it.
? Whisper the disappearance of love? This sentence is the saddest, and the tone of the whole poem has fallen to the bottom. Time creates love and takes it away. Time has proved everything, revealed the truth and fooled you. And you, only sigh, sadness and mumbling. At this point, we seem to think? You created it, you destroyed it? ,? Everything is nothingness, chasing the wind? Disillusionment
However, the next sentence is a strange peak. ? On the mountain overhead, it walked slowly, hiding its face among a group of stars. ? . Love didn't disappear, destroying the body, but hiding itself on the mountain overhead, where the gods lived, and among a group of stars. ? Star? With what? The height of the gods will remind us of eternity, immortality and sacredness, and it will be too cold at the same time. Being with the gods and stars endows love with eternal, immortal and even sacred significance, and it is in this sense that this poem is extraordinary and makes people suddenly wake up? Love? It turns out that it contains this awesome height and noble quality, thus truly becoming the eternal swan song of love.

Out of pity, it doesn't want to sting the soul that has sunk in the years with its own light. Walk slowly? Because I can't bear to leave, because I miss the past. This? Hide? And then what? Pacing? It also makes us feel that even at that height, the poet is still infatuated, thus offsetting his career? High place? The chill it brings.
Chen Yinque, a person of A Qing Dynasty, said that good poems are gloomy. There are many love poems and gloomy poems in the world. However, few people write gloomy love poems like Ye Zhi. This kind of melancholy stems from extreme emotional sadness and rational restraint. When Ye Zhi wrote this poem, Mao Degang had married another woman, and had explicitly rejected the poet's proposal of marriage before that. So he must be pregnant with a despair of love, which is huge and even devastating for some people. But the poet always narrates in a calm, vivid and simple style, even in the worst places, he doesn't flow? Talk? The origin of.
Is this poem based on? When you are old? This hypothetical time is the beginning, with? A poem? Recall, show love, then lament the disappearance of love, and finally, in? The mountain overhead? ,? Between the stars? Let love be reborn and sublimated, with moving power.
