On Gratitude Prose Poems

Jinhua

If I become a golden flower, for fun, I will grow on a tall branch, swing in the air with a smile and dance on new leaves. Mom, will you know me?

If you yell, "Where are you, son?" I snickered there, but didn't say a word.

I will quietly open my petals and watch you work.

When you take a shower, put your wet hair on your shoulders, walk through the shade of golden flowers and walk to the yard where you pray, you will smell the flowers, but you don't know that the fragrance comes from me.

When you sit at the window and read Ramayana after lunch, the shadow of that tree falls on your hair and knees, and I will cast my little shadow on your page, where you are reading.

But can you guess that this is a small shadow of your child?

When you go to the cowshed with a lamp at dusk, I will suddenly fall to the ground again and become your child again. Please tell me a story.

"Where have you been, you bad boy?"

"I won't tell you, mom." That's what you and I were trying to say.

Creative background:

"Golden Flower" is the representative work of Tagore's prose collection "Crescent Moon Collection" and his early works. Tagore's works in this period are often "more dreamy than realistic".

He himself fantasizes about transforming the national character and society through moderate religious, philosophical, educational and moral means, so as to realize national autonomy.

It's just a prose poem about grateful mother.

Appreciation of original text

The Golden Flower is short and rich in meaning, and it is the representative work of Tagore's collection of prose poems, The Crescent Moon.

What is written is an imagination-"if I become a golden flower" (the first sentence), which gives birth to imagination-a magical child "playing hide and seek" with his mother, forming an intriguing picture, showing affection and showing the beauty and sacredness of human nature.

Such pictures can be viewed from various angles and try to find out various meanings.

Although the work is short, the plot is complete and there are waves in the plot development. Characters show their individuality in the development of the plot;

"I" is naive, lively, intelligent, "mysterious" and naturally kind; Mother is quiet, pious, kind and loving. Kindness and kindness are the main melody melody of mother and son's character.

However, the "cunning" of "me" and the "deception" of my mother are not in harmony with the main theme, which has produced some subtle changes and a strong interest.

Fanfajia, from the Institute of Literature, China Academy of Social Sciences, wrote Fantasy Beautiful and Affectionate: Golden Flower, which shows a child's innocent fantasy full of consciousness and vividly describes the child's infinite love and attachment to his mother by talking to his mother alone.
