My friends have set up a reading group, and I happen to be lucky enough to join it. I read poetry every day, and I was lucky enough to be invited to participate in an event tonight to read and appreciate Dickinson's poetry.
I feel a little nervous, so I will prepare again now.
If a robin came to visit
If a robin came to visit,
I would no longer breathe,
Please give me a red tie That One
A little crumb of nostalgia.
If I can't apologize to you,
because of my deep sleep,
you know
I'm trying hard with my stiff mouth.
The robin is mentioned here. There are robins in many European and American works. Do you know how long this little bird is? By the way, it's 12 to 15 centimeters long, which is as long as a card, as long as an open figure.
Do you know how old he is? How old will he live? Yes, 15 years old is the age of a high school student, and that is its short life. Do you know how much it weighs? Guess, yes, it’s 16~22 grams. How much does it weigh? This is equivalent to 1/10 of our 80-90 mm tangerine. It is relatively light, but it is small and exquisite, and very beautiful. It is very recognizable, including brown, orange, and Blue, what's the reason for this? It is said that it once sang a song to Jesus who was crucified on the cross, so it was stained with some blood and turned from brown to orange. At this time, people called it the Bird of God.
In the UK, blue is the most common color. So the British called it the national bird. When they left the country, they missed this bird very much, so they also called it the robin for those similar birds.
Our Chinese writers also like it very much. For example, Bing Xin’s "Miscellaneous Notes from the Mountains" mentioned this kind of bird, and a song by singer Lin Yilun also mentioned a lovebird. Why? Also called lovebirds? Because it is only loyal to one partner in its life, it seems to be more loyal than many of us humans, so it is also called a lovebird.
In this poem, it can be seen that the poet is probably ill and very depressed, because she "cannot breathe" and can only try to say thanks with a "stiff mouth". But, because there are small animals, robins, other small animals, other plants, roses, and the morning light of nature, etc., she is no longer so depressed, which is a lot What the reviewer failed to mention is that we not only enjoy loneliness, but we can also gradually move away from it. Although she was unhappy in her life, including in marriage, this bird became her companion. It can be said that these little animals healed it. This is also the charm of poetry. Friends, please fall in love with poetry. I think poetry is the best literature.
