There are only two sentences in the whole poem, and the images in the poem are very common phenomena in daily life: night, eyes and light. Because of this, this poem has a thoughtful charm. Two novel combinations, seemingly contradictory turning points, contain wonderful rationality.
The poet gave this poem with only two sentences a grand and intriguing title: a generation. But the content of the poem seems to point to two generations: it is not only a summary and reflection of the previous generation, but also a call and guidance for the next generation.
The image of "dark night" contains a vast and infinite time and space, and implies a deformed and inhuman year and environment, which is itself a tragedy in the development of historical process. It gave me black eyes is the result of the development of this tragedy, and the undertaker of the tragedy is "I".
Because "night" and "black eyes" (the derivative image of "night") are connected by "I", "I" passively became the undertaker of this disaster. Black Eyes is actually a concrete form of alienation, which goes deep into the irreconcilable tragedy between man and the environment.
