"Return" is a famous lyric poem by Manuel dos Santos from Lima. The poet used a pen full of affection to express the nostalgia of the wanderer and describe the loneliness. The unique hometown scene reflects the returning tourists' sincere love for their hometown. It is fresh in style, full of fun, and exudes a strong flavor of life.
The wanderer who left home finally returned home. In his hometown, "mothers are looking forward to it", and there are "colorless" and "banners of desire" "swaying in the wind", looking forward to it again. Welcome back the wanderer. The wanderer's mood was exciting, and the people in his hometown who missed him were also excited. The wanderer heard the "loud song" that welcomed him, "spreading into the distance", until it reached the "starry huts" where he thought about it day and night. And the mothers waiting eagerly beside the hut. The poem does not spend a few words describing how the mother misses her son, nor does it describe how the son misses his hometown. It just uses the words "looking up" and "singing" to express the inseparable bond between mother and son. It was shown sincerely and very touchingly.
The poet did not write from his son's homesickness, a common theme in sojourn literature, but from his mother's expectations for her son. It seemed that he was not concerned about his hometown, but that his mother regretted not being able to reunite. It seems that my situation of being alone in a foreign land is not worth talking about, but my mother's waiting is more considerate. This kind of conception is full of twists and turns, which is unexpected. It does not write about oneself and thinking about others, but writes about others thinking about oneself. It shows the depth and intensity of thinking about oneself, and it more and more shows the deep love between mother and child and the deep homesickness of "I". Writing about his mother eagerly waiting for him at the door is actually to express the longing of the "traveler" for the "people at home". The pen is written opposite, which is subtle and profound. The use of the word "looking forward to" has a strong emotional color. People with travel experience can easily imagine how deep and painful this longing and concern is! This word is short and long-lasting, thought-provoking, highlighting the mother's endless affection and love for her son.
The wanderer thought of the day of farewell, and the moments of farewell were still vivid in his mind. It was the same scene, but people had different moods. They also sang songs at that time, but they were "parting songs." Folks Sending their children off in the "dusty" "streets." Since the moment they sent their children on the journey, they have been waiting for their children who are drifting away and running on the front line. The recurring image "flag" in the poem also understands people's mood. It is a witness to people's reunion and separation. In the poet's writing, it also has human emotions. During the time when the wanderer left home, the "flag" was swaying in the wind, waiting, until it became "colorless", and it still stayed with people and hoped with them. "The floor covered with reed mats" aroused endless thoughts and memories of the son who left home, making him recall the scene of family gatherings. This is not only the poet's own voice at this moment, but also conveys the world's passion Some feelings. The whole poem is introduced with "colorless flag". The flag fully understands the poet's feeling of having no choice but to leave his native land and wander in a foreign land. The flag comforts his lonely wanderer's heart. The flag is the spiritual pillar of the wanderer's lonely journey, and the flag is also related to the poem. Like people in my hometown, there are sorrows and joys, pains and joys, and human emotions. "When I look at things, the old things all have my color." The scenery in the poem is full of human emotions. Finally, when "the cry of a newborn baby was ringing," the son who had been away from home for many years came back.
The language of the whole poem is smooth and natural, full of emotion, and the rhythm is bright. Although the image is simple, the artistic conception is full of African characteristics. It is a highly general and extremely natural expression of the young poet living abroad's deep longing for his home and relatives. The faint beauty that oozes through the words can not only soothe the pain and sadness in the soul, but also bring about many beautiful memories of the past, leading readers into a realm of far-reaching meaning.
