Since childhood, I have been alone, taking care of the stars of the past. How to understand?

Understanding: Although the poet has lived all his life, he has filtered out all the people around him and in society. He is the only one who directly talks to the stars. He has been alone since childhood. He can be said to be "unprecedented by the ancients" "No one will be seen again." There is no limit to the world's fireworks.

Are these stars from past dynasties distant stars or famous figures from past dynasties who shine brightly in the annals of history? The word "take care of" is also worth pondering. The distant and eternal stars are actually weak in the eyes of the poet.

The first sentence of this poem is in quotation marks, which is a disguised quote from the Danish philosopher Kierkegaard's "Selected Diaries of Kierkegaard". The original words are "Since childhood, I It has become the spirit."

This sentence comes from: Bai Helin's poem "Loneliness"
