Nancy. Cournot is known as the most beloved muse in the 20th century. Her talent and beauty captivated the whole literary world in the early 20th century, including the famous Pound and Hemingway. What is even more incredible is that three Nobel Prize winners, English poet Eliot, French writer Samuel and Chilean poet Nie Luda, all fell at her feet. In order to gain her favor, they abandoned their previous friendship and turned against each other. Taiwan Province writer Li Ao once said of Nancy: She is a mysterious woman! ? So Nancy. How is Cournot a stunner full of romantic and legendary resumes?
Hurt first love
Three Nobel literary masters turned against each other for a beautiful woman in poetry. 1April, 896, Nancy? Cournot was born in a wealthy shipping family in England. Her childhood was very unhappy, and her father went out hunting and riding all day. My mother was interested in literature and knew a lot about the leading figures in the cultural circles at that time. Because my mother is keen on associating with these celebrities, she has had several extramarital affairs. To Nancy's confusion, her father silently endured all this.
After being admitted to the university, Nancy has no interest in her history major and likes poetry. She always expresses her inner depression and dissatisfaction with family life through those subtle and euphemistic words. Gradually, Nancy's literary works were published in the school newspaper and social journals. Her works are full of relaxation, freedom and concern for human nature. She hates male chauvinism and pursues equality between men and women.
19 14 when the first world war broke out, Nancy, like many young people, entered a? An era of contempt for all kinds of red tape set by parents and society? . At that time, the university campus thought was extremely active, full of various speeches, lectures and debates. Eliot, a Nobel Prize in Literature-winning and world-class poet, came to the school to give a lecture when he was collaborating with a group of literary masters? Literary revolution? Exercise. In Nancy's words, this sport? Completely changed my whole outlook on life? She believes more? The sacred mission of art is to change the course of history? .
? Your arrival is like a bright light, illuminating my night. ? Nancy said excitedly when she took Eliot's poem for him to sign. ? I've seen your work, too. Very aura, just like your lovely appearance. ? Eliot's words suddenly narrowed the distance between literary masters and literary young women. Nancy never dreamed that her little work was seen by her idol.
Nancy at that time was like a fire in Eliot's chest, full of youth, enthusiasm and romance. So one weekend, Eliot kicked Nancy out of the campus. Candlelight, wine, poetry! Eliot and Nancy broke through all concerns and hugged and kissed each other tightly. Their love is as passionate, burning and touching as their poems. ? You are a poem, natural, without any carving! In front of your white and flawless body, all my words look pale and powerless. You are purer than daffodils, but more delicate than roses! ? Seeing Nancy lying naked in bed, Eliot, a great poet, was deeply moved. Once a 40-year-old man falls in love again, he will be crazier than a young man. Eliot refused all entertainment, interviews and even press conferences held for him. He waits by the school every day. He went to pick up Nancy as soon as school was over. Nancy revived him.
However, the good times didn't last long, and the love affair between Eliot and Nancy was quickly discovered by keen media. For a time, the report that Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Eliot was infatuated with young women in literature and art filled the headlines of major media. Eliot's wife and two children angrily condemned his infidelity and infidelity. Public opinion and family pressure hit Eliot together. Similarly, Nancy has to face the stigma of a third party and the pressure from her parents.
? I'm not afraid. Are you scared? Nancy put her arms around Eliot's waist and leaned her head on his thick back. Eliot didn't answer. Nancy leaned over and looked into his eyes. Eliot's silence deeply hurt Nancy's heart, and she resolutely turned away?
For Nancy, in the face of love, a literary master is not as strong as a weak woman, which she did not expect. 19 16, I don't know whether to forget or to heal. Nancy suddenly decided to marry a veteran who was injured in World War I, but they separated in less than half a year. She and her marriage are not destined to belong to ordinary people.
In the next three years, Nancy completely closed her emotional world and devoted herself to poetry creation. Although the heroine in Eliot's classic poem The Waste Land is based on Nancy, Nancy doesn't want such cheap comfort. She wrote a poem "Poor Sight", which was regarded as a glimpse of poetry by the literary world at that time. Some critics think it can be compared with Eliot's The Waste Land? Equality? .
? I hate men who despise women's wisdom and love. ? Nancy publicly stated in the media that, of course, people knew that her remarks were directed at Eliot.
A talented woman who dumps all beings.
192 1 year, Nancy met the famous poet pound under the introduction of Hemingway. Pound's passionate pursuit melted the ice of her emotional world, and she and Pound began a five-year love career. Just as friends were optimistic about this relationship and wished them a smooth marriage, Nancy suddenly left Pound.
Pound was in great pain after being lovelorn. He never married. Pound later went insane and was put in a mental hospital. It was not until 1958 that he ended his 12-year imprisonment in a mental hospital and returned to live in Italy until his death.
Pound compared Nancy to a flame under water in his poem Aria.
My lover is a flame hidden deep in the water/My lover is cheerful and kind/My lover is like an underwater flame/Difficult to find/Finger of the wind/Take her/Vulnerable/Quick greetings/My lover is cheerful and kind/Difficult to meet/Like an underwater flame/Difficult to meet.
Nancy left Pound because she met another Nobel Prize winner, Nie Luda. Nie Luda's talent and personality attracted Nancy more. She felt that she really felt the sweetness of love in Nie Luda. Pound may be a transition and lubrication after her and Eliot's emotional injury.
Nancy and Nie Luda's love lasted for more than a year, and it was not until Samuel appeared that their feelings changed subtly. Samuel and Nie Luda are good friends. They met while living in the United States. Samuel is good at writing plays as well as poems. Samuel often gives Nie Luda movie tickets, while Nie takes Nancy to the theater. Nie Luda is very busy at work. Sometimes he has no time to accompany Nancy to the theatre, so he asks Samuel to take care of Nancy. Samuel not only accompanied Nancy to watch the performance, but also told her his own creative ideas and some interesting things that happened during the creative process. Nancy found that although the drama was wonderful, it was even more wonderful to listen to Samuel's story, because Samuel would set several development directions and endings for the story, and only one of them was performed on the stage.
? In which direction did the plot develop? How did you decide? Nancy asked Samuel curiously. ? Sometimes I'm confused, too. Which ending should I choose for the final draft? Samuel looked into Nancy's bright eyes and said. ? I think you are very powerful and control the fate of the people in the play. If you want their love to have a sweet ending, there will be a happy ending. If you want them to suffer, they will have to decide where you want to go. ? Nancy looked at Samuel admiringly.
Nancy's obsession with drama and her association with Samuel aroused Nie Luda's suspicion and vigilance. He stopped asking Nancy and Samuel to go to the theater, and even he didn't take her to the theater himself. Nancy was angry and thought Nie Luda was narrow-minded.
? I like watching plays. Why not let me go?
? I don't want anything that shouldn't happen. ? Nie Luda's answer disappointed Nancy, who has been pursuing the love of equality and mutual trust between men and women. Nancy still goes to the theatre alone. When Nie Luda found out, he went to Samuel's theory and insulted him and Nancy in public. Nancy is very angry. He didn't expect a literary master to hurt his lover and friends out of thin air. She broke up. But what she didn't expect was that Nie Luda found Samuel and wanted to fight with him. Although Samuel likes Nancy in his heart, he has been suppressing that emotion. Nie Luda's rudeness put him in a dilemma. Finally, when Nie Luda came to him with two swords, he was forced to pick up one of them.
On that full moon night, two literary giants held swords and launched an inexplicable duel. As a result of the duel, Samuel was seriously injured. Nie Luda won, but his victory pushed Nancy away from him forever and pushed him to Samuel, whom he defeated.
? Why are you so stupid to fight him? You know we have been wronged. ? Nancy looked at Samuel lying in bed wrapped in bandages and said with heartache. ? Because only my failure and injury can make him eliminate his doubts and injuries to you. ? Samuel's answer skipped Nancy like a warm current.
Nie Luda once wrote a poem dedicated to Nancy: You are a proud and beautiful white swan/Your beautiful image makes the fish in the water stop swimming/Your singing makes the wind lose its direction/But/Please don't fly/I'm afraid of your flying beauty/It turns into falling feathers in the hunter's gunfire. ? What makes Nancy beautiful is not other hunters, but Nie Luda himself.
A bleak and miserable old age
Nancy fell in love with Samuel without hesitation. She loved Samuel with all her heart. She even gave up America, which she loved for many years, and followed Samuel to France. As soon as Samuel returned to France, the enthusiasm and extensive communication of the French people suddenly appeared, and they had entertainment activities every day. Although Nancy also likes social gatherings and parties, the enthusiasm of the French sometimes makes her unbearable, especially when some French women flirt with Samuel regardless of discretion and occasion.
Samuel saw that Nancy had a problem with it, so he put aside some entertainment and sat down to write his play. Nancy takes good care of Samuel's daily life. Samuel's most famous work Waiting for Godot was completed in this period. The first performance of the play in Paris caused a sensation, with more than 300 performances in a row and a packed house.
Samuel's entertainment activities increased again, and Nancy was dissatisfied, but there was nothing she could do except concentrate on poetry. Samuel's frequent lateness and alcoholism made Nancy very uneasy, so she proposed marriage. She thinks that marriage and family will make men feel more responsible. ? Get married? Let's just wait. ? Samuel's refusal made Nancy very sad.
Then a media reporter photographed Samuel and actress Sophie kissing in the car. Sophie is the heroine of the drama Waiting for Godot, beautiful and enchanting. Nancy was very angry. She picked up the newspaper and asked Samuel what had happened.
? She is an actress and I am a playwright. We're just discussing the plot. ? Samuel explained. ? Do you need to kiss to discuss the plot? If there is a further scene, do you have to have sex? Nancy retorted angrily.
? Aren't you engaged in the movement of artistic and sexual freedom in America? Why are you explaining this?
The quarrel ended with Samuel's apology and Nancy's forgiveness.
But less than two months later, another reporter photographed Samuel having sex with another actress in the car. Nancy was completely disappointed with Samuel and her desire to get married.
After breaking up, Nancy returned to America. The hurt of feelings made Nancy have a better understanding of life, and soon she published her second book of poems.
1937 Nancy met an African-American pianist at a concert. It was this black man who made her see the serious discrimination against black people in society at that time. As a result, she published nearly 900 pages of books on black history, condemning racial discrimination. This brought her a lot of trouble and white condemnation. Nancy actively opposes discrimination, bombards fascism and works hard at the same time. Soon, her third collection of poems was published. With the money she got, she built a shelter to provide food for nearly 4000 people.
Nancy has never been married. She gave almost all her money to others, but she was penniless. /kloc-one day in 0/960, Nancy was framed by racists and sent to an insane asylum. 1965, Nancy, who was already haggard, was tortured unconscious in the madhouse. On her 69th birthday, after being released from the madhouse, Nancy went to a cafe to drink. A few hours later, the police found her in a street. She doesn't even know her name. Nancy died two days later.
Nancy. Cournot was a narcissus in Eliot's eyes, a flame under the water in Pound's eyes, a white swan in Nie Luda's eyes, and a song of despair that Samuel kept singing? Perhaps it is the praise of these love poems that keeps Nancy pursuing poetic passion and romantic love. Unfortunately, love needs poetry to embellish, but it can never be as perfect as poetry.
