This book made me feel Xu Zhimo's pursuit of love, truth and affection, just like what he wrote in his poem, "I will look for my only soul mate in the vast sea of people." I had just gotten married and was on the way to find my soul mate. Xu Zhimo's words made me even more convinced that true love exists. His poetry and prose are both beautiful and touching. However, I don't like some of Xu Zhimo's emotional behaviors. Although he pursues true love, he also causes harm to some people. Overall, this is a book worth reading that can make people think more about love and life.
"Quietly I left, just as quietly as I came; I waved my sleeves, not taking away a single cloud." "Farewell Cambridge" is a concrete reflection of Xu Zhimo's lifelong pursuit of the ideals of "love, freedom, and beauty." The idealistic emotional expression in the poem is divided into two levels: one is the memory of the past life of studying abroad in Cambridge, and the other is the recollection of the love frustrations of that year. "Quietness is the shengxiao of parting." This kind of quietness and exclusivity is also beautiful and full of poetry. Silence is a kind of wonderful and happy music.
When I read "Farewell Cambridge", I thought it was a work about farewell, but it is not so much a farewell as a word of oath. "Gently I leave, just as I came gently, I wave gently, without taking away a cloud." The author's free and broad state is written in the front, just as I came, free, calm and natural. The last two sentences are waving goodbye, which is the author's reluctance to leave. Not taking away a cloud also shows how free and easy he is. He has no love for his children, and no tears in his eyes. Although you are sad in your arms, you can show your naturalness and grace, because your mind is open and you can tolerate sadness more easily.
Poems and prose, if you calm down and read them, you can appreciate the beauty in them.
Taking the homesickness of wanderers as the theme, it expresses the author's longing for his hometown and relatives. In this poem, the author uses delicate, smooth and contagious language to describe the beautiful scenery of Cambridge and his thoughts here, but finally decided to leave this beautiful place. At the same time, he expressed his longing for his relatives and the pain he had experienced. In addition, the artistic characteristics of this poem lie in the in-depth exploration of poetic imagery and exquisite academic processing, showing the poet's superb literary attainments and depth of thought, and leading the development of modern Chinese poetry at that time.
After reading it, I feel that my soul has been sublimated.
"Farewell Cambridge" has been loved by generations, not only because of the outstanding artistic beauty of this poem, but also because of the beauty it expresses. "Gently I leave, as gently as I came; I wave gently to bid farewell to the clouds in the western sky." This simple sentence seems elegant and free, but it shows helplessness, reluctance and melancholy. The parting melancholy in it makes people sigh. The first few sentences jump around with the poet's emotions, and they gently send the quiet and sad emotions to the readers.
I have always liked Xu Zhimo's poetic style, which is extremely romantic and very emotional. Reading his poems will make your heart completely calm.
Feel the beauty in poetry and appreciate the charm of poetry and prose
