*The product of late-night gibberish, which contains a large number of quotations from the original text When I read The Sword Poems for the first time, I was used to reading vernacular online texts, and I always felt that I had difficulty reading general literary and artistic works, so I just read it hastily. I was deeply moved by the love between Karajan and Vicente at the end. Karajan's selfish, impulsive, and desperate amnesia curse, and Vicente's spontaneous curse that followed his heart, made me scream to death. While I was completely moved by the soulmate feeling between the two, I also felt that my hasty browsing wasted the metaphors of the plot and emotional lines in the author's carefully created poems, so I immediately started to re-read it, and I have been completely conquered by this article ever since. I have always wanted to write a long review for this article when I was writing the third review. In the dead of night, I would like to take this opportunity to talk about the love between Kawi and Kawi that I am most fascinated by. As soulmates, Kawi's souls resonate with each other, but they actually have different views on how to deal with things. Generally speaking, Vicente is more optimistic about everything, while Karajan is more pessimistic. I think this is clearly demonstrated in the two people's concepts of love. Karajan was the one who realized and acknowledged love earlier, but he never believed in the existence of love. From the beginning of their acquaintance until being pressed by Vicente, Karajan had never expressed his emotions to Vicente directly, and some were just tests and hints. The former is like asking Vicente what name he will give his autobiography, throwing it into Vicente's hand first in the hope of walking with him to the old night-glory grass, and asking Vicente if he can become the faith that will accompany him throughout his life. The latter is like using the promise made by Eugene and the molten rose placed at the door of Vicente's house after he won the competition. He will be alone with mixed feelings about this emotion, but either because of the oath and the hatred of the country, or because of the secrets that cannot be said, or because of Vicente's ignorance, he will not speak out his love directly, as it is written in "To Parlier", "She There are many fiery words, but they only burn her heart and cannot be conveyed by those two charred lips; she has many secrets about the universe, about the progress of mankind, about signs that Parlier does not know, about her soul." Karajan actually had no hope for this love. He finally admitted to Vicente that his love was also because "the way forward was bleak and the way back was cut off. He no longer had the right to look forward and backward, so he wasted his time to say everything until the last moment. In order to prevent his love from being buried in the dust without anyone knowing, and becoming an unswept grave after she left." , So after expressing his deepest plea of "please fall in love with me too", he did not expect to hear Vicente's response, because he believed that "love is always so difficult in a life like hers. After she took one step, she had to take another long step before she reached Parlier", and that long step was something he might never be able to take again. There is a paragraph in the article that directly describes "love": "Some people believe that love must be sincere, while others let their instincts lock their hearts. Some people can know where love is when their eyes meet for the first time, so they face the rugged and difficult obstacles. Some people are lucky enough to reach the end at the beginning, but they are still ignorant of the situation they are in." I think the former describes Karajan, and the latter is Vicente. Although I believe that I must be sincere and sincere, and I dare to face the ups and downs, difficulties and obstacles, I don't think that I can make the best of things, and I don't think that I can make all the hardships come to an end. So until the end, when Vicente lost his memory, he told him that he loved him and told him that it was impossible for him to not love him before. Karajan still couldn't believe that he could have love, and he didn't dare to ask Vicente if he loved him after he regained his memory. Because "I am such a person", an assassin who runs counter to peace and has blood on his hands, a lonely man who walks on the cliff path with a heavy head and a heavy distrust and indignation. (Although this line belongs to Emma, and according to the character correspondence, it should correspond to Vicente, but in fact, I think this line is also very suitable for Karajan's state of mind. Contrary to Karajan, although Vicente was ignorant about love, he became particularly proactive once he realized love. Just like during the months of amnesia, after Vicente realized that he fell in love with Karajan, he began to pursue Karajan in various ways. And I think the difference between the two people is most vividly displayed in their attitudes towards another fragment of "To Parlier": "But they will inevitably meet, just like the most brilliant starlight in the sky that night; even if two stars fall and sink deeply together, they will merge into dust on the ground and make the most deafening sound." Vicente liked to add this paragraph after the text about hopelessness in love, but Karajan was noncommittal about it. Vicente firmly believed that love would eventually come. Even after feeling Vicente's love, Karajan did not dare to covet or ask for love. Just when Vicente recovered his memory and decided to leave, Karajan played the piano for him again. When Vicente heard Karajan play the piano for the first time in Yuzhen, Karajan said, "If you want, I can play it to you anytime. Except when I can no longer." The piano at this time was like a farewell. After all, they could not meet or merge, so he would not ask Vicente if he loved him again. The pessimistic attitude from beginning to end indeed made Karajan's love hopeless, but Vicente happened to be an optimistic and proactive person, so when Karajan wanted to pretend that nothing had happened and push everything back to the original point, Vicente swore such a curse. I can't imagine the shock in Karajan's heart after hearing this oath, but no matter how many times I replay this episode, I will always be deeply shocked. Karajan, who had never received love before, received such love all of a sudden. No matter how many comets sent him off, it would be difficult to express the shock in his heart. "My life has been full of twists and turns, and I only really survived in the long dark night. If there are rocks along the way, they are the monuments I carved for him every step of the way. If there are streams and mountains along the way, they just become his eyebrows." Fortunately, after the bumps and hardships, they finally walked hand in hand, and Vicente finally decided to name his autobiography "Karajan". I like the complementarity between the two in love very much. It can be said that without such Vicente, it would be difficult to have Kawei's HE, giving Vicente the name of HE God of War. After watching the extras about the different world lines of the entity, it can be seen that the initiative in love between the two of them always lies with Vicente, and Vicente is the one who will bravely seize love. At the end of the play "Irma", Vicente said that God will bless every love, and he also believes that God will bless every love of yours. No matter when you meet each other, you will gain the best love from each other. Having written so much indiscriminately, I feel deeply that my own language is lacking, and I can only express myself by quoting a large number of original texts. I really like this novel, it matches all my fantasies about romance. Fortunately, I didn't forget about it after reading it hastily for the first time, otherwise I would miss such a delicate and beautiful love. Perhaps the most regretful thing is that I only encountered this novel in 2024. It has been so long since it was finished. It is my loss that I did not meet Kawei earlier. TAT thanks the author for creating such a beautiful magical world. I am even more grateful to the author for creating two wonderful people like Karajan and Vicente. Most grateful to the author for allowing me to witness this most romantic love.
I would like to call "Blades and Lines of Poetry" my best of 2025 (although this year has only started less than three months ago, I can already confirm it). It is unbelievable that such a good drama script and lines as "To Parlier" are only used as embellishments of the love song between two people in the book... There are also countless original poems, rich and passionate unrestrained emotions... This is really an excellent novel. The author is so versatile. He uses metaphors, personifications, exclamations, and various descriptions vividly. Countless poems and lines are everywhere. Although the writing style has hints of gorgeousness, but there is no piling up of words, it is completely a revelation of true feelings... I will really cry over and over again for this novel. Vicente and Karajan must be together forever [crying] [crying] [crying]
It's rare to see a novel that makes me want to write a long review. I have been reading novels for ten years, and almost every year I come across a novel that I particularly like. I listed every novel and later compared it, and found that I really have a very obvious preference. And I'm very happy that this book hits all of my hobbies. The author's language style, I would say, is like the blooming Charon flower in Horstave. Many times I feel uncomfortable when I read this kind of "show off" language, because often the authors lack a certain degree of literary literacy and can only fill it in with deliberately showy rhetoric, using Baidu search, Little Red Book, and Zhihu. But in the process of reading when I was not particularly focused, I could feel the soul from the book sincerely. I can feel the real wisdom in the language of literature and art, and the author's loving words. The last one that gave me this feeling was "Persian Assassin". The entire novel is set in a Western setting, and there is neither a fancy translation nor an inappropriate Eastern intonation. This is really rare. Too many novels describe characters with overly exaggerated moods in pursuit of an "immersive" Western experience. Even in the literary translations on the market today, there are examples of Western principles being explained in a Chinese tone, resulting in articles that are a mixture of Chinese and Western and are artificial. However, the novel only uses the right language and description to outline an illusory but real iron-hearted and tender Western continent. When you are immersed in the scene, the author's writing style is like a real bard. Regarding the plot of the story, it is difficult not to applaud me. The era of homogenization of online novels has begun, and it is difficult for me to remember the last plot that made me suddenly realize it. Most of the humanistic and popular sweet stories lack the conflicting ups and downs that novels should have. A few of them explore the hypocrisy of real society and are obviously lacking in strength. Some of them create "unexpected" plots through the drama of reincarnation in the past and present lives. Of course, that's not to say it's not good. There are many novels in these categories that I like and others like. It just means that when I saw the death of Sean's father, saw Professor Smith's drawer, and saw the letter after Ryan's death, I could feel that they were living people, and I could only feel my heart beating wildly outside the screen. Finally, let's talk about Sean and Karajan. There was a long review earlier that said they were a "match of souls", and I think it was summed up quite nicely. Just as a poet is obsessed with literature, a soldier throws his blood on the battlefield. The artistic soul, profound knowledge, troubled past and mission of taking responsibility make the two people uniquely attracted to each other. To be honest, the black-haired and blue-eyed Ryan is more in line with my preferences, but among Sean, I can really feel the wonder of love. Even if Ryan has been a professor for five years and has the same position and incomparable appearance and ability, the withered blue bouquet can only be used as a beautiful bookmark. Under the flames of war, the girl in the port of Akapolis can only wait for the sailors to sail. All in all, "The Blade and the Line" perfectly illustrates the core of the novel. His focus has never been just on love, but on the struggle between family and country, as well as on class, science, and ethics. Love is just a condiment that gives color to the characters. No matter how turbulent the war was between the north and the south, the air in Horstave was always clean and clear. From campus to battlefield, I hope Charon flowers will bloom forever. After reading it, I felt that it had no other meaning.
Thank you! Francisco! Take us to eat sweets from the past! This is not good in the first person. Vicente may have become accustomed to the interactions between teacher and student! Little do you know how sweet these bits and pieces are! ! I really want to read the autobiography "The Life of the Great Vicente" hhhh. The ambiguous relationships between those involved without knowing it may have been a three hundred round battle in the eyes of onlookers! ! Woohoo, this couple is so sweet.
It's very well written. I have treasured it for several years. Thank you for writing such a work.
I have always liked Western fantasy novels, but it was so late that I came across such a perfect article for me. I did not hesitate to put it in the category "Masterpiece", and then I found that the author has not written any other articles since then. . I will read this book over and over again. . Although the chapter begins in an academy, with magic and swords, the entire article does not focus on the strength of abilities, and the improvement of the protagonist's force is briefly mentioned. At first I was a little worried when I saw the writing of the fight, but later I realized that this kind of natural and inevitable fight with different stances was really well described. Needless to say, the emotional line between the two people is very natural and romantic. The emotions are conveyed through poetry in the article. It was also the first time that I felt the beauty of poetry.
Ahhhhhh everyone is so cute? It makes my body spots fade.
Great, is this the joy of digging for treasure?
It's super chat! Physical books are stupid in North America
The leaf in Karajan's hand, the professor is so gentle, kdlkdl
