Chapter 1: After reading Tagore's Selected Poems, it seems that reading Tagore's Selected Poems has brought us into that era. Let's echo from afar. His feelings are so deep, rich and delicate. The chapters of poetry are small and exquisite, or dazzling. Tagore used his unique thoughts and wisdom to enlighten and think about the world.
The first time I read his poems, my heart thumped and I wanted to continue reading. I washed away lead-stained Gitanjali, lyrical and romantic Gardeners, exquisite and emotional Fireflies, philosophical and wise Birds, and Wings of Death ... Tagore dedicated this fresh and profound ideological wealth to us and ruled it out. It is the inner monologue of a great poet who grew up in the ocean of Indian literature, wandered in the moonlight of Indian art and was deeply influenced by the culture at that time. It is Tagore's understanding of life, his thinking of the universe and his reverie of life.
In the poet's pen, we feel the joy of birds, the lightness of yellow leaves, the agility of running water, the bright moonlight, the silence of swimming fish and the noise of animals. Nature is so beautiful and life is so bright.
"Viper,/spits poisonous breath everywhere,/speaks gentle words,/sounds like ridicule. Therefore, before I die,/let me pay my deepest respect to people everywhere who are preparing for/fighting the devil. " . Tagore wrote it. His sharp, sarcastic style attacked Hitler, who was arrogant in Central Europe. Poetry is impassioned, which contains patriotic affection and international humanitarian spirit. Tagore was a patriot, philosopher and poet. His poems reveal his enthusiasm for the motherland, sympathy for women and love for children. With strong love, there will be strong hatred. When everything he loves is violated, he will give a strong roar. His love and hate are like the waves of the sea, rippling around the world.
Indians say that Tagore's poems are children born in a European bird's nest, and his plays, novels and essays … all exude a strong atmosphere closely related to ordinary workers. In the fields, at sea and in all other places where people work, workers sing Tagore's poems to express their happiness and melancholy. His people love him!
Tagore's poems are not as magnificent as Pushkin's, as thrilling as Byron's and as delicate as Xi Murong's. His poems are always silent but very harmonious, and each of his poems exudes a fiery spiritual spark, illuminating the readers' hearts. His poems are as full of vigor and vitality as the spring tide. Although the poet has experienced so many ups and downs in his life, his philosophy and thoughts are happy and full of light. After tasting Tagore's poems, my mind was purified unconsciously. Ideas can also be sublimated. He is like my mentor and friend, which has benefited me a lot.
Chapter Two: Comments on Tagore's Selected Poems Tagore is indeed an elusive poet. He sometimes listens in the Woods, sometimes sings in the valley, sometimes plays with birds in the sky, and sometimes hides at the bottom of the sea without a trace. What remains unchanged is that he will never be stingy with the pen in his hand and compose all the stories that touch his heart into beautiful poems. My favorite is the song "Birds and Fish".
"The farthest distance in the world is the distance between a fish and a bird. One is in the sky and the other is deep in the sea. " Fish and birds are creatures in two different worlds, with almost no distance, but Tagore wrote in a poem. They are endowed with complicated feelings, and only when they have feelings for each other can they comment on the distance. What is the affection between fish and birds? We can only guess endlessly.
Most people will think that this is a love poem with beautiful vows and romantic rhythm. However, I think this is a generalization and sublimation of life.
It contains deep affection, just like The Distance between Trees. We are brothers born from the same root, but we can't support each other and snuggle up to each other. We just look at it from a distance, and we don't know whether it is blessing or jealousy in our eyes. Some even fight with each other, regardless of the feelings between brothers. Perhaps in their eyes, there is no blood, no brothers, no brotherhood. What makes these feelings fade away? Is it superficial or superficial heart?
Of course, there is also friendship in poetry, just like The Track of the Stars. However, this friendship seems to have been stranded. Originally, the two stars were intimate, but there was no "intersection trajectory". The reflection between the stars is nowhere to be found in a short time. Yes, in the vast sea of people, I really can't find a bosom friend, so I have to resign myself to fate. But in such a competitive society, who can recognize the real fate at a glance? Often this is the reason why people are confused and helpless.
Love is an eternal topic in poetry and the deepest emotion. Its sacredness makes people dare not offend, and its distance makes people hard to touch. Although I can't feel the sadness and pain of "I miss you deeply, but I can only bury it in my heart", I can't feel the helplessness and desolation of "I am infatuated with love, but I can't say I love you", I can't feel it, but I see sincere love from hysterical crying, and the distance becomes insignificant.
A song "Birds and Fish", a song of joys and sorrows, asked what is the farthest distance, I said, as long as there is love, there is no distance.
Chapter three: Reflections on Tagore's Selected Poems. After reading Tagore's Selected Poems, I have a lot of thoughts. Yes, Tagore's stones are always so rich, full of charm and ideas, which can easily resonate with readers. When I was reading his poems, I seemed to have a heart-to-heart conversation with a great man.
Tagore's Selected Poems contains most of Tagore's famous works, including political poems, religious poems and lyric poems. Among them, I like to watch Tagore's New Moon Collection, which describes children's lives.
The poems in "New Moon Collection" seem to be scattered stories, but connecting them in series shows Tagore's pure childlike innocence. Tagore wrote his own reflection on life, yearning for and pursuit of a better life, and strongly expressed his love for a better life, nature and hometown. In a word, Tagore regards "love" as the ideal of human beings, which complements and closely combines with his humanitarian thought.
Take a poem "Sympathy" in his "Crescent Moon Collection" for example. A passage in the poem reads: "If I were a puppy instead of your child, dear mother, would you say' no' to me when I want to eat something on your plate?"
"Are you going to kick me out and say,' Go away, you naughty dog'?"
"So, go, mom, go! When you call me, I will never come to you and never ask you to feed me. "
After reading this paragraph, I strongly felt the theme of this poem-"sympathy". Yes, every parent will love their children. But if it is a puppy or other small animals, can people still give them at least sympathy? To some extent, love for children is selfish, because children are their own. How many people can achieve true fraternity, spread love to all sentient beings, to nature, and to every grass and tree around them? When we meet a poor, helpless, hungry and helpless puppy, can we still give it the least sympathy? In this world, how many little creatures are still struggling for survival and how many poor people are still struggling for life, all of which deserve our sympathy.
There are many such poems. Not only are their words beautiful, but more importantly, they can arouse our endless thinking. This is the unique charm of Tagore's poems, which makes me feel his ideological theme-love.
Chapter four: after reading Tagore's poems, I feel that Tagore's poems are like delicate fruits, delicate and lovely; Gently bite, but it is full of juice, full of meat, with endless aftertaste. Those figurative metaphors are vivid personification, like summer breeze and water sprite running in rainy days-light and moving, floating and silent, soft and continuous; Touchless but vivid, fluent, casual and profound. ...
These verses have no beginning or end. No matter where you start to appreciate it, you can naturally blend in, as if you have entered a world, Tagore's world. As gentle and changeable as water, this is the characteristic of these poems and their charm.
In Tagore's poem, there is an unusual sentence that touched me. "Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves." What kind of quiet and peaceful state should it be? No, it is lively, it is silent, and it is comfortable between these two seemingly impossible extremes. In other words, it is describing a kind of life-a clean and regretless life.
"Summer flowers" may refer to the era of the cross. I can squander a lot of my youth unscrupulously, I can pursue my dreams by all means, and I can even be willful and stubborn. This is also where we stand on the time axis at the moment. Looking forward, I can't see myself in the future, I can only look back at my past image, and I can't help laughing and cursing, carefree. Just like the canna that just appeared in summer, it is brave, optimistic and enterprising, and has a solid future. It seems that she only needs a little water to shine.
It's just that everything has two sides, and if it is gorgeous, it will be sad. However, this sentence has broken people's usual way of thinking and replaced it with the word "quiet beauty". In this way, the whole sentence lacks the ups and downs of sadness and joy contrast, and has a beautiful and elegant throughout, which has a unique charm to read.
If "summer flowers" are the years of youth, "autumn leaves" are the twilight years. Almost everyone has the vitality of youth, and the tranquility of old age will not benefit everyone. Those unpredictable diseases, disasters and misfortunes are all singing nonstop songs, and maybe the next second will appear in front of you at a speed that you are unprepared. Because of this, we should cherish the perfect moment, and don't let the precious wealth you have at this moment be taken away by time, and we will regret it when we look back many years later.
If we live like summer flowers, please remember-we must bloom brilliantly and finally be beautiful.
Chapter 5: Thinking After reading Tagore's Selected Poems in the summer vacation, I read a new book, Crescent Moon Collection, which is a collection of poems created by Indian poet Tagore. There are many beautiful sentences in it, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
The book says, "After lunch, you sit at the window and read Ramayana. The shadow of the tree falls on your hair and knees, so I cast my tiny shadow on your page, where you are reading, but will you guess that this is your child's shadow? When you light a lamp at dusk and go to the cowshed, I will fall to the ground again. I am still your child. Please tell me a story. " "'My naughty boy, where have you been?' I won't tell you, mommy. I feel from the poem that the child is naughty, but also very innocent and lovely, and very attached to his mother. I am the same as my mother. I often accidentally make her angry, and sometimes I deliberately tease my mother, but my mother always cares about my little mistakes and always loves me. I love my mother, too.
In New Moon Collection, Tagore Jr. has many dreams. Like daydreaming about being a captain. "As long as he is willing to lend me his boat, I will give him one hundred sailors. I will never drive it to a stupid market. I will sail seven seas and thirteen rivers in fairyland. " He also has a little dream. He wants to be a peddler. "I wish I were a peddler, peddling on the road all day,' bracelet! Crystal bracelet! He also wants to be a gardener. "I wish I were a gardener, digging in the garden, and no one would stop me."
I also have many dreams, which are obviously different from Tagore's dreams. I want to be a scientist, invent a time machine and work out a more accurate theory than Einstein's general theory of relativity. I want to be a doctor to help the world heal the wounded and rescue the dying and overcome all diseases. I want to be a soldier and defend my country; I want to be an athlete, win the Olympic gold medal and win glory for my motherland.
People always have great ambitions, but few people can really do what they say. Ambition is very important, but it is action that ultimately determines people's success.
