In the pale blue clouds of the sea,

There is a lonely sail shining with white light! ……

What is it looking for in a distant place?

What did it leave in its lovely hometown? ……

The waves are rough-the sea breeze is whistling,

The mast arched and rattled. ...

Well, not looking for happiness,

It's not to escape happiness and run to the other side!

Below is a blue wave clearer than the blue sky.

It's golden yellow and sunny. ...

It prayed anxiously for the storm to come,

There seems to be peace in the storm!

Appreciation of the Sail of lermontov

Sail is an outstanding lyric poem of landscape philosophy with symbolic significance. It is not only a wonderful description of the landscape, but also a thought-provoking philosophical implication. The whole poem rhythmically alternates two sets of shots: one is the picture of the sea with sailboats; The poet standing on the shore thought for a while after seeing the picture above.

The poet's eyes first stayed on the sea floating with solitary sails. Many people have seen this painting more than once in their lives, but lermontov linked it with the fate of the poet, giving life to the sail and making it personalized. The sea is foggy, symbolizing a young man who has just entered the ocean of life and feels uncertain about his future, which leads to a question full of suspense: "What is it seeking, in a distant place?" /What did it leave in its lovely hometown? "

Then, the scene of the sea suddenly changed. A strong wind blew and set off a huge wave. The strong wind rolled the huge wave and pressed it to the top of the sail deck, but it did not make the sail retreat. It arched the creaking mast, which obviously means that it is braving the wind and waves and going forward bravely. This painting symbolizes that young people are struggling with bad environment. The poet sighed with emotion and sent out two seemingly contradictory proverbs, but deep thinking makes sense: "Alas! It is not seeking happiness,/nor escaping happiness! " The previous sentence shows that it is very hard for a person to fight against the environment and it will not be smooth sailing. In this sense, he is not seeking happiness. But, can you say that he runs away from happiness? No, he thinks that struggle and hard work are fun and will bring greater happiness.

After the storm, the sea returned to calm, the clouds cleared and the sun was shining. It symbolizes that young people live a secular and happy life. But this is not what the sail pursues. This is the happy life it left in its hometown. It seeks the storm of revolution. So it prayed for the storm, thinking that only in the storm can it get peace. It shows that the poet does not want to spend his life in a muddle, but to embody the meaning of life through tenacious struggle and continuous progress.

Of course, we can't simply attribute "sail" to body double, a poet. It is a symbol of that generation of young people and aristocratic revolutionaries. However, the spirit of hard work and enterprising explained by lermontov in the poem Sail is still of positive significance to our young people today. This sailboat, with its sails always open, shines with white light in the sea, inspiring people to seek freedom and happiness!

In lermontov's poetry treasure house, Sail is a brilliant masterpiece. It is not only a masterpiece in his early poems, but also a rare masterpiece in all his creations and even in the whole history of Russian poetry. The famous composer Walter Lamauve also composed it into a lyric song.

"Sail" is a poem about materializing feelings. The poet, a solitary sail floating on the vast sea, hinted at his loneliness and depression after being forced to move to St. Petersburg because of expelling the reactionary professor of Moscow University. Poets, like sails, float on the sea of Wang Yang in the world. The fog covered his future, and the wind and waves inspired him to fight. Even the red sun and the blue stream can't calm his heart. He can only look forward to the storm. Wandering in pursuit, pursuing in hesitation, this is Fan's character and also the mentality of the lyric hero.

This poem is full of beauty, jumping and romance. The aloof character is manifested in contrasting images: sea and solitary sail, foreign land and hometown, search and escape, red sun and blue waves, storm and tranquility ... according to the logic of imagination, it consists of three montage shots (one poem contains one shot). These three shots were taken from the sea and air in different weather, showing obvious jumps between them, but it was from different shooting angles that they were combined into a complete sail image. The first shot is a picture of a lonely sail in a foggy sea, which conveys a wanderer's sense of confusion at the end of the world. He wants to pursue in this vast sea, but he doesn't know what to pursue. He wants to turn back, but what is there to miss? The second shot is a painting of "sailing on a turbulent sea", which conveys the sense of urgency against the wind and waves. The turbulent waves set off the ups and downs of the heart, but it is puzzling that the sail is neither looking for happiness nor avoiding happiness. It must be looking for something else, but what is it? The third shot depicts the scene of "strange sails on the blue sea", conveying a sense of rebellion. It was calm and sunny, but the sails were praying for a storm. Oh! It turned out that only in the storm did he find a peaceful country. Beautiful and calm tranquility is just a kind of false tranquility, just like the song and dance of the upper class under Nicholas I's autocratic rule. This fantasy must be broken by the storm in order to truly find the peaceful realm of the natural and spiritual world. This is the symbolic meaning of the sail.

The structure of the poem is extremely rigorous, except that the three sections are all one or two lines of scenery description and three or four lines of lyric, the last two lines of each section are closely connected and always revolve around the value orientation of the sail. The first section asks: "What are you looking for"; The second section answers this question negatively: I am not looking for happiness, nor am I running away from it; The third sentence answers the previous question: Fan is looking for the storm, because the storm breeds peace, which is the real happiness he wants to pursue.
