Ye Zhi's pursuit of the Irish patriot Modgan is regarded as a touching story in the history of literature.
Ye Zhi has known Modogan for a long time, when Modogan was an actor. Ye Zhi proposed to her, but she refused. Later, Modaogang married an officer, and Ye Zhi insisted on his love for Modaogang until Ye Zhi was 53 years old. The longing and helplessness for love has become an important part of Ye Zhi's poetry. Early poems can be comforted by reading "There is no second Troy" and "Stupidity". "Late poetry is represented by" Be Your Old Man ".
Section 1: When you are old, your hair is gray and you get enough sleep.
Light the fire, take this book,
Read slowly, and the expectation of dreams is soft.
Your eyes, their shadows are deep.
This passage describes the poet's fantasy that Modogan is old and taking a nap by the fire. The poet asked her to take down a collection of poems and relive his feelings for her. Here, the poet turns back time, makes Modogan fall into memory, and recalls the love when he was young.
Section 2: How many moments I love you, the grace period of happiness,
Like your beauty, love or false or true;
But, dear pilgrim soul, you,
And the painful face change of relatives
In this section, the poet hopes that Maud can just feel his feelings for her. The poet contrasted his admiration with others' feelings for her. Showing yourself is a constant admiration, not only for her appearance, but also for her "pilgrim-like soul". This love is eternal and noble.
The third quarter: and the brilliant bar next to the corner,
Noise, it's a pity, how to escape from love
Rhythm and cost,
Cover your face because of a group of stars.
In this section, the poet returns to his imagination. The poet lamented the passage of time, brought his love for Modogan into his own consciousness and entered the unconscious field together (Ye Zhi believed in mysticism and idealism).
