Xu zhimo

The most is the gentleness of bowing,

Like a lotus, it can't overcome the shyness of the cool breeze.

Take care, take care,

There is sweet sadness in the treasure-

Shian, Nora.

This poem is the last poem in the series of "Eighteen Poems by Anna". Eighteen poems by Annola were included in the August edition of 1925. In the second edition, the first 17 poems were deleted (see the collection of poems outside the collection), and only this one was left, named Nora of Shi 'an (Japanese girl).

Extended data:

This poem was written on 1924 during the author's visit to Japan with Indian poet Chingol. This farewell poem is also the swan song of Xu Zhimo's lyric poems, which has been passed down by people all the time.

1924 In May, Tagore and Xu Zhimo visited the Japanese island country hand in hand. In the article "Fallen Leaves" written after returning to China, he also deeply felt the unique amorous feelings of Japanese girls in Japan. Therefore, another commemorative work of the trip to Fusang is the long poem "Shi Anna La".
