This poem was written by Xu Zhimo on his way home after his third trip to Europe. The time is1928165438+10. The place is China. One summer at the end of July, he stayed at the home of British philosopher Russell for one night without prior notice.
A man quietly came to Cambridge to look for his English friend. It's a pity that none of his English friends are here. Only Cambridge, which he is familiar with, is waiting for him silently. The scene of his past life reappeared in front of his eyes, and then he began to write down his personal feelings about returning to Cambridge this time.
The poem "Farewell to Cambridge" consists of seven sentences, each with four lines, each with two or three meals, which is eclectic and rigorous. It rhymes with two or four rhymes, cadence and catchy.
This beautiful rhythm ripples like ripples, which is not only the voice of pious students seeking dreams, but also conforms to the ebb and flow of poets' emotions and has a unique aesthetic pleasure. The seven verses are strewn at random, and the rhythm spreads slowly in them, which is quite a poet's temperament of "white robe and thin suburban island". It can be said that it embodies Xu Zhimo's poetic beauty thought.
A Farewell to Cambridge fully embodies the "three beauties" of the Crescent Poetry School, namely, the beauty of painting, architecture and music. The beauty of music is what Xu Zhimo emphasizes most. The first sentence and the last sentence are repetitive, which strengthens the sense of rhythm, and the words overlap, such as "quiet", "gentle" and "silence". And every poem is rhymed, because the feelings have changed, so it is not a rhyme in the end.
Then there is the tone scale, "I left softly", the three-character scale, the one-character scale and the two-character scale, which are in line with Xu Zhimo's lively and active character, and then rhyme. The so-called architectural beauty, one or three first, two or four second, empty strewn at random, the building has changed.
In addition, one or three sentences are short and two or four sentences are long, showing visual beauty. Music is auditory, painting is visual, visual beauty and auditory beauty are integrated, and it will feel good to read. Let's talk about the beauty of painting, that is, the beauty of words, such as "Golden Willow", "Soft Wave", "Xinghui", "Soft Clay" and "Soft", which are colorful, dynamic and feminine.
