Farewell to Cambridge is a famous work by Xu Zhimo, a modern poet, and also a representative work of crescent poetry. The whole poem takes the emotional ups and downs when leaving Cambridge as a clue to express the deep affection for Cambridge's departure. The language is light and soft, and the form is exquisite and mellow. The poet paints a flowing picture by alternating reality and reality, which constitutes a wonderful artistic conception everywhere.

1June 920 to1October 1922, the poet studied here. The Cambridge period was a turning point in Xu Zhimo's life. The poet once came from director Chen in the preface to the tiger: before the age of 24, his interest in poetry was far less than that in relativity or civil contract theory. It was the river in He Kang that opened the poet's heart and awakened the poet's long-term fate. ?

The whole poem (excerpt) is as follows:

I left quietly, just as I came gently;

I waved my hand gently and bid farewell to the clouds in the western sky.

The golden willow by the river is the bride in the sunset;

Beautiful shadows in the waves ripple in my heart.

Extended data:

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, after staying at the home of the British philosopher Russell for one night, a man quietly came to Cambridge to find his English friend without any notice in advance.

Unfortunately, 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 before his eyes ... because he was in a hurry to meet another English friend, he didn't record this emotional activity.

It was not until he left Marseille by boat on his way home, facing the rough sea and the vast sky, that he unfolded the paper and wrote down his personal feelings about returning to Cambridge this time.
