"When french words come out of his mouth, they become a world, a colorful, melodic, fickle world." Some people write into the mind, some people export into chapters, the words will fly in his mouth, composed into a piece of music, and like a cloud, floating in the sky, unable to follow.
Today I would like to share a victor Hugo's "June Night", selected from "Light and Shadow Collection". Romantic like him, let's experience an intoxicating, gentle June night together.
The audio of this issue is excerpted from "Riding on the Wings of Singing: Appreciation of Foreign Lyric Poetry Classics"
June Night
Hugo
When the summer days fade,
A plain full of flowers
It floats in all directions
intoxicating aroma;
The noise of approaching and drifting away rang in the ears,
Close your eyes,
Drifting off to sleep,
Enter a dream of transparency.
The stars are getting brighter and brighter,
A delicate night,
The ethereal sky is draped in hazy colors;
The soft pale dawn looks forward to the moment of taking the stage,
It was as if the whole night had wandered in the distant skyline.
This is a very beautiful lyrical poem, which explains warmth, freshness and tranquility very well, and expresses the poet's feeling of purification and tranquility in the soul of nature.
In the first sentence, the poet feels the summer night from the visual, smelling, and auditory senses, with the blossoming plain as the cradle, and in the intoxicating aroma, the gradual and distant noise is like a lullaby, making the poet seem to enter a transparent dream. The beautiful night is still there, and the transparent dream merges with the night and with yourself.
During this time time is fluid, the poet hovers between sleep and wake, dream and reality, until late at night, the stars become brighter and brighter, and at dawn, the pale dawn appears. The summer night is both true and the dream is true, and the poet seems to have entered the state of no-self, not knowing what is me and what is the thing, and becoming one with nature.
Nature is poetry, and the poet indulges in it, and it also brings us a transparent dream.
