As Brant's fiancée and the hostess of the pre-wedding salon, Vanessa raised her glass and stood up and said, "Today's salon will start with poetry, I recently read a great poem, and I will read it to you." ”

"Leisure": What will life be like if we are so worried? We can't even stop and gaze. There is no time to stand under the branches of a tree, and gaze at the ...... like a cow or a sheep."

Well......

I have to say that this kind of salon will be quite boring, anyway, Huo Yaowen doesn't like it very much, but seeing Anna, they are all listening carefully to Vanessa's poetry reciting there, but they are also patiently listening to it, and it feels okay to listen to it.

Although it is an English recitation, the yin and yang are frustrated, and they are all very good.

"It's so beautiful, it's a great song!" said Angela Carter.

As Vanessa's fiancé, Brant naturally supported him and praised loudly: "Vanatha, your recitation skills have improved, I feel that I see the endless green ......grassland when I am sad."

The crowd applauded.

Being complimented, Vanessa smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”

After Vanamesa finished reciting and sat down, the man with long hair and a long robe stood up and said, "Then I'll have a song too." ”

Coughing twice, he read aloud with "enthusiasm": "The wise men of the south say that winter is coming, but the heat on my body has not subsided, but they tell me that I am no match for the five colders, no match for the mockery of the devil, I have a kind of freedom, never disturbed by the seasons, my freedom belongs to the ...... of God."

Halfway through hearing it, Huo Yaowen roughly knew that this was probably a church hymn.

This long-haired man in a robe is John Tavenna, the "greatest discovery" of Britain introduced by Brandt before, he is a descendant of the famous Renaissance composer John Taverner, and he is also a famous church composer, whose religious music is popular throughout England, the most famous should be "Song of Athena" and "Candle in the Wind", these two pieces have been dedicated to admirers of Princess Diana in later generations, but neither of these works was composed for Princess Diana's funeral.

With John Tavenna on his heels, the opening of the salon poetry went much smoother, and almost everyone recited a poem of their choice, even Brant and Anna.

In this regard, Vanessa was very happy in her heart, as the hostess of the salon, she provoked a topic of poetry, and was welcomed by everyone, which led to the opening of the salon was extremely smooth, and people who were not familiar with each other were also a little more familiar with each other after their own recitations.

"Next ......"

After listening to Anna recite the famous philosophical poem "If Life Deceives You", Vanessa was happily preparing for the next topic, when David Lodge said, "Wait Vanatha, I think one of us has not recited poetry!"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally set their eyes on Huo Yaowen.

Anna didn't know if Huo Yaowen could write poetry in English, and when she was about to say two sentences, she only heard Huo Yaowen say: "Then I'll recite one too!"

As he spoke, he stood up and glanced at David Lodge, who was sitting opposite, although he didn't know whether this person was intentional or not, but the cunning that flashed in the other party's eyes just now was still captured by him.

In fact, poetry recitation does not mean that everyone has to recite, it depends on everyone's mood, but when everyone recites, Huo Yaowen was arched out by David Lodge again, so naturally he will not be silent.

It's not a difficult task, it's just reciting a poem.

However, after just getting up, Huo Yaowen thought about it for a while, he really couldn't remember those English poems in his mind, and after recalling carefully, he remembered several poems that he had learned when he was studying at the University of Hong Kong.

"The farthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but standing in front of you, and you don't know that I love you......"

This poem "The Farthest Distance in the World", the author has a lot of sayings, one is from Zhang Xiaoxian's "Single Bed in the Purse", and the other is from the famous Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore's poetry collection "Birds".

But no matter what, it is impossible for Tagore to be impossible, because if he really wrote it, it would be impossible to find relevant information on the Internet, and there is no record in his poetry collection, so it is more inclined to Zhang Xiaoxian, and Huo Yaowen is the same.

Anyway, Zhang Xiaoxian should only be four or five years old this year, and she didn't create this poem, so it shouldn't matter if she borrowed it, right?

Yes??

“…… The farthest distance in the world is not the trajectory of the stars that do not meet, but the trajectory that meets but is nowhere to be found in the blink of an eye......"

When Huo Yaowen recited this poem very affectionately, everyone was immersed in it and felt the farthest distance in the world.

“…… The farthest distance in the world is the distance between birds and fish, one soaring into the sky, the other diving deep into the bottom of the sea. ”

When Huo Yaowen finished reciting this poem, Anna said excitedly: "My dear, who wrote this poem? Why have I never read it, this poem is amazing!"

"The farthest distance in the world is the distance between a bird and a fish...... Vanessa is about to get married the day after tomorrow, and after listening to it, she seems to have a deep understanding of this poem, and subconsciously looks at Brant on the side.

At this moment, Brant also looked sideways, and the two looked at each other for a long time, and they both saw a strong love in each other's eyes.

Angela Carter also loved this poem very much, seemingly simple words, but contained not simple love, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Evan, who wrote this poem, why have I never heard it?"

Margaret, who is one of Huo Yaowen's fans, also opened her mouth and asked: "Yes, who wrote this song? ”

John Tavenna, David Lodge, James Clark and others also looked at Huo Yaowen with the same curiosity, although the words of this poem are not very gorgeous, nor those magnificent and brilliant, but in the simple words, it reveals the true meaning of love, this kind of poetry is definitely not made by ordinary people, even if it is made, it should be spread quickly, so that no one in obscurity has heard this "simple and unpretentious" poem.

Seeing that everyone was very curious, Huo Yaowen said slightly "modestly": "I'm sorry everyone, the author of this poem is right in front of your eyes. ”

"Evan, you wrote that?"

"Honey, you wrote this?"

"Uh-huh???"

Not only were they surprised, but Anna was also surprised, she had never heard Huo Yaowen recite this poem, let alone know that he still had the ability to compose poetry!

"Yes, this is a poem I wrote when I saw a picture by chance on the beach. ”

Huo Yaowen said humbly: "One day on the beach, I saw a bird passing by the sea, a fish jumping up from the sea, one in front of the other, and the two lives were intertwined with each other. When I saw this scene, I fantasized about a funny and sad story......"

“…… In this sad story, the birds and the fish are the protagonists. The story is about a bird who, while flying over a beautiful body of water, came across a fish that was floating on the surface of the water and breathing, and its eyes collided and stared for a long time.

They are surprised to find that they have fallen deeply in love with each other.

The birds circled in the air, refusing to fly away. And this fish did not want to sink to the bottom for a long time. However, after all, they are two beings with completely different circumstances, and they are destined to not come together.

Finally the fish sank to the bottom with a deep sigh, and the bird flew away from the waters in sadness. Hurriedly encountered, hurriedly separated.

Since then, the bird has never passed through this beautiful water, the fish has never surfaced, and there is no news, and the sky is ......."

While listening to Huo Yaowen's story, Anna imagined in her mind that on the sea, a bird and a sea fish stared at each other, intertwined with each other, and couldn't help muttering to herself: "What a beautiful picture!"

I don't know if Vanessa is an emotional person, anyway, she cried when she listened to it, and the whole person snuggled into Brandt's arms, wanting to hear it but couldn't bear to listen to this sad story.

Brandt squeezed Vanessa's palm and said, "Honey, I swear that I will always be good to you after marriage." ”

"Mr. Evan, I didn't expect you to be a great poet!" said Margaret, a fan girl, excitedly.

Angela Carter was thrilled and said, "Great! I had the urge to write a fairy tale about this story!"

As soon as these words came out, several people next to them couldn't help but shudder, and they wanted to tell Angela Carter, don't ruin this beautiful story, but they didn't know how to open it.

No way, who asked Angela Carter to write fairy tales that are all dark fairy tales!

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

I don't know who took the lead in applauding, anyway, in the end, more than a dozen people in the living room applauded in unison, full of praise and affirmation for the poem "created" by Huo Yaowen, this simple and extraordinary love story.

These applause made Huo Yaowen sit down a little shyly, but after a moment, he was relieved, after all, who let inspiration fill his brain all the time.

Alas, this damn inspiration!

Maybe it's because Huo Yaowen created this poem, or maybe it's because of the various history, culture, philosophy, movies, religion, etc. that Huo Yaowen talked about in the following topics.

Anna, on the other hand, has been staring at him with adoration and admiration from beginning to end, and it can be said that she is completely caught in it and can't extricate herself.

In fact, Huo Yaowen is not so bullish, but he has a "vision" far beyond the times, and the topics that everyone talks about are only on the surface, a little confused and not deep, and occasionally make one or two sentences of later generations and golden sentences, which is enough to make these people mistakenly think that Huo Yaowen is a talented and knowledgeable person.
