Chapter 221: A Silent Poem
Su Wen's words made some people at the scene very unhappy.
Although he said it tactfully, the meaning is still too clear, what "I hope everyone can understand", doesn't it mean that maybe everyone can't understand!
"Very obscure poetry", what kind of bullshit is that, will people not understand it? And Su Wen went straight to the point and said that it was a love poem, this kind of tone of poetry, isn't it just a tone of love and love, what else can't you understand?
Besides, most of the people who can come to the poetry salon, even the youngest freshmen, have some research on poetry, otherwise they would not be invited.
In other words, their ability to appreciate poetry is not bad, not to mention that it is just a modern poem about love, which is written by a poet who specializes in rare words like Jiadao Mengjiao, and they are confident that they can understand it. To say that they may not understand a modern poem is also too insulting and too bullying!
Uncle can bear it, aunt can't bear it!
Those bad-tempered students couldn't help but scream and scold:
"Damn Su Wen, it's too underestimated! Do you treat us like schoolchildren? If you don't understand a poem, I think you're going to write it so much that you can't even understand it! ”
"This Su Wen is too arrogant, I kept praising him just now, but now it seems that I am self-inflicted!"
"Su Wen, you can eat Xiang!"
“……”
The chaos of the scene, but some people were quite happy, Xu Huan's face turned gloomy again, and he almost couldn't help laughing, secretly gloating: "Haha! Su Wen: This is the rhythm of death! This guy still seems to be too young and easy to get carried away, and everyone praised him, and his tail cocked, and he even said that he wanted to give us a poem that he didn't understand...... Hehe, I don't understand. Let's let everyone spit on you! If you don't die, you won't die, sure enough, that's the truth, I see how you Su Wen clean up this scene. ”
"What is this guy going to do?" Yi Youran looked puzzled, seeing that Su Wen was indifferent in the face of everyone's accusations, she could only secretly quiet down and guess what Su Wen meant. "This guy looks confident, and he doesn't look like he's lost his mind. That...... What kind of poems are you not incomprehensible? ”
On the other side, the sea finger and the island looked at each other and smiled.
"Interesting, interesting." Haidao laughed and said, "Hai Zhi, just now you said that Su Wen's poem was too white and tasteless, and now he is saying an obscure poem." It may even be said that people may not understand. You say, did he hear your heart and come to such a poem? ”
Haizhi couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Hear my heart? You think he can read minds! Looking at his appearance, it is estimated that he has been preparing for a long time, just waiting for this opportunity. ”
Hai Dao nodded and said puzzledly: "Actually, his song "The Farthest Distance in the World" was based on the reaction of the audience. Even if he doesn't make other poems, he can safely become the star of poetry tonight. Why stir up the discontent of your audience? ”
Haizhi also shook his head and said he didn't know. glanced at Su Wen on the stage and said, "So I'm very curious about his next poems now." I have to say that although his words were a little bullish and aroused the dissatisfaction of the students, they also successfully aroused our curiosity. I look forward to the poems that lie below. Isn't it? ”
Haidao smiled: "I hope he doesn't draw snakes and move bricks to hit his toes." ”
Hai instructed Su Wen to speak, and listened carefully.
On the stage, Su Wen once again raised his hand and pressed down to quiet everyone, and he said without changing his face: "Everyone is very dissatisfied with my words. I already hear it. However, I don't want to explain too much, so please be patient and listen to my poem below. ”
Only then did the crowd fall silent.
Their minds are also very easy to guess, that is, to listen to Su Wen's poetry first, if the level is not enough, then they will cheer - or, even if the poem is well written, if it is not the kind of obscure, they will not give Su Wen face, who let him talk so full!
Under the silence, the hall was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Su Wen, and throughout the night, this moment was the time when they were most focused and focused.
The spotlight swayed on Su Wen's body, shaking his figure bright and dim all at once, and everyone only heard Su Wen take a long breath, and after brewing feelings for a while, he read out a poem smoothly in a cathartic way:
If I love you-
Never like a climbing flower,
Show off yourself by your tall branches:
If I love you-
Never learn from the infatuated birds,
Repeat monotonous songs for the shade;
Nor is it more than a fountain,
Perennial cool comfort;
It's not just like a dangerous peak, increasing your height and setting off your majesty.
Even daylight.
Even spring rains.
No, that's not enough!
I must be a kapok near you,
As the image of the tree stands with you.
roots, clinging to the ground,
Leaves, touching in the clouds.
Every gust of wind passes,
We all greet each other,
But no one
Understands our words.
You have your branches of brass and iron,
Like a sword, like a sword,
also like a halberd,
I have my red flowers,
Like a heavy sigh,
Like a torch of valor,
We share the cold waves, the wind and thunder, and the thunderbolts;
We share the mist, the stream, the haze,
As if forever separated,
But they depend on each other for life,
This is the great love,
Steadfastness is here:
Not only love your majestic body,
Also love the position you stick to and the ground under your feet
……
The poem is very long, with more than thirty lines.
Su Wen's speed of speech was very fast, and he chanted the whole poem at once very smoothly, and his intonation, with the ups and downs of the poem's feelings, sometimes was subdued, sometimes the emotions were warm, sometimes the breath was full, sometimes the low moans, and sometimes the emotions were restrained.
In a word. This poem was read by him with twists and turns, ups and downs.
The audience also followed Su Wen's tone and appreciated the changes in the feelings of the poem.
In the first two paragraphs, Su Wen chanted with very abundant and bright feelings, which grabbed their hearts at once and attracted all their attention:
"If I love you, / Never like a climbing flower. / Show off by your high branches; If I love you-/ Never learn from the infatuated birds, repeat the monotonous song for the shade; //”
Is there a more impactful verse than this?
"If I love you", just five words, sets the tone of the whole poem, this is indeed a love poem. If it is a general poem, then it is either followed by some rhetorical sentences to confirm how love is, or some allusions are used to describe how love is.
However, Su Wen's later text surprised everyone.
Countless noun imagery burst out, the fountain. Dangerous peaks, sunlight, spring rains, kapok, roots, leaves, flowers, cold waves. Wind and thunder, thunderbolts. Mist, neon...... and other imagery, which seems to point to love, but as soon as the "body" and "land" in the back come out, it makes people scratch their heads again.
Is this a love poem? It seems like yes. But is this a simple love poem? It doesn't seem to be.
The listeners' brows furrowed in deep thought.
They have too many questions on their minds. Is this a good poem?
Yes, definitely! No doubt!
Then why don't you give a round of applause, because there is a lot of opinion on Su Wen?
No!
This poem deserves their warm applause, which can make them abandon their preconceptions and praise them loudly. What makes them wonder why those common noun imagery is combined together. But it makes them feel that this love poem is not so easy to understand?
Obscure? It doesn't seem to be able to say, it just makes people suspicious.
"Is it really like what Suvin said, this is incomprehensible poetry? What exactly is he trying to say? ”
When everyone was puzzled, Su Wen, who finished reading the poem, just paused, and remembered his usual voice again: "This is the poem I want to give to everyone, and the name of the poem is "To the Oak Tree". I've finished reading my poems, thank you. ”
After speaking, Su Wen slowly walked off the podium.
Tonight, his mission was accomplished.
After concocting another version of "The World's Farthest Distance", he threw out the more controversial and classic "To the Oak Tree".
Ms. Shu Ting was very unfortunate to fall for Su Wen's tricks, and her famous work "To the Oak Tree" was brought to this world by Su Wen to fool readers.
It is said that Shu Ting is one of the representatives of hazy poetry, and "To the Oak Tree" is her best masterpiece.
Its position in the history of literature is self-evident, after all, it is a masterpiece of poetry, just like Liu Yong's "Yulin Bell" in the Song Dynasty, and Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao" in the bold words? Chibi Nostalgia", it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a masterpiece of the tripod.
The classicity of such poems cannot be questioned.
However, hazy poetry has always been controversial, both called hazy, that is, the theme of these poems is changeable and uncertain, like in the fog, the form is hazy, the words are hazy, and the theme and artistic conception are also hazy.
Su Wen is throwing it out now, just to shock the people tonight, such a classic poem, they can't say it badly.
This poem ...... "Sea fingers and islands, you look at me, I look at you, and I scratch my head for a while."
"It's really obscure!" The island couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Su Wen's song "To the Oak Tree", when you hear it, the imagery is very simple, but if you think about it carefully, how can it make people feel confused?" ”
Haizhi also nodded and said: "It is said that it is a love poem, and it does have this performance, but it doesn't seem to be so simple." It seems to be Kapok's confession to the oak tree, but it makes people feel that there is something deeper in it, besides love, there is something else. ”
Haidao asked: "Hai Zhi, do you feel that this poem is like some of Li Shangyin's 'untitled' poems, with multiple meanings and multiple interpretations in one poem." ”
Hearing this, Hai Zhi lowered his head and groaned, then raised his head sharply and said, "When you say that, I really feel like it!" ”
Haidao smiled bitterly: "How should I interpret this kind of poem?" ”
Even poets like Haizhi find it a bit difficult to interpret and confusing; The rest of the student audience was even more confused.
"Is it really that we are limited and cannot understand it?" Many students remembered Su Wen's words just now, and their hearts were bitter, and they didn't dare to be as arrogant as when they scolded angrily before.
I can't even understand other people's poems thoroughly, how dare I talk about poetry in front of others?
Silent!
Everyone was silent.
Somehow, the scene that should have been noisy suddenly became so quiet that you could even hear each other's breathing! (To be continued......)
