Lu Shi and George Bernard Shaw prepare to leave.

At this moment, the door was pushed open,

Cooper walked in with a young man in his twenties, and when he saw Lu, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief,

"I went to Blaya Road and then Adelphi, but I didn't find you."

After that, Cooper let go of the young man next to him and introduced: "Lu, this is Mr. Robert Ross, a friend of Mr. Wilde. He came from Paris all the way to see you and talk about your poems. ”

Friends is a relatively obscure statement,

Anyone who understands understands.

Rose smiled gentlemanly,

"Mr. Lu, I won't shake hands with you."

Lu Shi was stunned, and then understood the reason why the other party said this, and his evaluation of the other party was one level higher in his heart.

He said, "If that's the case, then don't shake hands." ”

Rose nodded,

Sure enough, to be able to write that kind of poem, Mr. Lu is an extremely sincere person. I came to London this time to borrow that poem from yours as an epitaph for Oscar. I believe that if it can be done, he will be very happy. ”

This is a very serious matter.

Lu Shi couldn't help but ponder.

George Bernard Shaw on the side said, "Mr. Ross, if I remember correctly, Wilde should have gray eyes. And "Generation" ...... Well, "One Generation" is the name of the poem. ”

A generation......

Rose chewed on those three words repeatedly.

For a long time, he said, "What a romantic name." ”

George Bernard Shaw said: "Mr. Ross, poetry is different from epitaphs, the former focuses on transmission and expression, while the latter has to fit the deceased, so ......"

That's why he mentions Wilde's pupils.

——

The night gave me black eyes,

But I use it to find light.

——

There are only two lines in the poem, and the imagery that appears in the poem is very common in daily life:

The night, the black eyes, the light,

Combining these common intentions, and then using seemingly contradictory twists, can make the whole poem wonderfully plausible.

That's what poetry is all about—

Transmission and expression.

However, if this poem were to be used as an epitaph, the black eyes would clash with Wilde's pupils.

Lu Shi also followed George Bernard Shaw's words and said: "Frankly speaking, Mr. Wilde has said so many spicy and humorous quotes, and using my poems as his epitaph inevitably gives people a feeling of overstepping. ”

It's the truth.

There are so many famous sayings from Wilde,

For example, "loving yourself is the beginning of a lifelong romance", this phrase engraved on the tombstone can instantly raise the style.

Another example, "There is nothing but genius",

This was said by Wilde to a customs officer when he was invited to give a lecture in the United States, and the customs only asked him if there was anything to declare.

Is a person who pretends to be so X-like really willing to use someone else's poetry as an epitaph?

Ross fell into deep thought,

After a while, he whispered, "Mr. Lu, I still firmly believe in my opinion. ”

Lu Shi couldn't help but look at George Bernard Shaw.

George Bernard Shaw glanced at Ross and smiled,

"Then I have to talk about another feature of "Generation"."

Ross was curious,

"What?"

George Bernard Shaw replied with a smile: "It's a modernist poem, so ...... Yes...... The poet himself is here, what else do I need to interpret? ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Shi.

Lu Shi was speechless,

The other protagonists pretend to be X, they are all standing with their hands in their hands, fishing alone in the cold river and snow, and they look like people who are outside the world.

The narration is entirely done by others.

Then, the other dragon set characters applauded, extremely worshipful,

It turns out that the protagonist is so powerful!

How did it come to me so differently?

Poetry should be written by oneself and not spoken,

You have to explain it yourself.

Lu Shi coughed lightly,

"The characteristics of modernist poetry can be summed up in only one sentence, that is, 'the opposite of archaic poetry'. To put it simply, it is to use easy-to-understand language to directly express the thoughts in the poet's heart or the emotions at the time of creation. ”

George Bernard Shaw nodded,

"So, I think this 'One Generation' also has merit as an epitaph for Mr. Wilde."

The crowd agreed,

Because this poem was written by Lu Shi to mourn Wilde, emotionally speaking, it fits perfectly.

Lu Shi said: "In fact, "One Generation" is not a simple modern poem, but a hazy poem. ”

George Bernard Shaw was surprised,

"What do you mean by the 'Obscure Sect'?"

Lu Shi then remembered that the hazy school was only in the 70s of the 20th century.

Moreover, it is unique to China.

He coughed awkwardly and explained, "In fact, it is to express emotions implicitly through a series of trivial images, which is not worth mentioning. ”

George Bernard Shaw thought for a moment and shook his head,

"Professor Lu, why are you always so humble? How can it be said that it is not worth mentioning? This song "Generation" fits perfectly with the characteristics you said, and it can indeed be in a class of its own. In the future, there will be people who will take this style of writing as a guideline. ”

Next, George Bernard Shaw made an output for a long time.

At the same time, there was a faint rustling sound next to it,

Lu Shi looked over and found that Scott had taken out a pen and paper at some point and carefully recorded George Bernard Shaw's speech.

Noticing Lu Shi's gaze, Scott smiled and asked silently with his mouth: "Lu, tomorrow's headlines are here, not bad, right?" ”

While asking, he is still recording, and there is no delay.

The corners of Lu Shi's mouth twitched slightly,

Unexpectedly, he only got the title of "founder of modern historiography" a few days ago, and now he has become the "founder of the Hazy School".

Finally, George Bernard Shaw finished speaking,

When he looked at Lu,

"Professor Lu, am I right?"

Lu Shi didn't listen to it much just now, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "That's right, Mr. Supervisor is worthy of a generation of writers, in addition to studying drama, he is also so familiar with poetry creation." ”

George Bernard Shaw laughed,

"I'll just say, since Professor Lu called it the 'Hazy School', it means that in addition to this "Generation", there must be other works."

"Of course there are other ...... Goo ......"

Lu Shi couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked the other party: "So, you just asked me 'right', and that's what you asked?" Q: Do I have any other works? ”

George Bernard Shaw was surprised and asked, "If it's not this, what else can it be?" ”

Others nodded,

"yes, that's what I asked."

George Bernard Shaw smiled and said, "Professor Lu, everyone wants to see your other works. ”

Lu Shi originally wanted to refuse, but his eyes swept over Rose, and he thought of the recent scolding war because of Wilde, and an impulse rose in his heart,

He took pen and paper and wrote down a title—

Answer.

The crowd couldn't help but get excited.

But soon, this excitement turned into silence,

“

Meanness is the pass of the mean,

Noble is the epitaph of the noble.

Behold, in that gilded sky,

Floating with the crooked reflection of the dead.

……

”

Reading this poem, an emotion rushed into the hearts of everyone present.

George Bernard Shaw took a deep breath, came to Scott's side, and whispered, "A poem like this is worth a thousand words." Editor-in-Chief Scott, take down the manuscript I just gave you, there is no need for it. ”
