The next morning,

University College London,

Library.

Nikolic and Solomon came here again to read books.

Because they recently started to study modern historiography, the two of them stayed up all night, so they were listless, and even had dark circles under their eyes, similar to pandas.

Solomon yawned,

"Oh, it's hard."

In front of him was a sheet of manuscript paper, still empty.

Nikolić said: "If you find it difficult, ...... for a while."

Before the words fell, I heard a commotion not far away,

This is very uncommon in libraries.

The two couldn't help but follow the prestige, only to see a group of students getting together and discussing something, but because they were too excited, they forgot to control the volume.

The attention of others was also drawn to the past.

Solomon narrowed his eyes,

"That's ...... Hmm...... Manchester Guardian? ”

As he spoke, he slapped his forehead sharply,

"I've been so busy these days that I forgot to buy today's newspaper."

Nikolic made a silent gesture to his friend,

Solomon understood.

Both of them pricked up their ears at the same time, listening carefully to what was being discussed.

"I didn't expect Professor Lu to respond like this."

"It's a really well-written poem."

"Can this be considered poetry?"

"Definitely! However, he is so fierce and direct, not at all like Asian. ”

……

Nikolić and Solomon couldn't help but look at each other.

Then, the two of them got up at the same time, walked quickly out of the library, and walked towards the bookstore next to them.

As expected, the door of the bookstore was surrounded by students.

Almost every one of them had a copy of the Manchester Guardian, and they read it with relish, and they even forgot about the lessons.

Solomon squeezed through the crowd and asked the boss while taking out the money, "Boss, what's going on outside?" ”

The boss shrugged,

"It's not because of Lu? As soon as his articles appeared, my bookstore would be busier than the library. It's just that today is special, you students seem to have nails on the soles of their feet, and what are you going to do when you block the door! ”

In the past, students bought newspapers, read and walked away, and soon left.

The situation is completely different.

The boss was puzzled.

Solomon stuffed the money in the past,

"Here's a copy."

Nikolic, who was on the side, was not polite at all, and directly took out a newspaper and flipped through it quickly.

Suddenly, his movements stopped,

"Answer?"

"What?"

Solomon came forward.

The page that Nikolic turned was the Manchester Guardian book review page,

There is no separation, no chunk of the article, no sharp irony of George Bernard Shaw,

Yes, it's just a modern poem -

Answer.

The author is Lu.

Solomon's face flushed with excitement,

"I knew it," he said...... I knew it! Professor Lu was pointed at his nose and scolded, how could he not fight back? ”

Nikolic nodded,

"Indeed, the title of the poem is full of aggression."

Solomon retorted: "Is this called aggressive? This is clearly justified defense! If it's an attack, why do you use the word 'Answer'? The momentum is too weak! To attack, definitely use 'Fxxk you!' 'Ahh ”

Nikolic was speechless,

"Got it, you're amazing. Let's read the poems. ”

The two of them refocused their attention on the newspaper and read it carefully.

Reading and reading, they actually sweated in the cold.

Nikolic whispered: "Is the phrase 'I came into this world with nothing but paper, rope and figure, in order to read out the voices that have been sentenced before the trial'?" Or Professor Lu himself? ”

There are a thousand readers, and there are a thousand Hamlets,

Solomon felt that what Professor Lu wanted to express was not necessarily very specific, but that the hidden emotions and inspiration were the most important.

About this "Answer",

Some people can read full of anger;

Some people can read the desire for change;

Some people can read the yearning for freedom;

……

Everyone feels differently, just as Shakespeare unleashed a thousand Hamlets in The Prince's Revenge.

To be able to do this, "Answer" is undoubtedly a good poem.

Solomon said, "My heart is not at peace. ”

Nikolic didn't squeak,

But obviously, looking at his expression, you can also know that he thinks the same as his friend.

The two of them felt at the same time that there was something brewing between the students around them,

That kind of atmosphere, as if the students present can rely on this "Answer" to reach some kind of consensus without language communication,

That's the power of literature.

Suddenly, someone said, "I think we should do something for Professor Lu." ”

It was a student from the College of Arts and Crafts and Entertainment who spoke.

The institution specialized in art and media until 1904, when it was admitted to the League of Universities of London and renamed Goldsmiths, University of London.

Compared to the "noble" University College London and King's College, the Faculty of Arts and Recreation is very sewer, but for some reason, there is not a single student in the room who does not take the conversation as their own.

As long as you support Professor Lu, then everyone is a half-brother.

Someone asked, "What do we do?" ”

A group of students pondered.

Solomon's eyes rolled as he smiled sinisterly and said, "We are students, so of course we have to figure out a way in school. ”

If you say this, you don't say it.

The crowd grumbled with all sorts of dissatisfaction.

Nikolić shoved Solomon and said, "If you have any ideas, just say it, don't sell it." ”

Solomon smiled,

"Hmm...... By the way, from King's College, do you have a teacher named Thomas Hardy, if I remember correctly, he wrote "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" and "Jude the Nameless". ”

Hardy was not only a novelist, but also a poet.

Although his poems are modern poems, they have a kind of "dry humor", such as the masterpiece "Wessex Poems", the content of which is to describe his daily life, which is somewhat boring.

This method of writing is very different from Lu Shi's "Generation", so Hardy also participated in the crusade against Lu Shi.

Everyone present reacted,

Solomon went so far as to attack the teachers of the universities under the University of London League who opposed Lu Shi.

Show one’s true colors in the end!

There was a student at King's College who said, "Professor Hardy is just an honorary professor, there is no need to ......"

Before the words fell, they immediately attracted everyone's gaze,

The gaze is unusually scorched.

Solomon smiled and said, "Classmate, I know what you want to say, it's really unnecessary. However, 'I love my teacher, I love the truth even more', when a teacher makes a mistake, as a student, you must always have the determination to stand up and correct it. ”

There's nothing wrong with that.

It's just that when used in the current occasion, it always feels weird.

The students were still hesitant.

Solomon continued: "Actually, there is no need for us to do anything out of the ordinary, but to write a hand-copied newspaper and string a string of slogans to express our opinions. As for demonstrations, demonstrations, and so on...... Hehe...... Hehehe......"

"Hiss......"

Everyone gasped,

This old brother is so ruthless, he even thought about demonstrating!

Nikolici pulled Solomon's sleeve and whispered, "You control yourself." ”

Solomon was also worried that he had spoken too much,

He cleared his throat and raised his voice to recite the Answer:

“

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.

……

”

As soon as "Answer" came out, everyone's emotions were instantly ignited.

What about questioning the teacher?

Dry TM!
