Modern poems about umbrellas

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, wandering alone in the endless,

Long and lonely rain lane, I hope to meet,

A girl as sad as a lilac.

She has the color of lilacs,

The fragrance of cloves, the sadness of cloves,

Sorrow in the rain, sorrow and hesitation;

She walked in this lonely rain lane with an oil-paper umbrella.

Like me, like me,

Walking silently, indifferent, sad and melancholy.

She approached quietly and threw it again.

She sighed with relief and drifted away.

Like a dream, sad and confused like a dream

Like a dream, a lilac,

I passed this girl, and she went away silently, far away.

When we reached the dilapidated fence, we crossed the rainy path.

In the elegy of the rain, her color faded,

Scattered her fragrance, dissipated, and even hers

Breathing eyes, lavender melancholy.

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, wandering alone in the endless,

Long and lonely rain lane, I hope to float across,

A lilac-like sad girl.

Creation background

This poem was written in the summer of 1927. At that time, the whole country was in a state of white terror Because Dai Wangshu participated in progressive activities, he had to stay at a friend's house in Songjiang, chewing the disillusionment and pain after the failure of the Great Revolution in loneliness, and his heart was full of lost emotions and hazy hopes. The poem "Rain Lane" is an expression of his state of mind, which is intertwined with the dual emotional appeal of disappointment and hope, disillusionment and pursuit. This feeling was common at that time.

works appreciation

The poem describes the lyric hero "holding an oil-paper umbrella" and wandering alone in a long and lonely rain lane. He has a faint hope that he will meet "a girl with a lilac-like sad knot" The girl has a lilac color and fragrance, but her heart is full of sadness and sadness.

He met such a girl, but it was fleeting, "like a dream". Her color, fragrance, "sighing eyes" and "lilac-like melancholy" all disappeared in "Elegy of Rain". He still "walked with an oil-paper umbrella" and wandered alone in the long and lonely rain lane, still hopeful, hoping to float across "a girl with lilac-like sadness"

An important artistic feature of Rain Lane is the use of symbolism to express emotions. Symbolism is an art school that rose in French poetry at the end of19th century. They used the decadence of the end of the world to resist the capitalist order. In the way of expression, it emphasizes the use of suggestive metaphors to express inner feelings, which was introduced to China when the May 4th Movement ebbed.

Dai Wangshu's early works were obviously influenced by French symbolism. An important feature of his creation is that he pays attention to the ability of excavating implied metaphors in poetry and expresses his feelings with symbolic images and artistic conception. Rain Lane embodies this artistic feature.

The poet with an oil-paper umbrella in his poem, the lonely and long rain lane, and the girl with lilac-like sadness and dreams are not the concrete portrayal of real life itself, but the lyrical images full of symbolic significance. The contents of these images may not be specific, but we can appreciate the vague poetry expressed by these images.

The image described in Rain Lane is both deterministic and erratic, with social reality atmosphere, lonely and wandering mood, and distant hope, which is both clear and hazy. Imagination creates symbols, and symbols expand imagination. Because of the symbolic expression of emotion, the poet's emotional state of mind is more subtle, leaving a vast imaginary world and feeling the fragrance and aftertaste of the poem.

The rain lane is hazy but not obscure, low but not decadent, affectionate but not frivolous, which really captures the subtlety of symbolic poetry art.
