Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 52 Beautiful Poetry (

After returning to Edinburgh, Kevin spent a few more ordinary days. In the past few days, apart from going to school, he was writing Wuthering Heights.

And a few days later, "Time Magazine" also officially opened a column for Kevin. Today is the first day of publication of the "Kevin Talking About Things" column.

Bogut drank English tea at home and sang popular plays. He wanted to see how many people read the things written by this guy who hadn't even read James's "Leaf's Dialogue". He would like to see how readers spray the column article of this newcomer's work until the end.

Eighteen-year-old Jenny Norfolk asked a bookstore to order a large number of "Time Magazine" a few days ago, so she also saw this poem written by Kevin in advance.

When you are old, blotchy, and sleepy,

While dozing by the fire, take down this book,

Slowly recite, dreaming of your eyes in the past

The expression is soft, and the reflection in the eyes is deep;

How many people love your charming and charming time,

Love your beauty from false or true,

But only one loves the sincerity of your soul,

Love the bitter weather on your fading face;

stooped by the glowing hearth,

Whispers mournfully how Cupid has fled,

Roaming on the hilltops overhead,

Hide his face among the stars.

Eighteen-year-old Jenny Norfolk couldn't help reading it after reading it, and then gently covered the newspaper under her deep and white neck, completely intoxicated by the artistic conception of this poem .

"It's so beautiful, why is there such a beautiful and romantic poem in the world."

Jenny Norfolk's heart was completely burned. She suddenly longed for a sincere and simple love. She also imagined that when she was old, there would be someone who would always love her and love the sincerity deep in her soul. Love her fading beauty.

"Kevin, you are amazing. Why do you always write such great articles?"

Not only Jenny Norfolk, those who bought "Time Magazine" also praised "When You Are Old" after reading the article in the column "Kevin Talks".

Once upon a time, many people said that there is no talent in the British poetry field, no one can write a poem like Shakespeare, or no one can write a perfect poem.

But when Kevin's song "When You Are Old" appeared, it immediately gave them a bright feeling.

How many people love your charming and charming time,

Love your beauty from false or true,

But only one loves the sincerity of your soul,

Love the bitter weather on your fading face;

Just such a short paragraph is enough to touch the hearts of thousands of boys and girls. Yes, in this false and hurried society, how many people's love comes from sincerity? How many people's love is pure? But there will always be someone who loves the sincerity of your soul, and loves the wind and frost that you have gradually acquired due to the years.

This poem also tells people that love is sincere, and love is unswerving no matter how the years change or how it is lost.

Of course, readers praised not only the emotions expressed in this poem, but also the writing style of this poem.

The words used in the poems are very common, as if they are easy to come by, but it also gives people a feeling of picking up the benefits. Perhaps this is the true meaning of poetry, and this is the true meaning of literature. Isn't what literature pursues is sincerity without affectation? Isn't the pursuit of literature to use the simplest sentences to form some parts that can move people's hearts?

And all of this, Kevin's song "When You Are Old" has been completely done. Many people began to lament the romance, elegance and perfection of this poem.

"This is the best poetry for England, because only England can afford such beautiful poetry."

The famous poetry critic David Lee sighed after watching Kevin's "When You Are Old".

David Lee is one of the few surviving professional poetry critics in the UK, and he seldom expresses such a sigh. After all, in the current era, few people can write poems that make him sigh like that.

But after he finished reading Kevin's "When You Are Old", he had to do so. He even read it five times in a row. Known as a "memory genius", he has been able to completely recite "When You Are Old" at this time.

Not only that, but he was going to take some time tonight and post a long comment. Yes, he wants more people to know such a beautiful and romantic poem. He will add his opinion.

"Oh my God, this is the most romantic poem I've ever seen, so romantic I want to die right now."

"I yearn for the love in poetry, which will never change until death, and accompany life and death."

"How I long for a man who can love the depths of my soul and everything about me."

Those unmarried single girls began to yearn for unswerving love and began to yearn for all the beautiful things.

Some old readers of "Time Magazine" could no longer control their joy at this time. They wrote letters and emails. They want to praise this Kevin's story column in Time Magazine, which made them see such romantic poetry, such beautiful poetry.

"Thank you for this column, I don't think there is anything more successful than this idea. Oh, and thank you Kevin for his poetry, maybe he was sent by God to save British poetry."

"Kevin's column is so right, why didn't it start sooner? This kind of poetry should be known to people earlier. No, maybe it's too early, and it doesn't have the flavor. It's just right now."

"Finally, I saw a refreshing article in this weekly magazine. Although it is only a short poem, I couldn't resist reading it several times, which is enough."

This letter from this reader is very obvious, that is to say, the articles in the previous "Times" column are too old and traditional, and they can't give him a new feeling. And "Time" had only one column before, and that was written by Bogut.

This also indirectly shows that Bogut's previous articles have no bright spots or new ideas.

For a while, the staff responsible for receiving letters from readers of "Times Weekly" began to be busy, because letters from readers, whether by express delivery or mail, increased. They began to divide the work and read one by one.

"Maybe we have to work overtime tonight? Otherwise, how can we read these letters."

"No no, it's not that exaggerated. Maybe soon they will stop sending emails. Then we can look at it tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, but why do I still have 98...101 unread letters in my mailbox?"

Not only the readers praised Kevin's "When You Are Old", but even people in other magazines or newspapers thought it was a very wonderful poem.

"Hey, why didn't we think of asking Kevin to write a column? You should know that he is the champion of the seventh literary competition, and his strength and reputation are there."

"Looks like this column in Time is doing well, and they're going to sell a lot better than they used to. We're getting some serious competition again."

"What a wonderful poem. A perfect composition."

Wall was very excited when he heard from his colleagues that the number of letters from readers was several times higher than before. This is the result he wanted.

"Facts have proved how correct I was to sign Kevin to write a column bravely." After Wall shouted "yes" loudly, he said the above excitedly. This issue is strongly recommended, and I hope that friends will support it a lot, so that Papaya's book can be on the front page. Thank you very much. Wish you all the best.
