Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

"Hi! Kevin, what's the matter?" Wall asked curiously.

"Sorry, Mr. Wall, I suddenly thought of something, so I have to mention it to you."

So, Kevin told Wall his thoughts. After hearing Kevin's idea, Wall couldn't help thinking about it, and then said: "Kevin, there is no doubt that your idea is very good. But as far as I know, there are no newspapers or magazines in the UK. An example of a company serializing poetry. Serial novels and the like are quite common."

Wall's concerns are also justified. After all, whether it is the UK or other countries, it is rare to say that any magazine or newspaper opens a column just to serialize some poems. This is also inappropriate in the age of decadent poetry.

Kevin can also understand what Wall means by saying that if he chooses to publish his poems serially, he may face certain risks.

But Kevin has reason to believe that even in this era, those excellent poems can still make people can't help reading, and can't help but be curious about the jokes behind it.

So Kevin said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Wall, I have full confidence. This "Ode to a Nightingale" will definitely make those readers like it. After they read one section, they will definitely be interested in the second section." .”

Wall originally had more trust in Kevin, especially his potential. So listen to Kevin's so confident guarantee. His heart was also shaken.

"Okay! Then let's try. After you finish writing the first chapter, send it to my email first! At that time, I will explain the eight verses of this poem in the column." Mr. Wall said .

"Yes, Mr. Wall."

After hanging up the phone with Wall, Kevin began typing on the keyboard, intending to copy down the eight verses of John Keats' "Ode to a Nightingale". Then it will be sent to Wall in installments.

So, Kevin began to search the full text of "Ode to a Nightingale" in the literary memory system in his mind.

The first stanza that Kevin sent to Wall was the first stanza. The content of the first stanza was roughly that the poet listened to the singing of the nightingale, and then placed himself in the fantasy world in his mind. The poem is as follows:

My heart aches and I feel lethargic and numb,

It's like drinking poison.

And as if you just swallowed **,

Began to sink into the river of forgetfulness in the underworld.

It is not that I envy your blessings,

But your joy overjoys me—

You, winged dryad,

Among the leaves and shadows of the beeches,

Where the singing is melodious,

You stretch your throat and sing about summer.

…………..

The word count for the first quarter wasn't many, so Kevin sent it to Wall quickly. Wall was stunned to see Kevin's speed.

"My God! He's such a pervert. You know we just got off the phone, and by this time his poems have been sent."

Wall couldn't help but quickly clicked to review it. After reading it carefully, he still had a stunned expression, as if he had seen something even more incredible.

"Although this stanza is short, the imagination displayed is unprecedented. Kevin, you really deserve to be a genius. The most romantic poet in Britain.

"

Yes, this stanza surprised Wall too much. When he clicked on it, he saw "My heart hurts, I feel drowsy and numb, as if I have drank poisonous poison, or just swallowed milk, and I am sinking into the river of forgetfulness in the underworld." At that time, he was already deeply curious, what would Kevin want to say next?

He continued to look down, "It's not that I'm jealous of your blessings, but that your joy makes me overjoyed." This sentence has already explained clearly that it is "Your joy makes me overjoyed." But who or what is this "you"?

When Wall continued to read, he realized that this "you" is just a nightingale"—you, the tree spirit with wings, in the green leaves and shadows of the beeches, in the place where the singing is melodious, You stretched your throat and sang about summer"

With a poem this good, Wall won't have to worry too much about selling the next issue of Time. He felt that Kevin's poems should be publicized at this time.

So, Wall posted a message on Time Magazine's official Twitter: Remember that romantic death poem "When You Are Old"? Kevin's latest poetry masterpiece will be published in the next issue of "Times", please support us a lot. Thanks.

As soon as the news came out, it naturally attracted the attention of many people. Especially some of Kevin's readers and some of Bella's fans.

"Kevin is writing poetry again, that's great. Will it be those romantic writings again?"

"I didn't know this man, but after listening to Bella's "When You Are Old", I began to like this man's talent. Because his poetry is so romantic."

"I think this will be another excellent poem, because a poet who can write "When You Are Old" will definitely not have a bad work."

"Okay! I think I'll buy it and see."

Many people said the above after seeing the official twitter information of Time Magazine.

At the same time, Bella's new song album is still selling well. In just a few days, the song "When You Are Old" has reached the top of the Yali music list. As a rookie singer, this is obviously a good result.

This also made the outside world highly affirm Bella's talent. Many people didn't think that this nineteen-year-old girl could be successful in the music industry in addition to being successful in the film and television industry.

Bella's company is also not IQ-impaired. After seeing the popularity of Bella's songs, they also began to plan to hold concerts across the country. And the theme of this concert is called "Love and Be Loved".

"When You Are Old" is the main song of this theme song, so Bella plans to invite the lyricist of this song, namely Kevin, to attend one of the concerts.

According to the process arrangement given to her by the company, Bella's first stop was Edinburgh. After all, Edinburgh is also a traditional art city in the UK. There are many things related to music and art here. And Edinburgh hosts an international art festival every year.

Edinburgh also has many places for singers to hold concerts. Arthur's Concert Hall is Edinburgh's main concert hall for classical music. The concert hall also occasionally holds pop music concerts. This concert hall hosted the 1972 Eurovision Song Contest when it was on Earth in the previous life. The Scottish Chamber Orchestra is also based in Edinburgh.

In addition to Usher Hall, Midobank and Murrayfield Stadiums occasionally host major concerts. The British Music Copyright Society listed Edinburgh as one of the top ten music cities in the UK in 2010. Many composers also lived here.

Therefore, this is why Bella's company will arrange the first stop of this concert in Edinburgh. Because the music here is the strongest. Perhaps only in this way can we usher in the success of Bella's first concert in her life. (It’s late at night, God readers, good night, I wish you a good mood and good luck when you wake up tomorrow)
