Back in Edinburgh, Kevin spent a few more ordinary days. In these days, besides going to school, he wrote Wuthering Heights.
A few days later, Time magazine officially opened a column for Kevin. Today is the 18-year-old Jennie Norfolk who published the "Kevin talking" column. A few days ago, she asked a bookstore to subscribe to a large number of times, so she also saw this poem written by Kevin in advance.
When you're old, sideburns, sleepy,
When I doze by the stove, I take down this book,
Read slowly, dream of your eyes
He has a soft look and deep reflection in his eyes;
How many people love your charming time,
Love your beauty from false or true feelings,
But only one person loves the sincerity of your soul,
Love the bitter frost on your fading face;
Bend down, by the red fireplace,
How does love escape,
Walking on the top of the mountains overhead,
Hide his face among the stars.
After reading it, 18-year-old Jeanne Norfolk couldn't help but read it. Then she gently covered the newspaper under her deep and white neck and was completely immersed in the artistic conception of the poem.
"It's so beautiful. Why is there such a beautiful and romantic poem in the world?"
Jane Norfolk's heart was completely burned, she suddenly longed for a sincere and simple love, she also imagined that when she was old, someone would always love her, love the sincerity of her soul, love her declining beauty.
"Kevin, you are wonderful. Why do you always write such great articles? "
Not only Jeanne Norfolk, but those who bought time magazine praised when you're old when they saw the article in "Kevin talking about things".
Once upon a time, many people said that there were no talents in English poetry, no one would write a poem like Shakespeare, or no one would write a perfect poem.
But when Kevin's song "when you're old" appeared, it immediately gave them a bright feeling.
How many people love your charming time,
Love your beauty from false or true feelings,
But only one person loves the sincerity of your soul,
Love the bitter frost on your fading face;
Such a short period is enough to move the hearts of thousands of young men and girls. Yes, in this false and flustered 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, who loves you because of the years.
This poem also tells people that love is sincere, no matter how the years change, how the loss, are the same unswerving.
Of course, what readers praise is not only the emotion expressed in the poem, but also the style of the poem.
The use of words in poetry is very common, as if at hand in general, but also gives people a sense of benefit. Perhaps this is the true meaning of poetry, this is the true meaning of literature. What literature pursues is not sincerity but not affectation? What literature pursues is not to use the simplest sentences to form some moving parts?
And all of this, Kevin's "when you're old" has done it completely. Many people begin to sigh about the romance, elegance and perfection of this poem.
"This is the most suitable poem for England, because only England can afford such a beautiful poem."
David Lee, a famous poetry critic, sighed after watching Kevin's when you are old.
David Lee is one of the few professional poetry critics in Britain. He seldom gives such a sigh. After all, few people can write poems that make him sigh like that.
But when he finished reading Kevin's when you're old, he had to. He even read it five times in a row. He is called "memory genius" and can recite "when you are old" completely.
Not only that, he's going to spend some time tonight and post a long comment. Yes, such a beautiful and romantic poem, he wants to let more people know. He wants to add his opinion.
"God, this is the most romantic poem I've ever seen. Romance wants to die at this moment."
"I yearn for the love in poetry until death, life and death together."
"How I long for a man to love my soul and everything in me."
Those unmarried single girls began to look forward to unswerving love, began to yearn for all that beautiful.
Some of the time's old readers can no longer control their joy. They write letters and send e-mails. They want to praise the time magazine's story telling column, which makes them see such romantic poetry, such beautiful poetry.
"Thank you for this column. I don't think there's anything more successful than this idea. Oh, and by the way, thank Kevin for his poetry. Maybe he was sent by God to save English poetry. "
"Kevin is right about this column. Why not start earlier? Such poems should be known earlier. No, no, maybe it's too early. It doesn't taste like this. Now it's just right. "
"I finally saw a refreshing article in this weekly. Although it's just a short poem, I can't help but read it several times. That's enough."
This letter from this reader is obvious, that is to say, the previous time column articles are too old-fashioned and traditional to give him a new feeling. Before time magazine, there was only one column, which was written by Bogut.
This also indirectly shows that Bogut's previous articles have no bright spots and new ideas.
For a moment, the staff of time magazine who are responsible for receiving letters from readers are busy, because there are more letters from readers, whether express or e-mail. They began to read one by one.
"Maybe we're going to work overtime tonight? How else can I finish reading these letters? "
"No, no, it's not that exaggerated. Maybe soon they'll stop sending emails. So we can see it tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. "
"OK, but why do I still have 98... 101 unread letters in my mailbox?"
It's not only the readers who praise Kevin's when you are old, but also other magazines and newspapers think it's a wonderful poem.
"Well, why didn't we expect Kevin to write a column? You know, he is the champion of the seventh literature competition. His strength and reputation are there. "
"It seems that this column of time is very successful, and their sales will be much better than before. Our competition is going to be fierce again. "
"It's a great poem. It's a perfect work. "
Wall was very excited when he heard colleagues say that the number of letters from readers was several times more than before. That's what he wants.
"It turns out how right I was to bravely sign Kevin to write a column." After yelling "yes", wall said it excitedly. This issue is recommended by Fenqiang. I hope my friends can give me more support to make papaya's book on the home page. Thank you very much. I wish you all the best.
