Kevin's number of votes ranked third, which not only attracted the attention of many people, but also attracted the attention of the judges. Among them, Randolph AUM, President of British Poetry Association, was the one who was most interested in Kevin.
"Oh, where is this Kevin sacred, since the ability to pressure so many famous poets."
So Randolph AUM called his assistant and told him to look for some information about Kevin to show him.
"Dear Mr. Randolph AUM, I heard that Kevin is a literary genius. The reason why he won so many votes this time has something to do with his" the living beings " Randolph AUM's assistant said.
"Oh《 "The collection of all living beings" is the one that has been published three times in a month recently
Although Randolph AUM is old, he is always concerned about the English poetry world. Kevin's "the sentient beings" is so popular and big. Therefore, he knows about the news that it will be printed three times in a month.
"Yes, dear Mr. Randolph AUM, I bought this book of poems out of curiosity. It's really good. He's the most beautiful poem I've ever seen Randolph AUM's assistant said with a smile.
As soon as Randolph AUM heard this, he could not help but be curious. He immediately said, "take this collection of poems and show it to me. I'm full of expectations for it when you say so."
"OK, just a moment."
So, Randolph AUM's assistant turns around and walks into his office. Then he takes Kevin's "the living beings" and hands it to Randolph AUM.
Randolph AUM is a highly respected predecessor in English poetry. In his early years, he has been committed to the study of poetic culture. So far, he has written 30 books on poetic theory. Therefore, in poetry, he is absolutely an expert among experts. After all, there are some achievements in being the president of the British Poetry Association.
Randolph AUM's reading habits are different from others. He usually gets a book. He doesn't like to read the first page first, but turns one page at will. If the content of the opened page can attract him, he will continue to read it. On the contrary, if the random page can't arouse his interest, maybe he will consider whether to read a work.
When Randolph AUM got all living beings, he casually opened a page and read it carefully.
Randolph AUM turned to a poem called "the day is gone.". This poem is one of the representative works of John Keats, a gifted British poet on earth.
There is no doubt that as one of the representative works of John Keats, a gifted British poet, the day is gone is naturally perfect. After all, in that era when there were so many English poets, there was no doubt that John Keats could stand out by one poem and become an indelible part of the history of English literature.
The day is gone and its fun is gone!
Soft hands, softer skin, soft voice and red lips,
Warm breath, affectionate, dreamlike whisper,
Bright eyes, rich body, soft waist!
All is gone against time, alas, at dusk----
The night of love, the festival of darkness
In order to cover the secret joy with incense curtains,
Is beginning to weave the dark night;
And at this time, a flower, she is full of charm
Withered, the shadow in front of my eyes disappeared;
Withered, the body of beauty in my arms;
Withered, voice, warmth, brightness and heaven——
But now that I have read the holy book of love,
And fasting, praying, it should make me sleep
Randolph AUM couldn't help reading after reading it. After reading, he closed his eyes deeply and enjoyed the beautiful artistic conception brought by the poem.
"It's so beautiful. This poem is so beautiful." When Randolph AUM opened his eyes, he often sighed.
Such a beautiful poem naturally aroused his interest in the collection of sentient beings, so he continued to look down, and he was completely fascinated by it. Until 7 pm, he forgot to enjoy dinner.
"Hi! Dear Mr. Randolph AUM, it's time for you to have dinner. " In the end, he was reminded by his assistant that he had not enjoyed dinner yet.
"Well, thank you for the reminder. As the outside world said, everything is full of beautiful melody, everything is so poetic. I just had my whole soul almost sucked in by it. It's incredible. " Randolph AUM said excitedly.
"Yes, I did. I think the people who voted for Kevin were just like us. After all, it's really wonderful
When Randolph AUM heard the assistant say this, he thought of the voting.
"Yes, I'm going to vote for Kevin, too. Oh, as the president of the Poetry Association, I can't vote casually. Well, I'll save it for the last joint Randolph AUM said with a smile.
Like David Lee, Randolph AUM hopes that English poetry can go to a better height, instead of always staying in Shakespeare's world. It should be the emergence of more excellent works.
Randolph AUM thinks that Kevin's all living beings can fill the gap of poetic culture in recent years. Because he had never seen a collection of poems that could contain so many excellent and almost perfect poems. He was surprised by the collection of poems.
Randolph AUM hasn't finished reading all the sentient beings at this time, so he ordered his assistant to go outside and pack a box lunch for him, intending to eat and watch.
At this time, the British poet laureate vote is still going on, although many players see themselves behind so much, but it is not anxious. After all, they know that winning the vote is not the only basis for the final election.
According to the previous years, the winner of the title of poet laureate is not the one with the highest number of votes. Take the last poet laureate cleman for example, he did not get the highest number of votes in the voting process, just ranked fifth. However, due to his contribution to the royal family and poetic talent, he easily won the title of poet laureate.
Therefore, now is just the beginning of voting. These people are full of confidence that they will surpass each other and form a strong competitor for the poet laureate.
