III. Conclusion

Assessing Lorca's influence on Thanh Thảo's creative style, recognizing the innovative and contributory aspects of Thanh Thảo's poetry to modern Vietnamese literature through Lorca's guitar.

The poem vividly depicts imagery with unique artistic elements, such as the sound of water bubbles from a musical instrument, the dazzling slanted moonlight, the imagery of weary horse hooves, and even the vivid imagery of a vivid red cloak. All these poetic images are portrayed in the most lively manner, depicting the object as the moon, the imagery of colors, the red hue of the cloak, to the dizzying states of the soul, the slanted moon imagery, the bewildered mood.

The poetic imagery in the poem carries a surreal, symbolic nature, with images depicting dizziness, gentle yet profound meanings expressing the loneliness, tragic sadness of the artist, metaphorical imagery depicting loneliness, with no one mourning when 'no one buries the sound of the instrument'. Here, it also exists in a state of dizziness, loneliness, ethereal, artistic imagery, art used in the work with symbolic and surreal elements.

Symbolic imagery speaks of the unfortunate fate of the character, the sound of the instrument speaks of the fate of the artist, the imagery of moonlight speaks of peace, freedom, all blending to speak of two distinct, independent fates, lonely fates. The instrument is not just a tool of the woman but also an imagery to express the emotions in the author's soul, in times of joy, when full of bubbles, when shattered again... That shattering is showing the breakdown in despair, the pains, dizziness in the soul.
