Exemplary Piece: The author's perception and portrayal of the transformation of earth and sky through what images and phenomena
Hữu Thỉnh, a poet renowned for his exquisite verses on autumn, penned a remarkable piece titled 'Autumn's Arrival,' capturing the author's nuanced appreciation of nature's beauty during the transition from summer to fall. The first stanza delves into the metamorphosis of earth and sky during this pivotal moment.
The poet suddenly notices the signs of the seasonal shift in the chilling breeze:
Suddenly, the scent of guavas
Drifts in the crisp air'
Catching the fragrance of guavas - unlike other poets recognizing autumn through signals like the scent of young rice: 'Cool and clear as in years past/ Autumn's breeze carries the scent of new rice' (The Country - Nguyễn Đình Thi), Hữu Thỉnh identifies autumn through the aroma of guavas. That fragrance 'exhales' in the crisp breeze. The sweet scent, mingling and weaving, threads into the wind. We perceive the guavas ripening and the gentle movement of the wind carrying the fragrance. The term 'suddenly' evokes his unexpected emotions on that early morning.
The transformation of earth and sky is also depicted through the image of morning mist. As autumn arrives, the early mist appears faintly in the village lanes and morning alleys. The author describes the mist through the line 'Mist lingers in the alley.' The phrase 'lingers' and the personification convey the sense of hesitation and lingering of the mist. The mist resembles a young girl intentionally slowing down, entwining herself in the village lanes. 'Alley' here is both a real alley, a rural lane, and the gateway of time through two seasons. The final line expresses the poet's emotion, 'It seems like autumn has arrived,' the term 'it seems like' conveys a vague, fragile feeling, unsure if autumn has truly arrived. The author's emotions transition from surprise to doubt.
Hữu Thỉnh experienced beautiful emotions before the subtle transitions with the creature's seasonal exchange when summer yields, making way for autumn.
