Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 53 The Romantic Poet

It was a Twitter-like world, and soon Kevin's poem "When You're Old" was being discussed on Twitter. Especially some young students or men and women. They tweeted the wonderful lines in Kevin as their mood.

"When you are old, freckled, drowsy, and dozed by the fire, take down this book, and read slowly, dreaming of your eyes, with a soft look, and deep reflections in the waves of your eyes --- Kevin "When You old""

"This is really a romantic poet. I admire those who can write such romantic poetry. Maybe they are God's favorite."

"Everyone, please allow me to call Kevin a 'romantic poet', maybe he is a poem in itself. Because only a person full of romantic cells can write such a romantic poem."

"I really want to have dinner with such a talented and romantic poet! Dear Kevin, can you come to my house? My family has been away on business for a month."

For a while, Kevin also had another nickname, that is "Romantic Poet". This made Kevin, who saw Twitter, very happy.

But the craze about the poem "When You Are Old" has not subsided, because the long review written by poetry critic David Lee has been sent out.

David Lee wrote in the comments:

This love poem is unique, and its uniqueness comes from the poet's unique and sincere emotion. Without this emotion, deliberately ingenious, it will only make people feel artificial. Therefore, this poem is not so much that the poet is telling the girl's twilight years in his imagination, but rather that the poet is confessing his true feelings to the girl and the passing years. In this sense, what moves us is the sad and hopeless but unrepentant sincere emotion overflowing from the poem.

The whole poem has neat rhythm, concise language and beautiful artistic conception. There is no gorgeous rhetoric in the poem, but there are majestic emotions hidden behind the simple and plain words. The emotional track expressed by the author in the poem can be likened to a river: first it flows in the canyon, then merges into the big river, and finally disappears peacefully in the sea. However, just under the calm sea water, I believe there must be rolling waves, burying all his hopes, disappointments and despairs.

Any youthful heart will not and will not be willing to face old age, approaching death, layers of wrinkles, and silvery white hair. What kind of heaviness is this. However, the young author stands at this end of time, always narrates and imagines the scene after getting old in a calm and eloquent tone, and expresses his love for his lover to the fullest.

As soon as this review by poetry critic David Lee came out, it immediately attracted more people's attention. This is David Lee's comment. You must know that he rarely makes such comments on a poem. You must know that David Lee is a poetry critic and a leader in the industry. His professionalism in poetry is It is very broad, and what he said is basically authoritative.

If a hundred people say that Kevin's poetry is good, no one will believe it, and if a thousand people say that Kevin's poetry is good, no one will believe it. Or if 10,000 people say that Kevin's poetry is good, maybe no one will believe it. But as poetry critic David Lee said that Kevin's poetry is good, then some people will believe it. Then Kevin's poetry may be really good.

"Wow, it's a miracle that even David Lee came out. Perhaps only such excellent poetry can attract David Lee's attention."

"I haven't read this poem yet? Maybe I should. After all, I also like poetry, and I think poetry is a kind of romance. It's a pity that there are too few British people who can write poetry these years."

"Even David Lee agreed,

What reason should I not buy a copy of Time Magazine? "

"David Lee hasn't spoken for a long time. I didn't expect that when he spoke, he would comment on Kevin's "When You Are Old". It seems that this poem is really good. I want to read it."

"The new column of "Time" is really good. Perhaps following David Lee's comment, not only readers, but also writer friends in the industry are probably full of curiosity about "When You Are Old."

The fact is indeed the case. Those who didn't have the heart to read the song "When You Are Old" now, after seeing David Lee, decided to buy a copy of "Time Magazine" at night or tomorrow. This also directly led to the sell-out of the current issue of Time Magazine.

The president of "Time Weekly" found Wall in a happy mood, holding an envelope in his hand, he shook the envelope in front of Wall, and said: "Wal, you are such a genius!" Editor, I am very happy that you have discovered so many potential writers. Do you know that our "Time Magazine" has become popular this time, and the column Kevin said things has also become popular."

"Oh, respected President, how do you say this?" Wall asked.

"This is a letter written to me by poetry critic David Lee yesterday, in which he praised our Time Magazine and the column 'Kevin Says Things;' especially Kevin's song 'When You are getting old", he gave a very high evaluation. This also indirectly affirms the level of our newspapers." Said the president.

"It's great that David Lee can write a letter to praise us. This proves that the column 'Kevin Talks' is right." Wall said excitedly.

Now Wall really admires Kevin. May I ask, is there any young writer in the UK who can get such a high evaluation from an authoritative person? Only Kevin.

Wall was about to say something, but the colleague in charge of the Letters Affairs Department ran over.

"Dear Mr. Wall, Boggart is calling to see you."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Wall walked over to answer the phone, and Bogut immediately asked excitedly: "Hey, Mr. Wall, how is my issue of "The Infatuated Tire Woman"? Did the readers react strongly? I think this is a must. Yes, you know I revised it three times. There is not a single redundant nonsense in the article."

Yes, Bogut knew that this issue of "Time" would launch Kevin's "Kevin Talks" column, so he wrote an article seriously and carefully. In order to prove his influence in "Time Magazine". After all, over the years, the letters from the readers of "Time" are generally related to him.

This time, he also believes that many readers will write to praise his article "The Infatuated Tire Woman", because just looking at the name, this article is quite innovative.

So in one day, he didn't surf the Internet or pay too much attention to the sales of "Times Weekly". Instead, he invited friends to drink tea and sing dramas at home.

"Sorry, Mr. Bogut, no. All the reader letters today are addressed to Kevin. Maybe you just checked on the Internet. Oh, your "Infatuated Tire Woman" is really good. Better than your previous one. It's all better." Wall said truthfully,

The British don't like hypocrisy, so Wall also told the truth without concealing it.

I have to say that Bogut's "The Infatuated Tire Woman" is very good, but it is a pity that I met Kevin's "When You Are Old". This elegant and romantic poem completely takes the light of "The Infatuated Tire Woman" covered.

"What? You said that all the letters from readers today are addressed to Kevin? That guy who hasn't even read James' "Leaf Conversation"?" Bogut couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, it's all written for Kevin. And the famous poetry critic David... also wrote a review chapter just for him."

"How is this possible? You must know that he is only a student, and he has never even read James's "Leaf's Dialogue."

Bogut still didn't believe this result, knowing that he had written several poems before, and personally visited David Lee, trying to get him to comment on his poems. In the end, nothing happened.

In the industry, everyone knows that David Lee is rigorous and demanding. How could he write a review for a teenager? Besides, this young man was someone who hadn't even seen James' representative works.

"Respect Mr. Bogut, I think you can go online or check on Twitter. Then you will know." Wall said.
