Explanation
</blockquote> "Evening star" is a poem written by Mihai Eminescu.It really impressed me. Read it all : [link] It tells a story about a girl's dream to meet the perfect lover,but immortal from the sky.The poem shows the differences between the human and the eternal world and the imposibility to be reunited. </i></i> The Legend of the Evening Star tells a story about a young princess who prayed to the Evening Star, every night. The Evening Star falls in love with her and is ready to give up his immortality, for her, when he realizes that pure love he feels for the young maid cannot be shared in the mortals' world. </i></i> "There was, as in the fairy tales, As ne'er in the time's raid, There was, of famous royal blood A most beautiful maid.
She was her parents' only child, Bright like the sun at noon, Like the Virgin midst the saints And among stars the moon.
She looks as in the distant seas He rises, darts his rays And leads the blackish, loaded ships On the wet, moving, ways.
To look at him every night Her soul her instincts spur; And as he looks at her for weeks He falls in love with her."
But he is eternal, he never dies, is not like humans who are ready to make mistakes and who are changeable... Although he doesn't recognize the accomplishment of love desire, he will start and even he will amplify the earthly love.
"And to her room with her slow steps He bears his steps and aims Weaving out of his sparkles cold A toil of shaking flames.
She can only talk with him in dreams...
"She looked at him and smiled, asleep; He quivered in the glass, For in her dream he followed deep To reach her soul, alas!
She speaks with him in sleep and sighs While her heart's swelled veins drum: -"O sweet Lord of my fairy nights, Why comest thou not? Come! "
And he listens and trembles and Still more for her love craves And as quick as the lightning he Plunges into the waves.
The water in that very spot Moves rolling many rings And out of the unknown, dark, depth A superb young man springs.
" From my sphere hardly I come to Follow thy call and thee, The heaven is my father and My mother is the sea.
O come, my treasure wonderful And thy world leave aside; For I am Evening-star up from And thou wouldst be my bride."
But she couldn't understand him...because she's just a human and he's immortal.
" But if thou wantest my flamed love And that would not be sham, Come down on this temporal earth, Be mortal as I am!
-O thou art beautiful as but In dreams an angel shows, The way though thou hast opened for me For me's forever closed! "
At the end of poem Hyperion,the Evening Star don't descends, he is just resingned in his eternal solitude.
" You live in your sphere's narrowness And luck rules over you - But in my steady world I feel Eternal, cold and true! "
It's rather a sad story because the dream doesn't come true...
