The article analyzes stanzas 5,6,7, “Waves” number 2
Referring to love poetry, it is impossible not to mention the poetess Xuan Quynh, one of the outstanding poets of modern Vietnamese poetry. Xuan Quynh writes about real love, her poetry is tender, abundant but also fierce and strong. In the year 1967, when our country was in the days of fighting against the enemy to save the country. In addition to the battle epics praising the revolutionary spirit of the soldiers, there are also love songs of life, Xuan Quynh wrote the poem “Waves” with its own features among the beauty of poetry. Around this time, “Wave” vividly expressed the beauty in the soul of the poetess and at the same time showed the talent in Xuan Quynh’s pen when expressing her inner emotional feelings full of emotion. economics through poetry.
The poem “Waves” has brought readers to the horizons of joy and sadness, anxiety, happiness and even the horizon of faithfulness in love. The sources of intense emotions in love are most clearly shown in stanzas 5, 6, and 7 of the poem:
“The wave in the depths
Waves on the water
Oh the waves miss the shore
Can’t sleep day and night
My heart misses you
Even in my dreams I’m awake”
Xuan Quynh very subtly used the image of waves to refer to me – the girl in love. I am like the waves in the ocean, whether it is on the deep bottom of the vast ocean or just fleetingly floating on the sea, I will always remember you – the person I love. That nostalgia has transcended the vast space, no matter how deep the sea is, it cannot be measured by the nostalgia in you. The waves of the sea are also the waves of my heart that are rolling violently in me, how strong the nostalgia for my loved one is. The “oh” voice sounded so earnest, nostalgia welled up in the depths of a girl’s heart. The waves outside are still like that with each wind, whether it’s calm or fierce day and night, they still beat to the shore, if they still find the shore, I’m the same, also miss you day and night, looking forward to coming to you. That inconsolable nostalgia is always in the mind, making “em” unable to keep awake, worrying about “can’t sleep”, even in the dream is still the silhouette of the lover in it. Nostalgia transcends the flow of time, day and night of love, of love. The love in Xuan Quynh’s soul is so sincere, intimate, deep and intense. That nostalgia is like the nostalgia of an old girl:
“Remember who you are recovering from
It’s like standing on a fire, like sitting on a pile of straw.”
Love is so passionate, even though there is a long distance, each person has their own direction, their loyalty and loyalty will always burn in the bottom of their hearts. No matter where the lover is, whether in the cold North or in the far South, it will not make me discouraged, just remember, stop thinking about you. Distance doesn’t matter when the heart always looks in one direction- your direction- the direction of our love. Geographic distance cannot overcome the love of intense love, when two people’s hearts are connected like a red thread, when the other person has fully placed their trust in each other. The word “although” combines with two verb phrases “to return to the South”, “to go to the North” as a way of expressing challenges and obstacles in love and overcoming those difficulties with strong love. paralysis. The oath I swear to you wherever I go is so precious, so precious. As a girl, but Xuan Quynh did not stand there waiting for love, the poet always showed her initiative, to the poet, love must always be clear and equal, to love is to live true. wholeheartedly, wholeheartedly with love, so that the poems are not only cute and lovely, but also full of firmness, determination and determination.
In life, each job has its own difficulties and pressures, just like in love, each love has its own set of obstacles and challenges. However, if we try together, cultivate together, understand and tolerate each other, then love will also bear fruit, the day when love will reach the final destination of the happy shore:
“Out there in the ocean
Those hundred thousand waves
Which one does not come to shore?
Despite all the obstacles”
The waves in the vast ocean have also overcome many storms, and the wind and rain have patted the peaceful sandy shore. Like love, you and I must try together, holding hands to step through the hardships, temptations and storms of a new life to the perfect day. An old folk song has a saying:
“Love each other and climb mountains
Several river wading, some also pass through”
Love is power or love has brought such great power. Although three stanzas are not too long, it is enough for us to see a soul that loves wholeheartedly and lives with the love of female artist Xuan Quynh. That poem is also the heart of many people who are in love and being loved, especially young people who are rich in desire to love. The authentic “wave” has touched all readers’ hearts with the most natural emotions, making them vibrate and sob with each sound and melody of the poem.

From time immemorial, love has always been the inspiration of many poets. However, each poet has a different way of expressing himself. It can be as philosophical as in Tagore’s poetry or as passionate and burning as in Xuan Dieu’s poetry. With the poem “Waves” by Xuan Quynh is a love full of worries, concerns and longing for happiness in everyday life of a woman…
If narrative works often reflect the author’s thoughts and feelings through the objective representation of real life through story situations, events, characters, details, etc., poetry comes into the reflection. the world of the human soul before deep subtle vibes, before the colorful life. Therefore, Le Quy Don said: “Poetry originates from the heart”. It can be said that Xuan Quynh’s poem “Waves” clearly shows that. This work was written in 1967, when the author had a field trip to Diem Dien sea. Standing in front of the endless, continuous waves of the sea, Xuan Quynh has noticed the harmony between the waves, the state of the waves with the emotions and aspirations in the soul of a woman when in love.
The poem “Waves” is printed in the collection “Flowers along the trenches” – a collection of typical poems of Xuan Quynh during the years of the resistance war against the US. In this work, the poet used two images “wave” and “em” which are sometimes separate, sometimes unified, sometimes merged into one to express the beauty in the love of a woman’s soul. female. At the same time, Xuan Quynh brought a new and humane conception of love and people during the fierce anti-American years.
The fifth stanza is the stanza with the highest number of verses in “Waves”. Six verses stand in the middle of the poem like a tidal wave rising from the center of the work, in which the first four lines are the smoldering, earnest nostalgia of the wave:
“The wave in the depths
Waves on the water
Oh the waves miss the shore
Can’t sleep day and night”
The author has used the phrase “wave” repeated many times in a row. Thereby not only creating a lively poetic voice suitable for the emotional circuit, but also emphasizing the image of a flowing and overflowing wave in nostalgia. Under the delicate pen of the poetess, those waves become more soulful, containing thoughts and feelings like a real person. It is a tender nostalgia, a nostalgia for the dear berth “the shore”. With a unique personification method with the verb “remember”, the reader seems to be able to feel a pain hidden in the shape of the waves. More specifically, Xuan Quynh also uses a pair of evocative opposite words “on the water” – “under the deep”, “day” – “night”, creating a parallel and symmetrical structure that makes the language more interesting. The poetic language is balanced and harmonious, the music is rhythmic, but above all, it emphasizes the unrelenting “nostalgia for the shore” of the waves.
No matter where you are, whether you are sleeping peacefully in the deep sea or moving on the vast ocean, the waves always “remember the shore”, always heading to the distant place, to your peaceful resting place. . That nostalgia is always present in the image of a wave and it seems to cover the vast space of the sea, lasting endlessly over time. Whether in a calm day or a quiet night, the waves are still awake “can’t sleep”. The poetess continues to use subtle and expressive personification. That “nostalgia for the shore” must be so fierce, how can it make the wave “can’t sleep”? It is no longer an inanimate, inanimate thing, but that wave has long carried in it a soul, a soul that knows “remember”, knows “cannot sleep” because of anxiety. Reading these verses, one not only feels the vibrant and intense tones of the waves, but also imagines the waves rising in the middle of the sea with nostalgia covering the whole space, stretching over time. time. From the nostalgia of the wave, Xuan Quynh expressed the nostalgia of “em” confidently and directly:
“My heart misses you
Even in my dreams I’m awake”
If the woman before only dared to express her nostalgia indirectly, the woman in Xuan Quynh’s poetry broke the barrier and actively and directly affirmed her love. Here, Xuan Quynh used the word “heart” correctly to describe a woman’s feelings for love. The heart is the deepest place of the soul, the heart is the crystallization of emotions that have been distilled for a long time through many trials. Therefore, that heart is not superficial but is the liver and intestines of a woman. “My heart misses you” is a simple affirmation, sincere but passionate, tender and bold. This proves that a woman’s nostalgia and love must be very burning, earnest and intense to have the courage to assert her heart in such an active way. This is also the beauty of free, modern love. Then that nostalgia is not only in emotions or consciousness, but it has become the nostalgia of the subconscious: “Always awake in the dream”.
If only understood according to the perception of common sense, when dreaming is sleeping, the sleep state is completely opposite to the waking state. So “even in the dream is awake” is very absurd, contrary to common perception. However, the poem is still praised and received. Why is that? Perhaps it is because it is explained by the law of love. In love, everything that makes no sense can become reasonable, and here too. Perhaps only people who have been living in the nostalgia of love can fully feel those emotions. It can be said that Xuan Quynh has brought readers deep and new feelings about love in the soul of a woman. This is also the typical emotional state for those who have been, are and will be in love. And behind that passionate “you” nostalgia is a powerful affirmation for a deep and beautiful love.
In the sixth stanza, we again encounter a woman’s beauty when in love: her loyalty, her lipstick. The woman in Xuan Quynh’s poetry is not only strongly reaching out to the great sea to find a new, more beautiful love, but also a faithful daughter with her feelings, although ready to leave everything but when find a happy shore and be one-hearted with the one you love:
“Though to the North
Even if it’s back to the South
Everywhere I think
Towards you – one direction”
First of all, in the first two verses, we find Xuan Quynh’s expression interesting:
“Though to the North
Even if it’s to the South”
In the familiar way of saying Vietnamese people, people usually just say “downwards southwards-northwards”. However, Xuan Quynh wrote “downwards north and south”. Why did the author not write according to the usual rules but suddenly reversed like that? At that time, the South was the front line, the North was the rear, which we often talk about going forward and backward. This confirms more clearly the hardships, indecisions, ups and downs that “em” has to face. Is it possible that the poet still wants to affirm that even though things are always changing, life is always crazy, people’s hearts are easy to change black and white, easy to turn upside down, women are always faithful in love. . The poet also uses the art of structural message “although…” to affirm the strength, boldness and sincerity of a woman when in love. Despite going through all the ups and downs, a woman is always faithful to her love and happy with her choice. It seems that Xuan Quynh wants to deny all difficulties and contradictions to love – a true love that a woman desires to have. Closing in the reader’s heart are two verses:
“Everywhere I think
Towards you – one direction”
The poem reads out to see the heart of a woman when in love. I don’t hear the sound of the waves, only the sound of your heart. Xuan Quynh affirmed sincerely and strongly: Whether going north or south, whether going backwards or forwards, whether going to the forest or into the sea, wherever you are, even going to the horizon, the corner of the ocean, No matter how far away I am, I will always think of you, always look forward to you. And although heaven and earth have four directions and eight directions, my heart has only one direction – your direction. The “-” sign is placed in the middle of the verse, separating the two words “one-way” into one clause. That has created the highlight, depth and passion of poetic emotions. Xuan Quynh was indeed very confident and sincerely expressed her loyal feelings to him. That is the confidence of a brave woman who dares to love and also dares to go to the end to achieve the love of life.
Faithfulness in love is a beauty associated with the tradition of Vietnamese women. At the same time, this is also an important quality of true love, of everyday happiness. Praise for the faithful heart of a woman in love has affirmed the noble human value in Xuan Quynh’s poetry. In order to have love that is both passionate, intense and pure, the wave must cross the vast ocean to reach “your shore”.
“Out there in the ocean….
Despite all the obstacles”
A woman in love who believes in love will come to a happy shore despite going through many difficulties and challenges. Right! A true, true love, a strong belief in love will help them overcome the storms of life and reach the future shore of happiness. Let’s look at reality as a rule, even if the wind is far away from the shore, it will find long sandy beaches despite many difficulties. My love, despite many obstacles, I still overcome to come to you, to a family like Che Lan Vien once wrote:
“Tree after tree runs to you
Counting trees and growing more trees
Your love is the last tree
When I return to my hometown, I grow up to the floor.”
Three stanzas with nostalgia, concern and steadfast loyalty along with repetition, personification, metaphor, using opposite words with opposing images have affirmed strong belief in love, Beautiful love will overcome all challenges. Sincerely with love, longing to live forever with love, the poet was a little anxious and worried about the melting of time, human life is also fragile and so is the happiness of Xuan Quynh’s loving heart. But remembering deeply, passionate love always accompanies anxiety:
“Life is so long”
Years still go by
Like the sea, even though it’s wide
Clouds still fly away
A hundred years of human life seems to be long and deep, but the ship of time keeps rushing away without waiting for us. Through the contemplation of a sensitive heart the poet realizes that the universe is eternal – human life is finite.
“Life is so long”
The years still go by.”
Worried about falling love, fading, when standing in front of the flow of time. But that woman still believes in the future of love, in the true meaning of love
“Like the sea, though wide”
Clouds still fly away
“Wave” is a resoundingly successful work of Xuan Quynh. The poem reveals all the levels in love, expressing unrequited love, loyalty, earnestness, nobility and nostalgia, faith in love that does not accept a mediocre love. and narrow. Longing for a beautiful and faithful love. It takes a loyal soul to have such beautiful and shimmering poems. Xuan Quynh has contributed a passionate breath, a beautiful sound of waves to freshen up the modern Vietnamese poetry.

Love is an eternal theme in poetry, music, and painting, it makes people drunk, remembering, sulking, worrying about pain. Vietnamese poets have had many times to “spread words” to express their feelings when experiencing this special state, including Xuan Quynh with the poem Wave. The work was written by the poetess in 1967, when she had a field trip to Diem Dien sea, Thai Binh province. Standing in front of the endless, endless waves of the sea, Xuan Quynh felt the harmony between each wave and the emotions of a woman when in love, from which Wave was born. Printed in “Flowers along the trenches”, is a collection of typical poems of female poets during the years of resistance against the US. It can be said that the deep and precious feelings of a woman in love are shown most clearly in stanzas 5, 6, and 7 of the work. So let’s analyze the poem Wave stanza 5 6 7 to see that.
Xuan Quynh’s poem Waves With the largest number of sentences in the poem is the 5th stanza, in the first four verses the reader can witness the waves of the heart that are constantly rising, followed by many smoldering nostalgia. die:
“The wave in the depths
Waves on the water
Oh the waves miss the shore
Can’t sleep day and night
The “wave” is repeated many times to create a lively poetic voice, more importantly, it is a metaphor for the nostalgia that is constantly rolling in the heart of the lover. With her delicate pen, Xuan Quynh has made a very ordinary phenomenon come alive, filled with thoughts and concerns like a real person. The pair of powerful contrasting words evoking the images “under the sea – on the water”, “day – night” not only make the verse harmoniously proportionate, create rhythmic poetry but also emphasize the nostalgia for the shore. incessant waves of waves. Wherever you are, silently in the deep ocean or present on the vast sea, there is always one thing in the waves that never changes, that is, nostalgia for the shore, always looking to the shore as a place to stop. Dearest, most peaceful. That nostalgia seems to cover all the vast space of the sea, stretching out according to the endless flow of time.
Analysis of the poem Waves stanza 5 6 7- Your love is like a thousand waves of the sea The “can’t sleep” in the fourth verse reminds us of the lines Minh Hue once wrote:
“I don’t sleep tonight
For a common reason
Uncle is Ho Chi Minh”
Here, Uncle Ho’s initiative “doesn’t sleep” is because he has a heavy heart for his homeland, the country, and Xuan Quynh’s “day and night can’t sleep” is only a personal sentiment, but it is the common heart of millions of women. Vietnamese women when suffering from separation. Xuan Quynh’s “wave” must be said to be “very human” because it knows how to “remember”, know “can’t sleep”, so that from here the author expresses “em” directly, without hesitation. cheek:
“My heart misses you
Even in my dreams I’m awake.”
In the culture of the East, especially at that time, the love affair between a man and a woman was always initiated by the man because we had the idea of ”buffalo looking for a stake”, but here Xuan Quynh actively expressed her feelings, directly affirming love, breaking all barriers. “Pile” now no longer waits for “buffalo” to find, but pulls himself out of his assigned position to find buffalo, it is great love that has motivated this brave boldness. Not only do I miss you when I’m awake, but I also think about you in my dreams, unconsciously you are the only special figure that I remember. Through this, we can see how sincere and intense the feelings that a woman has for her lover. Without drawing distant vows and promises, Xuan Quynh let her poems flow with very natural and loving whispers:
“Though to the North
Even if it’s back to the South
Everywhere I think
Towards you – one way.”
Analysis of the poem Waves stanza 5 6 7- The waves that follow each other constantly hitting the shoreStructural measures combined with the opposing pairs of words “forward – reverse”, “North – South” have covered the whole space vast space, not only within the country but wider than the universe. The word “although” is repeated to emphasize the negative, regardless of the distance between you and me, I’m here always thinking of you, one-heartedly looking forward to and waiting for you. The word “thinking” is used by the poet, besides simply meaning thinking in the human mind, it also has the intention of highlighting the will, beliefs and aspirations of a girl. They are no longer timid, waiting for the initiative from the other side, according to them love must always be clear and equal, when they have decided to give their love to someone, they must love to love, love fully. wholeheartedly. Because of such a mind, each line of Xuan Quynh’s poetry when resounding not only has something lovely but also full of solidity, determination and determination. The stanza is both a sincere expression and a beautiful embodiment of the faithfulness of a girl in love. Love often makes people sink into fantasy, but with Xuan Quynh, the poet looks at it with very realistic eyes that:
“Out there in the ocean
Those hundred thousand waves
Which one does not come to shore?
Despite many obstacles”
Difficulty is a constant thing in life and in love too, it never lets me be absent. But if you understand each other, for each other, know how to work together to cultivate, you will receive sweet results, bringing love to a happy shore. Here, “em” believes that when there is a true, true love with strong faith, it will help us overcome many hardships and deadlocks of life. As in front of my eyes is the sea, at my feet are waves, the waves are constantly crashing on the shore, before reaching this peaceful and calm shore, those waves have had to overcome many storms, wind and rain. “Though there are many obstacles” like that, every wave will eventually come to the shore because there is enough faith and great love in it. Reading these verses of Xuan Quynh, we see similarities with the old folk song:
“Love each other and climb mountains
Several river wading, some also pass through.”
Love will give people the strength to overcome the seemingly impossible, the love of the character “em” here, although active, still retains the femininity, giving the reader the feeling that it is always there. burn and will burn even stronger to be able to find a complete happiness.
Analyzing the poem Waves stanza 5 6 7 we seem to be flowing in the poet’s love emotions, which are intense nostalgia, absolute fidelity and an unchanging trust in love. Borrowing the image of “wave” the author expressed the heart of a girl when she loves in a sincere and beautiful way. Love in Waves is passionate, passionate and full of aspiration, able to overcome all limitations, difficulties, and challenges. The poem in general and the three stanzas in particular have left a deep impression on the reader’s heart. I firmly believe that even though time has flown, for thousands of generations, these words of Xuan Quynh will always remain a beautiful sound in the hearts of poetry lovers.
The article analyzes stanzas 5,6,7, “Waves” number 11
Love is a vibration, a very sacred and default feeling in us humans, someone has said that only a new log has no love. From that, love has become a favorite subject of many writers and poets, and each writer and poet will have his or her own approach to love. One of the outstanding works of this topic is the poem “Waves” by the poetess Xuan Quynh and perhaps the best is the three stanzas five, six and seven of the poem.
In the fifth stanza of the poem “Waves”, Xuan Quynh wrote:
“The wave in the depths
Waves on the water
Oh the waves miss the shore
Can’t sleep day and night
My heart misses you
Even in my dreams I’m awake”
“The wave in the deep” and “the wave on the water” are two emotional levels and rich expressions of “you”‘s nostalgia for “you”. Just as a wave is easy to see when appearing on the sea surface and not easy to see when lying in the ocean, so “deep wave” is an expression of nostalgia in the heart and “waves on the water” It is an expression of nostalgia expressed on the outside. The nostalgia for “he” of “me” is just how intense, anxious and intense.
In particular, the two verses “My heart misses you / Both in the poem is awake” have touched and honestly expressed the heart and mind of the girl in love with a pure but no less fierce love. paralysis. “I” miss “you” both “in my dreams” and “awake”, from deep sleep to real life. The verse “Always awake in a dream” both describes the state of “you” in the dream and when in real life and describes the waking state in the dream. It sounds contradictory, but it shows the most sincere and deepest feelings in the mind and heart of the girl in love. Next Xuan Quynh wrote:
“Though to the north
Though to the south
Everywhere I think
Towards you in one direction.”
We humans can go north or south depending on our own interests and aspirations, but for “you” only “you” is the only direction in life. Once again, poetess Xuan Quynh used the same structure to enhance the nostalgia for her lover. If the north and south are the two directions of nature, heaven and earth, then “your direction” is the only direction in “my” heart, making me always turn to. The love of the new poetess is so sincere, burning and painful. For a girl, the lines of good poetry are the lines of the heart that seem a bit daring, but it is Xuan Quynh’s boldness and passionate love that helps the poetess take off in love. love. The above lines of Xuan Quynh’s poetry are also the thoughts and burning voices of a girl’s heart with nostalgia for her beloved in love.
A true love for many people is a love that is both passionate and passionate, both intense and pure and faithful, and through “Waves”, Xuan Quynh has reaffirmed to the reader the correctness once again. correctness of that concept. For Xuan Quynh, love is not an ephemeral, fanciful feeling, always filled with pink bubbles and romantic and beautiful scenarios, but love is a mundane sentiment attached to the world. with everyday life, so difficulties and difficulties in love are inevitable. Therefore, a beautiful love is a love that needs the qualities of loyalty, loyalty, willpower, and deep trust in the other to overcome all difficulties and challenges together, to reach the end of the world. happy shores in love. Xuan Quynh expressed this through the following lines of poetry:
“Out there in the ocean
Those hundred thousand waves
Which one does not come to shore?
Despite all the obstacles”
From a real and somewhat paradoxical phenomenon in nature that the wind blows from the mainland, but the waves are not completely blown away by the wind, but still whisper each wave to the shore, Xuan Quynh has linked Think and use this image to describe your love. That is, no matter how many hardships and challenges in love, it is impossible to stop the love of the poetess for her lover, she will try and persevere until the end. to the happy destination of his love, as well as the wave “No child never reaches the shore / Despite many obstacles.”
There have been many writers and poets with many works written on the topic of eternal love, but poetess Xuan Quynh is still excellent when she leaves a mark on her poetry with her work “Wave”. poems that have left in the hearts of readers many emotions and feelings overflowing.
The article analyzes stanzas 5,6,7, “Waves” number 6
Xuan Quynh’s poetry has a very unique feature, among the female poets of Vietnam, that is: sincerity and passion. In her poetry, she burns the color of a shimmering world – the world of love. Xuan Quynh’s poetry is the desire for happiness. Talking about that feeling in Xuan Quynh’s poetry means talking about “Wave”. In this poem, the nostalgia for the lover’s love is expressed by Xuan Quynh very touchingly and artistically. Memories seem to cover the vast space. It occupies the depths, the surface of the soul. And it is agonizingly expressed in the last three stanzas 5, 6, 7 of the poem “Waves”.
“The wave in the depths
Waves on the water
Oh the waves miss the shore
Can’t sleep day and night
My heart misses you
Even in my dreams I’m awake”
“The waves in the depths; The waves on the water” are rich and varied expressions of the nostalgia of “you”. “Waves on the water” is an expression of nostalgia when loving. And the “deep wave” is the nostalgia that silently settles in the heart and “even when I’m angry with you, my heart still remembers”. How deep is that nostalgia, restlessness, sobbing! Two verses “My heart misses you; Even in a dream while awake” has expressed in a very touching and true way the heart of a woman in love with a pure and intense love. “I” miss “you” from the real world to the dream world. The awakening in the dream is the truest, deepest emotion of the heart. Human feet can “turn to the North” or “back to the South”, but the heart only “towards you in one direction” like a sunflower towards the sun…
Here, once again, Xuan Quynh borrowed the overlapping structure to enhance the nostalgia of her heart. For that woman, neither the North nor the South, but only one direction. That is the direction of the mood, of the heart – “the brother”. So honest and burning, so tender! Although a bit daring, the passion of the desire for love became the fulcrum for Xuan Quynh’s poetry to take off. The above poem by Xuan Quynh is both the passionate voice of a woman’s heart in nostalgia, and was written with the artistic technique of a talented poet’s hand. Nostalgia expressed by an indirect image is not enough, it is also expressed directly as an irresistible heart, saying it out loud:
“My heart misses you
Even in my dreams I’m awake”
To emphasize the diversity of nostalgia, the author also uses the method of “wave” (three times), personifying “the wave misses the shore”, the opposite measure “underneath the heart” – “on the surface of the sea”. country”. Nostalgia here has become a permanent emotion in the poet’s “small heart without limits” that keeps rising, layering, layers seem to have reached the extreme, one after another, the urge is overflowing. in my soul. There have been so many folk songs, so many beautifully written poems about the nostalgia of a woman in love:
“I miss you not only in my sleep
I miss you not only when walking
I miss you not only when the moon shines
I miss you not only when it rains
Oh! What a wonderful memory
Oh! Why is the love so sweet
Only when we are apart will we understand
Out of heart in every passing moment”
(Hoang Thi Minh Khanh)
In this poem, Xuan Quynh has added a new voice about that sentiment with simple yet profound and unique verses.
True love is like that: both passionate and intense, pure and faithful. Because the love that the poet thinks about here is not a romantic, fanciful feeling but earthly love associated with everyday life. But ordinary life is not completely peaceful and quiet; On the contrary, sometimes there are storms and storms. Therefore, in love, it is necessary to have faithful qualities, will, energy, and emotional strength to overcome all space, time, and all obstacles to find the shore of couple’s happiness:
“Out there in the ocean
Those hundred thousand waves
Which one does not come to shore?
Despite all the obstacles”
Observe the seemingly paradoxical phenomenon of the ocean. Even though the wind blows from the shore, the waves in the distance still face the shore. “You” too, no matter how many obstacles, “you” will overcome all to come to “you”, to a happy family home… (as Che Lan Vien wrote):
“Tree after tree runs to you
Counting trees and growing more trees
Your love is the last tree
When I return to my hometown, I grow up to the floor.”
When we truly love, we can still come together, no matter how many obstacles we face. An old folk song once wrote:
“Love each other, the three mountains also climb
The five continents also wade through the river, and the bad passes also pass.”
Love is like that, always associated with faith, believing in life, believing in the person you love, believing in the power of love itself. That’s why after so many years of living under the bombardment that destroyed the precious things built by her own hands, yet in the heart of the little girl: “Moon still has love and strong faith. into life, that iridescent green thread, no matter how many bombs and bullets fall, can’t break, can’t destroy” (The piece of moon at the end of the forest). The poem “Waves” is a little bit anxious, worried about the flow of time, the brevity of his life and his love. In the midst of the heart that is passionately in love, loving wholeheartedly, there is still a very legitimate feeling of torment:
“Life is so long”
Years still go by
Like the sea, even though it’s wide
Clouds still fly away
The sea, no matter how wide, has a shore, a limit, and the clouds do not stay forever on the sea, but they continue their journey in the sky to go to the distant infinity. Likewise, although human life is long but not eternal, even though people do not expect it, the years still pass peacefully through human life according to the harsh inevitable laws of time. Space and time are infinite. Elsewhere, Xuan Quynh also had a similar verse “Time is like the wind/Season goes by months and years/Age by season goes on forever”.
Therefore, standing in front of the sea, people have a feeling of the smallness, the finiteness of human life before the eternity of the universe. Therefore, people always have the desire to live fully in love, the desire to be forever attached to this life, to integrate with the eternal life with their love. That desire, Xuan Quynh again sent in the image of “waves”: The waves melt not to disappear in the ocean but to incarnate, to exist forever in the endless other waves. In the same way, people will leave but love will stay, an endless love, eternal like waves in the ocean. This is a very human aspiration:
“How can it be melted?
Become a hundred small waves
In the big sea of love
Let the thousand years still pat”
Self-love is limited to human life. Wanting it to go into eternity, there is only one way to dissolve love into the love waves of the sea of life so that thousands of thousands of years later, that wave “Still singing along the rapids/A common love that never ends” (Xuan Dieu) ). Here, love seems to have grown larger than itself, longer than life. In the poem “Self-singing”, poetess Xuan Quynh also affirmed:
“I’m back to my true heart
It’s the flesh and blood of everyday life, who doesn’t have it?
Still stops beating when life is no more
But I know I love you even when I’m dead.”
Thus, with a woman’s loving and passionate heart, with a simple yet concise poetic style, innocent and full of art, Xuan Quynh through the poem “Waves” has highlighted the beauty and vitality of her. woman’s soul in love – a love rich in femininity, very traditional but also very modern.

Xuan Quynh is a young poet who grew up in the resistance war against the US to save the country. Prominent in Xuan Quynh’s poetry is a series of poems written about love. In which, readers who love her poetry will surely know the poem “Waves”. When talking about the tradition of a girl in love, stanzas five, six and seven fulfill their duties:
“The wave in the depths
Waves on the water
Oh the waves miss the shore
Can’t sleep day and night
My heart misses you
Even in my dreams I’m awake
Even to the north
Though to the south
Everywhere I think
Towards you – one way
Out in the ocean
Those hundred thousand waves
Which one does not come to shore?
Despite all the obstacles”
Is there any love without going through nostalgia. Whether in the space “underground” or “above the water”, whether “day” or “night”, the wave still remembers “coming to the shore” and is so restless that “cannot sleep”. Xuan Quynh took space and time to measure nostalgia in love. But who can count all the nostalgia? If the waves miss the shore, I will also think of you. That nostalgia is always in the mind of “you”. Even in my dreams I can’t stop. Nostalgia fills all space, time and subconscious. Like a folk song once described the nostalgia of lovers:
“Remember who is rejoicing,
Like standing on a fire like sitting on a pile of coals?”
Or as in Nguyen Binh’s poem “Mutual”:
“Doi village remembers Dong village”
One person nine misses ten and one person
Wind and rain is a disease of the sky
Love is my disease, I love her.”
Nostalgia in love is no longer strange, but Xuan Quynh’s expression is very special. Besides new concepts in love, Xuan Quynh still retains the traditional beauty. That is the faithful heart of a girl when in love. The poetic images of contrasting “down” and “backward”, “north” and “south” are used by the poet with profound artistic intentions. Usually, people often say “back to the north” and “down to the south”. But here Xuan Quynh uses the opposite way to express artistic intentions. Even though life is constantly changing, we have to go through many ups and downs, things are always changing. Then for “em”, anywhere “anywhere” – a frivolous phrase, not clearly defined in space and time, is still towards “my direction” – a single direction. The heart of “you” is always intact for “you”, towards “you”.
Not only that, but Xuan Quynh also expressed a strong belief in love. In that distant ocean, there are hundreds of thousands of waves crashing. But in the end, every wave finds its shore. Just like “you” and “you, even though life has to go through thousands of ups and downs, sometimes we have to be apart. In the end, “you” and “you” will still meet again. And our love will last forever:
“I’m back to my true heart
It’s the flesh and blood of everyday life, who doesn’t have it?
Also stops beating when life is no more
But know I love you even when I’m dead
The seventh stanza is not just an affirmation of faith for love. It is also a word of consolation and encouragement for those who are in love, to have more strength to overcome thousands of “obstacles”, to find a happy shore.
Reading “Waves” by Xuan Quynh, readers seem to appreciate love more. And no matter how strong Xuan Quynh’s woman in love is, they still retain the traditional beauty of the old woman.

Voltaire once said “Poetry is the music of the soul, especially the noble and sentimental soul”, affirming the rhythm of the soul imbued in each verse. Therefore, we have the opportunity to meet the deep soul of a girl in love, through the poem “Song” by poet Xuan Quynh. The fifth, sixth, and seventh stanzas crystallize the poet’s pen power and the rich voice of his heart.
After a field trip to Diem Dien beach, inspiration surged in the poet’s heart when he saw the image of waves in the ocean. The poem is quoted in the collection “Flowers along the trenches” (1967). When the whole country was in harmony with the echoes of the long-term resistance war, writers often used the love of the couple – the ego to pave the way to the love of the country – the self. Then, Xuan Quynh’s poetry was purely about the love of the couple, so “Wave” became a strange flower in the artistic flower garden at that time.
Borrowing the image of a wave throughout the poem to express the emotional thoughts of a girl when in love, Xuan Quynh is not the first. Nguyen Thi Hong Ngat also sent passionate love to the sea:
“The sea loves the land madly and generously
I want to push the shore but I’m afraid of the pain…
You know, the sea is me.”
But Xuan Quynh is unique when using an incomplete metaphor between “you” and the wave, creating a harmonious combination between ocean waves and heart waves. If in the previous stanzas, the wave is self-conscious about its own soul, reflecting on the origin of love, then in stanza five, the wave and the lyrical character perceive the attributes of a couple’s love:
“The wave in the depths
Waves on the water
Oh, the waves miss the shore
Can’t sleep day and night
My heart misses you
Even in my dreams I’m awake”
The anthropomorphic measure turns the wave into the subject of the nostalgia of the heart that loves passionately. The word “wave” evokes the image of waves of nostalgia flowing from one layer to another, showing both the overflowing, boiling, and endless, deep-seated feelings of love. The longing, overwhelming nostalgia, the time “deep, water”, “night, day” carries boundless dimensions in the girl’s mind, never silenced by the waves of nostalgia. The female singer sent her heart into the waves as if she was not satisfied, so “I” directly appeared to speak from the depths of her heart: “My heart misses you”, the stanza border is widened by overflowing emotions. ” not only makes “em” awake, but also occupies the subconscious and unconscious of the girl. The poet breaks all limits to bring readers to the infinite world of the human soul. Waves with “em” think Think about loyalty in love:
“Though to the north
Though to the south
Everywhere I think
Towards you in one direction.”
The opposite measure “backward, forward” recreates the figure of a girl who takes love as a fulcrum to worry about in different journeys of life. The poet puts the concept of the south next to the north, the south separates the geographical space and love. If in the four directions and eight directions people are easily lost, in love, “em” refers to towards a direction “you”, which is also the essence of true love.The iron heart leads the character “em” to cross the same way back to the happy shore like a wave pointing to the final destination of the shore. The author looks deeply into his heart to grasp the law of the wave.The wave and “em” also voice their belief in the future of perfect love:
“Out there in the ocean
Those hundred thousand waves
Which one does not come to shore?
Despite all the obstacles”
The image estimates “hundreds of thousands” of waves that cross all distances to the shore, arousing in the poet’s heart the belief that love is a luggage, bringing people to the final destination of life, which can be overcome. to the limits of life. It’s not a superficial, impulsive thinking, but an awareness of the laws and truths of life, so it’s pure, complete and earnest, burning.
Xuan Quynh’s poem “Waves” is both gentle when boiling, contemplative and quiet. The ingenious way of building images, combining vivid words and five-letter poetry with a flexible tone, helps readers understand the complicated heart of a girl when in love in the journey of realizing the laws of love. righteous, praising the human voice of man.

It can be said that love is an eternal topic that many poets and writers want to aim for. We have known Xuan Dieu – the king of love poetry with intense and passionate love feelings. Or an Anh Tho with a little shyness, shyness of a girl when in love. Love, whatever it is, is beautiful and true. Xuan Quynh is a female poet known for her compositions imbued with women’s thoughts and feelings. She longs to love and be loved. People encounter couple’s love with many sacred emotions through “Boat and Sea”. Love with nostalgia, compassion is once again shown clearly and somewhat stronger through the poem “Wave”. In the poem, the poet has expressed the nostalgia for his lover in the most clear and powerful way in three stanzas 5, 6, 7.
“Wave” was composed during the poet’s field trip in Diem Dien sea. It was composed in 1967, printed in the volume “Flowers along the trenches”. The poem is the voice of the poet’s heart or the voice of the hearts of women who are immersed in the sweetness of love. It is the synthesis of all emotions of love, there is love, there is love, there are gentle nostalgia as well as intense and painful nostalgia.
“The waves in the depths…
Despite many obstacles”
The poet has skillfully used the image of the wave to splash to symbolize the woman. Waves “violent and gentle” are also the emotions of a girl when in love, sometimes sweet, romantic gently, earnestly, sometimes hot, intense and full of attraction.
“The wave in the depths
Waves on the ground
Oh the waves miss the shore
Can’t sleep day and night”
In the middle of the vast and vast sea, there are so many waves, how can we count them all. The waves are so many, so endless, but they all have the same nostalgia for the shore. There are gentle, rolling waves on the surface of the water or waves bending in the depths. No matter what wave it is, they want to be washed ashore, cuddled and patted on the sandy shore standing in there, waiting, waiting. From the bottom of the wave to the top of the wave, everyone wants to quickly touch the shore, feel the warmth from the arms that the shore is waiting for the waves to wash up. That nostalgia makes waves “can’t sleep”, always patting and moving to satisfy that longing nostalgia. The waves that miss the shore are also my nostalgia for you because love can never be without nostalgia and dreams.
“My heart misses you
Even in my dreams I’m awake”
That nostalgia seems to cling to a woman’s heart. It exists anytime, anywhere, always in my heart and can always overflow with choking, nostalgic emotions. Without seeing you, I miss you. I’ve met you, been with you, but I also miss you. That nostalgia makes me not want to leave you even for a brief moment. I don’t think about you enough during the day, nostalgia even comes back in my dreams. Even when I fall asleep, I can’t stop thinking about you. I dream of your face, of your soft voice and warm arms. In my mind, you are always present. And there are nights, nostalgia makes me unable to sleep. I sit thinking of you, remembering the person to whom I give my sincere and sincere love:
“Though to the north
Though to the south
Everywhere I think
Towards you in one direction.”
The waves are drifting in the middle of the vast and vast sea. Waves drift from south to north, to south. Either way, the waves find the right direction to hit the shore. Just like me, wherever I am, in my heart I always turn to you, only you. I think of you whenever and wherever I’ve been. My little heart seems to have been drawn a road, that road will lead to where you are standing. It will make your love touch my heart so that I can feel all the intense feelings and nostalgia that still exist in you day after day:
“Out there in the ocean
Those hundred thousand waves
Who doesn’t remember the shore?
Despite many obstacles”
In the middle of the sea, in the middle of the vast, deep blue ocean, there are so many waves created by the wind. The wind creates waves, but the wind itself also causes the waves to break and move because the wind is too strong. But no matter how many difficulties, despite the stormy rain, the waves still rise up to overcome everything and run to the shore to comfort and integrate. The wave is like my love. There is no love that is flat and full of flowers. To get together will have to go through many challenges. And to me, all those difficulties will be nothing. It can’t be strong enough to stop you from coming to me. With passionate love, I will overcome all. The stanza is like a promise, an ode to a passionate love that can overcome all barriers. It’s like my belief in my love. I believe this love will conquer all.
Thus, with true, gentle but equally intense poems, the middle three stanzas of the poem “Waves” have fully expressed the feelings of a woman who is immersed in the passionate emotions of her life. love. Love is always a sacred feeling, worthy of respect.

Love is an eternal topic that many poets and writers want to focus on. However, each brings a unique character to his work. We know Xuan Dieu with intense and passionate love feelings; a Poet with a little shyness, shyness of a girl when in love… No matter what emotions, love is still beautiful and true. We know Xuan Quynh with his compositions imbued with the thoughts and feelings of women. People encounter a couple’s love with many sacred emotions through “Boat and the Sea”. Love with nostalgia, compassion, and loyalty is once again shown clearly and somewhat more strongly through the three middle stanzas of the poem “Waves”:
“The waves in the depths…
Despite all the obstacles”
Xuan Quynh skillfully used the image of a rushing wave to symbolize a woman’s love. Waves are sometimes violent, sometimes soft, just like a girl’s emotions when in love, sometimes sweet, romantic, sometimes intense and full of charm:
“The wave in the depths
Waves on the water
Oh the waves miss the shore
Can’t sleep day and night”
The nostalgia in love of Xuan Quynh is not a fleeting, gentle nostalgia but an intense nostalgia. That nostalgia covers the whole space “The wave in the deep / The wave on the water”, the time “Oh the wave misses the shore / Day and night can’t sleep”; invade the human soul both in the unconscious, subconscious and conscious, both when awake and when dreaming. It’s a nostalgia that can’t be calm, can’t be calmed, can’t be calmed down, it’s billowing and bouncing like the endless, endless waves of the sea.
In the first four verses, the image of the wave repeats three times like a chorus of a love song with painful melodies, like a permanent obsession with love and nostalgia. Three verses associated with the image of waves like waves overlapping each other, rushing to reach the shore. It is also an artistic metaphor about the waves of heart that are rising in the soul of a woman in love. Waves are always awake. Waves do not sleep. Because waves sleep, waves do not exist. For this reason people have seen waves as the heartbeat of the sea, the heart of the sea, the life of the sea. The waves that miss the shore can’t sleep just like the nostalgia I have for you, love is always the same, indispensable memories and dreams:
“My heart misses you
Even in my dreams I’m awake”
Every human being lives in two states of “dream and awake”, and his nostalgia has erased all distances and limitations. The longing nostalgia in the girl’s soul has overcome all states. Nostalgia goes from the conscious to the unconscious. Nostalgia has become the full rhythm of love life in a woman’s soul, it is as persistent as breathing. Nostalgia for a lover persists, clinging to the heart of a woman in love. It exists at all times, always in the depths of the heart and can unconsciously overflow with choking emotions. It’s still not enough for me to miss you during the day, at night that nostalgia comes back even in my dreams. In my mind, your figure is always present, I remember your figure, I remember the picture, I remember your sweet words and warm hugs.
Although there is anxiety about the infinity of time, the woman still firmly believes in the power of love:
“Though to the north
Though to the south
Everywhere I think
Towards you – one direction”
The poet uses a hypothetical way of saying that carries premonitions about the difficult road of love, the premonition of a multi-faceted, sentimental woman’s heart that is always worried and anxious about everyday happiness. Choosing the opposite way of saying “Even if it’s going to the North / Even if it’s going to the South”, Xuan Quynh wants to affirm that no matter how paradoxical and paradoxical life is, I still only face one direction – “your side”. The vast earth and sky have four directions and eight directions, and the soul of a woman in love has only one direction. That is the direction of a faithful love that never changes as an affirmation of the constant in the midst of variables. We can see the beauty of a woman who is both modern and traditional, intense and always in need of expression but still faithful to her color. Not satisfied with that affirmation, the poet further emphasized through the image of waves:
“Out there in the ocean
Those hundred thousand waves
Which one does not come to shore?
Despite all the obstacles”
Waves yearn to reach the shore like I long for you. Waves overcome all obstacles to reach the shore like you step through all difficulties and obstacles to reach the happy landing. The wave wants to return to the shore, must overcome many storms and storms. I want to look to you to overcome the pitfalls of life. Love is associated with everyday life, but life is multi-faceted. All the arduous trials that lie ahead and are indispensable for love:
“My love is like a tree
The stormy season has passed
Our love is like a river
It’s quiet on the day of the flood”
(Late autumn love poem)
There is no love that is flat and full of roses. To get together will have to go through many challenges. And to me, all those difficulties will be nothing. It can’t be strong enough to stop you from coming to me. With passionate love, I will overcome all. Through space and time, finally the waves still return to the shore and you are with me again. Love that undergoes trials is a beautiful and noble love, but no matter how beautiful it is, it is very fragile before beginningless time.
Through three stanzas, Xuan Quynh has portrayed intense nostalgia and absolute fidelity in love. No matter where you go, no matter how turbulent, you still turn to the person you love. At the same time, the author also shows the beauty of a woman in love expressed through the image of waves. A passionate, passionate love that transcends the limits of everyday life. The three stanzas above in particular and the poem in general have left a deep and indelible impression on the reader’s heart. In the big sea of love and life today, there are many waves finding the shore. Love has always been an attractive topic for people of all ages to find the answer to the mystery of love in a tireless search. To live is to be loved, to love is to live this life to the fullest.

Xuan Quynh’s poetry is the voice of the aspirations for happiness in everyday life. That is expressed in the poem “Waves”, but most prominently in the fifth, sixth and seventh stanzas of the poem. “Waves” was composed in 1967 during a field trip in Diem Dien sea. The poem shows the beauty in the soul of a girl when in love: both modern and traditional. In love, perhaps the most special spice is nostalgia:
“The wave in the depths
Waves on the water
Oh the waves miss the shore
Can’t sleep day and night
My heart misses you
Even in my dreams I’m awake”
Like other poets, Xuan Quynh also talks about nostalgia but in her very own way. The image of “waves” appears in contrast between the space “underground” and “above the water” and the time “day” and “night”. But no matter where, at any time, the waves still remember the shore. Me too, I also remember “you” but “even in my dreams I’m awake” – strangely, I can still be awake in a dream? Does nostalgia invade a girl’s soul so that even in her sleep, the lover’s silhouette is still there. Just like the words that the king of love poetry Xuan Dieu once revealed:
“I remember the language. I remember the picture. I remember the photo.
I miss you, I miss much! Hey!
I miss you of the distant days,
Remember the smiling lips in the sky.
Miss those eyes staring at you!”
Or as in the old folk songs, there were earnest sentences:
“Remember who remembers this forever,
Remember the night when you forgot to sleep, remember the day you forgot to eat.
I miss you and cry silently,
Two rows of tears dress like rain
Remember who went out in a daze,
Remember anyone who remembers now who remember?
Remember who is rejoicing,
Like standing on a fire like sitting on a pile of coals?”
(Folk)
A girl in love, always maintains her loyal heart. Ho Xuan Huong once affirmed that in the poem “Bread floating water”:
“My body is white and round at the same time
Seven floating sunken with water
Snakes break even though the hands of the molders
But I still keep my heart.”
Here, Xuan Quynh also revealed that. Just like every wave, no matter how far away, in the end, it still finds the shore. So is my heart:
“Though to the North
Even if it’s back to the South
Everywhere I think
Towards you – one direction”
Life always contains many changes, no one can predict what will happen in the future. But even if I “go to the North” or “back to the South”, my heart will not change. Here, if according to the usual rule, people will say “downward South, reverse North”, but Xuan Quynh chose to say as above to show that love does not follow any natural laws. However, wherever I go, I always go to only one direction, which is “your side”. My faithful heart is still for only one person – you. And thanks to her faithful heart, the girl has a deep and strong belief in love:
“Out there in the ocean
Those hundred thousand waves
Which one does not come to shore?
Despite all the obstacles”
In the middle of the endless ocean, there are hundreds of thousands of waves. And even if there are many obstacles – even if the sea is rough, the sky is stormy, in the end the waves will still overcome to find the shore of peace. Just like “you” and “you”. Life is constantly changing, “Love today, tomorrow may be far away” (Tell me, Xuan Quynh). But even so, “I” still believes in that love. It is like a source of strength to help me overcome all difficulties to find you, to find happiness.
In summary, through the above stanzas, Xuan Quynh’s “Wave” has revealed the beauty of a girl in love. Those qualities are valuable and appreciated.

Xuan Quynh is one of the typical poetic faces of the anti-American era. Feminist poetry is the voice of a woman who is rich in love and affection, both innocent and fresh, sincere and loving, intensely full of desire in love, and always worried about fading and breaking. with premonitions of uncertainty. “Wave” is a typical poem for Xuan Quynh’s poetic style, a testament to M.Gorki’s famous saying: “Poetry is the soul”.
“Waves” is a poem written in 1967 on the occasion of a field trip to Diem Dien sea. At that time, Xuan Quynh had tasted enough sweetness and bitterness in love, cultivated and experienced the breakup. But that pure love is still full of longing and longing. The poem is excerpted in the volume “Flowers along the trenches” and is known as one of the fresh poems written about the burning period of the revolutionary war. Reading “Wave”, perhaps the most impressive in the hearts of readers are three stanzas about the nuances of waves and also the diverse nuances of a girl’s soul in love. Mutual love is the heart disease of eternal couples. “A heart that remembers is a heart that loves.” An old folk song has a passionate nostalgia between him and her:
“Remember who you are recovering from
Like standing on a fire, like sitting on a pile of coals
Remember who went in and out
Remember anyone who remembers now who remember?”
Poetry is ultimately attractive in its own characteristics. The tender nostalgia of a girl in love becomes attractive, after all, also in the unique features of female artist Xuan Quynh:
“The wave in the depths
Waves on the water
Oh the waves miss the shore
Can’t sleep day and night
My heart misses you
Even in my dreams I’m awake”
The five-word poetic form, short verse, fast tempo makes the poetic sound rich, like the sound of waves. Xuan Quynh skillfully uses personification to turn the waves into the subject of a passionate love heart. The word “wave” appears consecutively in three lines of the poem, both evoking the waves of nostalgia rising up layer after layer in a woman’s loving heart and evoking the deep and profound nostalgia of nostalgia. love. Nostalgia is present in the contrast of images, the space “deep – water”, of time “day – night”. It is a deep nostalgia deep in the heart, immense water surface, endless day and night.
The female singer borrowed the wave to say love, but the wave could not fully express the depth and intensity of nostalgia, so the lyrical character appeared directly to express her heart:
“My heart misses you
Even in my dreams I’m awake”
“Wake up” is awake, there is a nostalgia that never rests in Xuan Quynh’s restless heart. “Consciousness” is also the vast subconscious, the nostalgia that transcends both reality and dream. Thus, nostalgia not only penetrates at the conscious level, but also penetrates into the subconscious to appear in each dream. The bubbling ups and downs of the nostalgia made the emotions overflow, increasing the volume from four to six lines of poetry, highlighting the end of nostalgia. With these lines, Xuan Quynh broke the limits, leading readers into the boundless realm of the human soul in love.
Love always has to face many challenges, including the way back in time and space. Therefore, the old couple, with the power of love, firmly established the oath of “one hundred years of a bronze word to the bone”, determined to overcome the challenge of “the three mountains also climb, the five continents also wade, poverty is also over” to be happy forever together. As for the lyrical characters “em” in Xuan Quynh’s poetry:
“Though to the North
Even if it’s back to the South
Everywhere I think
Towards you – one direction”
The poet has put the concept of the UK next to the North and the South to distinguish the two geographical spaces and love. If in geography there are four directions and eight directions, the love space in “you” only knows one direction, which is “my direction”. Those two very loving words affirm the nature of true love. The contrast “backward – forward” both evokes busyness, anxiety, and shows a stable love expressed through the journey up and down the rapids, north and south. Somewhere, there is a shadow of a woman whose fulcrum is love to take care of up and down on different journeys of life. Xuan Quynh wrote five-language poems with earnest reverberation music, beautiful images of “wave” and “em” and metaphors full of humanity. The parallel structure combined with allusions has created a constant and continuous melody like the sound of waves crashing and stirring in the heart of “em”. A unique feature of the poem “wave” is that there is always a parallel wave between the image of “wave” and “em”. Together like this to resonate, to resound:
“Out there in the ocean
Those hundred thousand waves
Which one does not come to shore?
Despite many obstacles”
Wherever you are, no matter how far away, no matter how crazy life is, I will only turn to you. Returning to the shore is the natural law of thousands of waves, always looking towards you is the reason of my heart. The words “hundred thousand”, “no”, “although” together with the contrasting structure of the relationship between conditions and events, Xuan Quynh has revealed her belief in the landing of true love and happiness after years of experience. bitter hardship. Returning to the shore, the waves lull me in peace and quiet. With you, “I” is immersed in sweet happiness. Although, when writing this poem, Xuan Quynh has tasted the bitterness of love, the longing heart of the female singer is still full of faith in true love.
The girl’s nostalgia, loyalty and great faith in that love have shown Xuan Quynh’s bold personality in poetry as well as in life, intense but loving, daring but still rich in femininity. . Xuan Quynh always dares to live true to herself, to be true to her personality. Therefore, love in “Waves” became the human voice of people at that time.
Written by the most sincere feelings and thoughts of author Xuan Quynh, when reading “Waves” young people seem to find a common voice, like finding a place to pour their heart out. More than half a century has passed, the poem “Waves” and its noble human values still leave an indelible mark in the hearts of readers.

Xuan Quynh is one of the typical poets for the generation of young poets who grew up in the resistance war against the US. Xuan Quynh’s poetry always shows a unique style. It is the poetry of a woman’s heart that is kind, sincere and longing for love. “Wave” is a typical poem for Xuan Quynh’s soul. The soul of a woman who is heavy in love, loyal, and intense when in love is expressed most deeply through stanzas 5, 6 and 7 in the poem “Waves”.
Xuan Quynh’s poetry is very emotional with different levels of happiness, sadness, and thought created from the tender voice of a very gentle woman. The poem “Waves” is the innermost feelings of the poet in the chaos of thinking about love. In stanzas, 5, 6 and 7 with simple words, contrasting, multi-dimensional and evocative images, the best qualities of a woman are clearly shown: affection, loyalty. In “The Tale of Kieu”, Nguyen Du once expressed:
“What scene does not wear sadness
Sad scene where people have fun ever”
Indeed, poets always borrow scenes to express their feelings. The poet’s heart is always tinged with the most subtle movements of the scene. Xuan Quynh borrowed the image of the wave as a symbol for a woman’s soul and declared love instead. Love has no formula. In Xuan Quynh’s poetry too, love is a sweet and seductive mystery:
“The wave in the depths
Waves on the water
Oh the waves miss the shore
Can’t sleep day and night
My heart misses you
Even in my dreams I’m awake”
The wave exists in two spaces, “deep inside” and “above the water”, affirming that a woman’s love, whether from the bottom of her heart or from the outside, is abundant and continuous.
The interjection “oh” is so powerful and magical. The author himself was surprised but had to exclaim that: the nostalgia for the shore of the wave haunts and dances in his heart to the point of “no sleep day and night”. Has the wave ever drifted? Will my nostalgia for you ever end? In the poem “Uncle does not sleep tonight”, poet Minh Hue wrote:
“I don’t sleep tonight
For a common reason
Uncle is Ho Chi Minh”
Here, Uncle Ho’s “not sleeping” initiative, which we have seen in Minh Hue’s poetry, is because of his heavy heart with water. As for the initiative “day and night without sleep” in Xuan Quynh’s poetry, it is purely emotional. But it is the common heart of millions of women suffering from separation, the sweet beauty of people when in love, so the poem is so attractive and meaningful.
The nostalgia pushes to the climax when “even in the dream is awake” to remember. Nostalgia also does not stop in the moment the character falls asleep. That shows how deep the author’s love for his beloved is. Depicting the faithful beauty of a woman when in love, Xuan Quynh did not use the vow of the moon night or the cup of smeared wine, the charming memento that the poet expressed with very natural, loving and sincere whispers. :
“Though to the North
Even if it’s back to the South
Everywhere I think
Towards you – one direction”
The two pairs of opposite words “south – north” and “downward-reverse” and structural measures have covered the entire space of Vietnam and the universe and emphasized more poetic ideas. The word “thinking” not only emphasizes the mere thought in the human mind, but also the will, belief and aspiration.
In that deep and wide sea, the girl still remained the only berth, which was “Phuong” him. The author discovered another very unique and new direction, which is the English method. That makes the poem more cute, true, more feminine. The stanza has most clearly shown the faithful beauty of a woman in love. It is not only the beauty of Xuan Quynh but also the general beauty of Vietnamese people. In the end, the wave’s strength to cross the sea to find the shore won them all:
“Out there in the ocean
Those hundred thousand waves
Which one does not come to shore?
Despite all the obstacles”
Waves of thousands of years will still beat the shore. The ocean is really wide, there are many storms, but the waves will one day reach the destination. The word “hundreds of thousands” emphasizes the abundant and full of love. The woman in the poem once again strongly emphasizes the philosophy mentioned by the ancient forefathers:
“Love each other, the three mountains also climb
Five continents rivers also wade
The loss of the pass also passed.”
