Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 50 “When You Are Old”

The cultural salon of Time Magazine ended at 10:30 in the evening. After returning to Sykes from the Red Lantern Tavern, Kevin felt it was too early. I plan to write something in my mind.

Anyway, Kevin has promised Wall to write a manuscript for Time Magazine. In addition to the cultural salon tonight, Kevin decided to write a short story for Time Magazine. It is also good for those who despise themselves to see what a good work is.

“Time Magazine” opened a special column for Kevin, which is also a credit to Kevin’s pen. Therefore, Kevin’s first article is very important. After all, if the first article of a new column is not well written, it will not leave a good image for readers. This will also directly affect the results of this column.

Just do it, Kevin immediately turned on the computer, and then thought in his heart which literary master’s short works should be copied down.

At this time, he thought of Yeats, the outstanding British poet-“When You Are Old”.

Yeats’s full name is William Butler Yeats. William Butler Yeats is a poet in the modernist poetry world of the 20th century and T·S·Elliott. His creative theory and practice are of great influence on modern and contemporary poetry. The impact is undoubtedly profound. He was called “the greatest poet of our time” by Eliot. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923 for his outstanding contributions to the Renaissance at that time. His creative style has had a great influence on Ezra Pound, James Joyce and even Eliot. Even in the contemporary era, his works are still being read by countless foreign readers.

The poem “When You Are Old” is one of Yeats’ representative romantic works. “When You Are Old” is a passionate and sincere love poem written by Yeats to his girlfriend Maut Gunney. The language of the poem is concise, but the emotion is rich and real. This poem is perfect in both artistic expression and vocabulary, so Kevin has reason to believe that readers will not resist it.

So, Kevin started typing on the keyboard:

When you are old, with sideburns, drowsiness,

Take down this book while napping by the stove,

recite slowly, dreaming of the past in your eyes

has a soft look, deep reflections in his eyes;

How many people love your charming and charming time,

The beauty of loving you comes from false or true feelings,

But there is only one person who loves the sincerity of your soul,

I love the sad wind and frost on your declining face;

bent down, beside the red fireplace,

whispered sadly, how did Eros escape,

Take a leisurely stroll on the top of the mountains above your head,

hides his face among the stars.

It turns out that Kevin was right to choose to write poetry at this time, because it took only a few minutes to write such a poem.

After Kevin got it done, he checked if there was any wrong letter, and then he sent it to Wall through the mailbox.

In order to live up to the expectations of Wall and Time Magazine, Kevin posted the manuscript to Wall and published it on Twitter.

“The latest poems will be published in Time Magazine in the near future. I hope you can support me. I have a column.”

After finishing posting, Kevin read the news on the computer, then turned off the computer and went to sleep. At the same time, those fans who watched Twitter started to mobilize again.

“Oh, Kevin finally wrote poetry again. It is said that he was able to enter the semi-finals of the London Literary Contest because of a poem.”

“Yeah, I really want to see what the poems written by Kevin look like. It is said to be very romantic, and the romantic one wants to make people die.”

“Should there be no such romantic poetry to death? Oh, the legendary poetic **** Alice might have written it, but that is a myth.”

“No matter what, I will buy a copy of Time Magazine and see it. I am curious about the poems written by this genius boy.”

“Yes, I want to buy it too. Anyway, Time Magazine doesn’t need a lot of money.”

At this time, the fans of Kevin began to be full of curiosity about the poems written by Kevin. Yes, who can write such a wonderful story as “Jane Eyre”, what would his poems be like?

Eighteen-year-old Jenny Norfolk has just come out of the shower. She is wearing a thin transparent nightgown, which looks particularly **** and charming. Because she has the habit of watching Twitter before going to bed. So, when she logged into Twitter, she saw Kevin published this text.

“Poetry? Yes, maybe you should write it very romantic.”

At this time, Jenny Norfolk was also full of curiosity about Kevin’s poems. In order to be able to see the poems written by Kevin for the first time, she decided to order people in the bookstore to enter as many times as possible tomorrow morning. “The goods, in this way, are also support for the article written by Kevin.

When Kevin woke up the next day, it was just after 7 o’clock in the morning in London. There is no difference between 7 o’clock in London and 7 o’clock in Edinburgh. People are still so busy. Shopping for groceries, going to work, traveling, or practicing football. All these make up this prosperous and busy big. city. The cultural salon activities are also over, if nothing happens. Kevin decided to go back to Edinburgh in the afternoon.

When Wall came to work at the company, he opened the mailbox and saw Kevin’s contribution.

“Oh, it’s a poem, not bad.” Wall muttered to himself.

This is a short poem, but Wall spent half an hour on it. It’s not that he has dyslexia, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, but that the poem is too romantic and perfect. He couldn’t help but watch it several times. Maybe he has a good memory, and he can already memorize it at this time.

“It’s a perfect poem. Maybe there is not a writer or poet in English literature that can write such a beautiful poem. Kevin, you are amazing.”

Wall couldn’t help but praise Kevin for his writing. He didn’t expect Kevin to be so fast, even before the contract was officially signed, he had already submitted a manuscript.

“Kevin said things”, haha, it seems that this guy is going to talk about love first.

Wall said with a smile.

Kevin was so sincere, and Wall did not delay. He immediately asked the company’s affairs department to get a contract, and then called Kevin to the company at noon, and the two officially signed the contract for the column.

According to the contract, Wall returned Kevin the highest treatment. That is a guarantee of 3000 pounds per article. This is a good number, after all, Kevin is still a newcomer writer.

After Kevin came out of Time Magazine, he couldn’t help but sigh that this country that focuses on literature gives writers a high fee. Perhaps, only in this way will more literary talents devote themselves to the ranks of creation. Thank you for your support. Papaya is really happy. Although I have to go to work every day, I will work hard to save the manuscript. Now I use mobile phone codes even when I go to the toilet. So, I hope to get your support. In that case, papaya will be more motivated. I wish you all the best, and remember to take care of yourself. Only when you are well, will you have the energy to support my work and recommend my work.
