1. What is the full content of Rabindranath Tagore’s “Fireflies”?

Full text of Firefly:

Little fireflies, in the woods, in the dark twilight,

How joyfully you spread your wings!

You poured out your heart in joy.

You are not the sun, you are not the moon,

Is your fun reduced?

You have completed your survival.

You light your own lamp;

All you have is your own.

You are indebted to no one for grace;

You just obeyed.

The power within you.

You broke free from the bonds of darkness,

You are small, but you are not insignificant.

Because all the light in the universe,

They are all your relatives.

Light yourself up in the dark night sky and send a ray of light to you far away.

All that happiness comes from the burning me and the blurry you in the dark night.

2. What kind of life philosophy does Tagore’s “Fireflies” convey?

The background of writing this poem is: India was under British colonial rule at that time, and the Indian people had no equality and freedom. The exploitation and oppression of imperialism forced people to "break through" the "shackles of darkness" and rise up to resist and struggle. Workers' strikes, peasants' uprisings, and anti-imperialist and anti-feudal movements were one after another. "Little fireflies" are small creatures that we are familiar with. "In the woods" and "in the dark twilight", it is so "tiny". The light it emits is very weak, neither as bright as the sun nor as bright as the moon. But in the eyes of the author, fireflies belong to themselves completely. They do not rely on any power. They "only obey" their own "inner power". They are full of vitality and vitality. Their mission is to "break through" the "shackles of darkness" and throw themselves into the "all light" of the universe. They are "happy". The little fireflies embody Tagore's positive and optimistic attitude towards life, and also embody the poet's deep thoughts and feelings. More importantly, the poet's thoughts and feelings are permeated with the national spirit of the Indian people's struggle for freedom. Workers' strikes, peasant uprisings, and anti-imperialist and anti-feudal movements are as weak as the light of fireflies, but the poet, in the process of extensive contact with social life, deeply felt how valuable and great this awakened national spirit is. Therefore, in the eyes of the poet, fireflies are the image of "tiny strong men".

Appreciation: Countless birds fly through the sky without leaving any traces, but the birds have already flown very hard. This sentence means that although what you do is unknown, unheard of, and unseen by others. The so-called success is not to gain recognition, but to have tried hard, struggled, and gone through it. Many things happened but left no traces, and small things did not change the overall situation, but they did happen. As long as you go through it, it is worth it.
