A flower is in full bloom.

No one saw a flower, really, it was so small. We don't have time-it takes time to see, just as it takes time to have a friend.

-Georgia O'Keefe

Peony, lily, poppy, musk pea flower, laurel red ... These dazzling flower pictures are the representative works of American painter Georgia O'keefee O'Keefe (1887- 1986). She likes to spend time observing flowers, just like her friends.

Powerful colors, soft lines and magnificent Georgian flower pictures are regarded as symbols of female genitalia. As early as the 1920s, she became a representative figure of independent female artists in the United States. Georgia magnifies the microscopic world of stamens infinitely, subtly revealing the deepest beauty secret of life between abstraction and concreteness-this is women's self-exploration, viewing and cognition, and the power of giant picture frames seems to engulf the viewers.

Great art always has something in common. At the moment when I was hit by a Georgian flower, I thought of an equally brave and beautiful woman, the poet Yu Xiuhua, who used poetry to express her true feelings and kept her mouth shut. In the poem "A Flower is Blooming", Yu Xiuhua's description of the moment of blooming is no less than the color of Georgia.

yu xiuhua

Put all the eggs in one basket: in the crater, at the entrance to the sea.

On the fast-moving Milky Way, in the time when thousands of dollars are gone.

God, how lonely it is: I keep pushing and everything is quiet.

No one raised his fist against it.

What an honor it is: as soon as it comes out, it is taken back like a soldier.

All of vilen.

The river is in place, the constellation is in place, and everything is folded up at this moment.

The brand-new order in its heart is being rationally used.

It said nothing, even if it was seen by people in love.

What an incredible thing it is.

Compared with figurative painting, poetry is obviously more energetic and imaginative. "In the crater, at the entrance of the sea/on the rushing Milky Way, in the time when thousands of dollars are gone", a series of contrasting cosmic time and space only set off the climax of flowers-yes, when we mention the climax, this poem has a sexual meaning. On the metaphorical level, Yu Xiuhua's poems are further related to Georgian paintings. In the works of these two women, climax is the greatest moment when vitality blooms, which is glory and conquest.

If Georgian paintings always freeze the climax of flowers, then Yu Xiuhua's poems record the longer stretches after the climax. The explosion died down gradually. "The river is in place, the constellation is in place, and everything is put away at this moment"-this is a Zen moment, a new life is gestating, the natural order is running silently, women's bodies are closed again like flowers, and the inner universe is brewing new life in chaos.

Isn't a poet who comes back from a flower as embarrassed as Dao Jun? Finally, Yu Xiuhua wittily added: "It doesn't express anything, even if it is seen by people in love/what an incredible thing". Yes, flowers bloom normally, eat, drink and be merry. In this budding spring, like a flower, love is blooming.
