For poems from the Book of Songs: “In the Wilds is a Dead River-Deer”: The poem contrasts the dead deer to the lady’s desire. What is the point? How does time, the sense of human urgency versus the natural rhythm of nature, play into this theme?
What will be an ideal response?
The poem contrasts the dead deer with the lady’s desire to highlight the duality and completeness of life as symbolized in the yin (cool and dark) and yang (hot and bright). In relation to time, the white rushes symbolize the natural rhythms through which they slowly envelop the deer. This is contrasted with the urgency of her lover, who hastily tries to undress the lady.
