The Weary Blues and Lenox Avenue: Midnight

Langston Hughes's "Weary Blues" and "Lenox Avenue: Midnight" are two poems useful as urban life scenes. These poems were written over 70 years ago, but it is surprising that they share similarities with contemporary city life. In word play and meaningless lines ("Gods are laughing at us" etc.), the basic theme is obviously urban life. "Tired Bruce" and "Lenox Avenue: Midnight" also explored the general topic of urban life in two different ways.

"Tired blues" was written in free poetry, but not all lines of Weary Blues lyrics rhyming rhymes. "The rhyme of night and light is like tone, key, melody, feces, and other couplets, rhyming is not perfect, but when you read aloud, when planning to rhyme plans eyes It is also worth noting that the poem that the singer stops playing and sleeps / and the tired blues echoes in his head / sleeps like stones and deads ends with three rhymes. That line is a finite conclusion. The rest of the poem is built and built to the end

There are two important characters in "The Weary Blues". The speaker and the piano are blues singers. This poem is a memory of the performance which I have heard recently in Harlem. (Lennox Avenue was one of the main streets of Harlem's nightlife in the 1920s, after renamed as Malcolm X Avenue, the famous scene of Hughes became a historical footnote.) Speaker It is unspecified Although the tribe of Bruce, the singer of the blues has been repeatedly identified as black people. The singer and his song eventually became a symbol of the sadness of contemporary African Americans. ("Sweet Blues! / From the Soul of the Black Man! / O Blues!") The expression of blues is not only catharsis for singers, it seems almost to have disappeared. After singing all night, he slept at home sleeping - like stone and dead

"Weary Blues" is one of the "Blues" verses of Langston Hughes. It appeared in the collection of poems of the same name published in 1926 - shortly thereafter, Hughes moved to Harlem and soaked in the prosperous art and culture scene. Before the collection "The Weary Blues" won the famous literary contest sponsored by Urban League magazine published by Urban League. It is said that Hughes wrote "The Weary Blues" after visiting Cabaret performances at Harlem.
