A lark fell into the hunting net, but sang sweeter.
In the preface of the author of "Temple and Spring and Autumn", the author said that this is a work that constructs the theme of church. After reading the entire work, I had to admire the lines of Metropolis: "This magnificent story seems to touch all human emotions - love and hate, loyalty and betrayal, hope and despair."
Huge background elements make the characters and characters of the novel itself and the complex task relationships more vivid. For reference, European social upheaval after the first crusades in medieval England, which did not belong to the people, continued, during which Christianity was able to compete with the construction of the aristocratic class. At that time, powerful forces, European religions and superiors had greatly suppressed the spiritual and material life of ordinary people. Against this background, a group of commoners, construction workers and priests jointly built a church.
The thing that shocked me the most was Alan, who had golden eyes and could see through the hearts of others, and Tom, an architect who loved architecture, Agris, strong and gentle, who died without warning in such a harsh environment : cold, hungry, not even a person. People can help her give birth. I don't know what attracted me. Maybe it was the great joy and sadness that impressed me. I went back and read EgLIS from birth to death. She chatted with Tom before she died. She said she never objected to him building a cathedral, speaking of the wonderful moment they met and fell in love. There is also Tom's irrational sentence "build me a cathedral". Maybe then she realized that death was just because of the helplessness of reality, and she loved her husband and children and could not bear to make them fight meaningless, Can't bear to let them see their departure. While a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets, a thousand EgLIs are great mothers and lovers. It is love that makes ordinary people radiate greatness.
As for his ideals and beliefs, Tom is a small man, but we can see that he is different from other ordinary architects: his dedication and love for building churches, his ideal is to build a beautiful building under his chair cathedral. Although he was driven by the reality that even his own construction tools could not be saved, in Tom's heart, he never gave up the idea of building a cathedral for a moment. We can also see the power of faith in Philip, abbot of the King's Abbey. Philip believed in God and stood by his choices throughout his life. He hated William's cruelty and bravery. When Tom's family was killed, he was eager to help him. When Alena is desperate, he lends a helping hand. When Reujimis confessed, he gave him a chance. Another detail is that every time there is a setback, all the people in the town can cheer up and regain hope in life. This is the power of faith.
Beyond that, there's beautiful love: Alan's love for Tom and the pain of his lover, which I can't forget after Tom's death. Elena bravely gave birth to little Tommy, followed in Jack's wandering footsteps to find his lover, villain William and Warren's character shaping: William is cruel, but not cruel. God-fearing power, God-fearing curse. Thin and white, cold and dark, Warren wanted a cathedral but didn't have the right way to build it. As for Jack, he is fascinated by architecture, bravely pursues love, and knows how to break the thinking of ordinary people. He has excellent ideas. He has the same height of thought as the count's daughter Alena. Alena is also a brave, upright woman. In order to survive and take care of her younger brother, she was forced to commit suicide. All these make me strong. Shockingly, the material that rocked me was just the reader's approachable narrative tone.
They are like the lark in the prelude. In the end, they all found their place. Everyone is different. Everyone gives us all kinds of inspiration and encouragement. Real life is not flat. However, a positive attitude towards life is the right solution. Do what you love and know the world is changing for you. "
Everyone's life is different. If you want to forget what you like, it's like taking part in a ritual. Listen again, "A lark falls into a hunting net and sings its goodness sweetly, like that sad melody, and it flies over the net."
