Images of the sea in the epic works of thu bon, thanh thao and huu thinh
Nguyen A Say
Epic poetry is a special category. It was created in a particular period of history, embracing in it the history of its time and carries on the epic narration. The sea in epic poetry is as well described from different angles. The poets Thu Bon, Thanh Thao, Huu Thinh wrote about the sea with their love for the country and its people, but as they go far into the sea they also feel the deep meaning hidden within. It is full of arduous marine life, painstaking. It also is a long journey full of philosophy about the human life, as well as full of thoughts, concerns, and personal feelings about today’s life.
