Bob Dylan: Idle love

1963 February in new york, like an island forgotten by people, the streets of Marguerite Town were covered with slight snowflakes, which was the best time for two hearts to embrace each other.

Youth at the age of twenty is full of the sweetest and sweetest love in the world. That year, Suze Rotolo took Bob Dylan's arm, leaned on Bob Dylan's shoulder, talked about the couple's worries, smiled and floated his youthful face, and strolled out of the apartment where he lived together.

The empty streets seem endless. There is less noise of people coming and going, and more snowflakes are piled up. People closed the doors and windows, and snowflakes covered some worn-out cars with white clothes. The north wind sniffed the street quietly, and a little chill soaked in people's skin.

The cold wind and snow are like bad boys in winter, trying to freeze the bleak streets, but the bad boys are joking about love. Dylan, wearing a thin yellow jacket, looks handsome with his hands in blue jeans and his shoulders hunched, responding to Suze Rotolo's gentle words.

Suze Rotolo let her hair hang freely, and her smile melted into Dylan's heart like sunshine that melted ice and snow. She clutched Dylan's arm tightly. How can priceless treasures be spared? The young man's face is full of smiles.

This photo was taken by photographer Don Hansten as the cover photo of Bob Dylan's album "Bob Dylan's Free Will". This album and cover photo have become the imprint of an era, and it is one of the most famous album covers in the history of music.

"Free Bob Dylan" has poetic language, "I gave her my heart, but she took my soul", which is a light and smooth folk song that touches the hearts of young people. The cover photo of this album: Bob Dylan shrugged his shoulders and walked with his neck narrowed, becoming the object of imitation by young people at that time. They think it's cool.

The love between Bob Dylan and Suze Rotolo is simple and pure pity. The stream of love flows from Shan Ye to the plain without the help of others. However, if you encounter a desert, even the plain will never end. However, the source of the stream will never dry up.

The stream of consciousness of love inspired Bob Dylan, and the muse presented him with a touching love song:

Don't think about it, it doesn't matter. Spanish boots? "Tomorrow is Long" is an ode to their love, touching people's hearts.

Bob Dylan pursues the spirit of independence and freely expresses his feelings. He needs Suze Rotolo's help. So little Dylan asked Susie for eternal support, help and protection. However, for Susie, who is 19 years old, she also lacks these things, and she also needs these things.

"I don't want to be a string on the guitar. Just because I'm with Dylan doesn't mean I have to walk behind him and pick up the candy paper he threw on the ground. " This is Suze Rotolo's words, cruel and true.

One night, Bob Dylan and Suze Rotolo were walking in the street. The leaves on the street rustled in the cold wind, but they just kept silent. Suze Rotolo finally stopped and said, "We should be apart for a while". This sentence is like a bullet, breaking their defense line that has already been destroyed by love.

Dylan couldn't say a word, but subconsciously made a gesture of agreement. They expected this ending long ago, but when it really came, they were still at a loss. In fact, their love for each other did not die, but was defeated by helplessness.

Turn around, one forward and one backward. The two lines are in different directions and are no longer entangled. From strangeness to love, and finally to strangers, it seems that they have returned to the strange origin, but they have left traces in each other's hearts.

Many years later, Bob Dylan stopped holding Suze Rotolo's hand and walked through the streets of Margaret, but left a song about their times, which was treasured in the empty street in his heart.

Many years later, Suze Rotolo wrote a book called Time to Let Go. This book contains bits and pieces of their love, and the words are as sour as green apples. Like every hug in those days, I can remember it vividly. The cover of the book is that photo, but it is always gentle.

1963 In February, the streets and photos they walked together, like the warm sun in winter, warmed people's cold souls. The film Vanilla Sky starring Tom Cruise and Penélope Cruz Sánchez? reproduces this eternal picture. Whose heart is not touched whenever I see this movie?

Don't tie each other's hands and feet, let each other pursue laissez-faire freedom, this is the deepest love.
