In his later poetry, he expressed his love for his country, hatred for invaders, and fervent longing for a better future, with a poetic style that became robust and profound, and language that was refined and pure. His prose is fresh, enduring, and profound, equally imbued with a strong poetic flavor, allowing readers to feel as if bathed in spring breeze and also to savor the meaning of life amidst subtle sorrow.
