Poésies Complètes - Tome 2 by Théophile Gautier
"Poésies Complètes - Tome 2" by Théophile Gautier is a collection of poetry written in the late 19th century. This volume explores themes of love, beauty, mortality, and the human condition through evocative language and imagery. The poems reflect the author's romantic sensibilities and delve into the complexities of life and death, often drawing on nature and philosophical reflections. The opening of the volume introduces a poignant exploration of death through richimagery and metaphors. It begins with a metaphorical structure likening the creation of poetry to the construction of tombs, suggesting that each poem serves as a monument to the buried emotions and ideas within the poet's soul. Specifically, it describes the scene in a cemetery where people mourn and honor their deceased loved ones, contrasting this with the poet's meditation on forgotten graves and the longing for remembrance. As the poet wanders through the graveyard, a sense of profound sadness and contemplation emerges, questioning the nature of existence and the silence of the departed, setting a hauntingly reflective tone for the poems that follow.
