Literature:
Song of Autumn
Analysis:
Charles Baudelaire revolves around his major work; Les Fleurs du Mal
(Translates to ‘The Flower of evil’),which include various poems including
Autumn. Autumn by Charles Baudelaire is a ballad revolving around the concept
of seasons symbolising life and death. Through the use of various techniques including
the use of metaphors and similes we are able to make a comparison and understand the
moral of the poem in our current time
The seasons in "Autumn Song" represent the current physical and mental state of
the poet. The warmth of summer is represented as happiness and joy for the poet. While
winter signals cold and dark times. "The whole of winter enters in my Being- - pain"
states the pain of winter. Winter being a chilly and gloomy season, we are able to safetly
make a comparison with the poet and the season. Autumn however is only mentions to
describe the sensation of being in-between summer and winter. "They nail for one a
coffin lid, or sound a knell-- For whom? Autumn now-- and summer yesterday!" proves
that 'Autumn' represents the anxiety within the poet.
With the strong use of metaphors and similes that use a comparisson of Mother
Nature, we are able to understand and firmly understand the poem
