Project Gutenberg 1998-03-01 Public domain in the USA. 183 Millay, Edna St. Vincent 1892 1950 Boyd, Nancy Boissevain, Edna St. Vincent Millay Second April Produced by Judy Boss, and David Widger "Second April" by Edna St. Vincent Millay is a collection of poems written during the early 20th century, specifically reflecting the themes of nature, love, life, and death. The poems explore complex emotions and philosophical musings, often intertwined with imagery of the seasons and personal reflection, signaling the transitional nature of human experiences. The collection opens with the poem "Spring," which establishes a tension between the beauty of nature and the poet's existential reflections, suggesting that spring's arrival is not enough to quell deeper uncertainties. In subsequent poems, such as "City Trees" and "The Blue-Flag in the Bog," Millay contrasts the natural world with urban life, encapsulating the longing for connection and belonging amid the chaos of existence. The poet pays homage to love and loss, grappling with feelings of melancholy and nostalgia, particularly in pieces like "Elegy Before Death" and "Mariposa." Ultimately, "Second April" invites readers on a poignant journey through Millay's emotional landscape, marked by vivid imagery and profound insight into the transient nature of beauty and life itself.
