Bowser, and David Widger "Children of the Night" by Edwin Arlington Robinson is a collection of poems published in the late 19th century. This work presents a profound exploration of themes such as despair, human existence, and the search for meaning within a dark and often unforgiving world. Robinson, known for his poignant depictions of the human condition, utilizes various poetic forms and structures to convey feelings of melancholy and introspection throughout the collection. The poems within "Children of the Night" delve into the struggles of individuals grappling with their places in society and the weight of their own experiences. For example, the titular poem reflects on the sorrow of those who find themselves lost in darkness, while "Richard Cory" brings to light the tragic irony of a seemingly perfect man who ultimately succumbs to despair. Each poem invites readers to reflect on universal human emotions, capturing both fleeting joys and lasting sorrows that resonate with the reader's own life experiences.
