Rivers to the Sea
'Rivers to the Sea' Summary
Rivers to the Sea, published in 1915, is Sara Teasdale's third poetry collection. The book delves into themes of love, loss, and the passage of time, often using nature as a metaphor for the human experience. Teasdale's poetry is known for its emotional depth, expressing both the joys and sorrows of life with a delicate sensitivity. Several poems, like "I Shall Not Care," reveal a somber undercurrent of melancholy, hinting at the darkness that would ultimately consume Teasdale. Her poems often explore the fleeting nature of love, the inevitable cycle of life and death, and the bittersweet beauty of the natural world. Rivers to the Sea captures the essence of Teasdale's poetic voice, her profound understanding of human emotions, and her ability to weave together themes of love, loss, and the relentless march of time.Book Details
