Spring, 1918
'Spring, 1918' Summary
Published in 1918 during the midst of World War I, "Spring, 1918" is a collection of poems that capture the conflicting emotions of the time. Teasdale weaves together themes of nature's beauty, the blossoming of springtime, and the stark reality of war. She poignantly depicts the pain of loss, the longing for love, and the fragile hope for a future free from conflict. The poems explore the ways in which war alters perceptions of life and love, forcing individuals to confront their mortality and the fleeting nature of beauty. Teasdale's words, both intimate and poignant, offer a powerful testament to the human spirit's resilience in the face of immense suffering.Book Details
