Summer's Ending
by Andrew Lang
'Summer's Ending' Summary
The poems in 'Summer's Ending' are a tapestry of nature, memory, and the passing of time. Lang's words paint vivid pictures of the Scottish landscape as summer yields to autumn. He reflects on the cycle of life and death, the fleeting nature of beauty, and the bittersweet nostalgia of a season drawing to a close. The poems are infused with a deep reverence for folklore and myth, drawing upon ancient tales and legends to explore the timeless human experience of loss and renewal. Through evocative imagery and heartfelt reflections, Lang invites the reader to contemplate the changing seasons and the enduring power of nature's rhythms.Book Details
