Four Seasons
The four poems I've chosen represent the four seasons. They have been assigned a season that represents the feelings, images or ideas each poem conveys. They also represent different parts of men's lives: time, death, love and passion.
> "The Lamentation" represents Autumn because it refers to the passing of time, to transformations and decay.
> "Futility" represents Winter since it talks about death and the fragility of nature and life.
> "To an actress" is Spring because it talks about being reborn through love and the joy of being in love.
> "I like my body when it is with your" is Summer because it portrays the heat of passion and desire
The first and the second poems can be grouped together as part of a process: aging and death while the third and the fourth can also be grouped representing love and desire.
