Analysis of An Autumnal Simile
Victor Marie Hugo 1802 (Besançon) – 1885 (Paris)
The leaves that in the lonely walks were spread,
Starting from off the ground beneath the tread,
Coursed o'er the garden-plain;
Thus, sometimes, 'mid the soul's deep sorrowings,
Our soul a moment mounts on wounded wings,
Then, swiftly, falls again.
