The Hills of Georgia
The Hills of Georgia - meaning Summary
Longing from Exile
The poem places a speaker in the Georgian hills at night, where landscape and mood fuse into a gentle paradox: sorrow that is at once light and bright. The speaker’s melancholy revolves entirely around a single beloved, whose presence gives purpose and whose absence renders life void. The tone is intimate and resigned, turning physical distance into an inward, persistent longing that both wounds and sustains the heart.
Read Complete AnalysesThe hills of Georgia are covered by the night; Ahead Aragva runs through stone, My feeling's sad and light; my sorrow is bright; My sorrow is full of you alone, Of you, of only you... My everlasting gloom Meets neither troubles nor resistance. Again inflames and loves my poor heart, for whom Without love, 'tis no existence. Translated by Yevgeny Bonver
