The Hills
The Hills - meaning Summary
Twilight as Passionate Offering
The poem imagines evening as a theatrical shift: daytime’s loud, golden clamor gives way to a purple, poetic twilight that "exhales a red soul into the dark." The speaker then addresses a "duneyed master," inviting this figure into the heart to take a perfect rose. The final phrase, "with killing hands," complicates the offering, suggesting surrender to love’s beauty that also risks harm or destruction.
