Paris;this April Sunset Completely Utters - meaning Summary

Sunset Personifies Paris

The poem depicts an April sunset in Paris that transforms the city into a theatrical scene. Natural elements—twilight, the new moon—are personified and introduce delicate color shifts, while streets and buildings respond as if animated. Amid this serene spectacle, human movement and urban life continue: people hurry, love, and a prostitute and the houses are set in a quietly tense relationship, suggesting beauty overlaid with everyday grit.

Paris;this April sunset completely utters utters serenely silently a cathedral before whose upward lean magnificent face the streets turn young with rain, spiral acres of bloated rose coiled within cobalt miles of sky yield to and heed the mauve of twilight(who slenderly descends, daintily carrying in her eyes the dangerous first stars) people move love hurry in a gently arriving gloom and see!(the new moon fills abruptly with sudden silver these torn pockets of lame and begging colour)while there and here the lithe indolent prostitute Night,argues with certain houses
