Impressions - La Fuite De La Lune - meaning Summary
Night Withdrawing Its Light
Wilde's short lyric sketches a twilight scene where stillness and shadow dominate. A solitary birdcall punctures the hush, answering across misty hills, and this small sound prepares a sudden withdrawal: the moon retreats into darkness, veiled and somber. The poem conveys a quiet, elegiac sense of transience and solitude, turning a peaceful landscape into a moment of subtle loss and atmospheric withdrawal.
Read Complete AnalysesTo outer senses there is peace, A dreamy peace on either hand, Deep silence in the shadowy land, Deep silence where the shadows cease. Save for a cry that echoes shrill From some lone bird disconsolate; A corncrake calling to its mate; The answer from the misty hill. And suddenly the moon withdraws Her sickle from the lightening skies, And to her sombre cavern flies, Wrapped in a veil of yellow gauze.
