Autumn
Autumn - meaning Summary
Autumn as Sacred Presence
Yesenin’s short lyric presents autumn as a living, sacred presence moving through a rural valley. Seasonal change is rendered through quiet, tactile images: a mare rubbing her mane, horseshoes sounding on riverbanks, a wind likened to a cautious monk. The poem links falling leaves and the red berries of mountain ash to gentle, religioused wounds, giving the landscape a solemn, intimate mood that blends nature’s cycle with spiritual resonance.
Read Complete AnalysesSilence. In the junipers atop the valley, Autumn - a roam mare - rubs her mane for dressing. Well above the wooded river banks - That's the dark blue clang her horseshoes make. Wind, a monk, walks past with wary footsteps Holding back the foliage on the pathways, Kissing, when he comes upon the mountain ash, Crimson wounds that are the marks of Christ unseen.
