Sun's Golden Arc - meaning Summary
Sunlight Renews the Self
Yesenin's "Sun's Golden Arc" depicts a speaker revived by the sun's warmth and light, which rekindles hope and dispels past lack. The physical heat becomes spiritual illumination: blood and soul alight, heart strengthened, and optimism for the future restored. The poem turns outward to a journey where love accompanies the speaker, banishing anguish and granting freedom of spirit even after the sun has set.
