| Summary | "Poèmes" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of poetry first published in the late 19th century. This work showcases Wilde's lyrical explorations of beauty, art, and the complexities of human emotion. The thematic content reflects Wilde's aestheticism and his often poignant reflections on life, love, and loss, demonstrating his unique style that vacillates between the profound and the whimsical. The opening of "Poèmes" presents a rich tapestry of Wilde's experiences and influences, particularly highlighting his admiration for classical antiquity and the poetic legacy of artists like John Keats. It includes reflections on the tensions between modernity and the timeless beauty of the past, alongside passionate musings on love and longing. The poetic voice touches on personal and universal themes, inviting readers into a world brimming with emotion, artistic yearning, and the quest for transcendent beauty, characterized by vivid imagery and compelling language.
