Summary: "Poems & Ballads (Second Series)" by Algernon Charles Swinburne is a collection of lyrical poetry written in the late 19th century. This series showcases Swinburne’s mastery of form, rhythm, and rich imagery, delving into themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. The verses often reflect a deep engagement with classical mythology and a profound emotional resonance, capturing the complexities of human experience. The opening of the collection presents the poem "The Last Oracle," which evokes themes of divinity and mortality, expressing anguish over the fading presence of the ancient gods and the relentless passage of time. The subsequent transitions into poems like "In the Bay" and "A Forsaken Garden" deepen the exploration of nature and the human psyche's relationship with beauty and despair. Swinburne's vivid imagery and passionate expressions set a hauntingly reflective tone, as he grapples with the intersections of life, death, and art, inviting readers into a world both melancholic and reverent with nostalgia for lost ideals.
