"Silhouettes" by Arthur Symons is a collection of lyrical poems written during the late 19th century. The work reflects Symons' fascination with themes of love, beauty, and the ephemeral nature of experiences, often exploring the interplay of light and shadow in human emotions and relationships. The collection is marked by its rich imagery and impressionistic style, emphasizing the delicate sensations associated with love and memory. In "Silhouettes," Symons offers a poignant exploration of romantic relationships through varied poetic forms. The poems transport readers to settings rich with emotion, from the intimacy of shared moments to the lingering memories of past loves. Each piece captures fleeting sensations, using vivid depictions of nature and city life to mirror internal feelings. With works such as "After Sunset" and "Emmy," the collection intertwines themes of longing, beauty, and nostalgia, inviting readers to reflect on the complexity of human connections and the transient beauty of life. Symons’ mastery of language and evocative symbolism transports readers into a world where love's disguises and life's moods are intricately woven together.
