| Summary | "Le roman de la rose - Tome IV" by de Lorris Guillaume and de Meun Jean is a medieval allegorical poem written in the late 13th to early 14th century. This work is a continuation of a larger narrative that explores themes of love, nature, and human existence through personified characters such as Nature and Genius, as well as various social and philosophical ideas. The poem delves into complex discussions about the human condition and the interplay between mortality, creativity, and the divine. At the start of this section, Nature is portrayed as a divine creator who laments the impermanence of her creations due to the inevitability of death. She reflects on her efforts to sustain life and laments her perceived failures, ultimately seeking counsel from Genius, who encourages her to find solace and stop mourning. The dialogue emphasizes the theme of the fragility of life against the backdrop of Nature's influence on humanity's fate. This opening establishes a contemplative tone, diving into existential musings that set the stage for deeper philosophical inquiries throughout the work.
