English Afternoon Produced by Marc D'Hooghe (Images generously made available by the Internet Archive.) "Afternoon" by Émile Verhaeren is a lyrical collection of poetry likely written in the early 20th century. The work reflects on love, nature, and the passage of time, exploring the emotional depth and significance of moments shared between lovers in their garden sanctuary. The poems engage with themes of beauty, the ephemerality of life, and the profound connection between the speaker and their beloved. The collection invites readers into a world suffused with sensory experiences, weaving vivid imagery of flowers, sunlight, and the changing seasons to illustrate the intimacy and complexity of love. Throughout the verses, the speaker expresses both joy and melancholy, contemplating the effects of time on beauty and connection but ultimately affirming the enduring nature of their love despite the inevitable passage of years. The richness of description and the emotional resonance within the poems offer a heartfelt reflection on the sacredness of shared moments and the healthful rejuvenation found in love amidst life's challenges.
