Outline: Analyzing the verse structure in the poem 'Autumn is Coming: More than a delicate flower... fragile thin bones'
1. Introduction
- Autumn is a common theme in poetic and musical works.
- Xuân Diệu, a poet of love, sometimes explores autumn to create the poem 'Here comes autumn' with a completely new, melancholic feeling, distinct from the vibrant and intense tone in 'Haste and Passion.'
2. Body of the poem
- The line 'More than one flower has fallen from the branch' illustrates the transition of autumn as many flowers gradually wither and fall.
- 'In the garden, red overwhelms the green,' signifies the invasion of red hues upon the green backdrop of leaves, a gradual, silent, and subtle transformation.
- 'The trembling strands sway with the wind...,' as each autumn breeze gently passes, bringing a chilling coldness, causing the leaves to seem almost 'trembling,' then parting from the branches.
- 'Thin, dry branches, fragile bones.' The autumn figure is frail, subdued, and solitary in the adjectives 'dry,' 'thin,' reflecting the sense of scarcity, emptiness in the soul of autumn, the soul of humanity.
