lilac season fast approaches... #TSEliot #TheWasteLand #Poetry #ModernistPoetry #LiteraryQuote #AprilQuote #ClassicLiterature

The image shows a quote from T.S. Eliot's poem "The Waste Land" displayed in a minimalist black text on white background format. The quote reads: "April is the cruellest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain." The author's name "T. S. Eliot" appears beneath the quote.

A favorite poem for this month... www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44728/... #EdnaStVincentMillay #Poetry #Spring

An image of the poem "Spring" by Edna St. Vincent Millay. The poem begins with the question "To what purpose, April, do you return again?" and reflects on how spring's beauty cannot quiet existential questions. The poem contrasts the renewal of spring with darker meditations on mortality, ending with the line "April comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers."

Spring

By Edna St. Vincent Millay
To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.
The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
The spikes of the crocus.
The smell of the earth is good.
It is apparent that there is no death.
But what does that signify?
Not only under ground are the brains of men
Eaten by maggots.
Life in itself
Is nothing,
An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs.
It is not enough that yearly, down this hill,
April
Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.

The image shows a rectangular glass container filled with an enfleurage preparation. Delicate white jasmine flowers with their characteristic star-shaped five-petal formation are floating on a pale yellow fat base. This represents the traditional perfumery technique of enfleurage, where flowers are placed on fat to extract their fragrant compounds. The container is set on a white and gray marble surface, providing an elegant contrast to the yellow base and white blooms. The jasmine flowers are carefully arranged to cover most of the surface area, maximizing fragrance extraction. This process would typically be used to capture the delicate scent of jasmine for perfume making.
