EVENINGS by ARTHUR RIMBAUD

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: IT IS REST FULL OF LIGHT, NEITHER FEVER NOR LANGUOR, ON THE BED OR ON THE ROAD
Last Line: -AND THE DREAM BREAKS AFRESH.
Subject(s): EVENING; SUNSET; TWILIGHT;
It is rest full of light, neither fever nor languor, on the bed or on the road.

It is the friend, neither ardent nor timid. The friend.

It is the loved one, the fond, neither tormenting nor tormented. The loved one.

The air and the world all unexplored. Life.

-Was it then this?

-And the dream breaks afresh.
