An Autumnal Simile
Read 'An Autumnal Simile' by 'Victor Hugo' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
("Les feuilles qui gisaient.")
The leaves that in the lonely walks were spread,
Starting from off the ground beneath the tread,
Coursed o'er the garden-plain;
Thus, sometimes, 'mid the soul's deep sorrowings,
Our soul a moment mounts on wounded wings,
Then, swiftly, falls again.
