Literary themes of autumn in poetry

Overview

Discussions regarding autumn-themed poetry focus on the season as a metaphor for transience and beauty. In Italian literature, the poet Trilussa used imagery of falling leaves in Rome to reflect on the fading nature of love and memory. Etymological roots of the word ‘autunno’ suggest a historical connection to abundance and enrichment.

Other literary analyses examine the opulent but fleeting qualities of the season, such as in Dezső Kosztolányi’s poem ‘Őszi reggeli’. These studies also address the complexities of translating such works, specifically the difficulties in preserving the original essence of Serbian poetry, like that of Ivo Andrić, when translating into other languages.
