Afternoon
A whisper that lingers: poetry that lingers in the mind as it once sparked a movement. Afternoon gathers the mood of fin de siècle europe, a belgian poetry collection that moves between the hush of nature and the pulse of the city. Emile Verhaeren's work is presented here as more than verse; it is a sensuous rapture and a precise observation, a symbolist poetry that family-friends the natural world with urban atmosphere, light with shadow. The collection invites both casual readers and serious scholars to hear the echoes of the belgian symbolist movement and the influence of Rimbaud, while offering fresh resonance for today's pages. Its accessible music rewards repeated reading, and its layered textures reward academic readers and school classroom use alike. This edition is a key moment in publishing. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure that speaks to poetry enthusiasts and collectors who prize historical texture as well as enduring polish. Whether you seek a tactile link to fin de siècle europe, a study in melancholy mood and lyrical light, or a captivating gateway into belgian poetry and symbolism, Afternoon invites you to linger, reflect, and return.
