More about the book

Exploring themes of beauty, desire, and self-sabotage, the poem reflects on the tension between the longing for procreation and the selfishness that stifles it. The speaker urges a beloved to share their beauty with the world rather than hoard it for themselves, suggesting that such isolation leads to a waste of potential and joy. The imagery of spring and the natural cycle highlights the importance of legacy and memory, while also lamenting the consequences of neglecting the world's need for beauty and connection.
