Summary "English Poems, Volume 02 (of 2)" by Fernando Pessoa is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. This volume contains various works, including "Epithalamium," which explores themes of love, intimacy, and the transition into marriage. It reflects on the emotional landscape surrounding such significant life events, delving into the complexities of joy and fear experienced by a bride on her wedding day. The poem "Epithalamium" serves as a vivid portrayal of a bride's feelings on her wedding day, capturing the anticipation and anxiety of her impending union. As the poem unfolds, readers witness the bride's waking moments filled with both joy and trepidation, moving from her private quarters into the public sphere where she is celebrated. Through rich imagery and sensory details, Pessoa evokes the bride's inner turmoil, the electrifying atmosphere surrounding the wedding, and the collective joy of the guests. The poem encapsulates the interplay between desire and dread, ultimately celebrating the union of two souls through the intimate act of marriage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
