"Les Silhouettes" by Oscar Wilde is a delicate and atmospheric poem that reflects on fleeting moments and ephemeral beauty. Wilde presents the silhouettes as ghostly, shadow-like figures, embodying the transience of time and experience. The poem is filled with a sense of melancholy as the silhouettes represent the fleeting nature of human life and memory. Through vivid imagery and elegant rhythm, Wilde captures the graceful, yet transient, movement of these figures, likening them to fleeting impressions or dreams. "Les Silhouettes" encapsulates Wilde's characteristic themes of beauty, mortality, and the evanescent quality of existence.
The sea is flecked with bars of grey,
The dull dead wind is out of tune,
And like a withered leaf the moon
Is blown across the stormy bay.
Etched clear upon the pallid sand
Lies the black boat: a sailor boy
Clambers aboard in careless joy
With laughing face and gleaming hand.
And overhead the curlews cry,
Where through the dusky upland grass
The young brown-throated reapers pass,
Like silhouettes against the sky.
Poem written by Oscar Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900).
