#14- Spring

Throughout the poem entitled Spring, the poet incorporates allusions to Christ and the Garden of Eden. This is very meaningful to the poem because we think of Spring as a time of new life, Easter, and joy. The Garden of Eden is alluded to to show how sin impacts our lives, but we can overcome that and enjoy life. Christ is alluded to because Easter happens in Spring. In the Catholic church, we believe Jesus rose and ascended into Heaven. This shows how our lives were renewed and can live in happiness. This poem is all about the innocense we have until it is clouded over with sin and negative aspects. The allusions do a good job of describing this idea; With the help of these allusions, the audience can tell the greatness of Spring and what it has to offer. I really liked this poem because it had a cheerful meaning to Spring and was light-hearted.
