Patoral Elegy |
generally opening with an invocation that is followed by a statement of the poet’s grief and a subsequent description of a procession of mourners. The pastoral elegy also usually involves a discussion of fate, or some similarly philosophical topic. There are phases or movements of thought like the different patterns of emotions, shock, crying, complaining, memory, gloom, contemplation, and consolation. But more typically, the pastoral conventions include mourning by the nature and the shepherds, funeral procession, laying flowers on the dead, interruption by a divine figure or a voice which tells some truth or console the mourners. |
