Literary Terms - Elegy

 

Elegy:

An elegy is a poetic form, which mourns the loss of a person or reflects on mortality.

Characterized by sorrowful and reflective tones, elegies explore themes of grief, longing, and remembrance.

Traditionally structured, they offer solace and catharsis to both the poet and reader.

Elegies often evoke vivid imagery and poignant emotions, encapsulating the essence of loss and the transient nature of life.

Through their lyrical expressions, elegies honor the departed and provide a space for contemplation and healing. "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" is a renowned poem by Thomas Gray.
