Millay loves all seasons in nature but is happiest in the autumn when leaves fall and the birds are flying away. Millay finds beauty in the autumn world but resents the rebirth of spring because she sees death and sorrow everywhere. Millay is a pessimist who dislikes beauty anywhere she sees it because it implies that all is right with the world. Millay is a religious poet who sees the divine in nature and reflected in the rebirth of plants in the spring.
