How to use "Elegiac" in context?
Whenever we think of elegiac poems, images of sad-looking authors scribbling on parchment or selective images from old paintings come to mind. While the genre does have a bit of a melancholic feeling, the elegance of elegiac poetry lies in the way the author describes their experiences in beautiful and evocative language.
Often, elegiac poems are written by people who have lost loved ones, but they can also be written by anyone who has experienced a loss. The combination of beauty and sadness in these poems always leaves an impression.
