On Transience

null
Book •
Freud's "On Transience" is a short essay exploring the human experience of confronting the ephemeral nature of beauty and existence.

It reflects on the poet's sadness in the face of transience and contrasts this with a more resilient perspective.

The essay touches upon themes of loss, acceptance, and the human capacity for renewal.

It's considered a lesser-known work compared to his major theoretical texts but offers insights into his thinking on mortality and emotional resilience.

The essay's brevity makes it a concise yet thought-provoking exploration of human experience.
