A Symphony in Yellow

In A Symphony in Yellow the author paints a picture of a yellow, possibly fall, landscape. Wilde walks us through several scenes that involve yellow objects in them. To me, yellow is a color that represents welcoming, happiness, and sunshine, all positive symbols. This poem reminded me of a troops returning poem because of the yellow ribbon that is associated with troops returning from battle. I thought that it was rather interesting that it went from yellow, to green, because green is a color that is used in camouflage of troops. The Thames is a river in London so I thought that it could be possible that he is leaving in a boat to go to war.
