The Burning Wheel

"The Burning Wheel" by Aldous Huxley is a collection of poems that ponders the meaning life during a mix of hope and struggles. The poet reflects on what humans want, wondering about what's real, and trying to find what's good and pretty when life can be hard. The poems speak to exploring the self and the world around. Huxley presents ideas such how you feel inside versus what you see, and the push and pull of existence. Poems address emotions while contrasting the peace of nature with the battles people face. The collection captures love, sadness, and soul-searching for understanding, showing how our dreams can be challenged by reality. "The Burning Wheel" acts as a connection between personal thoughts to the world around us.
