The Seasons Quotes and Quotations
 April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with Spring rain.  Autumn wins you best by this: its mute Appeal to sympathy for its decay. Honest Winter, snow-clad, and with the frosted beard, I can welcome not uncordially; But that long deferment of the calendar's promise, that weeping gloom of March and April, that bitter blast outraging the honour of May how often has it robbed me of heart and hope? No one thinks of Winter when the grass is green. No Winter lasts forever, no Spring skips its turn. April is a promise that May is bound to keep, and we know it. The nicest thing about the promise of spring is that sooner or later she'll have to keep it. Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York. Every April, God rewrites the Book of Genesis. The changing year's progressive plan Proclaims mortality to man. - Horace Summer is the mother of the poor. Take a winter as you find him and he turns out to be a thoroughly honest fellow with no nonsense in him: and tolerating none in you, which is a great comfort in the long run. Summer ends, and Autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise would have high tide always and a full moon every night. June's too soon, July's too late - for summer. April, Comes like an idiot, babbling, and strewing flowers. Autumn arrives in the early morning, but spring at the close of a winter's day. Autumn is the bite of a harvest apple. May is a pious fraud of the almanac A ghastly parody of real Spring Shaped out of snow and breathed with eastern wind. The first day of spring was once the time for taking the young virgins into the fields, there in dalliance to set an example in fertility for Nature to follow. Now we just set the clock an hour ahead and change the oil in the crankcase.
