The Four Seasons have been an inspiration to artists and writers for thousands of years. With the seasons’ clear and simple cycle of birth, growth, maturity, and death as well as the beauty of each season—winter wonderlands, flowers blooming, lazy days at the beach, and hillsides of trees with streaks of red, orange, and yellow—it is easy to see why.
How It's Used
“The seasons alter; hoary-headed frosts
Far in the fresh lap of the crimson rose,
And on old Hiems' thin and icy crown
An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
Is as in mockery set. The spring, the summer,
The childing autumn, angry winter change
Their wonted liveries, and the mazèd world.”
—William Shakespeare, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Act II, Scene 1.
