The Human Seasons Four Seasons fill the measure of the year; There are four seasons in the mind of man: He has his lusty Spring, when fancy clear Takes in all beauty with an easy span: He has his Summer, when luxuriously Spring's honied cud of youthful thought he loves To ruminate, and by such dreaming high Is nearest unto heaven: quiet coves His soul has in its Autumn, when his wings He furleth close; contented so to look On mists in idleness--to let fair things Pass by unheeded as a threshold brook. He has his Winter too of pale misfeature, Or else he would forego his mortal nature.

Evergreen of Life
Prickling bristles of life pierce the air with every wave of a branch. Flowing hairs of life flutter through the air with every wave of an arm. The rough bark of life carries on throughout the four seasons. The smooth skin of life carries on throughout the four seasons. The sapwood of life carries water throughout the body. The veins of life carry blood throughout the body. With our differences aside, the world is a world of life, and we will live together in harmony.
