The Elders Speak

On The Seasons

dividerr

To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven...
Ecclesiastes, 3:1-2

There is no season such delight can bring
As summer, autumn, winter and the spring.
William Browne

The seasons, like greater tides, ebb and flow across the continents.
Edwin Way Teale, North With The Spring

The seasons drift on by like clouds across the skies...
Hank Snow, The Seasons

Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.
Stanley Horowitz

Spring comes with flowers, autumn with the moon, summer with the breeze, winter with snow. When idle concerns don't fill your thoughts, that's your best season.
Wu-Men

Everything has its season, but no season is without color and life, wonder and surprise. He who would know the world of which he is part must know the way the January wind shapes a snowdrift as well as the ecstacy with which an oriole greets the June dawn.
Hal Borland, Beyond Your Doorstep

The seasons have their fragrance. In summer there is a smell of greenness, of heat, and grass and surface dust; in autumn the fragrance is one of cold dew and ripeness, of fallen leaves and the tang and ferment of leaves, of a world smouldering and withering away in the year's invisible fires.
Henry Beston, Northern Farm

Of the four seasons, spring entices, summer makes you welcome, autumn gives you a lingering farewell, but winter remains aloof.
Edwin Way Teale, Wandering Through Winter

Taken literally, solstice means that the sun stands still. But that's an illusion. There is no standing still in any season. The earth turns, and the year turns, and sunrise changes and suset alters, day by day....Change is the only constant.
Hal Borland, Sundial of the Seasons

Winter is cold-hearted.
Spring is yea and nay,
Autumn is a weather-cock,
Blown every way.
Summer days for me.
When every leaf is on its tree.
Christina Rossetti

Spring and Summer, spent
For others, while Fall days lead
to my Winter time.
Anon.

I love the seasons so well that I am glad nature is fond of repeating them.
David Conover, One Man's Island

There is a midsummer. There is a midwinter. But there is no midspring or midautumn. These are the seasons of constant change. Like dawn and dusk, they are periods of transition. But like night and day and day and night they merge slowly, gradually....Only on calendars and in almanacs are the lines of division sharply defined.
Edwin Way Teale, Autumn Across America

Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence
Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance
Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence
Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.
Yoko Ono, Season of Glass

Spring comes with flowers, autumn with the moon,
summer with the breeze, winter with snow.
When idle concerns don't fill your thoughts,
that's your best season.
