“For winter’s rains and ruins are over, And all the season of snows and sins;The days dividing lover and lover,The light that loses, the night that wins;And time remembered is grief forgotten.And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,And in green underwood and coverBlossom by blossom the spring begins.”Algernon Charles Swinburne, 1837-1909.
