Percy Bysshe Shelley quotes on seasons

19. The day becomes more solemn and serene When noon is past; there is a harmony In autumn, and a lustre in its sky, Which through the summer is not heard or seen, As if it could not be, as if it had not been!

91. Thou dirge Of the dying year, to which this closing night Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre, Vaulted with all thy congregated might.

95. The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind, If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
