If Winter Comes Spring Is Not Far Behind
Birds get frozen, flowers get withered, from a pebble of earth to the star of sky all get silenced. It is the time when winter jumps in. Torments, tensions, tragedies, tortures come up when west wind of winter blows. Winter is the time of sweet sorrowfulness and dangerous difficulties. However, when spring comes it brings gala days; birds fly up, and flowers get bloomed. Oh! Spring, you are a hope in calamities of life. Winter is the symbol of destruction and bareness whereas spring is the symbol of hope and fruitfulness.

Around 250 thousand years ago a winter in Rome went on, in which slaves were smashed and slaughtered. Cruelity and ignorance was at peaks. At that time, a man of might and words stood like an insurmountable mountain and fought against Roman Republic for slaves. That man was Spartacus. He had almost perished the Government, but he was chopped in Third Servile War. But when he was martyred he said these words. "I will come again, not alone, but with millions." And, yes, he came again with spring in Rome and, which perished the winter of that time.

The winter of crises, problems, destruction has charged our country Pakistan. It has brought many critical and havoc circumstances which have taken lives of thousands. But hopeful spring is far behind and clouds of happiness are forecast which will bring pleasures and prosperity in Pakistan. Moulana Jalal Din Rumi says, "Don't grieve, whatever you lose comes in another form." So, one should push the winter out, and make outlets for spring to come in. And, coming spring will be joyous and peaceful. If winter has come, yes, spring is far behind.

Winter snatches green leaves of trees, smashes colours of butterflies, slaughter blooming flowers. But, when everything is lost there hope dwells and that is the spring, which has to come anyhow after winter and that is the cycle of life.

    For about as long as anyone’s been writing anything, the seasons have stood for the same set of meanings. Maybe it's hard-wired into us that spring has to do with childhood and youth, summer with adulthood and romance and fulfillment and passion, autumn with decline and middle age and tiredness but also harvest, winter with old age and resentment and death.

    Kim Addonizio's Onset

    • 976 Words

    Spring; a time where rebirth of our earth takes place all around the world. It is a time where replication of flowers begin to blossom and trees begin to start their journey of growing up all over again. It is when the Sun lays back and watches our earth transform into a new season of life, where the sounds of bee's buzzing and children playing in the newly grown grass shows the purity of this magnificent season. Although spring is a repeated time of the year we still breathe the fresh air with a smile on our face, but to Kim Addonizio, the author and narrator of the poem "Onset" springtime seems to be of terror in her eyes. "Onset" is a poem that refers to the replications of spring which slowly lead into the identical features of everyday…

    Of these core concepts, the one most acutely conveyed by any literary device would be the natural quality of love. Cummings lustrously and repeatedly depicts this view through his use of structure, incorporating seasons, weather, astronomical patterns, and feelings associated with particular times of the year. The seasons go through clear changes, and are mentioned along with their astronomical counterparts in nearly every stanza. The poem opens in the season of “spring”(3), and ends with “rain”(36)—a weather pattern synonymous with spring—illustrating a full cycle of the year. Throughout the poem, Cummings uses these natural yearly separations to convey specific ideas that pertain to each segment of “anyone’s” life. During spring, anyone danced and sang, as compared to the dull reaping and sowing of the average townsperson(4-7). In winter, words and phrases like: “died”(25), “buried”(27), “was by was”(28), and “deep by deep”(29) suggest death; the latter two phrases particularly indicate finality or inexorability. Love and happiness correspond to autumn, in which there are mentions of laughter, marriage, and hope. This cyclical…

    His father died when he was only eleven years old, his mother died soon after when Frost was twenty-six years old. Four out of six of Frost’s children had died before he died. Because of Frost’s history with death, his poems usually have a theme of the inevitability of death. Furthermore, in what ways does Robert Frost use nature imagery to underline key ideas? In his poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay," Frost skillfully utilizes the natural cycles of the seasons as symbolic representations of various stages in human life.…

    The Poem ‘Winter Swans’ seems to convey a strong theme of natural love. The poem begins with setting a scene of a peaceful day, where nature seems to be stilled after the torrential weather that is referred to in the first line through ‘The clouds had given their all.’ It goes on to say that there was then a ‘break’, and throughout the poem the poet uses words such as ‘silent’ and ‘rolling’, ‘stilling’ and ‘slow-stepping’ to capture this scene of peace and serenity, as if the world was resting after being thrashed about by a storm.…

    “It was not the governing class alone that would react in horror to the prospect of a slave insurrection. Whatever the grievances of men disenfranchised and dispossessed by Sulla, they would have found unthinkable any common enterprise with Thracian or Gallic slaves. It causes no surprise that Marxist historians and writers have idealized Spartacus as a champion of the masses and leader of the one genuine social revolution in Roman history. That, however, is excessive. Spartacus and his companions sought to break the bonds of their own grievous oppression. There is no sign that they were motivated by ideological considerations to overturn the social structure. The sources make clear that Spartacus endeavored to bring his forces out of Italy toward freedom rather than to reform or reverse Roman society. The achievements of Spartacus are no less formidable for that. The courage, tenacity, and ability…

    Throughout this piece Frost uses the aid of metaphors to convey his message, and these metaphors were comparisons with nature. “Nature’s first green is gold”, now when the thought of nature’s first green comes to mind, it can only be assumed that Frost is talking about spring (1.1). During the winter everything is colorless and dead, so when spring arrives everything blooms and fills with life; everything is beautiful. “Green is the first mark of spring, the assurance of life; yet in fact the first flush of vegetation for the New England birch and the willow is not green but the haze of delicate gold.” (Ferguson). Spring is a time of happiness, love, and joy; truly making it the “golden” time of the year because of the joyous feeling that it gives off. After making this statement Frost adds in the line, “Her hardest hue to hold.”, which contrasts the first line of the poem (1.2). Yes, spring is a glorious time of the year, but it is only one part of the year. Spring fades to summer, summer fades to fall and so on. This is when the point is established that nothing can stand the test of time. “Her early leaf’s a flower;/But only so an hour.”, this further supports Frost’s message by his use of nature as a metaphor; comparing life and all…

    “What a slave of about 200 A.D. had to do in order to save himself from constant cuffs and stripes is here set forth somewhat humorously, but with a serious undercurrent of grim truth.” 6 “There was no high motive for a slave to behave himself, simply a fear of cruel punishment if he did not”6 “There might be a hope of ultimate freedom, but that depended entirely on the caprice of the master.”6 During that time there was no true hope that slavery would end or that these slaves would ever receive any type of civil rights under the Roman Empire. It was there choice to choose their own destiny and the only way to grant freedom was escape. For instance Spartacus fighting had led him to his death but he was very successful many times throughout their journey. “Grown confident in their numbers, and puffed up with their success, would give no obedience to him, but went about and ravaged Italy; so that now the senate was not only moved at the indignity and baseness , both of the enemy and of the insurrection, but, looking upon it as a matter of alarm and of dangerous consequences sent out both consoles to it, as to a great and difficult enterprise.”7 Spartacus played an important role to the slaves, they looked up to him as a leader and as a leader that gave them hope. He was smart with tragedies and created a difference in the end for the Roman Empire.Escaping seemed to be better for Spartacus and his troops then to be treated like anything less than human. His courage is what made others look up to him as a hero and a true freedom…
