Winter mocked Spring and reproached him: “As soon as you appear, no one keeps still any longer. One man goes off to the meadows and groves, eager to gather flowers and lilies, or perhaps a rose, to feast his eyes on them and tuck them into his hair. Another boards a ship and crosses the sea, perhaps to visit people in distant lands. No one gives another thought to winds or heavy rains. But I am like a ruler and an absolute master: I command people to look not up at the sky but down at the ground, to fear and tremble; and sometimes I make them glad to spend the whole day indoors.” “And that is precisely why,” Spring replied, “people would be delighted to be rid of you. My very name, on the other hand, seems lovely to them—indeed, by Zeus, the loveliest of names! So they remember me even when I am absent, and rejoice when I appear.”
