She is seen as spring and sunshine he is the stiffness, their names are Daisy Miller and Frederic. Spring is childhood and youth, while summer is adulthood, romance, fulfillment, and passion. Autumn is the decline of age, the middle age, tiredness, and the harvest, while winter is the old age, resentment, death. A man could be born at the end of the American Civil War but dead on the eve of WWll. These seasons flew through many conflicts and unrest.
