Four Fanciful Seasons (April Special)










Giuseppe Arcimboldo - Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring, 1573

The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts
Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose,
And on old Hiems' thin and icy crown
An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
Is, as in mockery, set. The spring, the summer,
The childing autumn, angry winter, change
Their wonted liveries, and the mazed world,
By their increase, now knows not which is which.

Shakespeare - A Midsummer Night's Dream
