Question

explain the features of the autumn season as described by the poet William Shakespeare ​

Answer 1

Sonnet 73

That time of year thou mayst in me behold

When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang

Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,

Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

In me thou seest the twilight of such day

As after sunset fadeth in the west,

Which by and by black night doth take away,

Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.

In me thou see’st the glowing of such fire

That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,

As the death-bed whereon it must expire

Consumed with that which it was nourish’d by.

This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,

To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

Summary: Sonnet 73

In this poem, the speaker invokes a series of metaphors to characterize the nature of what he perceives to be his old age. In the first quatrain, he tells the beloved that his age is like a “time of year,” late autumn, when the leaves have almost completely fallen from the trees, and the weather has grown cold, and the birds have left their branches. In the second quatrain, he then says that his age is like late twilight, “As after sunset fadeth in the west,” and the remaining light is slowly extinguished in the darkness, which the speaker likens to “Death’s second self.” In the third quatrain, the speaker compares himself to the glowing remnants of a fire, which lies “on the ashes of his youth”—that is, on the ashes of the logs that once enabled it to burn—and which will soon be consumed “by that which it was nourished by”—that is, it will be extinguished as it sinks into the ashes, which its own burning created. In the couplet, the speaker tells the young man that he must perceive these things, and that his love must be strengthened by the knowledge that he will soon be parted from the speaker when the speaker, like the fire, is extinguished by time.

Answer 2

The Features of Autumn Season as described by William Shakespeare are as follows :

Explanation:

The speaker calls in this poem (Sonnet 73) a series of metaphors about the season of Autumn to distinguish the nature of what he sees as his age.

• In the first argument, he tells the beloved of his time as it were "a year's ago," during late autumn, when the leaves had fell off of the forest, the weather cool and the birds having abandoned their nests.

• In the second quarter, he then says, his age seems to be like late dwarf time, "as it fades in the west after sunset," and the remaining light gradually fades out in darkness that is likened by the speaker to "the second self of death."

• In the third part, the speaker likened to the brilliant remnants of fire that were "on his youth's ashes" — i. e. the clogs of logs that once allowed him to burn — and that soon would be consumed "by what it fed" — that is, would be extinguished while it sunk in the ashes which were created by its own burning.

• In the couplet, the speaker tells the young man that he must realize these things, and his love must be strengthened by knowing that when the speaker, like a fire, is extinguished, he is soon to separate himself from the speaker.
