“To me, fair friend, you never can be old, For as you were when first your eye I eyed, Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold Have from the forests shook three summers' pride, Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn'd In process of the seasons have I seen, Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn'd, Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green.” FirstsStillsSeemsEyeTurnsThreeProcessSawsPrideColdSummerSpringFairsSeasonsHotGreenWinterForestsAutumnYellowPerfumeJuneAprilFour SeasonsWinter Cold Author:William Shakespeare
