Countries with 4 seasons follow this order:
SPRING->SUMMER->AUTUMN->WINTER, such is a cycle. Using symbolism,
we may interpret the quote based on human's life cycle and the actual
observations/experiences that we could associate for each
seasons:
Spring symbolizes birth and rebirth, as trees
begin to grow new leaves and young plants begin to
sprout.
Summer symbolizes youth and energy, as this season
brings warm and lively atmosphere.
Autumn symbolizes old
age, because like the leaves that falls, human life begins to fade during old
age.
Finally, Winter symbolizes death, the last season, the
last stage of life, cold, freezing, lifeless...
Now, if we
are going to place Winter face to face with Spring, considering the symbolisms that we
associated with them: BIRTH face to face with DEATH; or if we will put these words in
place of winter and spring we could come up with this: If DEATH comes, can BIRTH be far
behind? Then we could now have a more meaningful
reflection.
Death is negative, as associated by the
freezing cold of winter. We may also link this concept with mourning, sadness, gloom,
lamentation, chaos, hell, etc. and if anyone is at this state (literally or
figuratively), it is but expected that a person will look forward to experience life
again (literally or figuratively)... Rebirth! New life, revival, new hope,
spring...
