"When
Persephone returns from the underworld each year, Demeter makes the earth bloom and grow
beautifully which is the time of year we know as Spring and Summer. When Persephone returns to
the underworld, Demeter stops and Fall & Winter arrive."
The Greeks have a visceral way of explaining for the seasons which is quite satisfying until we found that our little planet revolves round the sun with its axis tilted at 23.5 degree to the ecliptic. I think Shaw mentioned that every time you learn a new thing you lose something.
I should go out and clear the debris around the daffodil shoots, and the cobwebs from my head.
