Can spring and winter be far behind? Whose poem is this?

"If winter comes, can spring be far behind?" This poem comes from the last two sentences in the fifth section of ode to the west wind, a poem by British romantic poet Shelley.

The whole poem consists of five sections, which not only summarizes natural phenomena, but also profoundly reveals the historical laws of human society and points out the bright future of the revolutionary struggle after difficulties and twists.

In autumn, the west wind violently blows away stale life, takes away lifeless dead leaves, and blows away life like consumption with sweeping power. However, it didn't kill a life. It will put the seeds in the depths of winter, where they will take root and sprout, and bury the information of spring.

Then, the west wind blew the horn of spring, letting the green and fragrance spread all over the earth and let them spread everywhere with the footsteps of the west wind. After the destruction and cultivation of the west wind, life is booming; The sight and charming fragrance spread rapidly, and dirty and broken things were dying at the bottom of the sea. At the end of the poem, the poet shouted in a prophetic tone: "Winter has come, west wind, how can spring be far behind?"

How ode to the west wind was born;

According to Shelley's account, "this poem was conceived in a forest on the banks of the Arno River near Florence, and the main part is written here. On that day, the warm and exciting wind that gave birth to the storm gathered the clouds of autumn rain that often poured down.

As expected, it began to rain at sunset, and the storm was accompanied by hail, accompanied by magnificent lightning and thunder peculiar to southern alps. This magnificent movement of nature, which purified the earth and shocked the world, inspired the poet. As a result, the storms of nature and the world rose together in his works, pouring into passionate and generous songs, and his most famous lyric short poem "ode to the west wind" was born.
