In the chequered area of human experience, the seasons are all mingled as in the golden age: fruit and blossom hang together; in the same moment the sickle is reaping and the seed is sprinkled; one tends the green cluster and another treads the wine-press. Nay, in each of our lives harvest and spring-time are continually one, until Death gathers us and sows us anew in his invisible fields.
~ George Eliot ( Daniel Deronda, Chapter LXX )
