When icicles hang by the wall
When icicles hang by the wall
Poems By: William Shakespeare
The poem is about winter season. Although there is no word summer in the poem, still there is hidden comparison between winter and summer. Every season has it's own disadvantage and weakness, but there is some beauty and attraction. Winter season has disadvantages and Shakespeare is very open and frank in pointing out those weakness.
Dick the shepherd is blowing his nail, Tom carries the logs into the thrum, Milk comes home frozen. Blood become cold and ways are muddy, Cold wind blow and people have to suffer from coughing. Nose beings to water down and birds can not fly up in the sky. They are disadvantages of winter season. There is the beautiful song coming from the Owl at night. The song of the bird is the symbol of happiness found in the winter season.
From the very beginning the poem tells us to go inside the house. We can't enjoy winter roaming outside. We can enjoy winter inside the house sitting in a warm room and sipping hot soup of roasted crab. This is more then all the disadvantages. We can enjoy summer roaming outside at evening taking the fresh air.
