Summary: "The Four Seasons" by Carl Ewald is a poetic allegory written in the early 20th century. This work presents the personifications of the four seasons—Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn—as princes who negotiate their dominion over the Earth, with each embodying distinct characteristics and powers. Throughout the narrative, Ewald explores themes of balance, conflict, and the cycles of nature. At the start of the story, the reader is introduced to the creation of the Earth and its original desolation, devoid of life until the four princes arrive. Winter and Summer first meet on the mountains, where they engage in a tense dialogue about their opposing forces, leading to an invitation for Spring and Autumn to join their ranks. Spring and Autumn suggest a partnership that allows all four seasons to rule in harmony, creating a cycle that embraces each aspect of nature. The opening chapters set the stage for a fantastical exploration of the seasons, invoking a rich, lyrical style that reflects the beauty and struggle inherent in the natural world.
