“The wild, rising wind starts wrestling the sun.
The leaves from the linden alight on the earth.
The grass that was green turns to gray in the field;
All ripens and rots that had risen that spring
Thus the year all its yesterdays yields in the end.
The whirling, cold wind of the winter then starts
To din.
But not before the moon
Of Michaelmas moves in
Does Gawain glean how soon
His bold quest must begin.”
(Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, 525-535)
