Then came the autumne all in yellow clad
Lastly came winter, clothed all in frize Chattering his teeth, for cold that did him chill." - Facing the half dome, walk first to the second niche to the right of the colonnade to examine Furio Piccirilli's Seasons. Spring - A pyramidal group with Spring with her flowers in the center of the group. To the right is modest, timid, fresh young Flora, bringing her wealth of flowers. To the left, one sees man adoring, bringing to mind Tennyson's lines from Locksley Hall. "In the spring a young man's fancies Lightly turn to thoughts of love." Here is that fine feeling that one has in beautiful springtime - the adoration for all fresh young life. Look above now at Milton Bancroft's murals to left and right. He has painted all of the murals in this court. "Spring" is here in floral dress and the shepherd pipes sweet notes. "Seed-time" - This is the time when the seed bag stands open so that the crops for the coming year may be sown. - |
