These words from P.B. Shelley's poem are not just mere words but emanate a prophetic message which puts a stamp of immortality on this poem. Winter stands for deaths and depressions, trials and tribulations, pangs and throngs, miseries and sufferings, while spring on the other hand stands for pulsating thrill, buoyant spirit, happiness and mirth, rejuvenating life, fragrance and aroma, joy and hope. Anything cannot have an eternal sway, it cannot overrule the basic law of nature of continuous change. Life is full of tears and smiles, sometimes tears predominates. misfortunes and sufferings may loom large. Dark clouds may eclipse the sun of success but for how long?
It happen sometimes that your love doesn't respond and you want to commit suicide, your friend leaves you in the lurch and you fret and fume and doesn't want to survive. One day lying on your bed you may take stock of your life and brood over your misfortunes and consider taking overdose of drugs and embrace the eternal sleep.
But people still continue to live. The messages and preachings of the great minds urge them to carry on. They make him see the dawn of hope in the darkest of clouds. One shouldn't loose heart come what may.
If we just twist the title a bit, if spring comes can winter be far behind. It means that person should never be satisfied with what he has achieved. He should constantly work and make preparations before hand for the onslaught of winter. So man must remember that everything has its days numbered.
