LOL! The second part of this quote is quite applicable. First part about spring, winter... seasons...yea, not so applicable when one lives at the equator :-p

Thanks! Lovely reminder :)

Thank you for supplying the source, not read that work of his. A surprisingly optimistic attitude for him, I must say...

He's actually riffing on people retiring to Florida. :-D

Steinbeck, I think, is very optimistic if you see recognizing the good set in relief by the bad as optimism. That's why he's so powerful -- he loves the good and the happy, and enjoys it all the more because it is fleeting.

Ah yes, I see. I don't know, didn't see much that was good and happy in Steinbeck's novels...what little there is, in the characters' lives, gets destroyed in a rather devastating manner, and rather quickly, no?

Perhaps trite, but worth bearing in mind:-)
