Quote #4
And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow. (9-12)
Snow is pretty and all, but it makes us think of winter, cold temperatures, and death. We're not sure if the speaker is talking about white cherry blossoms here, or actual snow, but that's part of the point. Rebirth and life (the blossoms) and death (snow) are very closely intertwined.
