About This Quote
The weather is a part of our lives that we cannot change. Many people choose to ignore this fact because they think it will make them happier. However, the weather is a part of life that we should take seriously. The weather can make or break our moods.
If it is rainy, we feel sad; if it is hot, we feel angry; and, if it is cold, we feel depressed. The weather has a strong effect on us because the sun and the air make us feel happy or unhappy. That is why Wallace Stevens turns to the weather as an idea that moves through his poetry.
