If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
The proverb 'If winter comes, can spring be far behind?' means if something bad or unfortunate happens, one should not lose his or her heart. There is something better and much more fortunate that will soon follow. It refers to the cycle of joy and sorrow which goes hand in hand and do not stay permanently.
It all means that we should never give up hope. We should not entertain imaginary fears. We should stick to optimism in all circumstances. This is the clear and loud message that P.B. Shelley's prophecy tells us— “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”
In simple terms, it is one of the famous lines of the most popular poem of the romantic poet P.B. Shelly. This poetic line is a rhetorical question; hence it needs no answer as everyone knows and understands Nature and its laws. "Mutability is the manifestation of Nature” as we all respect it.
