These are the opening lines of ‘The Canterbury Tales’ in a modern English translation; they begin in spring in the rain:

When April with his sweet showers
Has pierced the drought of March to the root
And bathed every vein in such moisture
Which has the power to bring forth the flower,
When also Zephyrus with his sweet breath
Has breathed spirit into tender new shoots
In every wood and the meadow. . .
The people love to go on pilgrimage. ~ Page 68
