... How does Keats capture the essence of a season in "To Autumn"? The poem is made up of three stanzas and shows the movement in time from late summer to early winter. The first stanza details the many activities that take place during the season, using expressive language, such as, 'maturing, ripeness, plump, and clammy'. The use of this language serves to leave the reader with a more positive and warming image of autumn. He personifies autumn as a 'close bosom friend of the maturing sun'. Autumn is described as the suns closest friend, which shows the reader what a warm season autumn can be. The sun is 'conspiring with him how to load and bless'. The sun and autumn are working together as a team to ripen the fruit ready for harvest time. The sun is described as 'maturing' as if it is a person reaching the end of its life.
