Spring is a time of bringing life to earth as it breathes upon the flowers, trees, birds, and animals. Edmund Spenser and Thomas Carew describe "spring" in different ways, yet they both use similar methods of literary tools. Personification, romanticism, images, alliteration, and metaphors are literary tools that the writers use to paint a picture of springtime. Spenser and Carew set the mood for the poem in different ways. Spenser's poem seems to call spring to arise and get ready for love. "Make haste therefore, sweet love, whilst it is still prime, for none can call again the passed time." It is as if he wants the earth to wake and get ready to bring life anew to the earth.
