uma das quatro estações temperadas da Terra, ocorrendo entre o outono e a primavera; uma das 8 estações Sámi
O inverno é a estação mais fria e escura do ano em climas temperados e polares. Ela ocorre após o outono e antes da primavera, quando o hemisfério está orientado para longe do Sol como resultado da inclinação do eixo da Terra. Diferentes culturas definem datas diferentes como o início do inverno, e algumas usam uma definição baseada no tempo.
“Last we consider the time of their coming, the season of the year. It was no summer progress. A cold coming they had of it at this time of the year, just the worst time of the year to take a journey, and specially a long journey. The ways deep, the weather sharp, the days short, the sun farthest off, in solsitio brumali, the very dead of winter.”
“The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter; the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to literature, summer the tissues and the blood.”
“Observe and see how (in the winter) all the trees seem as though they had withered and shed all their leaves, except fourteen trees, which do not lose their foliage but retain the old foliage from two to three years till the new comes.”
“On that winter day when Nature was deep in her annual slumber and seemed to have kicked the clothes off. Copses, dells, quarries and all hidden places, which had been mysterious mines for exploration in leafy summer, now exposed themselves and their secrets.”
“Winter's not gone yet, if the wild-geese fly that way.”
“Many of the phenomena of Winter are suggestive of an inexpressible tenderness and fragile delicacy. We are accustomed to hear this king described as a rude and boisterous tyrant; but with the gentleness of a lover he adorns the tresses of Summer.”
