READ the question!!! I figured this one out from the words in the quote. You don't associate a "maturing sun" with spring or summer. Autumn/fall is sometimes rainy around here (especially in October/November.)

Autumn mist anyone?
This is a great example where two of the answers are perfect distractors, namely the two he chose. What is more stereotypical than a poem about spring or summer? And those would be WWOQs around the $15K question .

I agree with Kazoo, I thought it was easy enough to get from reading the question.

Keats was from Kalamazoo?
I don't think the word "maturing" necessarily implies autumn. Any living thing is either maturing or dying, and plants tend to start dying in autumn.

I don't remember what I would've had left in the way of lifelines for Tim's stack, but I know that I would've been out on this question. I probably would've done the same thing--Double Dipped on B and C.

I can't remember how I measured up against his stack, but assuming I still have the DD, I go with it and make B and D my final answers. My first thought was "spring", but "mellow fruitfulness" could also be autumn.
