| Oh, and I think the last line is very important, because it tells that he didn't magically make winter go away. The snow was still falling, but his "garden" flourished anyway; winter suddenly wasn't so bad anymore. It's about changing yourself to be happy with the circumstamces that you can't change, and once you've done that, you might discover that Winter is beautiful in its own way. | |

Summer ends and his "garden" (his Self) is frozen and covered in snow. Bad times ensue and the garden is in a sad state and slowly dying, all the beauty and happiness as he sees it is gone. No flowers, no life, and no colour anywhere (a state of depression). He finds a piece of summer in his mind, the memories and feelings before everything was like this ("And I lifted my piece of summer Like a piece of memory or a dream ...Like these, caught on film"). He then uses these to break out of the state he's in and restore beauty and colour to his world; ("Used with vigilance, a Pitcher of Summer stirs a memory into swooning, And bravely, the flowers of the past will stretch their limbs into the sky While snow falls quietly all around.") That's what this means to me |

Opium has nothing at all to do with LSD. They are completely different things and their effects are not at all similar. Opium makes you feel very warm and content and comfortable; what that part of the song means is that he's asking for someone to take away his troubles and comfort him (see preceding line: "But come, my love, and rescue me From failue.") |
