Touched by An Angel
By Maya Angelou
[1] We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
[5] and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
[10] ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
[15] In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
[20] Yet it is only love
which sets us free.
It’s correct to say that:

Seasons
(by wikipedia)
[1] A season is a division of the year, marked by changes in weather.
Seasons result from the yearly revolution of the Earth around the Sun and the tilt of the
Earth's axis relative to the plane of revolution. In temperate and polar regions, the
seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's
[5] surface, variations of which may cause animals to go into hibernation or to migrate, and
plants to be dormant.
During June, July and August, the northern hemisphere is exposed to more direct
sunlight because the hemisphere faces the sun. The same is true of the southern
hemisphere in December, January, and February. It is the tilt of the Earth that causes the
[10] Sun to be higher in the sky during the summer months which increases the solar flux.
In temperate and polar regions generally four seasons are recognized: spring, summer,
autumn, winter.
In some tropical and subtropical regions it is more common to speak of the rainy (or wet,
or monsoon) season versus the dry season, because the amount of precipitation may
[15] vary more dramatically than the average temperature. For example, in Nicaragua, the dry
season is called Summer (Oct to May) and the rainy season is called Winter (Apr to Nov)
even though it is located in the northern hemisphere.
In other tropical areas a three-way division into hot, rainy and cool season is used.
In some parts of the world, special "seasons" are loosely defined based upon important
[20] events such as a hurricane season, tornado season or a wildfire season.
Chinese seasons are traditionally based on 24 periods known as solar terms, and begin
at the midpoint of solstices and equinoxes.
The words: “yearly” (line 2), “higher” (line 10), “rainy” (line 16), “which” (line 10), are used consecutively in the text as:
