T.E. Hulme, H.D., and William Carlos Williams were practitioners of the imagist principles as laid out by Ezra Pound in the March 1913 issue of Poetry (see âA Retrospectâ and âA Few Don'tsâ).
A spring tide refers to the 'springing forth' of the tide during new and full moon. A spring tide is a common historical term that has nothing to do with the season of spring. Rather, the term is derived from the concept of the tide springing forth.. Spring tides occur twice each lunar month all year long without regard to the season.
Seven days after a spring tide, the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. When this happens, the bulge of the ocean caused by the sun partially cancels out the bulge of the ocean caused by the moon. This produces moderate tides known as neap tides, meaning that high tides are a little lower and low tides are a little higher than average.
