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.
Around each new moon and full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon arrange themselves more or less along a line in space. Then the pull on the tides increases, because the gravity of the sun reinforces the moonâs gravity. In fact, the height of the average solar tide is about 50% the average lunar tide. Thus, at new moon or full moon, the tideâs range is at its maximum. This is the spring tide: the highest (and lowest) tide. Spring tides are not named for the season. This is spring in the sense of jump, burst forth, rise.
