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.
The most extreme tidal range occurs around the time of the full or new moons, when the gravitational forces of both the Sun and Moon are in phase (syzygy), reinforcing each other in the same direction (new moon), or are exactly the opposite phase (full). This type of tide is known as a spring tide.
