Lets' hope not!

No sun - no moon - no morn - no noon -

No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day.
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! -
November!
[Thomas Hood , 1799-1845]
Hood doesn’t say in which member there is “no comfortable feel”. Perhaps it’s one that
From its ice shall be released
And soothed by [Emm’s] reviving hand
In former warmth and vigour stand.

[John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, 1647-1680]
