Shakespeare's word choice conveys the season by giving the reader a clear vision of what he is talking about. Shakespeare also uses diction to tell you just what time of year it was happening. He described the way the leaves were changing, which indicates he was talking about autumn, as well as the nights ending.

>2. Why are time and season are significant in this
>sonnet?
Time and season are significant to this sonnet in many ways. They help portray the feeling of the setting. It shows it was darker, because Shakespere wrote about the sun going down. Time also helped Shakespeare to describe the age of a person and the mood of the setting.
