The orator riffs on seasonal change and weather as a metaphor for human minds. He jokes about moonlit nights aiding rich and poor, and cites the ocean, farms, and urban scenes to argue nature made variety, not uniform scenery. He ridicules overstatements and hints at practical limits of climate and agriculture.
