Soulton landscape, like all living things, experiences its own “seven ages.”
Spring awakens it with vibrant hues, echoing the youthful energy of Rosalind and Celia in the Forest of Arden. Summer brings a flourishing abundance, mirroring the established love and security found by the play’s characters.
But now, autumn descends upon Soulton Hall, painting the As You Like It woods in rich golds and fiery reds.
This is the season of the “melancholy Jacques,” a time of quiet contemplation. The leaves, once bursting with life, now gracefully surrender to the changing winds. Yet, there’s a certain beauty in this transformation, a reminder of nature’s enduring cycle. Just as the characters in “As You Like It” find solace and self-discovery within the Forest of Arden, Soulton Hall in autumn invites us to reflect on the impermanence of things and appreciate the fleeting splendor of each season.
