Why was the Mother Been Compared to the ‘Late Winter’s Moon’? - My Mother At Sixty-Six

Why was the mother been compared to the ‘late winter’s moon’?

The poet’s mother has been compared to the ‘late winter’s moon’ because winter, like old age is a time of inactivity.Old age is the last phase of human life just as winter is the last month of the year.And in old age a men grows pale like death just as the moon in late winter looks pale white.
