曰春夏，曰秋冬，此四時，運不窮。
Spring and summer, autumn and winter: these four seasons turn without end.

From the Father's Lecture Notes
Two groups, eight characters, divide the world into time and place. The point is not to recite spring, summer, autumn, winter and north, south, east, west; he already knows those. The point is the last line of each: time goes round in a circle, and place has a centre. Those two lines are the lecture.
Translated from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes for the Three Character Classic, written for a parent teaching a child.
