How it's used
This is a classical idiom often used to describe a serene and poetic atmosphere. While it appears in literature, it is still frequently used in modern speech to set a romantic or peaceful mood for an outdoor setting. It carries a sense of elegance that distinguishes it from simply saying the weather is nice.
Examples
The moon is bright and the breeze is gentle tonight, perfect for a walk by the sea.
