I can't get enough. For some reason, rather than feeling like things are over, or that we should be preparing for hibernation, I find I've more energy and feel clearer as summer droops away and fall arrives crisp and fresh. <br /><br />I know it's not really autumnal, but R.T. Smith's <span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;"><a href="http://www.cstone.net/~poems/illumsmi.htm">Illumination</a></span></span> brings me to fall, somehow. I think it's that this is the time when every green thing and flower seems brighter and flashier, wanting us to pay attention and be grateful -- green fervor, that's it. The impatients on my front stoop will not quit. I've never seen them so pink and so green, and the ivy... oh, the ivy. I felt last week that it might grab me up. Anyway, here's to fall, and here's the poem:<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">As if some monk <br />bored in the cold scriptorium <br /> had let his quill<br />wander from the morning Gospel, <br /><br />two tendrils of wisteria<br />have scrolled their green fervor <br />into the weave of a wicker<br />deck chair <br /><br />to whisper with each spiral,<br /> every sweet leaf<br />and dew sparkle, <br />Brother, come with us, come home</span>.<br /><br />Thanks, R.T.

No. History is part of me.” This is the story of the oldest living thing on earth and its unique view of human civilisation. With narration and specially-commissioned poetry by Roger McGough. <br /><br />This original film combines beautifully shot footage of Methuselah, the 26-foot bristlecone pine, with reconstructions of the thousands of years it has witnessed. But what if such a witness could speak? For the first time this 4,643-year-old is given his own voice. <br /><br />Hear the tree’s perspective on passing of ancient civilisations, the settlement of America by Europeans and the testing of atom bombs 100 miles away in the Nevada desert.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10624452.post-69524209674900629372009-09-14T11:37:00.000-04:002009-09-14T12:37:46.301-04:00FYI, I refuse to comment on Kate Spade's new clothing line. There's too much chatter already. If I WERE going to say something, it would be nice. But, that's all I'm going to say.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
