“There
is wind where the rose was,
Cold
rain where sweet grass was,
And
clouds like sheep
Stream
o'er the steep
Grey
skies where the lark was.”—British poet Walter de la Mare (1873-1956), “Autumn,”
in The Oxford Book of Twentieth-Century Verse, edited by Philip Larkin (1973)
I
took the image accompanying this post three years ago at Overpeck Creek, not
far where I live in Bergen County, NJ.
