Description
Fog lends a sense of romance to this autumn landscape and reminds me of the bleak moors in Daphne du Maurier's gothic novels. Use the close up view to see the details. There are more than is visible in the small view.
Autumn Evening
By Fyodor Tyutchev (1803 -1873)
THE LIGHT of autumn evenings seems a screen,
Some mystery with tender glamor muffling.
The trees in motley, cloaked in eerie sheen,
The scarlet leaves that languid airs are ruffling,
The still and misty azure, vaguely far,
Above the earth that waits her orphan sorrow,
And bitter winds in gusty vagrance are
Forerunners of a bleak, storm-driven morrow.
The woods are waning; withered is the sun;
Earth shows the smile of fading, meekly tender
As the high shyness of a suffering one,
In noble reticence of sad surrender.
Autumn mist in the hills high above Kamloops, BC, Canada
