FALLTIME.
Gold of a ripe oat straw, gold of a south-west moon, Canada thistle blue and Simmering larkspur, blue, Tomatoes shining in the October, sun with red hearts, Shining five and six in a row on a wooden fence, Why do, you keep -wishes on your faces all day long. Wishes like women with half-forgotten lovers going to new cities ? What is there for you in the birds, the birds, the birds, crying down on the north wind in September, acres of birds spotting the air going south ? Is there something finished ? And some new beginning on the way ? *• —Caul Sandburg, in Currant. Opinion.
