"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Bazzaro, Burning Leaves, 1893


AUTUMN FIRES

In the other gardens
     And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
     See the smoke trail!
 
Pleasant summer over
     And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
     The grey smoke towers.
 
Sing a song of seasons!
     Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
     Fires in the fall!

Robert Louis Stevenson
