Sunday Quotation


The Fall of the Leaf



In the beginning of the world we presume all things to have been
produced in their best state; all was perfect, and yet how soon a decay!

All was summer, and yet how soon a fall of the leaf!


John Donne
1573-1631

    Super photograph Friko. Autumn is pretty special when it comes to colour, don't you think?

    What a beautiful fall photo. A carpet of red leaves. Our red is found in the morning and evening skies, but I do miss the lovely colors of the leaves when fall arrives.

    Asking for time to see, what may lie beneath winter's white snow.

    A wonderful life filled week to you.

    Weatherwise, it is still 27 during the day and one is able to sleep without a blanket. Enjoy autumn.

    Great quotation. How soon, how soon, indeed. (Not that I'm thinking of my wrinkles and flabby bits ... or is that bringing it down to far too mundane a level?)
