9 steps through October

24
Mine eye hath play'd the painter and hath stell'd
Thy beauty's form in table of my heart;
My body is the frame wherein 'tis held,
And perspective it is the painter's art. ~William Shakespear

Ha!

At the crystal moon, at the red branch

of the slow autumn at my window

~Pablo Neruda

Steel Pumpkin grin

Nor gates of steel so strong but Time decays?

~William Shakespear
